He also provided funding for a pro-Trump group called Nimble America that ran a billboard campaign showing Hillary Clinton with the phrase "Too Big to Jail." The revelation of this funding caused waves in the gaming development community with several developers stating they would not work with Oculus unless Luckey stepped down.


So what? He can give his money to whatever group he wants. It's no one's business. People are such easily offended babies.

Actually Mr Luckey, that's called defamation. Which is very much not okay.

I'm going to say this before everyone else jumps in and this gets out of hand. This is not going to turn into a political discussion. The actual topic is him cosplaying as Quiet from Metal Gear Solid. We're going to stick to that and not the last little 2 sentence blurb. Thanks.

Rather unfair given how the article itself goes out of it's way to point out the person's political views. Had that part not been included then this probably wouldn't have happened. Since it is part of the article it should be fair game for discussion.

That aside, the only thing that would top his cosplaying of Quiet would be the fat guy cosplaying a sailor scout. Though that's a stretch since at least that guy wasn't showing as much skin.

It seems that Mr. Luckey has learned the hard way how engaging in dirty politics can result in a devastatingly negative reputation of himself...

Perhaps it was that day that he got really "un-Luckey". Cool

Everyone's going on about his pro-Trump stance when what they really need to complain about is how he makes for an ugly, fat Quiet. This is why guys shouldn't crossplay, it just doesn't work! Please don't get mad at me for calling him ugly in that costume!

You're exactly the reason why we need more crossplay. Rolling Eyes

Does the title mention it in any way? Nope. Is it the main focus and point of the article? Nope. It is mentioned cursory in regards to the fact he has been in the new for various reasons. It was not put it to directly mention political views in themselves but only outline what he has been in the news for. Considering how every single political focused thread has fared in the past several months we do not need another headache. Especially since it is not even the main point and focus of this thread. So no, it is not rather unfair given those points. If you still feel so by all means go PM an admin and make your case. Until then please stay on the actual topic at hand which is Luckey crossplaying as Quiet.

On another note keep it civil folks and watch the insults. Thank you.

i'd say it might be relevant in contextualizing why luckey's doing it: i.e. being wacky and "controversial"! woah! i highly doubt that he really identifies with quiet, though ofc you don't need a reason to dress up, haha.
