RODEN'S PROFILE

To offer a second opinion, I have heard that Deponia contains a significant amount of transphobic stuff, and Valhalla is basically just an anime waifu simulator so... Yeah. Might not be the best stuff to support.

This is just what I've heard though. I have never played either of them, but I trust the opinions of the people I heard it from enough to steer clear.

Honestly, though? We're more civil talking about current political events than we are talking about FF7's plot.

I'll be honest, its a lot more refreshing seeing arguments about final fantasy sometimes, no matter how much more heated they get

When I talk about outlawing pro-fascist/racist behaviour I am pretty much directly talking about the ideologies and actions that have led to things like this happening:

Like. It shouldn't be a controversy to say that armed terrorists that can overpower the cops patrolling and guarding white nationalist rallies and protests with military gear and assault rifles should have been locked up a long time ago, before they go to where they are.

It's monstrous that this is allowed to happen under the false guise of "free speech", which has always been a fucking dogwhistle at best. How long before there's a mass shooting at one of these protests by the fucking heavily armed militants that are hanging around there?

All this, while pro-water rights (& peaceful) protests are met with swat teams, tear gas, water cannons and army vehicles while the white nationalist armed forces are met with looking the other way and quiet acceptance from the government and the police force because they need their "free speech" protected.

My fucking ass.

And I mean, yeah, you're right, education is important. But when things get to the point where the ideologies in question are taking over and/or surpassing the government some "censorship" and legislation really doesn't hurt.

That's nonsense! The death of a person is far more significant than the death of an idea, especially when that idea entails the view that murder and genocide are good things. Nobody can stop you from thinking whatever you want, but banning people from publicly encouraging others to do evil is in no way even remotely as bad as letting those ideas spread and be turned into actions unhindered.

If someone wants to promote the view that hurting and killing others is a positive course of action, then why would you want to defend that? There are only very few things that are more important and valuable than free speech, but people's very lives and safety from harm, violence and discrimination are some of those things.

I can't believe the mean old dystopia of Germany wants to ban the promoting of the ideology that caused this to happen

In fact, Germany is making such a stand to erase their history that anyone caught throwing up the Nazi salute even in jest gets jail time/a massive fine.

Yeah. Making it illegal to be a Nazi is a good law, imo. Should be put in place elsewhere.

Less "erasing history" and more "ensuring it can't be repeated" (in Germany), though.
