If they banned discussion of Trump altogether, that would be fine. But to ban any support for Trump is a joke.

Who?

Why do VIDEO GAME sites allow political discussion at all outside of clearly labeled off-topic/political areas as it is?

After reading the reasons for the policy, I say this is reasonable.

They're free to do as they please but I feel like it sets a bad precedent.

I get the concern, but they must have had huge issues with Pro-Trump stuff for them to ban it.

I don't think anyone who recognizes my name questions my political leaning. Fuck Trump and fuck his disgusting following.

Now, that being said.

It's fine if a video game (or any other non-political) site bans political discussion of any variety. Political discussion these days very very quickly devolves in to mud slinging and harassment if it's not heavily and indiscriminately moderated.

What isn't fine is banning one side of the political discussion. If this ban just said "NO MORE POLITICS" then I wouldn't feel compelled to make this post. Just saying "FUCK TRUMP, IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP YOURE BANNED" only served to reinforce his base's stupid belief that they're fighting against the system.


They're not banning one side, conservatives can post their opinions, etc. etc. but things like racism and misogyny were already banned, andopenly supporting trump means that you support racism and misogyny. Remember Trumpism is not your average conservativism.

It's not impossible to filter between supporting Trump and racism/extremism, just extremely difficult.

Off the internet it's a little easier, but on the internet that's such a difficult game of spot-the-difference that it's not really worth the effort.

This really has little to do with Trump. The left basically though they had a permanent victory with Obama. They were saying shit like "there will never be another Republican president again". They had a taste of socilaism with ACA; seeing actual working people 's rates go up to pay for the unproductive members of society was pure bliss for them. But now it's comong undone. We rejected socialism. Someone like Romney could have won the election and left would still be going bonkers and hurling the same vile insults at him that they do at Trump.

Most Trump supporters are trolls anyway who just reply to get responses. I agree 100%

Romney wasn't pandering to the bad crowd.
