this is a spaceman game and should be treated as such. identity politics should not be acknowledged. goon is one of the most tolerant places on the internet, period. we do not have to keep acknowledging it.
forgot how to quote but I agree with what wonk said- "A request to remain non-political, or an attempt to remove political stances, has lumped the poster in with the right. They have now been called morally abhorrent - if not directly, the insinuation is very clear that they will become morally abhorrent if they do not change their mind and reply in a way that makes them more agreeable to the person doing the accusing.".
this is a spaceman game. it's okay to be non political.
games are escapes from reality. why bring reality in? part of why I've played for so long is because the rest of the world disappears when i'm playing the spaceman game.
also- this should not become an opportunity to have admins be transparent with votes/etc/. these things should stay secret. it is not something the players should meddle in or be privy to. It isn't our business to see and critique hard work that is done voluntarily without pay.
double post- the gravity of wanting to keep things non political has led to some absurd losses. None of this was worth it. It's very, very disappointing. The losses of staff were colossal.
Over fucking what?
How much more equal can we be on a spaceman game? On Goonstation at that?
Thank god I was never called up to be an admin. This seems totally fucking miserable to voluntarily put yourself through/
