Running List of Why The Show Is a Bad Game

Way to get us off topic again. You don't have free speech in Germany, so of course you're in favor of restricting what people can say and think. As long as I'm not making threats, yelling choice words in a movie theater or airplane, and following the code of conduct, I'm good to go!
What we're talking about is what's wrong with The Show. As you can see, others do agree with what I'm saying, just too many SDS fanboy clones trying to muddy up the waters with unrelated posts and get this thread locked.
…. You really have no clue … at all … but this was a well-formed application to my block list. Welcome there -

Welcome thereYou would have retained far more goodwill if you simply blocked his account, which is of course your right to do, without the public notice that you did so. In my view, that crossed its own line into personal insult. So, that sort of weakens any moral foundation you had to your own action, wouldn't you agree?

That's the playbook. Involve yourself in something, hear words you don't like, block people and/or run away. It's not like there were any lies told. You can be jailed for speech in Germany. While I may not agree with what people would have to say in order to be put into a German prison, I don't support the imprisonment of people saying words. That's a slippery slope, but hey... I'm on your block list, so you won't see this anyway lol. Being of German heritage, I loved Germany when I visited in the late 2000's. Witnessing German people become so soft since then has been really sad to see.

Unfortunately, people don't seem to want to acknowledge your presence which is beyond rude. Their focus is solely on me and getting this thread locked. -
@PriorFir4383355_XBL blocking someone and telling him is no insult
… So, no, I would not. There are ppl in forums that have to know when it is enough. -
Appreciate the heads up. Love me a nice, respectful exchange!

Cheers!

@Squid_Adams_PSN yet you still don’t understand free speech and that the US is not the only country who has it. Look to your president if you want to know what free speech suppression is.

Where are you from, @yankblan_PSN ? Didn't realize baseball was so popular outside of the U.S! Strange to be amongst so many who don't want freedom to speak, but I guess I also assumed the majority of people here would be from the U.S.

They track all the countries with free speech and the USA is ranked 9th in global ranking for support of free speech rights since 2021. So there are enough countries for the USA to be ranked 9th.

Assuming that's true, that should bother all U.S citizens. Likely a recent development over the last 10-20 years with political correctness taking hold of so many people. The fear to say the wrong thing, resulting in being silenced / having your life ruined is real. This is the kind of thing people need to fight against. It has a real "fall in line" feel to it.
I remember being younger and reading about South Park or Family Guy being banned in countries like Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and Jordan (not the actual list, but you can get the idea) and thinking about how crazy that level of censorship was. Fast forward to today and episodes of South Park have been removed from American streaming platforms, Comedy Central and even the South Park website. You either have to find some questionable streaming sites or have the physical DVDs. Same goes with episodes of Workaholics, among others I'm sure. The Office has been edited / had scenes removed. People should not be okay with that. It's perfectly cool if you don't want to indulge in shows like that, but that doesn't mean other people should be stripped of the option. The constitution guarantees us these rights, and unless you want to live in a repressive society and drop lower than 9th... I suggest you defend them whenever you can. That includes people saying things you may not like or agree with (a'la "The Show is a Bad Game")

Hi,
For the record, we have no problem with you all criticizing the game itself, as long as that does not devolve into personal attacks or result in the breaking of other forums rules.
I'm locking this thread because it has done those two things. Anyone who has actually read the forum rules will be able to pick out the issues here.
If similar threads are posted and they progress as this one has, they'll be locked too -- not because we're "silencing opinions", but because we expect the members of our forums to show respect for one another and follow the rules -- full stop.
If anyone has any questions or would like clarification on anything, feel free to DM me.
