!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I don't know why I should respond to that. You list a bunch of things I did not say and ignore that the main point of my comment was that there's a difference between individuals and a celebration/commemoration. Feel free to disagree, but please don't put words in my mouth to argue against.

You are the one making an issue out of it for an entire group of people because of your own perceived optics. You're not even saying you're offended. Just that there's the possibility of causing offense.

Why does theoretical offense clearly not intended by the social media post matter? Why cant people just have fun? Why do you need to drag controversy into celebration?

There are places that refuse to let women go out in public and you're whining that there's the possibility that a Twitter post is going to set us back 70 years somehow.

It only matters to people who see controversy everywhere and refuse to enjoy themselves. Let me know when there's an actual issue where people are actually affected by it, otherwise I will consider you to be little more than one of those people in the middle of times square with a cardboard sign screaming that the world is run by lizards and we should drill out our fillings to keep them from controlling us.

Let people enjoy things.
