It is relevant because it's the entire point of what I was speaking of.
I feel you're contradicting yourself a bit. There's an entire generation of millions of people who believe the Christian conservative censorship stereotype because of him and those like him, which we still see brought up today, and if these people hold grudges forever, then it stands to reason that he's most certainly not irrelevant to the discussion.
Although I would definitely agree that he himself is irrelevant now, the impact that he had on people's beliefs definitely isn't. Plenty still remember Rap music controversy, Mortal Kombat, Bully, or GTA controversy.
His insanity wasn't even just limited to gaming either, he went after TV, movies, comics, and music as well — gaining plenty of airtime on 24-hour news channels at the time.
But thankfully times have changed and people like him aren't given the airtime they once were. It's also hilarious how the same people who fought against him back then tend to openly embrace censorship in 2021.
No we don't. The only regards it gets brought up in, are when people try to point away from the fact that leftism is inherently and inarguably censorious, and always has been. Stalin was proverbially cutting the tongues off of entire nations, and the USSR never stopped.
"B-b-b-b-but Jack Thompson!" doesn't excuse the fact that leftism itself is a threat to human freedom at the most fundamental level. And gatekeeping the trappings of leftism is how human freedom is preserved.
I'm sorry that you can't hold more than one idea in your head at a time, can't read other posts that I've written, and seem to think that I've been justifying what the left has been doing.
The fact that it gets brought up at all — which it does — is proof of the impact it had.
No point in arguing with a myopic fanatic. Take care.
Sorry that you don't like what took place? It doesn't in any way change that it happened — at all.
The fact you would even say such a vacuous and silly thing only demonstrates that you're just a different flavor of ideologue; no better than the people you condemn. You're just trying to pretend the past didn't happen because it makes you uncomfortable today.

There is no meaningful difference between that, and joining them in pointing at a paper tiger.

Your line of thinking makes no sense.
