You believe in a woman's right to choose, but you vote against it? Make that make sense.

Yeah, that's typically where the arguments come from. From someone saying they super duper care about the rights of *insert minority here* but they don't care THAT much over some other random thing they care more about that when you strip everything away and argue JUST that, republicans aren't better at either.

yeah their claimed personal opinions are invalidated by actively voting against said opinions, yet they want to be taken seriously.

I mean I don't want to fund Israel, and I think healthcare should be free, but I vote for people who contradict that. Okay that's not really the same thing though because my other option (that actually has any shot at winning) would just do the same lol
When theres 2 bad options, vote for the better one.

When one option is objectively racist and taking away rights and the other one is not, vote for the one thats not, obviously.

Again, assuming every person in America who belongs to that party fits neatly into the box you want to place them in, is in fact silly. Different people have different values. If you think all Republicans are the same, then I guess so are all Democrats. All exactly the same, with exactly the same viewpoints on every issue.
It doesn't matter what anyone's motives are for voting Republican.

The fact remains that voting Republican is voting for total pieces of shit like Trump, Congressional Republicans and the psychopaths running the GOP funding and propaganda operations to have more power, and it's an objective fact that these are all terrible people who do terrible things with any power they have.

Of course, what conservatives never want to admit in mixed company is that they are mostly voting Republican precisely to see others get oppressed.

Because the only other real agenda of Republicans, which is letting the filthy rich exploit everyone else more effectively, is not a vote-getter.

And conservative economic policies aren't even good unless you're rich! They lead to a lot of the social problems that further entrench the "culture war" issues that conservatives capitalize on that you seem to be against (or at least are hiding that you agree with). At best maybe they benefit people in short sighted ways, like gas prices (which have a nebulous connection to their policies at best anyway)
This. I'm still waiting to hear what "good policies" Republicans supposedly have on the economy.

Because I think GOP economic policy is real simple -- let the filthy rich fuck over everyone else. And it has been this way for at least a century.

People who come to GameFAQs looking for game guides and shit didn't end up here anyway so your point makes no sense at all. Also people on the game boards are not the same people who just show up to look up stuff, game board posters are usually long time posters so again your points really make no sense.

Not just that but the attitude, including the ones users are giving me.

If you're here to talk about Call of Duty gunskins or Overwatch 2 tactics, you don't really wanna see people talking about conservative economic policies or whatever else random argumentative stuff comes up.

Especially when that has nothing to do with the topic and there's an air of hostility.

That's why they don't like it.

Why would you come to a current events board to only talk about very specific game related things? Why wouldnt you talk about these things on the boards made for these games? I dont know what youre trying to argue here

Just take a look at your post and you'll see why people on the gaming boards don't like CE. it's so needlessly argumentative without even listening.

Again you're lying just to argue in a condescending way

This is the stuff people on game boards don't like. They like on topic discussions about video games from fans of said game in a friendly atmosphere.

I don't really understand why you're pretending not to grasp this.

If you're talking to me, I'm not taking issues with anything. I like CE.

But I suspect most of those same people who dislike CE probably dislike those weird hornyposting topics too.

And if someone asked "How do you beat level 18?" and then came back 2 hours later to see 4 people arguing about big asses in condescending ways. They would probably dislike that too.

But they're not what the game boards are known for.

I don't know how to explain it any more simply.

What part don't you understand?

People who come to talk about video games don't want to see hostile discussions of economic policies or abortion or Israel or religion or other controversial subject in the middle of their topics about who the best Mortal Kombat fighter is.

So they don't like CE since as this topic alone demonstrates. That's what tends to happen here. They see it as toxic.

I think I need to repeat that I read the topic title and then literally the first thing I saw was "And conservative economic policies" which has nothing to do with the topic.

And you're claiming you don't understand users who like to talk about video games are off put and don't want to come here.

This is not a video games board. Nobody whos ever posted here is under the impression that this board is solely about video games.

But you're the one with a "narrative" if you do.

Literally every response to me has been argumentative, adversial, ignoring what I said (sometimes flat out lying about what I said) accusing me of things, calling me a troll, implying I'm conservative (which is hilarious btw) and directly ignoring the topic title and OP.

You're used to it so you don't see it. That's standard on CE. That's not standard on the FFVII: Rebirth board.

I don't mind because I like the activity on CE. But the difference is obvious and this topic alone demosntrates it.

The whole notion of off-topic makes no sense for CE, especially for anything that sparks disagreement. Sure, someone posting about ancient Egyptian history would be off-topic, but nobody actually does that.

I agree and it doesn't bother me.

You are not listening and pretending I am bashing CE. Take a step back. This is what people mean by toxic or hostile or whatever buzzword. Not everything is a fight.

I was explaining why other users don't like it. Pointing out that the things they dislike are the norm and acceptable on CE is missing the point.

Seems to me you just want people to mindlessly agree with you. Any push back is seen as "Hostile, argumentative, adversial."
