Current Events > When did gamefaqs...get so liberal?

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is embarassing.

---

gamefaqs was always liberal

politics just took a backseat before the hyperpoliticization of the news cycle over the past five years pushed it front and center

---

hate just snowballs

Liberal? What are you talking about? It's pretty straightforward really: you're either a Trumper, or you're, you know, normal.

---

Probably around the time Trump announced his presidency

Anything left of conservative is basically liberal these days

And gamefaqs has always been more left than right because most people here are less ignorant than your average boomer that was just spoonfed politics by their parents

It didn't

Republicans just went insane and so everything not insane became "liberal "

"both sides" Rhetoric is dumb

Being stabbed in the throat and pinched on the arm are both bad things but not comparable

How to make liberals' heads explode:

1. State that both sides are not equally bad with regard to the USA's two main parties (whether you believe it or not) - they'll agree;
2. State that the same is true when it comes to Christianity vs. Islam, with Islam being obviously and verifiably worse in every conceivable way;
3. Enjoy watching them go into a frenzy and do all sorts of mental gymnastics regarding this (when we all know the real reason they're so quick to defend Islam).

Only the crazies defend the religion of Islam to death. Most liberals and leftists just think we shouldn't treat people like shit just because they're Muslim.

And people who pull the "both sides" crap are completely ignorant or just trolling.

This is the Internet. You don't ever have to concede.

Not sure why you need to pretend it's this and not because of things like the maga board and that the right wing trolls are just allowed to spew their shit constantly with only minor consequences.

So what TC is saying is that this place is full of pedophiles?

Felt the need to respond twice, eh? I didn't say "libs are pure driven snow", I said "Republicans are so beyond fucked, you have to notice the difference"

Thats because all the progressives on this site think that anyone that disagrees with them is a Trump supporting nazi.

It is one of the things that annoyed me on here lately, liberals act like they're the epitome of society on par with God himself when they fail to realize they have lunatics on their side just as much as Republicans have lunatics.

And every time someone puts out a issue they get slammed for it.

I never had issues with Liberals in the past, but the ones on here can be hard to deal with as they can be incredibly hostile/toxic and make-up scenarios in their head about you.

Their zealot-like behavior has clouded their judgment and has ruined discourse to the point its better to block the person than be caught in their toxic web.

That response is a total non sequitur. He wasn't talking about what people here think, he was talking about what people on other sites say.

I guess this type of reading comprehension is how you end up a Trump supporting Nazi.

Yeah the leftists that want equality socially and economically are just as bad as the nazis.

Did you unironically just talk about people making up scenarios in their head right after writing that first sentencing characterizing liberals?

Its been consistent on here, and especially 261.

Every time someone tries to bring up a issue they get labeled with whatever flavor of the day and completely ruin the conversation.

Point made; does it looks like I'm talking about good liberals? No I'm not.

I'm talking about ones that go overboard and make up shit about others.

You all need to stop this political wing worship because Leftists have issues just as much as the right does, and its always deflect and distract when something gets pointed out.

And I'm going to make this real clear for you and everyone else to understand.

NOBODY IS TAKING ISSUE WITH THE GOOD THINGS YOU'RE CHAMPIONING, BUT DON'T IGNORE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR POLITICAL SPHERE THAT ARE CAUSING NEGATIVE SHIT.

Its almost like other people would get an impression of this site from people that post here and other message boards. Was that really so hard to figure out?

I voted Jen Bush in the primaries. Now I am switching to the Green Party. Because if were going to spend ourselves into oblivion it might as well be spent on trees.

Nazis are left wing, it's right in the name. National Socialists. Plus the left trying to cancel any opinion that differs from their own doesn't throw the scent off the fascist trail.

Thanks for exposing yourself as a complete joke.

Nobody here is a Nazi, lets not go there.

Any actual Neo-Nazi on here are actually very rare. Most times they don't hide it just to add, their egos won't let them hide it.

It was fairly even before 2003 or until we went after Saddam.

WoT became a warzone at that time.

Sure conservatives are actively trying to subvert the results of a legal presidential election, but do liberals have to be so annoying?

---

TC waited for a lot of bites and even some agreement before playing his hand. He's Warned now.

---

When the outbreak of TDS started. Patient Zero was probably from gamefaqs.

---

What's "Liberal" to you, TC?

People wanting rights for women, African Americans, and LBGTQ+, and not be treated like second class citizens?

Give examples of what you don't agree with.

The world is liberal, the few people who control everything are not

Back then though people were not that politically crazed until recently, what I'm seeing and observed these days on here is just plain out bad on almost every level.

Like for example if you dare point out a cause for concern about somebody's favorite political figure that you're going to have a bad time, and get ganged up on harshly. That is not how conversations work, and more akin to mob mentality.

Everybody should be held to the same standard depsite the political affiliation, its only when said political figure gets exposed so hard then suddenly everyone changes their tune and honestly that is really REALLY annoying, and that is just one rinse-and-repeat I've noticed.
