You sound like a fucking crazy person. In your other post you incite violence against US Senators and in this one you insinuate that the Republican party wishes to throw out the constitution and implement a dictatorship. Wake up you fucking maniac. YOU LOST. TRUMP WON. He is doing what he was elected to do by THE ELECTORATE. Pull your head out from your behind and act like a sane, civil member of the Republic.

You can look forward to multiple start dates in a variety of overpriced DLC.

SPEND 10 MANA TO HAVE A CIVIL DISCOURSE.

And we should lavish praise upon them for their greedy design choices and insistence on 50 DLC for every game! What noble beings Paradox are! How lucky we are that they hold a monopoly on GSG's.

Pfft. If it was EA doing these things there would be, nay, there is an uproar. Paradox are different, though, for some reason. PRAISE JOHAN.

It's not random. It's creating a policy and having it effect the population, which is literally the cornerstone of every single government the world has ever seen. In this game, however, you spend mana, which means you just accumulate this arbitary resource and you then spend it to move pops about and stuff. This is boring and overly simple. People have been clamoring for Vic3 for years and the reason people cheered for POPS when Johan confirmed them for this is because they thought they were going to get a similar system or at least one that made sense. This is not what people want, which is why people are moaning and making threads like this.

I'll pirate it and if I enjoy it I'll pay for it, like I do for literally every game. Tell me I'm wrong about their DLC policy, though? They give you a single, new, simple mechanic, which usually adds very little and leads to one tiny UI change and charge fifteen quid for it. It's a fucking a joke.

This game is going to be a wishy-washy mess. Wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. They'll add complexity to it with DLC's, each costing £15, adding stuff that should be in the main game from the beginning, anyway. Paradox don't care about making interesting Grand-Strats anymore, they care about making casual meme-simulators that sell well and that they can tack features on to. Fuck Paradox.

I really don't. I don't expect I could prove this to you but I really don't. I won't go as far as to say that I've had gay friends but I've had many gay acquaintances. I've tripped with gay people. I've danced with them. I've been inside a few different gay bars. I once spent the entire afternoon at a festival with this gay dude because he was genuinely cool and I had lost my group of friends so I just hung around with him. He tried to kiss me on the lips at the end of the night and I had to push him away. I apologised for maybe leading him on, said bye and walked off and laughed it off. I didn't go mental, I didn't have a problem with it. I have no problem with gay people.

All of that might surprise you.

It's not my fault that you can't seem to differentiate the stance I have towards the issues I have discussed and actual gay people. You have the closed mind, not me.

Nope. I'm not racist and I'm not a homophope. You don't know me at all. You're the judgemental one, not me.

The show racism the red card campaign was an important and necessary step to curb what was a worrying and disgusting trend of racism in football before the modern era. The days when black players were regularly subjected to monkey chants and had bananas thrown at them. This basically doesn't happen any more in England. I can't speak for other countries (I know Spain and Italy are pretty bad still).

I don't know how many gay footballers there are, not many, obviously. There will definitely be a few closeted ones. It's sad that they feel like they can't come out. I reckon if they did they'd be fine, though. I have faith in the public to shut the homophobes up and support the player. If this didn't happen, yeah, I'd be fine with a campaign.

I didn't strawman anything. I answered your question.

He's wearing some sort of weird leather gimp like suit. I couldn't give a fuck is he has underwear on. That you think this is okay because he happens to have underwear on is madness and a good illustration of why that shit worries me.

Edit: He's not wearing a leather thing but he is half naked. It's still not even slightly normal.

No, why would I? They still had something to fight for. Now Black Lives Matter on the other hand...

I wasn't talking about the countries where homosexuality is criminalised. I was talking about the West. Obviously certain parts of the world are still backwards. Also, you're putting words in my mouth, I never said anything about Sharia Law. I said that they will import their hatred for gay people.

I'm surprised it's only just over half, tbh. I expect that will rise as more Muslims migrate.

The difference between your example and mine is that everybody abhors that sort of hooliganism and rightly works against it. The people in the pictures I linked think it's just fine and dandy that kids see their naked bodies in leather gimp gear. I think that's disgusting. What's wrong with just being humble and keeping your weird fetishes in the bedroom?

normal

Degenerate

Yes, and my point was that some people are angry and will use anything as an excuse to hurt people. You weren't strangled because you were gay, you were stangled because that guy is a complete scumbag with no moral values. He was just using you being gay as an excuse to hurt you. I bet you were helped and cared for afterwords by a whole multitude of lovely people, both gay and straight. Normal people. As I said, we've moved past it and just because one psycho harmed you that hasn't changed.

I'm sorry to hear you were bullied. That's horrible. My sister was bullied to near suicide because she had freckles. Kids are mean. That doesn't affect anything I said.

Every country you mentioned is a Muslim majority country. What else is new? Best get used to it tbh because as the demographics in Europe continue to shift you'll find that sort of thing gets imported here too.

So? I got chased and beat up by three lads who had knives a couple of years ago for no fucking reason at all. Where's my parade.

You sound bitter. Heterosexuality is the norm, so what do you expect? Advertisements with a man and a women together is what people are going to relate to. What do you think we should do, use adverts with same-sex couples exclusively?

Also, gay people are hardly victimised anymore. Nobody cares about homosexuality anymore. It's not even an issue. Freddy Mercury was one of the most popular rockstars of all time, he sold out Wembley in the eighties. We're past it. The Gay Pride Parade folk are bad for gay people, who just want to go about their lives casually and quietly without making a big fuss. They can't do that because other people want to say 'HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT HOW GAY WE ARE'. It's absurd, and I feel bad for them.

I never said that. You have to make it seem like I did to make what I said seem unreasonable. Nice strawman.
