If I buy a Trump bible to “enjoy” it, would you say that is wrong just because I give money to a fascist that is hellbent on killing minorities? Would telling me off be punching down as well?
So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded from sales off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.
Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won’t ever see.
shows up 5 hrs late to do literally nothing of value. actively harms any ability to even remotely learn from this because i can’t read what i wrote even in my own history.
christ no wonder this site is dead as a fucking doornail.
I have a life, I can’t just be 24/7 checking new reports, and I don’t know any mean to get notified when one is opened.
As for the value of my action, if you feel like my action isn’t legitimate, you can either contact the other mods or the Admins.
We do not wish to have trolls and toxic people in our community, so if you cannot stop yourself from spreading your toxicity everywhere, then go elsewhere, this is not the only gaming community around.
ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn’t made a comment in 2 years???
and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?
If you can’t handle calling out bigotry then you’re on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which means that I’m alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also that you can still try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?

They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, and try to reach a concensus. That’s how some of our rules exception came to be.

Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I’m with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?
This community was founded to provide a place were people can talk about games in a constructive way. If you wish to have a community of your own where you can do as you wish, be my guest, and go create it.
you’re the kind of person that quietly watches as they come for everyone else because “im fighting in my own way”.
you’re not fighting for anything but quiet on your shitty little board. there can be nothing constructive as long as nazi idealogy is permitted to dehumanize people.
there is no nuance to fascism and nazis. “if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”
the intolerant can’t be tolerated or they will destroy the tolerance that was worked so hard for.
What does this even mean?
stop enabling terfs. stop enabling punching down. stop enabling fascism. stop enabling ignorance.
I’ve seen plenty of “punching down” towards people who buy a game simply to enjoy it. It’s kind of happening in this thread.

I don’t criticize people for how they spend their money. Do as you will.
Nice straw man though.
ah yes, Gamers the MOST oppressed class of people.
bad faith argument that any sane person would be embarrassed to have uttered.
The problem arises when you believe I’m trying to make some sort of argument. I am not.
I was nicely trying to point out your hypocrisy. But since that didn’t work, let me spell it out for you:
Stop being a dick.
rights are being degraded for trans and women and fucking immigrants all around you but THEY CAME FOR THE GAMERS so you just HAD to speak up.
if you actively choose to enable intolerant actions, you no longer deserve to be tolerated by civil society. there is no paradox here.
civil society isn’t protected by people like you, which is what you clearly fancy yourself doing right now.
civil society is protected from people like you.
