A community for progressive issues, social justice and LGBT+ causes in media, gaming, entertainment and tech.

Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi

Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

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.

Article by 404 Media: The mod repository Nexus Mods removed a mod that allowed bigots to circumvent pronoun selection in the character creator of "Starfield". The bigots then pretended to be very outraged.

They are removing diversity by excluding people in their inclusiveness. Now I think the mods are fucking stupid since its not a big deal just pick one and be done with it. But I do think the mod should be allowed to exist

It can exist. Nexus mods don't owe bigots server bandwidth to host a bigots mod though

Inclusiveness is not a binary choice (include everyone or no one), it's a contract. If you break that contract by excluding others, you shouldn't (and won't) be included.

If I invite 10 friends and one of them starts spouting racist and sexist things against the other 9, the inclusive option is not to let them stay.

Perhaps you have a point I never considered. Still I do want to let as many as possible join and if someone dont like them they can just ignore them
