When you find out the enigmatic 24-year-old who built one of the first commercially viable virtual reality headsets also funds a pro-Trump political action group aimed at spreading anti-Hillary Clinton memes,eroticization of girls book you may feel like your worldview has shifted a bit.
At least that was the response of scores of virtual reality fans, some of whom had followed Oculus founder Palmer Luckey since he posted the Oculus Rift development kit on Kickstarter in 2012. Luckey is a key figure in the growth of virtual reality. Before the headset maker was purchased by Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion, he was outspoken and heavily involved on VR forums, the Oculus subreddit and across social media -- seemingly rarely with much of a filter. As the Facebook acquisition finalized and the Rift neared final commercial release, that did change some, but Luckey was always a force online.
It was that Oculus subreddit where early adopters generally expressed disgust in Luckey's recent actions. While the post was originally taken down because of its political nature, the news had nearly 2,500 comments.
"I just can't respect anyone who thinks memes and internet smearing is a constructive type of political discourse, especially someone in Palmer's position who is evidently using his money to back this kind of horseshit, " wrote Reddit user wfunction. "It's not his politics that bother me so much as it is his willingness to put money behind one of the worst things about our culture right now. Of all the causes you could put your money behind... Jesus."
"The worst part is that I bought into VR and Oculus bc it has the potential to change how people view the world," wrote rlg. "It's an empathy headset.You can literally walk in someone else's shoes, see the horrors of war up close, meet people around the world and understand them more viscerally."

"Not shocked by this. Considering that he is right leaning and homeschooled, it would almost be a surprise if he was not a Trump supporter," said metalsludge.
