Is it really the case?
Well I don't think there's any "force" involved here, nor are ppl trying to change anything. They're just helping to brighten the day of LGBT ppl playing the game who might be in the closet, or are otherwise feeling uncomfortable with themselves. And I think that's really sweet and will end well as long as nobody starts any problems. But until then it's not hurting anyone, and if anyone is tired of seeing it they can just wait it out like the rest of the miiverse trends.
This. The majority of posts are essentially "Thumbs up LGBT people!", there's nothing being "forced" or "shoved down throats" with that, and frankly it says something about the people making such claims. LGBT people don't harm anyone by being visible, and there's always the option to turn these posts off.
I feel the same. I, for one, was happy to see these posts. I can't imagine what it would be like to be an LGBT kid in a household or city (or state or country) that doesn't just not accept LGBT people but actively hates them. They may feel they are alone in this world, and the joy they feel seeing there are others like them who also play the same game they love, to me, far out-weighs the minor annoyance of seeing a bunch of posts about it in the plaza.
How is "Trans people are great and valid!" brutal honesty? If the trend continues like that and burns out in the next week or two, the problem is... what, exactly? I'm trying to imagine strong opposition to people being happy and self-affirming. There's a handful of people making objectionable posts, yes, but every trend's had that, report those like I've been doing and pay the rest no mind.
I can be the most misanthropic person on the planet sometimes. I know.
I never said I was upset about it..... I'm American, which means I consistently refuse to acknowledge or learn about anything that's going on in the world, so I'm just trying to figure out where it was all coming from.
And you misread me, as I was saying this is going to keep happening. It happened with the furry stuff, it happened with the "I wish ___ was real" stuff, it happened with this, and it will happen with whatever comes next. How's that passive? The first Splatoon had the exact same trend. You're never going to have posts just about squids shooting each other with ink, and your reporting won't change this. Did you report the previous trendy posts as well, or did you start here?
To answer your last question, I reported the furry trend as well. Anyhow, I understand that there will never solely be posts about squids n stuff in the posting of this game. However, there is no moderation of the posts of splat 2 like there was in the original, because of miiverse. Reporting a post won't stop the trend, that's obvious, but it does stop the posts from showing up in the plaza.
I wasn't talking to you in particular.
I'm pretty sure that's not a valid reason to report messages. Stunts like that could get someone in trouble, but not necessarily the reported.
Seems pretty attention whorish to me.
