No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

What's confusing is that these people always seem to think that if a man enters a woman's bathroom that some perverted shit is gonna happen. Wouldn't that same logic extend to lesbians? Bisexuals would need their own bathrooms. Seems like the problem is rapists, not people trying to pee.
There was a gay bathroom panic in the 90s
Which was partially the result of demonizing the result of sodomy laws and society villianizing gay people which resulted in a culture of hooking up in public bathrooms where there was some kind of privacy. That was used along with the myth that gay men are also pedos to create the gay bathroom panic.
Which was then used as the reason to drastically reduce the number of public Dept of transportation restrooms.
Always about the gd money
Calling yourself a trans is a tried and true legal defence against being prosecuted for rape.
No, it’s not.
I wanted to let you know that your username got me good. I read the first comment and was like that has to be a troll, read your name instead of his and was like, yeah that's a troll. Then right when I about closed the comment I saw what I saw "No, it's not". And to my surprise, Satan's maggoty cum fart is the voice of reason haha.
Are you fucking stupid? In what world is that a defense for rape?
Pretty sure they’re being sarcastic
Happens all the time in Britain.
You really, really missed adding the /s to that one, friend.
