      Staying on topic is not censorship. What does he have to do with gaming?

      (Besides the fact only the government can take away freedom of speech)

        Oh man, before I left Reddit ALL of GCJ was politics. I agree with almost all of it but it was SO fucking annoying anyway. I just wanted some “this is what game design is annoying when this” and got something I would absolutely go to another sub for.

          That’s ALL of Reddit. Go to soccercirclejerk? It’s thinly linking anything in football to American politics. Go to pics? It’s pictures of American politics. Go to whoadude? It’s videos of Americans being political in impressive ways.

          Everywhere you go, the American politics are unavoidable. And I’m not American, and I already know that country is almost entering a civil war, and I don’t want that to be the only thing I see all day and night.

            Ahhh thank you. The only other CJ sub I went to before I left was TAZcirclejerk and it didn’t delve much into politics, just how annoying and flanderized a podcast series became hahaha

        Maybe theyre posting they want him as a mission in the next sniper elite? It would still break the rules tho and give g*mers ammo to ban the sub, bad idea

        Staying on topic is different than “don’t talk about it so they don’t shut us down”

        1. Could you summarize the purpose of that sub for me? 2. The suspect was clearly a gamer who made Helldivers 2 references on one of the bullet casings.

        Not being able to talk about it because your speech forum will be destroyed is exactly freedom of speech.

          What about the forums right to free speech by deciding what they want to publish? Not a single person owes you the right to say what you want. You only have the right (at time of writing) to not be prosecuted for what you say under most circumstances.

            Who said anything about rights? I am not free to speak about that shitstain person on that shitstain website? Is that not limiting the freedom of my speech?

                  Freedom of speech is specifically a right.

                  You being willfully ignorant doesn’t change anything, other than people’s opinions about you.

                    I’m baffled as to why you’re being so inflammatory about me pointing out that we do NOT have the freedom to say what we wish on the gamingcirclejerk subreddit.

              No, you’re not free to say anything anywhere. Are you under any obligation to allow me to enter your home and say anything I want with no repercussion? Show me where it says you have freedom to say anything anywhere under any circumstance. I’ll wait.

              Also, if you don’t understand that “freedom of speech” is quite literally the definition of “right to free speech” you should stop typing and start reading.
