I love how you type of people always toss out "I'm not into politics" while coming into political threads to give us your silly political opinions.

Yeah, I insta-ignore someone with a private profile anymore.
Why do you follow Candace Owens on Twitter, and why did you make this post complaining about how she wasn't getting verified on Twitter? You never replied to me in that thread.
Why do you pretend to be a good person?

You're trying to argue that a website that has several threads that use oneangrygamer.net, thegatewaypundit, infowars, as sources has anything of value to say. This is on top of the not subtle dogwhistles, making light of legitimate issues, constant caucasian victimhood complex, and considering POC and women having a larger presence in media to be a reason to vote republican. You're not fooling anyone with this "both sides have valid points." shit fam. And frankly, quite tired of this cross forum drama bs.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm fine with that, I just don't want to leave my personal details out in public after what happened.
ok thank you

Holy shit, this post should be mandatory to read. Quoted again for posterity.
Was it Audioboxer? I don't see the posts.
Well it's not like they're not there. And more than one or three. We just shouldn't become like those people and start dumb lies and hyperbolic bullshit. We can easily beat dumb republican liars with honesty.
I agree with the sentiment, but I honestly doubt that most of the people pulling this shit are all that moderate to begin with. It's like reddit, people always throw out the fact that they're moderate or liberal as cover, yet you find them posting all kinds of hateful alt-right bullshit.
Ah got you. Could you tell me who it was? I sometimes do a rerun on my ignorelist of people that just talked dumb console war shit and leave the political assholes on there.
Oh for sure, a lot of them know they are full of shit, but some people liek Boogie are just too fucking oblivious to their own standing in society and the problems people who don't belong to that group of people face, not realizing they help to embolden the worst assholes with their bullshit.
I know people can still get to it, but I set mine to private after some guys tried to call me out for lying about owning an Xbox one X of all things because I had changed my mind on the system from one week to the next. Had to take a pic as proof and I was so annoyed with the entire situation, I figured I'd at least add an extra step to the process.
Big reason why I don't even visit gaming much.
I'm saying if the right does it to the left there base gets piss vice versa
There are plenty of shit holes where you're allowed to like Trump. Nobody owes you a platform for your views
I just saying if like this site said fuck off Hillary supporters how would you feel all sites should be safe places to talk your mind
Yeah if you support racism, sexism, transphobia and xenophobia you are going to be told to fuck off.
Not seeing a problem here?
Last I checked Hilary wasn't the one going around the country talking about how my LGBT friends don't deserve the same rights as me.
The net should be safe space where everyone can post ideas
A place where someone can post "queers shouldn't have human rights and will burn in hell" is not a safe space for LGBT people. So you have to choose who gets to feel safe "posting ideas" and RPG.net going to err on the side of not the asshole who wants to remove human rights.
I visited GAF for the first time in about 3 months the other day to see how they were reacting to a story. Within 10 minutes, someone was talking about "SJWs," another person used the word "cuck," the word "tranny" was used in the Cyberpunk thread and another person referred to this site as "RetardEra." There is also a literal community thread on GAF dedicated to talking about this forum.
You are unequivocally wrong.
The internet, in general, yes. But what they're trying to tell you here is that some sites choose not to give those people a voice within their community, and have the right to do so.
User Banned (1 Week): Trolling over a series of posts
The censorship of once ideas beliefs or political motives #freeandsave net for all
No, it shouldn't. If your ideas are bigoted, you should be shamed for it.
You don't have a right to any platform if the owners of said platform don't want you there. Otherwise, there would no point to a TOS that specifically outlines that the platform holder can revoke your access if you go against their rules. It's like there's an entire generation of people who were never told to watch their damn mouths and now think they're owed a platform anywhere they choose.
Mate....
How is having to read hate speech free and safe (?save lol) for all?
Eh, I'm not rising, just having fun with someone who doesn't know what they're talking about
Edit - well that went about as expected, is there a collection point for these lemmings ready to jump off a cliff?
This is an exceptional and well sourced post. I understand and fully agree with your frustrations.
Can't say I'd give a single shit. Either way, that's not the situation, so spare us the made up scenarios. I don't blame them in this case. You don't like it, don't visit. Liberals are always expected to turn the other cheek and avoid things, but when shitty right views get brushed aside, it's censorship. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking.
No, there's no money or mouth in this context, that entire post is ridiculous.
My reasonable possibility why black people aren't highly represented in Japanese games? Post the link if it's so damning.
Some ideas don't deserve to be shared. The ones I listed fall into that category. There is no place for such things anymore.
At least we've somewhat moved from an absolute position to a more nuanced one - somewhat.
Obviously there are some Republicans who are not supporting Trump, and it's got to be obvious that not all Republicans believe they belong to the "party of hate" - even if you want to argue that ipso facto it is, you have to believe that good people good intentions are simply wrong or being fooled. I hope we can all agree on that at least.
We can argue about this, and you're probably right that the anti-Trump Republicans are ineffectual in the political process, but isn't it more important to trt and build some bridges, find the common ground, than continue to blanket label, generalize, catastrophize, and think in black-and-white terms?
We do that with free and open discussion - and should be willing and able to do that with people we don't agree with on every point, right?
That's the heart of my original post. Banning people who openly support the President from conversation is just appalling behavior for anyone who is going to pretend the want to have open and free dialogues.
Nah, it's their own fault if they don't know any better, all the resources are available to them to understand why, they just choose not to listen. I couldn't give a shit about their intentions, it's the result that matters.
Yep. The community thread dedicated to ResetEra is tablespoon of legitimate criticism mixed with a heaping cup of argumentation that is indistinguishable from right-wing social media comments. It's kind of remarkable how much the site has shifted. Guess the Earthworm Jim guy likes it just fine now.
