2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That's it. They'll literally attack any futuristic game as "it's a mobile game" and "not realistic", as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol' US of A. So when people constantly talk about how "ah this thing has robots I don't want to play it" it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.

Not to mention, this whole obsession with "realism" to me is absolutely stupid. I don't need to see literally every pore on an old man's face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they're not realistic.
