It's a shame they murdered the series. It would actually work well as a metroidvania.

It's also a shame TenNapel is such human trash, because the games were genuinely good.

Was he only involved in the animated series? Or the games as well?

Everything. He created and owns the character.

It doesn't matter what kind of person he is if he created masterpieces such as Jim and Neverhood. I love what he did, not himself, and his personal life is not my business.

If you give money to people who stand for values opposite to yours, you're essentially financing a world where there's no room for you.

I thought that up until he started to directly attack the LGBTQ community.

I don't care what someone's beliefs are - unless they start to harm other people.

Same dude if I wasn't able to separate the artist from the art the only thing left to watch or read would be Sesame Street and Mr Rogers neighborhood.

Its like the shitty person wins twice. They did whatever fucked up thing they did and took away the ability to enjoy something you love.

Fuck that.
