Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!
Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Honestly the people seething over pronouns are pathetic.
They are sobbing over… a single button press to choose a pronoun. Its not like theyre forced to choose a pronoun they disagree with. Complete tools.
Personally I am convinced that 99% of that is just performative. They know it's bullshit to get angry about pronouns, but they do it because it generates attention and serves as a anti-LGBT+ dog whistle.
Call em SJWs. They are the pink haired raging liberals they fought against for so long. Became the thing they swore to destroy.
They have always been like this. As they say: "It's always projection." The right-wingers assume that other people behave the same way they do, but more often than not people simply don't.
Years ago during GamerGate, it was the same shit: They'd cry about collusion, bribery and worse and when you poked into it, there was nothing to it. It was all conjecture. deliberate misrepresentation of events and fake outrage.
I love the video of the British dude absolutely losing his shit about it, then picking up the controller and continuing to play
Like he screamed and cried for 3 minutes about pronouns then went ahead and kept playing the game he was calling evil and boring
That's how it starts, first you play videos games, then next you start wearing knee high socks. They should start prepping a funeral for their soon to be dead name.
