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.

Because that’s what they want? What else would it be? This isn’t something that beneficial for the community no how you attempt to swing it.
I’m not yelling, I’m correcting someone who is attempting to defend a volatile decision. But if that’s what you want to assume, clearly you never came here in good faith either, goes both ways.
Whenever someone proof of their idea is ‘why else?’ they aren’t trying to have a discussion because they already stated that they have no intention of looking at other opinions. You are making just as much if not more assumptions.
And I made a comment on the post, you replied to my comment. The both ways argument doesn’t really fit here.
We were having a discussion before that phrase and since you’ve pointed out we weren’t I stopped. So to call that out after is extremely disingenuous… however….all I wanted was to see how you came to the conclusion that this was an error on Microsoft’s part, when part of their policy is to allow ONLY first party devices.
That means ones that have paid a fee and gotten their stuff tested. They’ve told you their intentions, and you want to claim I’m making it up? Good lord read some articles about this before spouting your opinion maybe if that’s the case.
You made a comment in a public forum, people responding and wanting to have discussions go hand in hand…. Or why else would you be commenting…? To be heard by others but not wanting to listen back? Yeah that’s coming in with good faith lmfao.
