    More n bombs than a Richard Pryor special.

    A tragic and fascinating man. The internet treated him as something of a spectacle, if not an outright meme. I'm not sure if it helped him in any way. I hope that at least some of the attention he got online brought him genuine happiness.

      I think there were some who really cared but I also think a lot of the 4chan types that found him egged him on and tried to trigger his schizophrenia because they treated it like it was all a big joke.

      It really is tragic. He deserved better. RIP King Terry https://youtu.be/Xb9GBLPCeVw

    We miss you Terry.

      This one is probably the most widespread, I'd guess. To this day many online call feds 'glowies' or accuse someone of glowing in the dark.

    Was Terry genuinely racist or did he just like spewing garbage to be edgy?

    Was thinking about Terry last week as the anniversary of his death came by. I have a lot to say about him and the way online society treats people like him, but not now.

    For those who haven't seen it, this is one of the better write ups on TempleOS as a piece of technology to evaluate on its own merits:

      "Online society?" How did the online society treat him? I didn't witness a consensus.

      What I saw was people who thought he was insane, people who thought he was a genius, people who considered him a racist, people who saw him as a racial hero, people who pitied him, people who respected him...

      You might have a lot to say about online society, but you're the bird staring at the monitor. There are actually no conclusions to be drawn.
