Anything that is related to contemporary political issues and that isn't a discussion of the actual game or related to it.
Like, e.g. someone in a thread about cringey writing in a game going on some off-topic rant about how terrible SJWs ruined gaming, cucks, soy, bla, bla, bla... You get the idea.
Of course it cannot only be in one direction. Some rant about how gamers are so sexist and racist and bla, bla, bla, bla.... would equally get the hammer.
Which is something that's already dealt with through thread splits and the retardoing of threads. If you want a clean experience in the gaming forums, just report the faulty posts and the mods will deal with them if there're enough complaints.
In theory. But that puts a lot of work on the moderation team, making that a rather undesirable and thankless job, especially considering the increasing frequency with which that happens lately.
Easiest solution: Ban politics entirely and be done with it.
Nothing of value gets lost - because this is supposed to be a gaming forum.
Or split the forum - honestly, it's the same to me.
can you provide an example of a modern game inserting dialogue that is overtly sexist and racist?
because I can provide a LOT of the former
Gaming as a medium (and entertainment in general, I'd argue) is traditionally more left-dominated, so that's hardly surprising, is it?
With examples, that depends on how "modern" you want it.
There are a lot of SJW writers/devs that - in their strange desire to be uber-inclusive - actually end up being incredibly sexist and racist (and pointing that out will make them mark you as some kind of *****ist... it's quite funny).
The more "classic" forms of racism/sexism in games are found more often in older games as you probably know, as well as some indies (by far not all of them ever get the Twitter cancel mob treatment).
I'm not arguing that this one-sidedness isn't a problem.
But there will always be one dominating side - the solution is not to try and balance political commentary/inserts in gaming but to remove them entirely.
of course you favor an arrangement that benefits you greatly
It's amazing how shortsighted you are that you think this will be in your favor -- to be fair, this is very common for leftists because they seem to think they will always wield the power.
It's really funny how determined you are in trying to paint me as some kind of raging leftist.
I'm not and never will be, you can save yourself and myself quite some typing by just stopping to try.
This "someone I don't agree with has to be the exact opposite of me" idea is pretty idiotic, you know.
Not that I don't fall into that trap sometimes as well, but that doesn't make it better. I try not to, anyway.
I do not benefit from the current climate at all as my views are attacked just the same as everyone else's not to the extreme left are - as others have pointed out, my presence on this forum alone will be enough to paint me as the worst nazi in the eyes of the mob.
When they then actually check and see I do not like SJWs, oof. I'm not hiding my identity, either. Anyone can at any point find out with relative ease who I am, where I live, etc.
Should I ever come to some fame for whatever awkward reason, the cancel mob
will come knocking.
The only benefit of banning politics to me would be a much more pleasant forum experience due to lack of people derailing gaming threads with politics.
Infinitron is a right-wing jew in one of the most ultranationalist, religious nations in the world, how long do you think it would take for him to consider even discussing gays to be political?
Are you straight up hallucinating now?
