I was going to comment nearly this exact thing. SSC guy has worked slavishly for years to grow a fan base which has had knock-on effects as the community he’s carefully curated intersects with some that have done incredible harm on twitter and reddit. This just reads like not wanting to have to take real responsibility for what has come of his speech.

You can say this about pretty much any group of people.
Everyone is now partly responsible for what the other adults they associate with do when they're not around?
This is not the world you want to live in even if you think you want it.
Why is it relevant that this can be true about any group? You’re projecting. My comment was about the fact that the OTHER group will seek reprisal and it’s at very least rather immature to stamp your feet about this after the fact. Dude isn’t a kid. He makes a gigantic show of his intellect and turns around and acts shocked when he reaps the product of celebrity.
Also to answer your other question yes, we’re all responsible for what others do because no action exists in a vacuum. Like it or not that’s the world we live in. It’s always been this way.
