    Because Pride is an event in Torn. They change the flag, and introduced the NB icon. It is Torn related. The queen dying is not related to Torn, and as such, the discussion goes in Non-Related. This isn't rocket science. …

    I believe you've just proven exactly why we allowed the pride thread in GD. It's an event we have in Torn, and we are very supportive of that community and wish to continue to show our support against those, like …

    GD is for discussing subjects in Torn. You can be gay in Torn. Queen of England didn't play Torn (as far as we know) so it just isn't the right category.

Why during Pride month do we get a GD for everyone to see celebrating gay people, but when The queen dies and most if not all the UK players are of course upset over this we get laughed at by a member of staff and then get our GD moved to somewhere less important?
I don't want to see pride shit but I'm forced to because the admin staff are a bunch of gay pandering hypocrites.

Also the second something slightly offensive is every posted on one of the pride discussions it gets taken down by admins but people are allowed to freely spit on the memory of probably the greatest monarch the UK has every seen.

This isn't rocket science.

And jebus dude, are you using the death of the queen to push your homophobic agenda? I would be impressed if I wasn't so disgusted.

Death of Queen Elizabeth is sad. It's end of an Era.

But hardly a reason to hammer on lgbt people. That's a big leap of logic lol.

The pride stuff was more of an analogy, pride is important to a lot of people, but so was the queen. Why do you get a safe place on GD to talk about Pride but people from the UK who are upset over the queens death get laughed at by staff members?

Pride is not related to torn in any way, it does not have any impact on gameplay. But how is one thing like pride that comes from the real world any more important than the death of a country's figurehead that has reigned for over 70 years?

GD may be for discussing Torn, but Eid Mubarak threads didn't get moved as far as I know.

Would be good to get some clarification on what wouldn't be moved from GD to unrelated.

edit: i have no issue with eid mubarak threads or pride threads - or any sort of thread. Clarification can't hurt though.

The game has a Donald trump mask so i assume is more than fine to post discussions in general about him all the time now seen as tho he is apart of the game?

Re-read the first sentence of the comment you are replying to. Put your finger under each word as you sound it out slowly.

"Because Pride is an event in Torn. They change the flag, and introduced the NB icon. It is Torn related."

You can also have homosexual relationships as a game mechanic. Torn related.

You failed set theory in math, didn't you?

We have world diabetes day, not a pride day or event. so i assume its also fine to insult people with the disease now? if its in Torn its fine i suppose.

I believe you've just proven exactly why we allowed the pride thread in GD. It's an event we have in Torn, and we are very supportive of that community and wish to continue to show our support against those, like yourself (Clearly), who would aim to discriminate.

graving this, as it is just thinly veiled discrimination and not up for discussion
