I mean while its deplorable I dont think either company has anything about hate actions outside the game. And if they wernt willing to ban him for account sharing (which I am sure they could show he was gaining XP while also being live on TV) then this wont move the needle. Also to be fair I wouldnt want to be in any forward facing position if they did, the brown shirts would internet come for you.

Do your mental health a favor and stop devoting attention to this.

It’s hard not to when the man who just did two nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration is also trying to insert himself into our gaming spaces. We don’t want nazis in our communities.

It’s not hard at all, you choose what you allow to take root in your mind. Additionally, I disagree that that’s what he did; his motion was not an actual heil, and I feel that labeling it as such without better evidence continues the unfortunate trend of dilution powerful words. I don’t think a conversation on this topic will yield anything meaningful, so I’m not going to elaborate further, but I wanted to present an opposing opinion.

Ok, you lost any credibility your original words had when you said it wasn’t a hitler salute. It clearly was. I wish I knew how to post video here. It’s a 2 second video, and it’s clearly a hitler salute.

They shouldn’t hold any credibility in the first place, I’m just some faceless username. I already saw the video, that’s what my opinion is based on. I say his hand’s angle and movement are quite different from a heil, but if you want to disagree, that’s fine as well.

They can’t.

I tried to make a comment about this in a different thread. Only you can control how you wanna spend your energy every day. Stop giving it to being angry at them all day. Unless there is something you can do to take actual action its just ruining your day with no real change taking place.

My father has requested that the family only talk to him about politics if there is something he can do. A petition to sign. A protest to mount. Something. Otherwise he doesn’t want to hear what Trump and his lackey’s are up to because he knows he can’t do anything about it and letting it ruin his daily mental health does him no good.

He’s got his moments. I’m kinda fond of him.

Is your dad in his 40s? He sounds like the kind of guy I’d want to talk sports to.

You know…assuming your dad is a Cleveland sports fan.

Unfortunately he’s in his 60s and he thinks sports are “stupid”.

Still love him though.

You’re on Lemmy. This place is obsessed with posting about Elon every time he farts.

Thank you for reminding me to update my filters to include Elon. I keep meaning to and finally have.

Hey thanks! I had “Elon Musk” in my filter. Apparently, I have to add one for just his first name too. This damn platform has a huge boner for him.

It’s the only way they’re going to figure out what he had for breakfast, so what else are they supposed to do?

Activision certainly won’t. They’re owned by the same Microsoft that just bribed the Orangutan in Chief: https://web.archive.org/web/20250112043306/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/3281096/microsoft-1-million-trump-inauguration/

There’s zero chance they’ll risk Melon lashing back at them because of a stupid game.

Still worth flooding their inboxes. Make it more expensive for them to keep him unbanned.
