If you search for "poker" on PEGI's site, it seems that many games which are actually about simulated gambling are rated 12 or 16. They seem to think Balatro is more likely to expose children to realistic gambling than, say, Prominence Poker or Pure Hold'em World Poker Championship, which seems completely bizarre, given that those games are about playing poker and Balatro is a fancy kind of solitaire with no betting.
The thing you have to understand about PEGI is that they are mentally challenged.
Please don't use folk's medical condition as an insult.
You'd have to shut me up and push me out.
You shouldn't, you've already lost enough allies. It has become very clear that cripples and hall monitors does not a majority make. I don't believe in your ethical maxims of sensitivity and strict language policing.
I'm sure you think the celebrated George Carlin is a massive cunt, in duller words.
Bro, they politely asked you not to use potentially hurtful language in an open forum.
Is that really how you react in the real world of someone says "I don't like that, please stop?" Because that's some abuser-coded behavior right there
You'll never successfully change the world like this. This kind of language demonstrably does nothing for you. We all know you believe "the common clay" should shut up and speak through filters approved by you and yours. Fuck you.
You ruined the culture of the left. You changed it from the side of union men to the side of flamboyant, sensitive baristas. To the point that you lost a lot of the vote even from unionized workers.
Lose everything in the next 4 years.
Dude you realize English is not a static language right? You're making an ass out of yourself.
Lol based
I know.
Most people see it. Few, except the opposition, point to it as a negative.
Partly because they become the opposition by pointing to it. Anyone bothered by the change regardless of their standpoint of taxes, regulation, and public services are labeled right wing and pushed to admit it. They might as well go vote for the billionaires' cause if they don't want to shut up about their problems with sensitive liberals, right? Right. So it seems that's exactly what they did.
People don't like people who tell them to shut up, sit down, and behave.
People don't like people who get so offended that they kick you out.
That becomes a problem when you treat the majority like that, and not just a minority of very misbehaved assholes.
Guess why "The One Joke" became so prolific? Some creatively gay progressives desperately wanted to push the majority to comply with a set of new very strange expectations and taboos, and went about it in an incredibly obnoxious, reckless way. It became a huge meme because a majority, not an extremist minority, thought it was weird, ridiculous, stupid, overconfident, pathetic, and probably a whole host of other things.
Mate, they made a joke. Kinda like the ones the celebrated George Carlin made.
That was not a joke. That was a serious request.
