Na mate, I don't need to prove myself to you and you don't get to tell me what I need to do to qualify my presence here. I'm not huge on video game talk, and I'm slowly starting to involve myself in OT threads. The reason most of my posts are here is because there's a conversation happening and it's active.
I mean you can't really force someone to reply in threads they don't want to participate in,
He commented on the tweets posted in the OP and was banned for "derailment".

User Banned (2 Days): Inflammatory thread derailment

Agreed, even just the topic of Trump. Very diverse viewpoints. On one extreme, you have those who believe Trump is almost as bad as Hitler. In the moderate middle you have those who think he is literally Hitler. Then on the other extreme, those who believe he's worse than Hitler.
Truth. Hard to be TOO surprised at some of the extreme sentiment, when you have mainstream outlets publishing in depth think pieces on why it like so so totally isn't that unreasonable to equate Trump to Hitler like for serious. (Okay that maaaay be a slight exaggeration but sadly not by much.)
Well that's certainly one way to look at all that stuff lol
A Resetera mod weighs in on the Star Citizen race casting. Do we expect words of wisdom or more fear mongering over the scary idea of white people being in video games?
Spoiler: It's more fearmongering over whites.

There are already so many games that feature non-white characters now a days, but according to Resetera, it's still unfortunate when White people are being depicted by themselves. Literally force diversity wherever white people are, even if it has nothing to do with gameplay.
And before anyone asks, I wouldn't care if a game went all black, all Asian, or all mulatto with its characters. The point of capitalism is to support the products you want with your dollars. If there is no game that meets that quota, the free market says there will be a developer who is meant to profit off such vacuum. But that's assuming the demand for all these "DIVERSITY FIRST" games actually exists rather than people just bitching for the sake of bitching.

Au contraire, as this is how staff (Slayven) views the real world regarding how Token from South Park is appropiately called as such since he is the only black character in the series, (Thus a Token character), out of all things:
This really makes me wannaStaff not getting satire said:
But this is a leap in logic, Arkage, and I speak as one of the conservatives who posted a lot in that thread.
I mean being lenient on users behaviors only goes so far, before they gotta be punished lol
''Punished''
I'll admit I can be guilty of it at times. Though I will say 95% of my 'infractions' in this area are toward one particular user. This one user stands far head and shoulders above the rest in terms of sheer volume of bad faith, dishonest, and disingenuous posting. I think he gets away with it because he is somewhat polite and non-confrontational about it. It's entirely possible he has me on ignore now since he stopped responding to me; I will likewise try not to engage. There are numerous examples of 'good' left wingers posting their opinions around here so I'll try to ignore the one bad apple moving forward, and not drive any sense of general hostility.
Elevating the conversation takes many arms to lift, so I appreciate level-headed posters such as yourself even though we mismatch on certain opinions.
Absolutely agree. I'm all for this. With the caveat of the above.
Mate.
