I didn’t read the articles, and don’t care about how they frame the issue. This is for the guy who asked what I was talking about.

So you... posted articles you didn't read in support of yourself, but you won't defend them?

Why would anyone listen to game engine devs on political matters?

(Quick edit because I can't believe I have to say this: If you think people saying other people are allowed to be gay is 'political' you seriously, seriously need to reevaluate your beliefs.)

I don't know, why are you whiny babies talking about it? Look at the topic of this fucking post. It's about a Microsoft app that's malware.

Yet.. what's this? The people whining about people being helped brought it up, unwarranted, and inserted into discussion. So my answer is to ask your self.

instead of pandering

Seriously do you guys read what you're writing after you write it? Is there no moment of introspection where you go "Huh, so they're helping a minority group that is currently being attacked by powerful members of our society... by being inclusive. I wonder if that is a net good, and that helping people under attack is a sign of strength and not 'pandering'?" or do you skip to "People I don't like are openly accepted by others, and their acceptance is abhorrent to my backing of their" (checks notes) "video game engine. I must rage at this horrible injustice!"

The sheer volume of queer people who've made the games you play would cause you to froth at the mouth. Those same queer people can't even be out anymore without being shot at a gay bar by some fanatic, or walk down the street and not get assaulted. The humanitarian actions of a company that accepts donations is not reliant on checking with each backer to ask if they're okay helping people. Fuck them if they aren't.

I think you should take a look in the mirror and think, really think, about if a company helping people is in any way abhorrent to you, and what that says about you. Because I know that you know someone impacted by the opposite of that help, and you know their lives improve every time someone who isn't queer, or a visible minority, or a woman, steps out and says "No, fuck this, we're helping these people."

You can be that person.

Lol, "excessive pandering to LGBT..."

Brave little CIS boi standing up to Big Gay, what a fucking hero.

We've already lost that battle sadly. Alberta has Smith (think Marjorie Taylor Greene), the Cons, while refusing to admit climate change is real, and with a leader who spent his entire political career trying to repeal abortion rights/gay rights, have locked away the vote of men with 51%+.

In 2022, 41% of Con voters supported Trump. In 2024, it's increased to 44% (higher than Biden or Harris in both, though.)

In addition, the Canadian Right-Wing's favourite Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, heads up a global 'get Right-Wing governments elected' organization.

So I wish you the best of luck as well, though I fear we are on similar Germany-in-the-1930's path).

Help the women and LGBT people in your life, they're going to need it.

I hate to say it but the NDP need to replace Singh with someone more charismatic.

Right now conservatives feel like the only other option because there’s also enough racists to not to vote for Singh.

Let's be blunt, the last part is why Singh has to be replaced. This guy got us fucking dental care added to our universal healthcare and people fucking shrugged at it. Rural voters won't vote him, that's the 'issue' with him in charge.

So the NDP will be forced to pick a white guy to lead and then they can start wrestling away voters from the Lib and Cons. It sucks, but I guess that's what Canada has decided it is.

EDIT:

Just to be clear, these are who Canadian voters preferred to win the presidency in the US:

Those Con numbers are bleak.

Over 51% of men are voting for Poilivre in the next election. That's across all age groups. We're where we usually are: 5-10 years behind something the US is doing.

What? I feel like you need to explain this more.

I was talking about the era in the 1960s when Britain shrank substantially by giving up so many overseas territories.

Awkward Canadian history here, but that time period is when our colonialism was anything but fading.

Cool strawman, that isn't why they did it, or relevant.

TIL activists have to achieve their goals in a single act.

Oh wow, I just checked and mine turned 21 today! 🎊

Jesus Christ my steam account is old enough to drink in the US.

Ok boomer

I'm not saying people can't be reformed, clearly they can, no argument there.

My point is that Naziism itself, or basically any authoritarian/fascist-esque government, has never been stopped without violence. In fact it's so rare that one of the only times it happened we named it the Velvet Revolution and it required the collapse of the entire Soviet Union to prompt it.

(The rest of this is about the US, but can apply elsewhere. I'm going to use American examples due to the subject of this post, but it does apply virtually everywhere now.)

This is systemic at this point; the president of the United States is a fascist. The government will now be fascist. And as much as I like the idea of reforming each individual person, how exactly do you think that is going to play out in the US as it is today? The left in the US is extremely shy and pre-defeated. They don't demonstrate in huge numbers, they don't come together, they don't reach out to other groups on a national scale and defend each other. Hell, members of the DNC immediately blamed 'woke politics' for their loss, and are completely out of touch with reality. Women/2SLGBTQ+/minorities of any kind now have no official party that fully backs them. So the idea we're going to get a handful of LARPing dickless Nazi fanbois to change their tune and have that be the feel good story just won't cut it anymore.

I'm not saying people have to go commit random acts of violence. I'm saying that the government has been co-opted. There's no legal system to rely on any more. Women are going to need fucking Green Books for going from state-to-state. People in the US have already collectively shrugged when a school or gay club are shot up, imagine what they'll be like now with Trump and his cronies in charge with the full Project 2025 narrative.

What I am saying is, in the time it would take you to reform these people 20 times their number will be created. If you're a woman, LGBT, a minority, you need to come together and decide how you're going to survive this. Is it make no noise, wait it out, hope staying hidden helps? Or is it get out there in numbers and challenge authority? What do you do with people in your community who are 'traitors' and tell those Nazi's where to find the black woman hiding, the boy who came out to his parents and was chased out of the house with violence?

Those men standing there, waving Nazi fucking flags weren't stopped. They weren't arrested, they weren't fined, the legal system thinks that waving the flag of a belief system that says only certain kind of humans should be allowed to live is okay, because they 'deserve' the freedom to do so, but women don't have the freedom to control their bodies. That's the system the US is now.

Good luck reforming them, I wish you the best, and I'm so sad at what is about to happen down there.

If you are from the US, need to flee, and are in the PNW, please DM me. I'll do what I can to help you.

I teared up a bit reading your comment, I'm so sorry you all go through this, and continue to go through this.

The worst part is a lot of the men saying this shit, even here in this thread, consider themselves 'Leftist'. They know it's the wealthy causing fighting amongst the poors to distract, and yet still these men fall for it. They think there's some 'women's agenda' coming for them and never once look back and think to themselves 'wow, thank god they want equality and not revenge.'

If you have examples of Nazi's being beaten without political/other violence, I'd love to hear them.

The only examples I have of fighting Nazi's are my grandfather travelling across the world from 39-45 killing them, and my grandmother hiding/getting Jewish people out of Holland while occasionally killing a Nazi in an alley. She went to a camp, but survived.

So again, would love these examples.

Why does it have to come to this every time?

I don't know, why do men require people to use extra words not to hurt their feelings?

“Young men expect sex, but they also want us to not be able to have access to abortion,” Thomas told The Post. “They can’t have both. Young women don’t want to be intimate with men who don’t fight for women’s rights; it’s showing they don’t respect us.”

See, they even included parts like that, and still people are here whining about it.
