I see the left doing well in here. Thats good. I guess we can have this thread open. Dont want to make it seem like the right is ok and the left is wrong for once. Had to close that Charlie Kirk thread for the good of the people I guess. Oh it was probably because people were attacking eachother, right objective mods? ....fucking idiots.

Its a big thing happening in the world right now and I would like to see a discussion of it.

You didnt explain anything since I cant access the fucking thread anymore.

Who exactly do you think came out of that thread "looking right"?
The one that called another members sub-human and drove them away?
Or the ones that declared that the shooter is a transgender leftist, before we had any facts?

The inscriptions of the bullet casings, and photos of him dressing up as a Pepe meme point more towards the shooter being part of the Groyper community. Which is an alt-right group.
We still don't know for sure, especially if that annonymous tip from the schoolmate is accurate, but the people that were sure in the other thread sure don't look very reasonable.

Ryuu did explain why it was closed in the "State of the Forum" thread, where you are active.

But you can still check the locked thread, where it was also explained.
Locked threads don't appear in the index. But you can still access them. Go to your VGChartz Buddy notifications for example, and click on one related to that thread, and you're in.

It's still discussed in this thread though, and most of the posts right before yours were about that subject, so I really don't understand what you mean when you say you want to see a discussion of it.

Do whatever you want. Cancel culture is your thing.

You're acting as if it's not your thing.
Here's your reaction to when the Sucker Punch employee was fired for their opinion on Charlie Kirk:



No anti-cancel culture sentiments expressed. Instead, you're implying that more of them share the same view.

The idea that cancel-culture is one side's thing is ridiculous.
It was predominantly conservatives that said they wanted that employee fired.

The only reason it tends to happen more often towards one side regarding politics is simply because that side is inherantly way more prone to breaking TOS, or expressing opinions that companies don't want to associate with.

US progressive core issues center more around things like healthcare and human rights.
US conservative core issues center more around immigration.

Saying that everyone should have Universal Healthcare isn't going to get your company in trouble. You're not exactly attacking a group of people because of how they were born.
But making xenophobic or bigoted remarks can.

Mocking someone's death is in that latter category. Though it's not part of either side's ideology, and only comes up when something like this occurs.

There's no progressive version of the bible stating that straight people will burn in hell.
So guess which side is way more likely to say something that criticizes someone based on their sexuality?
And there's no counterpart to the right's anti-imigration policies on the left.
That would be something like pushing for the deportation of white native born citizens?

Those are some examples of why conservatives are more prone to breaking the rules on these subjects.
Not because those who enforce the rules are being unfair or biased. But because there are no counterparts to many of these issues on the opposite side of the spectrum.

Yet you'll have poeople, liked you just did, implying that things are unfair without considering any of this. As if every problematic ideal exists mirror reversed on the other side.

We can't invent a progressive bible that's anti-straight just to even things out when it comes to LGBT slurs. Etc.
There's f*ggot, tr*nny, h*mo, etc.
What's the anti straight slur? Straighty?

Let's not act like we should expect an equal amount of infractions on either side, as if they're just mirror opposites.

There was cis but of course, being how overly sensitive and unfunny the people that uses these terms tend to be, this shit caught fire like an LA dumpster fire together with all the forced shit like Latinx, Filipinx and all the horrible forced made up words those kind of people tried to pull off.

Oh and staunch Christians/religious people were also made fun of. It's why the 90s and  00s were great because of the counter culture against retarded puritans and not because they wanted to be left like most people are trying to claim these days. Now why do the LGBT folks get shit? Hmmm... let's see. Maybe because they took a page from the shitty Christian puritans, where if I don't agree with their stupid preferred pronouns I am somehow an evil person that needs to be stripped of off my rights? Making existing characters gay to push an agenda? If I can make fun of staunch Christians and ignore them, then I can very well do the same to LGBT ideology.

Now the word You, here will not be pertaining to You specifically just to be clear.

My motto is, Bro, if you're gay, I don't fucking give a shit. If you're truly happy with it, I'm happy for you. We can enjoy common things but leave me and the things I enjoy out of your kinks. Just because I enjoy yuri hentai, doesn't mean I fucking want to see your futanari collection or yaoi collection. Keep that shit to yourself nor do I want to hear how much you enjoy them.

Its fine for you to have your sandbox, but don't go fucking telling me that I need to change my sandbox to accommodate you. It's this recurring theme of seeking affirmation of their existence to the point that they encroach on every fucking thing as if there's no fucking boundary. The ones who are truly gay/trans are a minority. And for some reason, they think this is bad. Now you have younger generations bandwagonning trying to identify as whatever mudying the fucking waters and causing all sorts of problems.

The sooner people learn that minority isn't a weakness and is actually a blessing and that not everything needs to cater for them, nor make things easier for them, the happier they will be. There might only be a few of you, but your community is tighter and filled with genuine people. Grooming younger generations to grow your numbers artificially will lead to your community losing its real identity. There's a reason why gatekeeping was practiced by actual nerds back in the days. Because they knew tourists are nothing but trouble.

Forcing inclusivity will always be retarded and will always lead to the worst kind of ruin. And that is demonstrated well by how the pride flag became a hodgepodge of every fucking vomit that the tourists imprinted onto it.
