Most got suspended or left to their reddit safe-space after being "attacked" here by the mods for voicing their conservative "opinions". Not the lower taxes, smaller government ones (neither of which todays GOP actually do) but the other views that they won't actually state and just skirt around when pressed on why they actually got a moderation.

You cant even be a centrist here. For the left, its always been, 'you're either with me, or you're against me.'

Example like if I dont care about apples. I would get lamblasted by the apple guys and say that im orange when i dont care about either. And that im a -phobe or an -ist against apples.

Got an actual example? I mean, almost every "centrist" I've seen post on gfaqs is always attacking the left and defending the right.

Yeah not here on CE but the amount of times I've been called homophobic because my views didn't align perfectly with theirs is insane. And I'm a part of the LGBT.

Biggest one I remember is someone saying street fighter NEEDED a gay character and I said they really didn't. Most of the casts sexuality is unknown. Ken and guile we know are married but it's part of their story.

Really even can't pin down Vegas sexuality yeah he makes more comments towards the women but he has commented on a guy before. Guile I think bitching his moves where beautiful but shame he was ugly

That said it would be nice but it's not necessary for the game to be any good. I'd honestly be afraid Capcom would make a walking stereotype cause a lot of characters are stereotypes to a degree

You what mate? CE is very pro-Palestine. The few defending the Israeli government mostly got suspended for one reason or another.

Have another try at finding a reasonable position that is not tolerated here.

I am republican (as in I agree with the republicans the most. There are a few things that I disagree with them about though, such as the need for free healthcare and the middle east conflicts), but I don't like to argue politics on message boards, as the only thing you will get from that are toxicity, insults, and moderations. Why bother. So I discuss gaming and other things instead.

I recently dealt with a conservative who refused to tell me their views. They wouldn't even name an author who shares similar beliefs.

So if some kid decides to hurl insults at you, you'll hurl insults back at him too? Two wrongs don't make a right. This is elementary school level stuff.

To make it clear, just because Trump does it, doesn't mean you should stoop to his level to do it too.

I mean, that saying was made famous with Bush after September 11th. Back when if you were a democrat you were constantly called a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer. But the right wing have it so bad now days. :(

It was then parroted by Anakin Skywalker, you know, because movies weren't political back then either!

Sure. But an argument should be able to withstand me googling trump thesis.

That was the first result.

How did you come to the conclusion that "googling trump 'thesis'" is a way to measure an argument? The line "Either you're with me or against me!" has been around for decades.

Misunderstandings have been going around lately when agreeing with someone. Its crazy but it happened to me 3 times in the last 2 days and mostly on Facebook. It sucks that we have to be VERY specific when quoting someone because its so easy to assume everyone wants to argue with you and I don't blame them. That's the state of the world.

It is but it doesn't make it canon. His not seeming interested in Manon is also telling. You'd think he'd like a woman who enjoys being big and strong like him.

Also weird he'd be into Vega since he's a good guy and Vega is most decidedly not. But then again I'm a good guy and like Vega. But it helps he ain't real so his crimes hold little impact on my opinion

I've never agreed with tearing down statues. Put them in a museum and/or put a placard near it stating the bead things they did if they did indeed do bad things. But I would be careful to not make it look opinionated just simply state facts.

This can be done for the north if the man even has a satue. He did horrible things in NC atleast. (There was animal cruelty involved so rather tou dont care about the other stuff that is horrible enough) So just make it a list of notable things they did good or bad. But I don't believe in erasing or hiding history.

Got an actual example? I mean, almost every "centrist" I've seen post on gfaqs is always attacking the left and defending the right.

Honestly, as an European I simply avoid most political topics from the US by default, because everything is seen as attack on one and defending the other.

If it's about social benefits, healthcare / insurence, and similar stuff we are far left socialist, if it's about the latest transgender law in germany that allows people to change their social gender freely but doesn't handle their right to participate in women sports, we are far right bigots.

Some troll here even accused Sweden to be far right once. Not Hungary, not Poland, not Russia, Sweden.

It's just annoying, and just another issue with the two party system the US has. Even without me being part of the Dems vs. Reps infighting the US has, it always becomes about this.

It's especially crazy if our laws and system gets attacked from "both sides".

Example: Abortions. During the first three months, abortions are legal for anyone, after that it needs some medical reason. I think that's fine.

Now I can hear about how we are suppressing women just like Texas, and hear how we are killing poor babies at the same time.

Other topic: Age of consent. It's 14 here.

Of course that makes us all pedophiles. That there are other laws in place to protect 14 years old to be molested by adults doesn't matter. That the statistics show that there are rarely problematic cases doesn't matter either. our official age of consent is 14, so that's problematic.

Other topic: Gun laws.

I could into the next gun shop, and simply ask for a gun. After paperwork, cooldown phase and background check, I could easily buy a Glock for my home, and ONLY my home, not for the public. I also could not buy a AR-15 or similar "assault rifle".

Would not be the first time that I could hear how crazy and terrible this law is from "both sides", yet I can't remember a political discussion about our gun laws during my life time at all, because we don't have such a issue with it at all.

Every political statement I put into a online discussion is automatically placed on some dem/rep scale, and ffs, this is truly annoying.

(yeah, that's some years of build up frustration I had to rant out right now)

of course they don't. I don't like getting into political arguments so this might be the one time thing but I notice that a lot of it is vague and using key words and phrases. It is usually something everyone all seems to say and I live in Louisiana and work in a diner with a lot of red staters who sit and talk about politics all day long or watch videos on their phones.

I see more red staters continue to talk about or watch videos on Obama than I do with any liberals I know. Its usually all just rumors or propaganda though. I've been talked to by Christian weirdos who ask if I pray to Jesus(usually when I'm having trouble) and it gets pretty awkward and of course they want to talk about politics too sometimes and I just slowly nod and try not to say anything because I get tips and I'm not about to offend people when I'm just there to be professional and do my job.
