I'm not being controlled tho. I don't HAVE to not say ally; I don't HAVE to respect people's pronouns. I don't HAVE to refrain from hate speech (as long as it does not incite violence). I choose to do so because the value and kindness of doing so has been explained to me (and by people who are oppressed and/or suffer for simply being who they are, no less). The right leaning folks have this irrational fear about being controlled. I get the RATIONAL fear of that, we should always be guarded to protect our freedoms. But as of late the right have taken this rational fear and shot it full of steroids to scare people into voting the way they desire.Whether you resent it or not, this PC miasma (I prefer to think about it in those terms cos I don't really like talking about it as though it's some cabal - but the effects clearly exist) basically takes your good intentions and uses them against you.
I certainly resent it on your behalf.
You're very obviously a credible "ally" to this just movement - IMO it's outrageously unreasonable of the people you support to demand a power of veto over that reality, which effectively amounts to a redefinition of language itself (ie "ally" has an established meaning in English). Do you not see the central point is that an open-minded, loving, generous approach to some minority or other should be met in kind?
And obviously not wanting to be controlled by intolerant fuckwits makes me insecure about my freedom: that's virtually explicit in the complaint!
So you think you got what you rightfully deserved?I'm not being controlled tho. I don't HAVE to not say ally; I don't HAVE to respect people's pronouns.

Bo sweating because he gave a potentially haram game a 10/10Well deserved. How the fuck did he come up with Rivet being a lesbian! If anything the game shows that she has a crush on Ratchet.

Dude this is a PG game. The fact that you got banned for a week shouldn't have happened and they should have just removed the vid but it's more than likely somebody's parent reported it because it was trending on the more info section of the game with a huge "Lesbian Lombax! Yep".
Well deserved. How the fuck did he come up with Rivet being a lesbian! If anything the game shows that she has a crush on Ratchet.
Shes also an alternative dimension version of Ratchet as well
Raises all kinds of questions about whether Rachet/Rivet wants to have a sexual relationship with effectively themselves? or it is a platonic love?Shes also an alternative dimension version of Ratchet as well

Well would you have sex with the alternate sex of yourself?Raises all kinds of questions about whether Rachet/Rivet wants to have a sexual relationship with effectively themselves? or it is a platonic love?
If she was hot for sure. I’d probs cum buckets.Well would you have sex with the alternate sex of yourself?

Can someone who played the game explain the context that clip where the robot says "How white it is". It's really odd.
There's a line of thinking that tech companies are predominantly full of white employees.
And don't give that sort of power to microsoft. Don't ever accept any walled gardens.
You people already fucked up decades ago with steam, let's not make that mistake again.
For making a joke about lesbians? Isn’t one of the tenets of humour that you can poke fun of anything? We’re getting to the point where you can’t make a joke about any race (apart from white people) or any minority (gaysexuals, religious people, disabled people).
Sometimes I get it right, other times I don't. And when I don't, I try my best to make it right/apologize if I have offended. Try apathy, it works.
tl;dr- better to die a free man than live a long life as a slave.
I'm not LGBT. My brother is, my son is. And this is what they tell me. And so I go, 'Cool- I'm here to help and if that's how the community likes to frame things, good on me. I'm not being stalked and harassed and killed by people for my gender or for who I like to fuck, so I'll play a medic or other support character to your cause and you just tell me what you need.'
I wish I would be not lazy enough to use Linux.Play on Linux.
Lutris + Proton and is super capable.
I don't pander.
Because I don't care about the outcome.
I say what I believe, I keep an open mind to other people's ideas (and the fact that their ideas could change my ideas), and I call it like I see it. Sometimes I get it right, other times I don't. And when I don't, I try my best to make it right/apologize if I have offended.
But the whole 'that's what you get' is sort of part of the very problem a lot of y'all seem to be having with the far left. Try apathy, it works. I don't give a FUCK that Sony banned me. If I really want to play more PS games online and I lose my account, I'll make a new one. Or I'll go support a company who doesn't have such crazy ways. Or I'll start my own. The only way the horrid far right or horrid far left have power over you is if you start to give a fuck about what they say or do.

I can't imagine Mel Brooks making Blazing Saddles today. They would've burned him in the stake or something.So you're free as long as you don't offend anyone?
The fact that you've been unjustly banned for making a non-derogatory lesbian joke should give you reason for concern. It doesn't matter if you can just make a new account, an injustice has been committed, "hate-speech" rules have been applied wrongly and comedic expression has been stifled. Your account is of second concern to the draconian application of these rules.
Apathy has never ever helped anyone and you obviously cared enough to upload a 12 minute long video rant about it. Those who abuse these rules to bring down the boot on other people certainly do not practice apathy, on the contrary!
Despite being a supporter of your queer son and brother, you've been banned for spreading hate against sexual minorities. Does that not make you think? Where do you draw the line?
Being a supporter does not mean degrading yourself to an uncritical follower, which is exactly what being an "ally" is all about nowadays. No human being deserves to be degraded to a "shut up and listen" ideological serf. You can be supportive of something while also remaining critical of certain unjust aspects. One does not exclude the other and I think that this "all or nothing" attitude is largely detrimental to the acceptance of LGBTQ minorities.
Making lesbian jokes does not imply that you hate queers. The unnuanced conflation of these differences and the ruthless misapplication of these "hate-speech" rules are causing great damage to the general acceptance of queer people. As if gays were unable to make the difference between a harmless joke and rhetorical discrimination.
In that regard, context matters and your unjustified ban is nothing to simply gloss over. The people who are here to defend your right to express yourself do not deserve to be insulted. You should be more worried about the social justice vultures that are circling above your head right now, lest you be declared persona non grata per social media decree.

Oh, it was actually about race? I thought maybe it was a pun about everything being the colour white or something.
Jesus, I never expected Sony to let racist shit in their games, but here were are, I guess
