It’s beyond annoying because I think there are very legitimate reasons to criticize Gates, including the fact he appeared to treat his company like his personal Tinder, but I just can’t help but shoot down the conspiracy nonsense which makes people think I approve of everything he does or am a fan boy.

These people get so swirled up in their fantasies of the good fight they miss actual opportunities to take up the good fight.

Its amusing how much logic these people are willing to ignore to continue their fantasies, too. I keep hearing from my SO's parents that all australian weather is down to bill gates.

Its a little more than that, though. You're not really allowed to go against the grain anywhere on reddits atm, else you'll be crudely accused of being a fanboy, no matter how much logic you produce. This is just people in general.
