I don't know that we needed an article to hear about a social media channel that needs cleaning up. Hire some mods/fire the old ones. Helldivers is popular right now so this story with little meat to it gets traction where it probably wouldn't otherwise.
Love how our existence is a subject they need to decide on and that ultimately the decision boils down to 'both sides are bad actually so please stop talking about it entirely'.

From the Sweet Baby Inc. thread, these are the comments in the patch notes for HD2 on Steam, so it's not only a Discord moderation issue:
Transphobia in the community is a significant part of the article - it's connecting the two in that some of the people roleplaying fascists are actually just fascists.
Because the gaming side of Era are full of trash people who don't care about others so long as THEY'RE having fun, because they aren't in an intersectional minority that it affects. They see LGBTQIA people, especially Trans people as a political theory rather than human beings and so chalk it up to "banter".

You can fuck right off with this bullshit.
Mate, why even comment? You really that desparate to upset people for a cheap thrill?
That's a lot of words, just to say you don't care about trans people. Joke. Absolute laughing stock. They've even thought about banning the word "trans"?? Should I laugh or cry at this point??Love how our existence is a subject they need to decide on and that ultimately the decision boils down to 'both sides are bad actually so please stop talking about it entirely'.

I'd argue that fascism isn't really done accurately in videogames. There's a lot of infighting and ever-changing powerless scapegoats.
People don't need to be entitled to a platform where they can freely disseminate such ideas, though. Many people are also racist and misogynistic. Such "opinions" are not relevant in a gaming community.
This is a common mistake so I get it's confusing but you can, in fact, do this quite easily. The same way we ban others for having 'other opinions' on gay people and other races than white people.
So is the subjugation of women. Do you want to bat for that rhetoric to be allowed in communities as well?
I'm unironically of the position that any opinion that isn't pro-trans should be banned or shamed. You don't have a choice to debate on their existence as they're currently subjected to hate crimes and while having their rights restricted by politicians. You don't lose your rights from not saying your "different opinion about trans identity", but they lose their rights from expressing themselves openly in their country. The least people can do give them a space in online spaces.
Being anti-trans means not respecting human rights. They do not deserve any type of compassion.
Having an opinion other than trans rights is dehumanizing hate speech.
It's worth pointing out that a lot of right wing claims about trans people (or anything for that matter) are heavily exaggerated or flat out false. Centrists should be very hesitant when listening to them. The far-right lies about minors getting SRS treatment when all of them get bottom surgery past 18.
Yeah, a lot of these "just asking questions" people just screencap responses made to their bad faith questions here and post them elsewhere.
i guess it could be a coincidence and it's just gamers being gamers
It's an easy mistake to make considering how many people in this thread tried to dismiss the premise of the thread (sometimes solely because it's a Polygon article) and ignored the shit that went down in the official Discord.
