In a depressing tale as old as time, we're seeing the sole dev who made the #Pokemon ROM hack called PokΓ©mon Lazarus (who goes by 'Nemo') stepping back from the public
They shared their πͺπ―π€π³π¦π₯πͺπ£ππ¦ work free, and the vocal minority crawled out of the sewers and spewed hatred
Homophobia (because there is one scene with pride flags), bigotry, even disgust at Nemo deigned creating audio tracks from the ground up
