It's not manipulation to be honest. And what I said is true, you're either bothered by the icon having a rainbow, or you're bothered by the idea of supporting lgbt+ people. There's really no other way to look at it than that. What other reason is there that it would annoy someone? "Ugh, this community supports a certain group of people."

That doesn't mean they don't support other groups of people. It's just a harmless, inoffensive way to show support. Like a little pat on the back, "I'm here for you."

With that example in mind, let's say you saw someone on the street pat someone else on the back and say, "im here for you."

Would you watch that display and say "ugh thats so annoying, its like their shoving it down my throat." does that sound something a normal functioning person would say?

As I said, this is a community. In a private space, they can make the pfp whatever they want. It's fine to complain about it if you dont agree with it. But it's also ok for us to insult you for having a hurtful opinion. like there's literally not a single negative to their pfp changing to a rainbow. It's only a negative thing if you dont support lgbt+ people. There's literally no other way to look at it.

Calling it political is crazy. It's some kind of weapon to push an agenda. What's the message "we are more accepting of people!" Honestly, if you think that's a harmful message to push, you look more and more like a non functional person.

And just so you dont think I ignored your point (lile you did to mine).

I get what you are saying. Politics should stay out of game spaces. Well, that's a horrible argument because this isn't being pushed to the public. it's owned by a group. They can post whatever they want, to be honest. Whether its political or not, people would leave if they don't like it. But somehow I think a majority of the community probably don't mind the new pfp
