EtcetEraThread2020 Democratic Presidential Primary | OT2 | New thread, same old candidates
Red TextSaying a candidate is a plant is a huge accusation, that said person entered the race to only attack or sabotage someone, in this case Bernie Sanders. Making such accusations without proof is nothing more than peddling in conspiracy theories and that has and will always be a bannable offense. We understand that posters will employ heated rhetoric from time to time, but we have to draw the line at conspiracy theories.

EtcetEraThreadAlt-Right attacks Star Wars fan for Reaction Video; Mark Hamill and fans come in to support him. (See Staff Post)
Red TextAfter reviewing this thread we have lifted a ban and would like to make something clear: We understand that the connotations of the "c word" can vary wildly by country, but there are plenty of other words you can use to describe terrible people. It is never okay to use it specifically as a gendered insult, no matter who the target is. In general we ask that you use different language and be considerate of those who live in places where it's highly offensive to refer to women in such a way.

GamingThreadTwitch Punishes White Apex Legends Cosplayer Who Painted Her Face Black (read Staff Post before posting)
Red Text Regardless of your local or individual experience with blackface, it is offensive and degrading to black-skinned people all around the world. It is not just an American issue. Its normalization in cultures without major black populations does not mean it isn’t a degrading and racist caricature that is insulting to the people it imitates. Someone not realizing the gesture is offensive does not negate its impact or the way it makes black people feel. It is not acceptable to excuse racist behavior on the basis of nationality or culture.
EtcetEraThread2020 Democratic Presidential Primary | OT2 | New thread, same old candidates
Red TextThis thread is not supposed to be a battleground between factions of the community. If you want to have an extended conversation about something that relates to the 2020 Democratic Primary, that's fine. But the continued swatting back and forth needs to end now. Get back on topic

EtcetEraThreadTrump tweets spliced together video of Ilhan Omar and 9/11
Red TextThe previous Staff Post was not meant to prevent people from criticizing anyone's response to past incidents. Its purpose was to make clear that using past criticisms of Congresswoman Omar to rationalize why she is been attacked here will be met with moderation, as this is quite transparently motivated by bigotry. The broader political context can still be discussed. Our Staff Post was never meant to prevent discussion on that, and has now been edited to be clearer.
EtcetEraThreadTrump tweets spliced together video of Ilhan Omar and 9/11
Red TextWhile we don't shield public figures or politicians from criticism, this particular campaign is transparently motivated by bigotry. Please treat this incident as a separate and distinct incident and do not use this thread to relitigate other comments she has made.

EtcetEraThread2020 Democratic Presidential Primary | OT2 | New thread, same old candidates
Red TextOK, listen up. The whole point of this thread is so that the site doesn't get clogged up with a million and a half threads about the 2020 Democratic Primaries. As such, the discussion is being limited to this thread until the first debate. After the first debate this thread will be locked and you can make all the 2020 Dem Primary threads you want, but until that point any threads on the primary will be locked.
