You do know you can be married to someone and not agree with their politics, yes?

... yes. I'm not an idiot, thank you for the implication otherwise though. That's always nice.

Perhaps you're not familiar with just how outspoken Cory has been about all of this sort of stuff over the years. I think his wife's job is an important disclosure that has not been made, so I highlighted it. Same as a youtuber disclosing a video was a sponsorship, it could impact how their words should be interpreted, but it just as easily might not effect things in any significant way.

I've made my very minor point. I even specified in my initial comment that she is very likely involved with DRM, but not guaranteed to be.

I'd love to hear any counterpoints besides the effective equivalent of "how dare you point out a potential problem with our guy".

Only you can decide how much or how little his wife's job means. I just wanted people to be aware.

Your minor point was to associate him with his wife as if they agreed. Hence my response. I have no idea about your intelligence level, just about your apparent misunderstanding of relationships.

Please don't put words or intent on me. I've been very direct, and at the very least was not attempting to imply any such ideological agreement.

My minor point was to associate him with what appears to be the main source of his household income. No more, no less. Everyone can decide how much that means to them as they wish.
