I still advocate not buying products as a knee-jerk reaction to this culture war stuff, because I guarantee you that the vast majority of the developers can’t handle the heat and will capitulate shortly after the controversy begins, or were already left-leaning and are willing to give in to seem “reasonable.”
If you want to support a creator after a controversy, wait 2-3 months afterwards to make sure your support isn’t wasted.
This guy just seems to have a needless hate boner. This is in no way endorsing it, it's someone working around it. What would even be the response to that? Should the dev waste time on some weird save edit or just continue as he's had before?
For what it's worth, I agree that knee-jerk purchasing based on initial controversy isn't a good idea-- for the exact reason you mention: many people will initially oppose woke, until the full force of cancellation and harassment comes to bear. Then they fold, leaving you having 'bought in' to someone who folded.
Sorry, my original post was me being retarded.

How is not censoring a third party advocating save-editing 'bending the knee?'
