yeah of course right now it's controlled by liberals because that's who is culturally in power but when conservatives were in power they were the ones that did it, liberals didn't create cancel culture, people have been cancelled since forever, it just depends who has cultural power at the time will be able to control corporations.

A certain group of people who throw fits when things don’t go there way or people who have different opinions than them. And if you don’t appease the mob, you get canceled.

Typically they live on social media, particularly twitter.

There is a huge difference between a gaming platform deciding who you get to hang out with vs. an organizer. A gaming platform should be as lenient as possible to the entire player base while an organization can, understandably, be more picky.

Riot L.
No one should be banned for following concepts of a religion(Muslim, Jew, and Christianity, these three kinda mixed) Tate has never forced anyone to follow what he says, Want to get into a relationship with him? He has rules and red flags, that's his opinion. It's your fucking decision to decide if you want to or not.
I've seen some e-dating doing worse things or same thing as he did, I've seen e-dates that didn't even let their girlfriend or boyfriend talk to anyone else and still judging him lol.
All things he said applies to HIS WORLD, HIS LIFE.
I think people shouldn't be offended by a generalization at all, anyways just my opinion.
Feel free to judge me.

That's what I think, terrible or not.
I don't think we should give the government power over free spech to ban people or something else even when it comes to bad stuff or fake news, because the government shouldn't have that power since we all know almost every government is most likely to be corrupt and going to judge something bad as long it as it's against their intentions.
State is supposed to mean "all people", but most government follows only their establishment, we all know that.
Again, just my opinion I'm not correct or anything, not even sure if there's a "correct" take about these stuffs there's both sides.

I never said It's wrong or correct, just, you should be aware of what you're doing following someone or not, just be aware of path you're taking.

"the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against their will, is to prevent harm to others"
thats the limit of free speech
if u have a dude like tate talking openly about his views which are extremely harmful to women, i think its fair to not let him spread these harmful ideas.

Alice, I'm not saying Tate is BAD or GOOD here.
I'm saying that giving power to judge something as fake news or bad stuff ends up opening this power to be misused (to judge something as bad or fake), and as we know..it will happen.
That's my worries.

Just I said before, punishing him big L
not punishing big L too

deplatforming ppl when theyre spreading hate speech is good. how to determine when something is hate speech? with the quote i posted: "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against their will, is to prevent harm to others"
if a concept or idea from a religion consist in others being considered less human or that they have limited freedom, then its good to ignore said idea and label it as what it is, hate speech.

I know Tate has some misogynistic stances, but I don't think I have ever heard him to directly incite harm against any groups ever (you can correct me if you'd like by presenting evidence). Misogyny, racism, etc, as bad as they are, do not necessarily incite physical harm, which would be a breach against freedom of speech.
Furthermore, the fact that a person's face could represent an idea is ridiculous and the fact that a gaming platform decides who gets to associate with it is even more ridiculous. What, so the next time someone takes a photo with George W. Bush or Obama, he'll be branded as a war mongerer since the former began the Iraq War and the latter launched drone attacks in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, etc? What prevents Carlos from being simply a fan of Tate's kickboxing career to him associating with Tate's worst ideas?

he literally moved to romania cuz he can be more corrupt there, and said that himself lmao.
he has stated that depression isnt real, has compared women to dogs, has said that women cant drive, that they belong in the home, that they are "given to the man and belong to the man", and that women are partially responsible for being sexually assaulted

What..? This is such a stupid and dangerous precedent - to allow authority figures to make arbitrary implications based on your actions that don't give any statements. I already gave further examples below.

Judging by your thought process, you don't have to worry about that as this would never happen.

Good, you just explained that you, yourself, would do your best to please Riot. That still isn't an argument against my claim or answers my question.

I mean, just see how "misused" riot power over this can be used to, Ocelote got fucked just to party with him (not even supporting his ideas)
The problem is that this opens up the power to be misused and we know it will be.
I'm not even defending Tate or Ocelote too.
That's the only worries.
Still, Riot can decide whatever they want.

The problem is that Tate also has other achievements and we don't know what Carlos is associating with in Tate since he never clarified. It's not as if I took a picture with Chris Brown, I endorse woman beating, or if I take a photo with Mel Gibson or Tom Cruise, I endorse anti-Semitism. Only in VLR will you find people agreeing with such illogical decisions.
