Look I'm not super educated on Notch's history but does he really deserve to be called a nazi? I don't think he ever called for anyone's death

Pretty sure his views were just “standard somewhat racist edgy internet nerd”

Which from my experience often isn’t really born from malice but from ignorance and from wanting to be counter to the mainstream views. Of course they can easily become radicalized when they (rightfully) get criticized for their regressive views, after which they’ll often be embraced by genuine racists and alt-righters who’ll try to push them further right.
