    Ever looked at an advert? Bought a computer? Eaten food produced by a multinational chain like Nestlé? Almost every action you take will involve generating money for an absolute shit. It’s fine (even encouraged) to let people who might not know that Rowing is a horrible bigot, but don’t have a go at someone for enjoying a fucking video game.

            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.

              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?

                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.

            Not sure how you managed to extrapolate all that from my comment but your heart seems in the right place even if you can’t read

              This arguments won’t go anywhere, except a flame war.

              So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.

                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.

        How? There are no good corporations. We are all enablers. There is no conscious consumption under capitalism.
