User Banned (5 Days): Inflammatory false equivalencies surrounding prejudice and intolerance
Yeah, don't mind that I am a gamer for over thirty years. That has nothing to do with my opinion. Instead, it is easier for all of you to hurl insults and falsities at me. Crazy a 3-dacade long gamer just wants to talk about the games. I am such a horrible gamergater, whatever that is.
People are in here, a lot of you, pushing agendas of intolerance and hate of others. The irony is not lost on me here as a bystander watching the conversation from afar.
I think all of you need to take a long hard look at yourselves and the non-empathetic BS your pushing. Not one of you are respecting one another's valid points or arguments.
Yes yes, "I don't even know what a gamergator is" we've seen it a million times you are not fooling anybody here.
People are literally dying because of the Republican party and their policies. It's not fucking "amusing" at all
Best wishes to Sonic Fox and hope he continues to have a good time gaming!
"I just wanna talk about my gaaaaaaames :'("
Truly the most oppressed class is the gamer. Everyone else suffering should do it out of sight because honestly this is a GAMEZ forum.
"Stop calling me a gamergater. I mean uh not like I know what that is!"
Nobody is buying the shit you're peddling. Try to be a bit more subtle.
I've been gaming for almost 30 years, and one thing I learned in those years of gaming is
Fuck outta conversations that you don't want to participate in haha, like why the fuck do ya care about this conversation happening if you want to talk about games
No, you see, he has been gaming for over 30 years, which means he can pull rank on you. Or something, because fuck if I know why how long you've been a gamer is relevant.
I don't have time to read the whole thread so sorry if it's been mentioned, but he's gone from just under 50k Twitter followers before his speech to now being on 115k, lol.
I loved it and I'll be paying more attention to him in the future. It was so genuine and it was really great to see him be so open like that. I don't think he should have called out republicans, but I'm not gonna criticise him for doing it.

Fuck off with this shit. WE are the ones pushing for intolerance? Lmao, just put the TV on foxnews for a while and hear all the intolerant crap constantly said about women, lgbtq, PoC, etc. There's no valid argument there to discuss, it's just hate camouflaged with pretty words.
Grow a pair and realize that you're not the one that suffers real discrimination and violence mister 30 years-in-gaming guy. Everything is political, if people can push for respect on this medium (and this forum) they should, snd that's not an "agenda", it's simple human decency. Get out.
You call this a valid argument?
I would call it an ignorant hot take. Not a valid point, nor an argument.
You're the real Shy Guy here. Please get your doppelganger under control
Then why do they constantly push for legislation to limit their rights.
No, they just hate anything that might remotely benefit blacks and gays, it seems...
SMUG's streams are magical. Dude is a comedian, so entertaining
I think an actual black gay guy would know the most about that
Republicans support cops who murder unarmed black men, and they were salty as hell when same-sex marriage was legalized across the country 3 years ago. If they don't actually hate "blacks and gays," then they are doing a bang-up job of making it appear that they do.
Then explain why Republicans constantly pass policies that specifically try to limit the voting rights of blacks and take away civil rights from gays.
Congrats. I'm not super familiar with them, but I've heard nothing but good things about them and they seem like a really cool person.
I mean he named the three as something republicans hate when it's not the same. Republicans hate black ppl and gay ppl because they are biggots. People hating on furries is not a republican thing. I like SonicFox but...
They don't.
Name me 1 single current policy that restricts Black voting or their civil rights. I'll wait.
Republicans are literally working right now to restrict the powers of incoming democrats and to also restrict early voting, which targets VERY SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHICS. Actively doing it. They do not like the people who benefit from this, those people know this too, hence wanting to make sure they do not have a say because their say is unambiguously to bin the republicans off.
Conservative politics are one of the worlds greatest blights. When America bins it off, it will do better. The UK has gone to shit with Conservatives in charge, it will also be better without it.

I like how people think inclusion and calling out bigotry is always political. It would not have to be this way if you lived in an inclusive and accepting society that did not kill and abuse minorities. Get over yourself and your "private" sphere of games. Games have always been political to a degree and everything that happens in our lives is formed by politics. Stop living in a bubble.
I like Sonicfox because he speaks out his mind and does not care of what others think. It is very healthy to have him representing gamers. M

That's easy--the gutting of the VRA by the Supreme Court and it's ramifications to this day, leading to Republicans being able to close polls in all kind of black-heavy (and other minority-heavy) areas:

That's also without even touching on say all the fucked up stuff that happened in this just passed Georgia's governor's race:

It's just funny to people that you don't have a problem with one but do with the other. Cringe cringe cringe!
That tweet is solid gold, also.
This pretty much sums up the world:

People are not enjoying having their world-view challenged where they feel everything is all sorted out now, getting upset about certain topics being talked about. The reaction? Straight off to conservative politics. Don't change anything! Everything is ok for me! Stop talking about these things and rubbing it in my face!

I have nothing against furries (even if they find them weird) but that suit was just too much. A bit more classiness would suit him more.
Why? It was a games award show, not like it was some classy event.
Compared to what? Geoffs semi-tuxedo trash outfit? Every oversized suit with a missing neck-tie from corporate overlords up on stage spouting pre-written marketing ploys? Come on now. There was no classiness aside from parts of the live music to be had at this show, and SonicFox fit right in while also having one of the few genuine moments up on stage!
Nah, it's just an excuse for us to run around causing mischief and getting drunk.
My, we've grown an odd crop of ill-informed users posting hot-takes in this thread, haven't we?
If he anybody stops sponsoring him for pointing out Republicans are bigots, I doubt very much that he'd want their money.
We are characterising Republicans based on their thoughts and opinions. It's not our fault they've chosen to have shitty thoughts and opinions.
"Respectable people on both sides". Where have I heard that before... ah, yes, it was the current Republican President. Now, what was the context in which he was saying that again... hmm... ah, now I remember!
Luckily, galv 's post from earlier has you covered:
