Considering the subject matter being discussed, alongside the assumption that we're all a bunch of liberal progressives here, I'm sure a banning with do nothing but feed into his notion that we're all intolerant of differing opinions. The idea that he's being kicked due to acting like a histrionic, disruptive dipshit will never once cross his mind.
I'm gonna collect the more politically motivated bits of this thread, and boot them up to Comchat.

This is a far cry from productive discussion

I see what you did there.

So it's a kookoo to think that wealthy donors and institutions MIGHT have somethign to do with progressive cultural reformation, but it's also perfectly sane to believe that everything right-wing exists only because of a secret conspiracy funded by the Russians.
Got it.

How the hell else am I supposed to interpret this? It's blatantly obvious you're making idiot assumptions based upon the singular fact that THIS particular Far Cry has white rednecks in it, so the only logical conclusion is mumble mumble mumble progressives mumble mumble mumble media mumble mumble mumble mumble agenda.
So shut the fuck up, Tony.
I'd be interested in having a reasonable exchange with your person, were it that you were were capable of doing anything other than hurling ad-hominem attacks and Reducto ab Absurdum.
That said I've got you fired up into a seething rage, with absolutely zero substantial rebuttal or points being made on your part. Repeatedly telling me to "go fuck myself" and "shut the fuck up" isn't an argument and it doesn't even begin to prove whatever your point is. You are however a great lab rat: egging you on slightly does help illustrate to me how people of your type think, and it's mostly a seething brew of pre-programmed catchphrase (e.g. "institutional racism", "conspiracy theorists", "Lord Dampnut", etc.) and a vitriolic bile towards anything that you view as the out-group.
In short, you're the kind of person who, had you lived in Nazi Germany, would be the first person to take a job sentencing political dissidents to the camps.
I made two statements on the matter: That ubisoft is deliberately trying to take on a controversial topic to draw attention to the game, and that Evangelical Christians (
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SerialNumbersFiledOff) "with the serial numbers filed off" are one of the domestic groups that it is socially acceptable to use as a punching bag.
It's not a "crazy" or "insane" statement to make. The Developer has stated about as directly as he can that the game is inspired by the Bundy Wildlife Takeover.

Tony, shut the fuck up. You're embarrassing not only yourself, but this entire forum.
Goldmoon Dawn on 30/5/2017 at 00:45
Cant we be more original than this?
You guys are basically ganging up on someone, who you dont agree with, and collectively putting your fingers in your ear, and demanding he/they shut up/get out.
This is laughable.
The truth sure does hurt!

Exactly. Anyone who is ultimately detected to be either non democrat or non partisan!

My point is that you're trying to drum up controversy, using this one game as an example of thinly veiled liberal intolerance simply because Ubisoft had the temerity to use a group that hits slightly closer to home.
But where were you when Far Cry 2 came out? Were you complaining then that they were leveraging a political hot topic, portraying Africans as hyper violent drug lords for an easy sell?
Where were you when Far Cry 4 came out? Was it's flamboyant villain a carefully veiled insult against the gay community? Did you believe it portrayed Buddhist culture in a negative light?
...so why is Far Cry 5 any different? Why is it portraying rural America in the same cartoonish light a step too far for you?

By this point, your idiot victim complex is so over the top, you should just photoshop a picture of yourself crucified on the cross, beatific expression in tow, and post it to the board to complete your public display of suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous political misfortunes.
Think of this: if I were this intolerant tyrant, hell bent on quashing any opinion that differs from my own, would you still be posting here, with nary a warning on your account?
So shut the fuck up, Tony.

We can't go a week without some Bible-spouting right-wing gun fetishist massacring innocent people, but games - yes, games - that allow you to give the nutbars a taste of their own medicine are the Real Problem™, clearly.
