Just got kicked out of the discord for Helldivers 2 over LGBT comment.

[CaliburxZero]

So someone started posting all the "dirt" on the LGBT stance of the devs, and I got kicked out because I questioned why this group of people need their flag everywhere and why should they get a flag put on as capes where nobody else will? The moment I posted that shortly after I was kicked out of the discord.

Not gonna lie, this censorship and LACK of democracy is getting old.

EDIT PS: The point I had tried to make as I have on reddit, is that if you give the cape to them you MUST give it to EVERYONE or NOBODY at ALL. Fair is fair. If I'm made to put up with seeing it, at least be FAIR to the other groups of people that are "underrepresented".
Either way, I'm sick of Politics of the left in everything. Just leave me alone and let me play my game and tune out from world crap.

Oh and as a final message to those who support this censorship to protect your fragile ideology to this I say one simple thing: Seethe more, and your hatred of DIVERSITY of THOUGHT only brings more awareness to the way you people think and act.

You aren't being censored. A privately owned company is not allowing you to spread your hate speech in their area or game, that is allowed. The government isn't stopping you from being a bigot.

How to tell you was never exposed to hate without saying you was never exposed to hate.
Mate if you call the statement of the OP hate, you for sure never ever encounter real hate. You can call yourself lucky but don't pretend to be the big bluff with no knowledge about the real ruff world outside your room. It is so often these days guys and lady’s if you never experienced hate and or violence it does not make you boring and you don’t have to see and make up everywhere hate and violence. You will still not get in to the “cool” kid’s club exactly like the kids that just act cool.

The problem here is that the LGBT community is trying to force their views on everyone. People who might already be LGBT supporters, people who couldn't care either way, and people who are actual bigots. The issue with doing this is that you're creating the very push back you whine and cry about. You're accusing people of being bigots and of being hateful when the reality is they most likely are not.

However. Now that you're ruining things for people who otherwise had no bias either way, they are becoming bias....against you. It's actually quite comical.

The only thing these discord mod types are doing is adding fuel to the fire. It's a shame really. You're turning people against you, for what?

How weak minded do you have to be to completely abandon your morality because someone asked for representation in a video game?

If asking for a flag in a game (and not even getting it, mind you) is "ruining things" for you, you were never an ally. This whole fantasy that right wingers concoct where they were once allies, but just saw one rainbow flag too many and now are lining up to join their local proud boy chapter.

No one believes this fiction, you realize that right? Not a single person in the world believes your make believe walkaway nonsense.

A simple search on their official discord reveals they do in fact have a political stance that they are pushing. Its not hard to figure out. They could at least be transparent about it.

NO POLITICS! ONLY DEMOCRACY! DISSIDENTS WILL BE MOVED TO RE-EDUCATION CAMPS UNTIL FREEDOM IS IMPOSED INTO EVERY FIBER OF THEIR BEING!

And they don't get any sandwiches.

Imagine denying someone the ability to change what the game says your pronoun is because your think it will benefit the LGBT community the most.

Here is my take. If a company wants to inject politics then you have to allow all political discussion. I did not buy Helldivers 2 to hear about politics. I bought Helldivers 2 to enjoy a game.

Now on the other hand, if a company wants to support a cause, then support many. Do not do it for the money. Have fashion in the game that does not take away from the originality of Helldivers 2. I don't want to see this turn into fortnight or apex, color wise. All money should be donated that is raised in the certain time frame.

I think it would be rather easy to have a cape or certain colors on equipment or whatever could be thought of by the Devs that people could buy, knowing their money is going to a good cause.

My dude, the game's politics are on full-blast if you have even a micro-angstrom of media literacy.

Discord is like a real-time Reddit.
Just don't ever go there.

Democracy is the power of the majority, not of a screaming minority.

Well, Helldivers 2 is a heavily political game, which is evident from the moment you launch it, so you clearly bought the wrong game.

Sorry to let you know.

You know, I remember when there was a time that games were meant to be fun and not focus on controversies or take anything serious.

Such a shame that time has ended.

Games are still about that. You essentially just have to ignore steam forums and all of this "controversy" disappears because it's not a real controversy. It's internet chud ♥♥♥♥ and Steam allows it, so they all flock here to do this 43 times a day on every single steam forum of any popularity.

Protip: The people inserting this topic into Steam forums so often isn't the LGBT people. It's a group trying to make you angry at a minority group. Ask yourself who would do that and what their goals might be and then view these threads accordingly; as propaganda and recruiting ground for young idiots that don't know their heads from their asses yet.

I would totally rock a BLT cape.

But I would actually rather have BLT sandvich.

Give us an option to replace stims with the almighty Sandvich.
