Why no Father’s Day event?

WillyW

If you can do a pride event why not do a Father’s Day event? If you wanna include everybody include everybody.

Huh?

MrSakuragi

They can’t run events for every holiday. And not everyone is a Father, either…

WillyW

Huh?

I’m just saying if they can do a pride event why not do something similar for Father’s Day. Just like a few free crystals by using champs that are dads

WillyW

But why should they pick and choose what holidays are more important than others? All holidays should be equally important

WillyW

Or like a in-game message that says happy Father’s Day and gives a free crystal

BringPopcorn

Yeah, being a father brings a whole social agenda issue... If you can't see the difference betweent Women's day or Pride with Father's day, you need to socialize a bit more...

SammyDe

Maybe one like Descendants Day, that should include everyone. Oxygen User Day or Carbon Based Organism Day can also work. I am a father and feel like everyday is a great day to be a father already (but I like free stuff too).

Where were you when they didn't do anything for mother's day? Grandparents day? Boxing day? You aren't complaining about Juneteenth? Today is also national fudge day. Why aren't you complaining about that?

Oh you just wanted to complain about pride. Careful, your homophobia was almost showing.

As was pointed out when the same question was asked about Mother's Day last month..

(ok, not the SAME question, I think then just asked about Mother's Day itself, and didn’t tie it in with showing that they don’t like the phenomenon of sunlight reflecting off of the back of water droplets in the atmosphere at different angles for different frequencies of light that makes up the sun's rays. And btw, if anyone is curious about double, triple, or even more, reflections of the rays within the water droplets before exiting back out, resulting in further angular displacements for each successive reflection, it is an interesting read)

Mother's + Father's Days in the U.S. are not necessarily the same day as elsewhere around the world (it is probably different all over the place).

How about Monday Day.. Sunday Day.. And so on..1 free 7 every DAY...

Because fathers day and mothers day are celebrated in different days depending on countries that's why kabam sticks to events which have fixed dates

You almost had a good point till your last line then you lost credibility. Just because you think someone is complaining about "pride" does not mean they fear it. Homophobia = fear of ..... ( out of mild respect I'll not use the descriptive) There is a distinct difference between disagreeing, not believing, thinking it is morally wrong, and down right being abusive against... can not lump it all under a single definition to suit a narrative.
As for wondering why kabam did not do anything for Father's Day or various other so called holidays who cares it's not their responsibility to supply free stuff at players whim Be happy when they do but do not expect or demand anything. I am against the pay to play mentality of both the game and many of the self important players that reside in these forum but at the end of the day it's a game you can put it down

Fathers day is first Sunday of September

This is a semantic quibble, and not even a proper one. The term "homophobia" was originally coined in the 1960s, and while it was originally used in a clinical setting it was quickly adopted both in and out of the LGBTQ+ community to refer to people who have either an fear of, or aversion to, homosexuals, or more generally to people with an anti-LGBTQ+ bias.

The idea that the word must mean what its component base fragments means has no basis in reality. Words mean what their common usage implies. The Oxford English Dictionary describes the meaning of the word homophobe to be "a person who is hostile towards, prejudiced against, or (less commonly) fearful of homosexual people or homosexuality."

My main point was just that why does kabam pick and chose what holidays are more important and it was just that today was Father’s Day when I posted this so I said something. Like June is also men’s mental awareness month but that gets overshadowed by pride month.

Might read about that but I wasn’t on forum when Mother’s Day happened so I didn’t see that post. In Canada Father’s Day is still today though.

The short answer is we don't celebrate and acknowledge International Women's Day and Pride Month because they are holidays. In fact, neither are holidays. We celebrate International Women's day and Pride Month because historically both women in general and LGBTQ+ people have had issues with representation, both in the comic book industry and the video game industry in particular. As MCOC is connected to both, Kabam has a special opportunity to try to reverse these historical biases in an attempt to be more inclusive.

The very fact that we still have people who wonder why we acknowledge these two moments of recognition that is one of the reasons we still have to. Because both the LGBTQ+ community, and in their own separate way women in general, still face negative biases, stereotypes, and even discrimination and hostility in ways that most of the civilized world have come to recognize, if not always properly mitigate, and the idea that this isn't even a thing is still pervasive.

The longer answer, which fortunately for me wasn't wiped off the forums during the purge as in years past, is here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2558572/#Comment_2558572

Although it is 10000% not needed it would be dope....this game is one of me and my sons closest connections. He was a toddler when this game came out and he's been playing it ever since with me or near me (at least until he was old enough to even attempt to play competitively)....ever since he was devastated I couldn't pull a 3/4* rocket raccoon for him. Fastforward like a decade and he's thronebreaker, crushes every challenge thrown at him and is growing a mustache lol ......dang this game/post just made me feel ridiculously old 😭

I don’t usually acknowledge disagrees, except to make fun of them, but this would be one of those times that warrants an exception.

If you’re one of those people who just doesn’t like me, I don’t really care. But as Slashdot used to reference, if you’re one of the Anonymous Cowards who has a problem with this topic, and I’m specifically an easy target to vent that disagreement towards, then congratulations: you’re why Kabam goes out of their way to publicize International Women’s Day and Pride month.

It’s easy to find and ban the overt bigots. It’s the much larger numbear of less obvious bigotry that can’t really be dealt with on any direct level. We can only reach out to everyone else and continue to emphasize the degree of the problems and the need for continued vigilance.

We can’t tell one Anonymous Coward from another. We simply have to assume that there are still people reflexively biased against addressing representational problems past and present, and so long as those people exist, the need to continue highlighting events like this will also continue to exist.

Continue to make yourselves known, so we know we still have more work to do. And if you are one of those people who just doesn’t like me, but has no issue with representation events, then try to separate yourselves from the bottom feeders. Maybe lol my posts instead just this once.

Overshadowed by Pride Month? Come on. You know this isn't true at all. We get it, you think Pride Month is taking away from everything else. Go back to Reddit.

There are a number of responses to that question, but the simple response is it's something near and dear to their hearts. There are a number of staff members who are a part of that community.
It's also worth pointing out that Pride is about much more than a holiday. It's about showing support and solidarity so that a marginalized and abused part of society can heal and know the world can be safe for them. I'm not aware of people being rejected on that level for being fathers.
There are a plethora of calendar acknowledgments and days/weeks/months. It would be impossible to celebrate them all with Events in the game.
If this is a genuine question, fair enough. You may find some of the reactions are because it sounds vaguely like asking why there isn't a "Straight Pride". I cannot say for certain if that was your point, so I'll not assume. While we're on the subject, there's no Straight Pride for the same reason there are no wheelchairs for people that can walk.

With that logic, not everyone is pride? 🤪
Kabam gave same logic of, "Not everyone celebrate Christmas."

Is it selective events now? Tick mark events?

Not trying to be a **** here but not everyone is LGBTQ either, so that's not really a valid argument.
