Oct 5, 2015 10:37:17 GMT -6 via mobile Post by Deleted on Oct 5, 2015 10:37:17 GMT -6 I was on another gaming forum for an MMO when a player asked whether there was any homosexual characters in the lore and proceeded to explain that he wanted to know how sexuality was handled in the game for roleplaying reasons. I saw it as a legitimate lore question but waves of people started freaking out at him with comments that he shouldn't "push his political views on the game" and about how "people wouldn't mind homosexuality if they didn't keep calling attention to it" alongside claims that he was just a SJW. The poster was quite confused (understandably so) since he never actually made any opinion as to whether or not it should be in the game, but most didn't seem to care. It's as if the mere mention of the word sets people off and all context gets ignored afterwords. I don't get it.

Thus normal people react angrily to oppression in the face of such discrimination, as special interest groups laud their special snowflake privilege over the unwashed mass of plebeans.

Indeed, cannibalism of the dead is a cherished custom in Scotland. When a Scottish boy's coming of age is celebrated (a ceremony known as the Scot Mitzvah) he is forced to consume his own great-grandfather, bones and all, in just 24 hours, or else the local Shaman will hit him on the head with a magical stick that stops him from ever becoming an adult.

Apparently I didn't make this ridiculous enough. I now have a warning for homophobia. So here we go. Gays are actually aliens which are coming to take over the earth, by mind controlling people through games, hence people react aggressively, if the x files taught us anything it's that the government is trying to cover it up. Hence the move to legalise gay marriage. That obvious enough for you Liam? I still expect the warning rescinded. Doesn't have quite the nuance of satire, but it apparently has to be made cripplingly obvious.

If he's asking about the sexuality of it he clearly know nothing or next to nothing about it. I can see how people would react in a negative manner to this particular situation because they may think that there will be lore added for purely social justice reasons. I can also understand where the asker is coming from as well... If only they started with basic questions and then lead into that one so they seemed genuinely interested, rather than a possible SJW.

There's nothing wrong with that. Why waste time learning about the general lore of a game if it doesn't have what they're looking for? So why shouldn't they cut straight to the point? That doesn't make them a "SJW." Which again is a meaningless garbage term.

Doesn't necessarily make him a SJW/Leftist, but certainly one with dubious priorities.

By the sounds of how Isichar describes the situation I don't think the OP in this case was an SJW pushing an agenda, but I can't blame people for being on-edge or wary when someone brings up a political or social subject on a videogame forum. Personally I'm getting pretty fucking tired of SJWs trying to shit up my games and safe-spaces.

That doesn't make them a "SJW." Which again is a meaningless garbage term. If they are planning to be involved in it, I just think they should know a thing or two about it is all I was saying regarding the lore topic. It would also be a good way to segway into the topic he wanted to know to begin with. As for the SJW thing, I never called the person a SJW. I just stated that others might misinterpret them as one depending on word use and phrasing. With how weird internet culture can be in both spectrums, I could see why the lashout happened.

I consider the places where I like to hang out and where I can legit be myself, places where I "belong", to be my "safe-spaces" for the lack of a better word. For the longest time, the gaming subculture has been one of those safe-spaces, until the SJWs came in and started fucking it up. Same thing is happening to the heavy metal subculture, another of my safe-spaces, invaded by SJWs who are trying to turn metal and the metal subculture into a politically correct version of itself (which is completely fundamentally anti-metal). It's happening to this forum now too, or so it seems.
