So that fact is wrong, it was a Jewish man who escaped nazi persecution. I dont think this is historical appropriation on purpose. Clap back politics don't provide anything, and in this case accidentally lied. It's usually free nowadays to check your facts before posting.

Clap back politics don't provide anything

Clap back politics isn't for the opposition but for others on your side to gain a new perspective by pointing out the things people knew but couldn't put into words. It's a tool for our collective awareness. I wouldn't say it's useless.

So maybe it's not useless, because in this case it literally spread misinformation.

Caper in the Castro came out on BBSs in 1989 to encourage people to donate to AIDS research.

I thought I had read somewhere that Zoid Kirsch is also gay. He had quite an impressive career in gaming.

He created Threewave CTF, which was an incredibly inspirational mod for the original Quake. Practically defined team deathmatch arena games to this day. Got hired by the legend John Carmack to work at id Software shortly after and helped develop QuakeWorld and subsequent Quakes.
