I have been feeling bad for the people in the UK, but it's wasted concern. It's a self-inflicted wound they got three years ago and then just keep digging in so hard, it's ridiculous. Honestly, at this point, the Brits probably deserve everything bad that will be happening to the majority of them, and it's hilarious how rich their new PM is gonna get with all the shady deals he will be setting up with the vultures heading in to feast (US, Russia, and China). Godspeed, Scotland, get out whenever you can.

The Conservative Party is not facist.
What is wrong with you people? Read up on real facist parties and movements which you all are seriously downplaying If you really believe that the Tories are facists.
I'm a Conservative voter but I try and read a wide variety of sources for news to avoid this problem. I post and read here, on 4chan, The Telegraph, The Guardian, FT, The Times, and The Independent. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this site and that's fine by me, but engaging and reading a wide range of opinions, often times going out of my "comfort zone" has certainly helped my world view and opened my eyes to issues I may have glossed over before.

Red TextThere can be a discussion on whether Cenk Uygur is a good candidate for Congress or not. However, many of the misogynistic comments made by Uygur were in the last few years, and they have been condemned by LGBTQ+ groups and women's groups in the area. As such, please keep this in mind and do not excuse the comments or dismiss concerns and objections to Uygur as bad faith attacks.

Well people wasted no time trashing Death Stranding even though that's as good of a performance it could have hoped to have. Maybe self-proclaimed Nintendo fans should stop talking about Death Stranding.

ReasonUser banned (2 months): mod whining, doubling down on previous infraction
Hey everyone.
I don't want to derail the thread but since it's the only place I can speak about it, I want to post about my ban here. Well, not my ban, but its consequences. I was banned for two weeks in the thread about gender and ethnic diversity in games. My opinion was that we should not try to "force" diversity on creators, but especially I wanted to focus on the fact that it is - for better or worse - the fight should be given on the creator's turf. This means finding a way to give voice to creators that represent those people. This will ultimately be more effective than anything. Celeste was a perfect example for me, because it was a creation of transgender people, featuring a beautiful transgender character, and narrating a story about actual trans issues.
I got banned after I engaged with a couple of members who seemed to be overly aggressive towards me. I was attacked for my opinion, while I never even said I was against them - on the contrary. I can understand that minorities need to be protected, but this didn't seem to me like protection, rather than imposition. You either agree with them, or you are imposed to shut up about it.
A member quoted my post some time before or after I got banned. This was his/her post: .
I wish I could engage with this person because some of the things he/she said I would like to extend on, discuss about and clarify. Heck, I can mostly understand, agree and relate to what is being said, and I would glad to contribute in productive dialogue.
This will never happen, and in fact, it will never happen in another topic about anything that might be deemed sensitive to this forum. And whenever I realise a person who is considered a minority takes a stance, I'm out - I don't want to be part of it, read or converse about it.
I might be nothing and my voice might mean nothing - in this forum or elsewhere - but there will be people that have something to say, and might be silenced or choose not to speak because of this climate. Dialogue should always be the desired outcome in a public forum, otherwise it is not a conversation, but an echo. It doesn't matter if it comes from a minority or a majority, it is still an echo. This makes for a poorer forum, as simple as that.
Thanks and apologies if I offended anyone or derailed the thread.
EtcetEraThreadMichelle Obama on her bond with George W. Bush: "Our values are the same"
ReasonUser banned (1 week): insensitive and dismissive commentary
Bush has apologized for Iraq/Afghanistan. I'm not holding a grudge over it. If you can't forgive him then that’s on you. There's things that have been done to my people that I won't forgive either so I understand, you'd never hear me say stop being mad or "get over it" like they do with slavery.
But what people won't tolerate is the angry mob coming for them when we happen to be past a grudge that you are still holding on to. If you're mad at Bush go harass him. You come for me then I firing back. Simple as that.

Sadly, not surprising.You seen how quickly a lot of white progressives here exert their privilege and espouse bigotry in threads dealing with race and gender identity?
A lot of people here only pretend to be progressive and act that way when it suits them.

It really is helping, TLJ was a shit show like we all thought, so we’ll not see them go down the same route. Same with Solo, another piece of shit that was rightfully slammed.

No where in that tweet does he call her mentally weak. He States there's two ways fans engage, citing excitement and outrage, and names Kelly as on the bad side. But he doesn't say she's mentally weak. Just listed the ways that it can be dealt with.
But I don't want to get banned again, so death to Boyega! An apology won't fix this!!!!!!!!!!!

Not saying anything that isn't true there. If you're taking offense to me pointing out that a lot of his fans are African American, that had to do with how she's receiving racist hate even from another minority group due to the circumstances.
