We're Canadians.. let's be kinder

Guys, I've been absolutely disgusted by some of the comments online about some of our bench players. You might be fans of the stars and not care as much for some players, but can we please not be rude?

It's starting to really bug me. I've seen it a few times now in the live threads as well for the games. If you don't like a player or how they play, you don't have to share it every single time they get on the court.

Taylor Lorenz, or why Leftists need to learn to identify radlibs

I'm making this post because a lot of people are surprised that Taylor Lorenz is currently going on an unhinged, racist crashout about masking in Palestine (I fucking wish I was joking). I just want to make a point that I think a lot of baby leftists, which I think Matt tends to attract (no disrespect, I was a baby once too) need to hear.

Regarding anyone who may or may not be anti-vaccine outside of the "developed" western nations:

its no different than indigenous people in canada or america not trusting the medical system because of the historical conditions around health care access, forced sterilization, etc. Even if any given palestinian person happened to be anti-covid vaccine, who fucking cares? Lock in on the real issues.

Taylor is a liberal, not a leftist, so she can't see that people's attitudes are being shaped by their material conditions. This is what I wish people would understand. Moralizing these struggles instead of addressing the more prescient conditions only works if your goal is to satisfy your own righteousness

edit: holy cow there are a lot of radlibs on here lol

I love this sub. It can be better.

This subreddit is full of vent posts (I have made quite a few myself!) and battlestation posts (I also like these!) and I love that we have them. I think the mods and the community have cultivated an overall pretty good community.

That being said, In my personal opinion, the subreddit could be organized in a way more conducive to actually gaming and talking about games, in my opinion.

One day out of the week, especially Fridays, having a single thread where you are allowed to actually try to make friends or play a game with people, is downright atrocious, in my view. It's completely antisocial in nature and allows most of the posts that actually get upvoted to be about discussing something negative about a game or gamers.

See a thread talking about a niche multiplayer game you want to find people to play with? Don't you dare ask, because that my dear is only on fridays. Don't worry, none of the people who are also looking will have time or remember to go to the friday megathread!

Frankly, I'd also rather have self promotion be less restricted as well. People are constantly asking for youtuber or streamer recommendations.. yet the girls who are trying to get established in those spaces are basically contained to a megathread nobody cares about. Why are we doing this?

My last little piece I want to mention is how it seems like the mods are afraid of sexist gamers coming in here and being combative if we point out something that's too controversial. I've had a thread deleted for pointing out that the steam community for example made jokes about beating women and it had thousands of upvotes.

I'm not recommending a specific solution because I'm just one person and I'm not a moderator who has access to all the information necessary to make a specific recommendation, but I do think this should be something open for discussion amongst the community.

What are everyone else's thoughts? am I alone in thinking this way? Please, let me know and share your opinions.

[TW: HOMOPHOBIA], TRANSPHOBIA] Video: The transphobia debuff in gaming

Hello,

This is not my video but it was on my recommended and really spoke to what it's like being a trans woman who plays video games, mainly multiplayer ones. I think cis women will be able to relate as well, so i wanted to share it.
