Shit's no different than a religion or sporting event, people destroy each other over the dumbest shit.

Antiyonder 02/02/24 7:42:00 PM #54:	@STEROLIZER If nothing else, claiming apathy only to complain about not receiving consideration is such a politician thing to do from those trying to avoid politics. Plus it's like those who clarify disliking the far right as well as the far left.

KCJ5062 02/03/24 3:19:56 AM #60:	Eh I just don't like it when politics(both sides) somehow find their way into shows that are meant to be goofy and funny. Family Guy for instance. Sometime around the mid to late 00s, MacFarlane made it into a soapbox for his political views. That's why I stopped watching. Yes I am aware that MacFarlane doesn't write for the show anymore. I just wanted to say I watched Family Guy hoping to get some laughs. Not have politics shoved in my face. Also politics is one of those things that should be kept out of places such as a workplace as it's a pretty sensitive subject. When you're working with or around a bunch of other people, there's bound to be some that have different views. I've read about actors on TV shows and movies having animosity towards their co-stars or crew members because they have different views and are pretty outspoken about them. --- It's amazing how people hang around message boards of games they don't like <cite>KCJ5062 posted [p:978627248] in Do you car...

Have you considered that's impossible to not have politics in anything since literally everyone's lives are entirely dependent on politics? Everything you have or don't have is because of politics and that can all turn on a dime the moment the wrong politics take over. You literally cannot even leave your house and drive on a road without politics. Not caring about politics is basically saying you don't care about society.

Some message boards prohibit political discussions because 9 times out of 10 they lead to nothing but insults, threats, flaming and the like. I can definitely agree that we need to give ourselves time to unwind like anything of practical importance, just that sometimes you can't always avoid tension at the most inconvenient moments and letting any possible problems boil up can do just as much harm. And yeah, even then, positive change means having to be the buzzkill. I mean if a child can be scolded and punished for less problematic things than say bigotry, why should an adult guilty of such get leniency?
