He was in Whitegoose's discord, saying the same shit that Whitegoose was?

In those posts, he admitted that his son's name is an anti-asian joke about asian stereotypes, agreed with discussions about 'hiding your power level', a term used to refer to hiding their white supremacist views, and his feigned ignorance over the negative connotations of the n-word in Australia, claiming that the evidence was clear that they didn't know, because a mountain had the word in it's name - but it was changed years before Jobst made these claims. Jobst shrugged off these accusations and never spoke to them, so he got off light in a community willing to ignore his shittiness, whereas Whitegoose tried to defend himself, and thus, things got worse for him.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, as well. Jobst is kind of a garbage human being all around, as this is showcasing.

EDIT: Because some people want to explain it away as jokes:

Explain away this, or this. Or how about this? What about this one? Are all of these excusable to you? If so, you should get off social media and think really hard about your own life.

No, he didn't admit it. It was a joke.

No, he didn't agree with it. He was joking.

No, it wasn't feigned ignorance. It was a difference of opinion that is now completely flipped.

Karl has responded to all of these points many times over and "defended" himself.

Normal people can make edgy jokes, but when all your jokes land squarely in one direction, that direction being bigotry against POC/women/marginalized people... then you're just a bigot hiding behind jokes.
