Oh yea of course they’re not, and I would say bigotry was not my aim with my comment. The company can do whatever the fuck they want and it’s probably better this way.
I do get that some people might want extreme free speech where nothing gets censored. It allows for other non conventional ideas to spread. For better, and for worse. Yea nowadays it’s often for worse but hey, there’s still a chance. All of this is really subjective.
I just don’t believe that a mod that changes Voice 1 and Voice 2 to Women voice and Men voice is bigotry. Removing pride flags in a game is… well it says a lot of the person, but it doesn’t harm anyone directly and it’s something you have to actively add to your game if you want it. There could be criticism of pride which can be valid as well but that’s beyond my point.
Having this kind of content hidden and with trigger warnings is still more or less doable depending on the content, and can allow for more expression than classical rules, and not only bad expression.
Shitty mods like Crack Life for half-life are super offensive but funny as hell if you take it with a grain of salt. Knowing that could be banned sucks.
But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.
They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what’s convenient for them.
The offensive mods should be hidden by default or similar, with a trigger warning on the mod asking to move on if you don’t agree instead of crying in comments. Same for LGBT… stuff, but we can show by default because it’s not offensive, but have a way to hide it so that those that hate social progress won’t cry as well
And there you go. A platform for everyone. You won’t agree with everyone, but you can make the experience tailored to what you want or don’t want to see
Pretty much all platforms do this. It’s not a bad thing to want a big and established uncensored platform
I’m sure all they’re concerned about is censoring and it has nothing to do with anything else.
Spicy point of view that I don’t agree with, but you’re straw manning here.
I’m concerned about it but not for bad reasons. What stats do we have on the different reasons?
Sorting people with “I’m sure they’re all bigots” is a great way to avoid any debate, but very manipulative
No. What’s very manipulative and a great way to avoid any debate is excusing bigotry under the guise of “not ALL of them”. And yes, you’re a bigot.
Edit: Here’s my evidence of you being a bigot before you try to sealion your way out of this.
Wow massive bigotry right there. I should be banned for this, really.
You didn’t find anything better, really? Laughable
Nobody should be obliged to host bigotry. That’s not “censorship” in a way that matters.

I would personally be for that
