Please don't forget, we're a server of close-minded teens who take opinions personally.
I'd like to remind you all that this is what initiated the whole "Nuggie and Tobias" drama. Tobias, in a topic about politics, openly proclaimed his support of Trump. In response, he was flamed, hated on, and called racist as well as various other names. People literally chose to dislike him because of his political beliefs.
Certain people are too immature to handle real world debates and understand the viewpoints of others. This is the internet, it can't be helped. People talking about politics is basically asking for it to get out of hand. You can't convince me it can be handled or there will ever be a "happy medium" that will stay consistent.
On another point (a less strong one), there's a lot of non-Americans on this server. Frankly, they don't give a shit about our politics and don't want to hear it. It's a major turn-off to new foreign players or younger players to have to sit quietly because they can't get a word in over someone's rant on their beliefs.
Tbh most of the people even talking about politics ARENT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE *cough cough* OR ARE CANADIAN
Honestly it doesn't need a shoot on sight policy but it should just be told not to talk about like mid game trading
Yes it is the internet and we all are allowed to have our own opinions, but arguing over your opinion makes you look horrible and people don't want to hear it.
I'm 23 and I don't honestly care for whose opinion on who, you vote for who you want.
Just keep it to yourself and shit should be fine, no need to force your views on others.
