@horgen: I haven't seen anyone insult in this thread except maybe the people arguing in favor of censorship. Everyone opposing it has been very well behaved, even the guy who said he wasn't being respectful about it couldn't help but be polite.

Where's the flood of insults and lack of substance?

@ghost_of_phobos:

So you admit he isn't really sending his fans after people? As for whether he misrepresented the review, I'd like to see some citations before I judge that.

@wildstallion: Oh hey, we share part of our name. You're welcome.

@horgen: I've met a lot of annoying people when making my points too, but I don't censor or block them even when I have the power.

I don't disable my ability to hear those who actually bring substance to the table.

What difference in experience explains that?

@horgen: It kinds speaks to the root issue when you can't see opposing arguments as anything but personal attacks.

Do you see all republicans in the worst possible light or something?

Thank you all for coming btw, it's an honor to have my thread chosen as a place to house this interesting controversy.

@ghost_of_phobos:It wasn't just the nazis demonizing jews, they polarized the people around them to hate them too, which is why they were able to make jews wear yellow badges and all that stuff so easily. It seemed more reasonable to the warped perspectives of the people around them.

Also the quartering always seems to say don't go after this person, I don't support that kind of thing. If you're going to ignore that, then your claim seems invalid without more evidence.

Yes. I don't like censorship and I've never been for it since as long as I can remember.

@Random_Matt: Hmm.

I think cancel culture has definitely become part of a fascist-esque movement to demonize and silence right-wing and even fence-sitting voices. Whenever I talk to the people in favor of it, they seem mentally unstable and unable to process my (personally I think they're reasonable) thoughts and feelings in a civil manner without smashing the block button. It's like an entire movement desperately yelling "It's my way or the highway."

I was also a bit sad that gamespot allowed Mason Downey's article to lack a comment section when she could just not look at it. That seems rather antisocial to me, especially when most other articles here offer comment sections.

I honestly respect gamespot a bit for having a fully fleshed out comment and forum system, but this is unfortunate in my view. I was honestly pretty excited to get down and dirty with the free expression of ideas.
