    And of course the comments can’t even be benign, it’s β€œget on board or get out” here at the forums within the first 5 minutes. Gonna be another fun month. πŸ™„

    Kabam has always supported pride, they have a lot of staff that are also a part of the community

    β€œGet on board or get out” is more like have basic human decency for the LGBTQ community
    The comments in the thread are unprovoked already telling people to quit the game if you don’t have the same views. And it’s just June 1st.

    I have seen multiple holiday greetings from multiple religions expressed on these forums without in game events. I don’t recall any of them telling other people to quit the game if you didn’t celebrate.
    Well As far as I believe no one is mad in the forums either for kabam celebrating Christmas or LNY. So far many people threatened to quit and abused kabam only for celebrating pride.

    You don't have to have same views, you just don't have to be mad about kabam celebrating pride. That's the only thing expected here.
    Kabam in my few years here has never explicitly celebrated Christmas, or Thanksgiving. or Hanukkah etc… the banquet event sort of lines up with the time of year but it’s always been generically named β€œholiday” event. Not so with this one… it their company, have at it. I am just saying there hasn’t been even the hint of fur flying or haymakers thrown and we already have people saying celebrate or get out of the community. Why the angst? Have your celebratory threads like other people have theirs…. Why go negative with such declarations of β€œquit the game”? Seems like baiting to me.
    Who forced you to celebrate? You can ignore the whole event and just claim the rewards. If you don’t like someone saying happy pride month, don’t come into a thread about pride month? Seems pretty simple to just ignore it and not lose out on anything
    I think what he's trying to say is there's always a lot of passive aggressive remarks on these threads from the other side too which to a certain extent I do agree with. He's not saying anyone is forcing him to celebrate or that he has an issue with pride itself, it's more about the passive aggressive comments saying celebrate it or get out.
    Ah I get you. I don’t expect anyone to celebrate it, it’s more so that I don’t understand what he means by a β€œdifferent view.” If that view is that they don’t want to celebrate, sure fine that’s their choice

    If there’s anyone here is a bigot, they should definitely get out. If they just don’t want to engage, fair enough
    I completely missed that part, if he meant something else by different view then nvm I thought he was talking about the passive aggressive remarks people send for no reason before there even is an argument. This thread started as completely wholesome and then some people are already being passive aggressive on both sides for absolutely no reason. Just wish we could have one of these with no ragebait whatsoever some of these comments are basically inviting the bigots and the trolls to start with the toxicity as per usual.
    You didn’t miss anything and correctly got the point of my posts… as anyone who honestly goes back and read what I said would get the same conclusion. Unfortunately in today’s culture, that’s a big ask.
    If your view is don't care it's none of my business then that's fine, that's the same view I have, I don't celebrate it but I don't demonize either. I get that the main point was people straight up being rude pretty much saying celebrate it or get out tho.
    I do think that even though Totems first message was strongly worded, they did explicitly call out bigots. I don’t think there’s a place for actual bigots of any kind in any community. I didn’t see anyone specifically saying celebrate or get out (which I hugely disagree with anyway and basically echo your sentiment on the matter).
    And what are you exactly gonna do about it? spamm forum replies? Oh what will become of them, a worse fate than death is having Emilia90 and Totem trashtalking you in a forumπŸ™€.
    Nobody's going to do anything about it, you're just a sad hateful individual is all.

    That’s true, it does start something on a thread that wasn’t meant for it. Agree 100% there even if the sentiment itself makes sense

    This is probably just gonna go in circles now anyway lmao. I’m doing my fights rn and praying for some good valiant crystals

    Man I just realised they stacked Isos in the event rewards in such a way it represent rainbow with it's colors man that's really a nice detail. Give raise to the guy who came up with it!



    They've done this every year from what I've seen

    You don't have to celebrate, you just have to not be a jerk
    Can only one side be a jerk? Or is it possible for both sides to get into that behavior? Cause telling people to quit the game for having a different view out of the blue seems to fall into the β€œjerk” category as well.
    Yes, one side can be a jerk in this because it's clear to see what the view point it is seeing pride and *specifically* pride gets you up in arms.

    In short, you can say "hey, why don't we have other seasonal events like such?" Instead of making it a way to dog on Pride.

    TL;DR, you can tell when people actually care about the other events and when they only want to spew angst towards another

    I think you're probably right. I see a lot of straight up slurs and hate and bigotry around this game (as well as a lot of really positive stuff), but that negative stuff isn't really on the forum that much, so it was unnecessary for me to include that.
    I did clarify what I meant, and I don't really understand why some people completely ignore that and continue to argue about it, but it is what it is.

    Happy Pride Month to all!
    Any bigots should find another game to play, because MCOC's support for the community couldn't be any clearer.

    Oh you weren't around last year to see al the drama that unfolded. Especially when kabam gave rainbow profile pics and a born this way title, which triggered lot of dumb people and we had atleast like 5 posts and even one guy making a apology post after threatened to get banned lol.
    Don’t forget there’s a content creator that still hasn’t come back after 2 years following backlash on his homophobic posts/jokes
    Lmao who was it? Asking for frie--...nah I just want to make sure I'm not subscribed to their YT channel lol

    Oh lord! Am I going to hell? Goddammit!

    Anyway, I didn't click on this thread for negative comments. I did so because I thought OP was mistaken. I thought the so-called pride month was a February-thing only to be met with rude lgbt-pro comments targeting those with different views. My "bigotry" comes from your rudeness and don't ever think I care if some fool dislikes me for knowing the correct usage of pronouns or whatever else. I'm good.

    "So called pride month"? It's the whole month of June. It's always been that way. You were triggered from the beginning as you're now showing exactly what they're talking about. You're obviously bigoted. You're now making this claim of thinking pride month was in February, knowing you're wrong. Your bigotry comes from the hate you have for people just wanting to exist but can't because people like you don't think deserve to.

    You came to this thread for confrontation. The bigot in you couldn't pass it up.

    February is black history month. March is women's month. Both of those I'm fairly certain you hate as well. Hopefully someone on the game team sees this a gays up you account. You were probably one of the people in twitch chat hating on Rayn.

    Theres 2 sides to consider.

    1) Just because you dont celebrate does not give you the right to shame people that do celebrate it.

    2) Just because you celebrate or are LGBT does not mean you force other people to celebrate (which seems like this thread may be doing).

    Its important to consider that everyone has different religious views. For instance, there isnt mentions of it in the Bible/Quran etc so some may view it as being manmade etc. However someone without religious views may have different inclinations etc.

    At the end of the day, we all need to be able to get along and not attack each other just because of what they believe in.

    Its similar to politics, you may have friends that have different views than you but you still get along with them. You dont attack someone on the forums just because of what group they support. The other day that dude with the Silver Centurion pfp was attacking anyone that was Republican. That shouldn't be tolerated

    No one of forcing anyone to celebrate pride month. How you came to that conclusion, I have no clue.

    1. I didn’t even bring up pronouns? And every person on this planet has pronouns lmao
    2. Don’t put the pride pfp on. Keep it off lmao. You can use whatever pfp you want
    1. Ain't the pronoun thing one of the things that would make one a "bigot" if you used "an incorrect" one to address someone of your(?) community? That was just an example out of a possible 100.

    2. It would be easier to not see it at all whenever I go through my profile pics because it does not represent me or anyone I care about.
    Number two would be considered a bigoted statement.

    It's always jerks telling others not to be jerks.
    Those who don't respect others' views or accept them for who they are telling others about acceptance.

    As though being called a "bigot" has ever heard anybody. Just say that's how you get down and that you hate anybody else who gets down the opposite way and leave it at that instead of hiding behind "your support for pride people".

    Bigotry is not a view that should be tolerated
    For a second there I thought you were about to make a point but you missed the mark completely

    "So called pride month"? It's the whole month of June. It's always been that way. You were triggered from the beginning as you're now showing exactly what they're talking about. You're obviously bigoted. You're now making this claim of thinking pride month was in February, knowing you're wrong. Your bigotry comes from the hate you have for people just wanting to exist but can't because people like you don't think deserve to.

    You came to this thread for confrontation. The bigot in you couldn't pass it up.

    February is black history month. March is women's month. Both of those I'm fairly certain you hate as well. Hopefully someone on the game team sees this a gays up you account. You were probably one of the people in twitch chat hating on Rayn.

    TL;DR
    Again, calling anyone a "bigot" ain't going to hurt them. That's what YOU people run to in hopes of shutting others up. Matter of fact, this name-calling can go both ways. I can drop F-bombs you'd think it was a war zone.

    But still I don't care what a damn stranger has to say about my views about people who hate others for their own views. So basically, f*** you!
    Not feeling hurt for being called a bigot when you're making jokes about pronouns isn't a good thing. I'm not gonna call you a bigot but you certainly seem pretty angry about pride
    I'm not angry about it. I'm angry about fools wanting others to "celebrate their month" or else you're the devil as though being one is all that bad. I've seen things more evil in this world and we're busy arguing about one of them.

    By the way, I wasn't making jokes about pronouns. I was making a point and used that as an example. Hey, go be an it if you want but I see a he or she irrespective of makeup or clothing. Have I reached the highest level of "bigotry" yet?

    Anyways, I have important things to go and take care of. Things that actually matter.

    I like the strawman from so many people from the start of the thread. Not a single person here has said you have to celebrate pride month. Not a single person here said to get out if you don’t want to celebrate pride month. They did say for bigots (specifically bigots) to leave and that they’re not welcome. Since when does bigots leave = people not wanting to celebrate pride? Y’all made up an argument and are fighting ghosts at this point

    From the beginning of the thread when Totem said that bigots aren’t welcome people brought in β€œoh so I have to celebrate pride or get out” like no one said that, are y’all even reading the same sentences 😭

    You know what I love my wife, but you don't hear me trying to get a straight persons month. I can care less who you love weather it be a person of the same sex or what ever. Frankly the fact that we have a month that celebrates what less then 10% of the country believes is crazy. like I said to each their own but this is ridiculous.

    You know why you don't ask for a straight person's month? Because you don't need it. The same way we don't have wheelchairs for people who can walk.
    Pride came about because people got tired of being abused by the police and shunned by society. Scores of people who were watching their friends and loved ones die in isolation from AIDS, murder, and lack of protection. The bottom line is, we got tired of not being treated as equal human beings.
    Today more than ever it's important. People are still being murdered. They're still committing suicide. They're still being kicked out by their families and shut out. Hell, entire government organizations are trying to erase their existence because of archaic scare tactics that were used against gay people back in the 50s, labeling them predators.
    Less than 10% is not the number of the population that believes in fairness and equality. That's the part of the population that was used by a certain President to gain power, and the only thing that man cares about is himself. People are just pawns for his own ego.
    Regardless of the politics of it, you don't ask for straight pride because no one is killing straight people off for being straight.
    100% nailed the reason why here.

    Those kind of posts piss me off the most because 9 times out of 10 they hold bigoted views but they lack the courage of their conviction to outright say it. So they hide behind these clichΓ©d and played out phrases and 'opinions'.

    Cowards the lot of them.

    As for the poster who doesn't want to scroll past a rainbow pfp. Jesus. Imagine being that pathetic. What are you scared of? That if you stare at it for too long you'll get signed up to grindr or something?
