Brodie Robertson / u/OmegaDungeon / BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social: pedophilia, incest, racism, n-word, homophobia, 'anti-SJW'+

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a 3-person HA collective with 4 projects in the works. Recently we received information on our Discord server about a popular Linux YouTuber, Brodie Robertson, and his dubious past.

Before the Reddit API changes, there was a research-focused project called PushShift that archived every post and comment ever made. PushShift's data is still available. Today, one of several available archives and revival efforts can be found on https://academictorrents.com/browse.php?search=RaiderBDev.

Brodie has scrubbed his account of these comments and posts when he began gaining popularity but they are on all the archives.

Pedophilia, incest

On a post with the title "U.N. Proposes Initiative To Ban Loli, Shota, And Underage 'Drawings And Cartoons'", on deleted comments https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/arkcow/comment/egotm8e/ Brodie (21 then) was enthusiastically advocating in favor of sexual depictions of children in art (loli), labeling this initiative by the U.N. as an attempt to 'censor art', first screenshot.

What's more, his Reddit voting history is visible right now, showing upvotes on posts akin to "Are you a loli lover? Gumiho and I are! Have some Izuna and Shiro :)" https://archive.today/G6MgT

His alleged Tumblr blog [scrubbed as well] which gets referenced in the screenshots, was a hentai one. The only archived versions we could find are on archive.org and contain loli images. We don't want to link to the archive here for obvious reasons but his alleged tumblr was omegadungeon.tumblr.com.

For incest, screenshots.

Racism, n-word, homophobia, 'anti-SJW'+

Brodie has been cultivating the image of an 'enlightened centrist' by engaging with opposing viewpoints. One day, he’ll platform a trans developer, and the next, he’ll host Vaxry—who has sent loli to people https://rentry.co/Hyprland-controversy.

Yet his old Reddit posts expose a history of Gamergate participation and anti-'political correctness' views. From 2015 to 2019, he was active on r/TumblrInAction, a subreddit banned for its toxicity and harassment campaigns.

Some of his comments there:
"I'm a kawaii white nigga, nya desu. Are you triggered yet."
"I'm happy that they're voluntarily removing themselves from the gene pool"
"So they're just normal people who aren't very sexually active and they want to be special."
"What if, just here me out, he finds you attractive because you are mixed. Oh wait I forgot having preferences is racist."
"He should just come out as Muslim and then anyone who criticizes him becomes an Islamophobe."

The data holds a wealth of information, though we're currently occupied with other projects. With some digging, you could uncover even more.

Brodie was an adult when he made the majority of these posts. He only deleted them once he began gaining fame. Any apology now would be disingenuous - this is about protecting his career, not demonstrating real growth. His continued behavior proves he hasn't changed. He still defends Vaxry, he still signed the pro-RMS letter, he still defends Lunduke, he still interacts with the whole 'anti-woke' Linux crowd. Whenever his audience's toxicity is highlighted, he quickly distances himself, insisting they don't speak for him yet consistently refuses to rein them in.

Opensource desperately needs better advocates—opensource leaders have propped up Brodie for public relations. Representatives from big distros like Fedora, companies like System76 and projects like OBS.

We are of course not blaming these organizations but it shows the trust and role Brodie was given by the community.

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

“But that's not what happens," Connor said.

Thus, these violent physical processes are sloshing ordinary #matter around across immense distances & consigning it to the #cosmic wilderness. This #gas is not in its usual state but rather in the form of #plasma, with its electrons & protons separated.

"So the question we've been grappling with was: Where is it hiding? The answer appears to be: in a diffuse wispy #cosmic web, well away from #galaxies," said #Harvard University #astronomy professor Liam Connor, lead author of the study published on Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.

A gas-rich cosmic web revealed by the partitioning of the missing baryons - Nature Astronomy

Using a large cosmological sample of FRBs, Connor et al. have located many of the Universe’s unseen baryons, finding that most reside in the diffuse intergalactic medium, not galaxies—confirming the strong astrophysical feedback seen in simulations.
