Authenticity is a point that often comes up in regards to features like this, and rightly so. As such I’ll try to peel the curtain back a bit and speak to our efforts in making sure we got this right. Many members of the team, myself included, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. That said, each one of us on the team represents only a narrow slice of lived experiences. As such we’ve worked extensively with GLAAD and the It Gets Better Project to ensure that we’ve captured the widest possible range of viewpoints on how to approach this feature in a manner that respects and elevates the community.

Only two people got their posts removed. Amazeballs considering the non-controversial subject.
This wasn't quite the popcorn-destroyer I was expecting, but there was a little excitement I guess.

The irony here is, it is Blue who showed intolerance towards a harmless comment which was not an attack on a single individual (unless someone on this site does identify as a typewriter, in which case I wasn't referring to you personally). I'm not intolerant nor said anything as such
Bro you talked about killing all the Black sims in your neighborhood.

I knew my comment would be withdrawn, figured a lack of sense of humour or being a bit of the conforming PC narrative of the site.
But I do find it a bit bias to broadcast gaming news specifically about sexualities and provide a comments section, allowing us to comment and low and behold sock horror...the comments must only be PRO of this LGBTQIA+ social reprogramming.
So you intentionally broke the rules to get your post removed so you could get mad about being silenced? You expect people to take you seriously and not treat you like a child lost in a world they don't understand?
So now that you have admitted you aren't here to have a serious discussion, what would you like to add? Poop emoji?

I'm ignoring nobody. Zeroooo. I find it an extremely silly thing to do.
But we expect that. Add me to the ignore list and everything will be solved.

You are welcome to comment, but it must be THIS comment, or else you're considered intolerant.

I'm not intolerant nor said anything as such...Guess this is what happens when you prevent people from talking about things, people get scared about shit they don't understand and just try to silence it instead of confronting it.
