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
I thought it being officially read on a conference is pretty good source that it was real. Did they fabricate it? Can you link an amofficial retraction?
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?
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.
Freedom of speech, ladies and gentleman
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)

Staying on topic is different than “don’t talk about it so they don’t shut us down”
I agree but who’s going to shut a lemmy instance down?
Exactly. This public forum is insulated from such threats. That one is not.
From what threats?
Are you misunderstandings about basic rights in the room with us now?
Oh shit. They’re in the room and all over this post!
The threat of censorship in public spaces?
Remind us all what you think freedom of speech is.
Don’t be shy. Did you learn anything today?
I believe freedom of speech is the ability to say what I wish about whomever in public spaces.
fauxmoi
no one here knows what the fuck that means
Lol I know!
The bullet casting nonsense has been retracted. The shooter never left any messages on the casing.
That was all an obvious lie, they got the idea from who ever killed the CEO last year.
I thought it being officially read on a conference is pretty good source that it was real. Did they fabricate it? Can you link an amofficial retraction?
From this government?
It’s not the governments that would retract it, it would be the detectives working on it
Misunderstanding freedom of speech, ladies and gentlemen.
Not being able to talk about it because your speech forum will be destroyed is exactly freedom of speech.

You did, only a couple hours ago:
? I don’t see anything about rights in my statement.
Freedom of speech is specifically a right.
You being willfully ignorant doesn’t change anything, other than people’s opinions about you.

You sound like a paragon of reading.
You have a vast misunderstanding of what freedom of speech is.
That is exactly not what freedom of speech is.
Freedom of speech is not the ability to speak in public?
No it is not.
Freedom of Speech is the right to talk negatively about your government without repercussions.
Lemmy is not your government.
I think you all need to think long and hard about our public spaces and who is moderating them.
I think you need to read a dictionary. For a long time.
