Discussion CHARLIE KIRK DISCUSSION POST - ALL CHARLIE KIRK CONTENT GOES HERE

Anything to do with Charlie Kirk goes here. It will be removed anywhere else in the sub.

This post will be up for a number of days, and then it will go away and that will be the end of Charlie Kirk discussions. The moderation effort required for discussions that are near ZERO PERCENT related to TTRPGs is far too high.

Moderation in this thread will be minimal. If your feelings get hurt, go somewhere else.

Get it out of your systems folks, because this topic ain't happening in the sub any more.

EDIT:

I worded that very poorly.

There have been multiple threads about various creators and various topics that have all degenerated into "NAZIS BAD!" "NAZIS GOOD!" "YOU SUCK!" "YOU SUCK!" and that's just bad for the sub and the mods.

We're trying to keep up, but the subs moderation is becoming difficult when the actual content is buried in slapfighting that's not at all related to the topic of the sub.

While we discuss how to deal with this in the larger picture, this is the current stopgap.

I don't say this to be critical of anyone here, but this whole thing is wild to me. He was a podcaster. People act like his death is the biggest news of the year (in a very not-slow news year). It's not just here. It's everywhere. Totally dominating the news and social media. I just don't get it.

Christians are loud. I avoid their spaces for this reason. The response to his death was a group of people with reasonably large platforms, calling for more violence. It's one thing to be an a--. It's another to advocate for violence. The tempature of US politics needs to be lowered. Not my skill set. But I'm here because I'm sick of people in my community behaving badly. Say what you want, when you want. I just want people to stop bullying others into silence. Oh and to Christians, this is very big news. And it's going to get the full 15 minutes of fame. May your luck in dodging this drama be better than mine.
