Understand the intent of the no politics rule. It is to avoid getting into political tribalism and mudslinging, no matter the alignment. Discussing how the tariffs may impact the industry financially is an economics/business topic directly relevant to discussions here and is possible for reasonable adults to stay on track with. Angrily naming politicians and calling out the opposing tribe is no longer aligned with constructive dialogue.

 

[Rush2112]

If i tried the same thing on reddit, my post would be immediately removed. But here you are, OP, exercising your freedom of speech.

 

[Puscifer]

There are several topics talking about tariffs affecting the price of games/parts/consoles, so I don't know what kind of crack you're on. Maybe try posting in one of those?

Seriously, a post I made days ago got liked twice today and is still active. TBH gamers Nexus thread should be a one stop thread for it all.

OP has a point. So many threads around hero devolve into stupid culture war shit. It's really annoying.

Boss I want more emojies reactions

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

IMO the tariff talk is retarded and gay cause no one knows. All we know is it didn't change the Switch 2 price so far.

Not sure if this will animate properly here but I was saving this for a rainy day:

 

[Kotaro]

Fuck woke DEI bullshit in gaming. Any game with woke content, deserves to be mocked to the oblivion

 

[SlyDoughnut]

Spoken like a true body type B

Lol. I'm a 50 years old body builder with a wife and kids. You spoken to a girl yet?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Lol. I'm a 50 years old body builder with a wife and kids. You spoken to a girl yet?

I'm a hermaphrodite twin that's into incest and has a husband/wife and double of the kids.

 

[FatallyYours]

Lol. I'm a 50 years old body builder with a wife and kids. You spoken to a girl yet?

You're 50 years old and posting at 5am about incels and wokeness, whilst also picking fights on the Internet about how you're an alpha male with a wife and working sperm and calling out others for not talking to girls

 

[SuperC]

Oh a trump and anti-woke discussion hater.. how original this people are

I am starting to see a pattern with "both sides" and "who cares"

If you tried that on that purple place, you'll be perma banned instantly.

 

[samoilaaa]

Fuck woke games

There I said it

 

[near]

We can have discussions about DEI in games without things becoming politically charged. If the conversation stays focused on the impact (or lack thereof) of DEI in areas like game/character design, character development, market appeal, and narrative design, then it's not necessarily a political issue.

 

[DAHGAMING]

You seem like a propper woke cunt.

 

[Little Chicken]

This place would be better with more hen content.

 

[YCoCg]

Don't drive angry...

No, do, it's a great movie

 

[Dirk Benedict]

No, do, it's a great movie

You fucked up my entire premise.. that's fine. We are only Human, afterall...

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

So if woke means gay, and anti-woke is gay, everything's gay!

The incident that OP is referring to happened over three weeks ago. OP created a thread for this when there were already multiple threads discussing the topic. All of those threads were devolving into US political discussions. OP specifically called out Donald Trump in his thread title. OP also has multiple previous warnings about making bait threads revolving around politics.

So I deleted it.

So, OP was exposing himself in Uno?

 

[darth.shrimp]

They're putting chemicals in the NeoGAF forums!

[kremit]

Ritsumei2020, it seems you have a history of creating threads with the sole purpose of getting attention.

That's why we should send you to a confinement facility that never fails to drive people such as yourself insane:

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

I come here for console war banter and anime boobs, fuck politics

 

[ToadMan]

So if woke means gay, and anti-woke is gay, everything's gay!

And an Xbox...

 

[b0uncyfr0]

I agree with OP - fair is fair.

 

[GHound]

Hens in ties.

For some reasons I couldn't post a thread on the recent tariffs potentially affecting the price of consoles,

But talking shit about woke and DEI is perfectly fine? Doesn't make any sense

GAF should ban all the talk about anti-woke politics cause its retarded and gay

Why are people acting like it's not possible to ignore posts and threads?

If that is too hard, and you don't like what the majority write about, then why just not leave and find a better place?

There's plenty of places that thinks DEI is more important than the rest of the aspects of a game, maybe that could interest you more

 

[hemo memo]

Why are people acting like it's not possible to ignore posts and threads?

I've personally chosen not to use the ignore feature. I believe there's often something to be gained from reading different viewpoints, and I have no users on my ignore list in 13 years. Listening to a wider range of opinions can be really insightful.

A degree politics in context, is tolerated. The line isn't always entirely clear where it sits. But you can usually get a feel for how close to it you're walking, I walk right up to it on occasion, and if I'm unsure I'll often end my comment with a "this might be too close to the line" or "we should probably end this line of discussion before we hop over the line". Like you probably know when it's happening. Just be self aware, demonstrate a little restraint and don't get pissy if a mod shuts it down, if you're polite and understand it's their damn job to allow as much freedom of expression as possible, whilst also ensuring the place doesn't tear itself to bits you'll be fine.

I don't know how this specific thread you're referring was framed, but we've had other tariff discussions with regards impact on gaming and it been fine. So something clearly caused issue. Which is fine, the mods were just keeping the peace. We can talk far more freely here than any of the other places.

And there we have it. Perfectly fair. He knew what he was doing.
