You can be offended and you can say "I'm a offended because I have a different opinion", and we won't take action against you for being offended.

But if you say "LGBTQ+ people are disgusting and shouldn't exist" or something else hateful, we will take action under Our Terms of Use, which explicitly cover harassment and discrimination.
How if i say "FARMERS ARE DISGUSTING AND SHOULDN'T EXIST IN PIMD!" will i get silenced? Farmers are minority in pimd…

Possibly. For trolling.
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

For example. Literally for clarity, am I not allowed to express my disbelief in say...something like pansexuality? When it's basically just bisexualism reworded. I don't really care what people do but all these terms sometimes do go above and beyond.

It's funny, ATA acts like they care for everyone, but anyone who disagrees with their opinions will be silenced. I support the LGBT community, but apparently now people aren't allowed to have an opinion that doesn't agree with those in the community. What a low we have reached.

Because if someone's opinions are hateful and discriminatory, they have no place here. Just like we don't allow racism, we don't allow hate speech against the LGBTQ+ community.

Again none of this would have been brought about had your team not brought such a controversial issue into the game I should have seen it coming a mile away from the "Rainbow Hearts" that ya put in so long ago. I have family members who are lesbian and gay while I may still love them I do not respect their Choice Anyhow the golden rule still stands treat others how you would like to be treated and do unto others as you would have done unto you

Being gay isn't a choice...oh myyyy
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

Oh and Jodie while your at it I expect avatars for suicide awareness month ya know because they get hated and discriminated more so than gays do ? just a thought Miss creative
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

I'm actually quite surprised that this wasn't locked when for the simple fact that I do believe you (ATA) knew that although you would have supporters you would also have unnecessary drama. It's to the point now it's not even about LBGTQ but it's about how users of the game feel they you are selective in your support and I don't comment much but honestly all this drama is ruining the thread and the purpose of it.  this has gone far left unnecessarily. ???
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

I'm not sure why people get so offended over who a person is attracted to or what gender they are. Crazy
 
I think ultimately open, honest and respectful communication is imperative with such sensitive topics. We have to keep in mind that everyone comes from a different place that has led them to become who they are today. Beliefs are not so easily changed and if you want to convince someone to understand where you are coming from, it helps to reach out and understand their side first without judgment so we can get somewhere.

Basically, due to my background, I understand where both sides are coming from and we are all free to express our side/views but we must also take the responsibility to do so with respect and be careful with our words.

We are fighting hate and ignorance and trying to build a safe space for everyone.
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

Quote of ATA Jean vvvvv
As mentioned in the original post of this thread, we strive for inclusivity of all our players no matter their orientation or gender identity. And "bringing up" -- i.e. celebrating -- Pride is one way in which we do so.

LGBTQ+ people are part of our community, and we welcome them. Our intent with this post was to show them our support, and help spread understanding and acceptance of a group of people who continue to be targeted and attacked simply for being different.

^^^^^^^^

It is not controversial to accept people for who they are and celebrate our differences.[/quote]
You make it sound like they weren't welcomed before, they always were and we could clearly see that community in the world chat. There's no need to put your nose on a topic that is hard to talk about especially on an international game. You shot yourself on the foot, there's no way you couldn't expect clashes or counter opinions.

Damn it I messed up the Quote

You can certainly disagree with ATA, that's not what this thread was about. This thread was made to stop people from explicitly telling people that their "identities don't exist" or they're "an evil upon the world". Basically, just be respectful to everyone.

Giving huge respect for this guy! ?
 
Re: Our LGBTQ community

Thank y'all so much for so much LGTB support and all the pride items! I'm a genderqueer biromantic asexual person (complicated, I know) so it's great seeing the plushies and avatars! It makes me feel so happy and all warm inside to know that y'all are here to support us and see us as such equals. Sending my love to ya 

Just be respectful to everyone, but we have Steven over here who attacks anymore who doesn't agree with them even saying allies are less than useless. I've never seen someone more disrespectful on this thread, yet they are allowed to constantly attack people because ATA agrees with them.

i wasn't saying the differences themselves are speculative; the aforementioned specific biological components playing such a large role in whether someone is or isn't trans - thats speculative. correlation is not causation, and, as i just said, you can't accurately paint all trans people with the same brush.
I like how it's okay for you to belittle people but when someone has some actually facts you act all innocent learn to shut ya mouth 
the hell is your irrelevant ass on about now lmao

I'm pretty sure saying someone is irrelevant isn't very respectful is it Winston?
