Why do some people ignore all context for some sort of "gotcha" moment?

if you want a thread deleted, either push the discussion in that direction or get your FC to mass report every post, both work

They are quick to delete threads with spoilers in the title, as well.

Look,

I'm gay and I unironically understand your struggles, particularly when you said people don't understand. There is too often no mutual recognition.

But the forums are the last place to debate this, not because I think game forums should only be for games (that's a self-serving argument for people to cherrypick topics that they like). It's that it doesn't encourage mutual recognition, nor does it reward existential authenticity.

You can either be a Stoic and retreat inwards, or you can live authentically and assert your self-being externally, in the real world. But the forums, really?

It's not that there's a time and place for everything. I'm not about useless platitudes like those. It's that it is completely pointless to talk about anything seriously to 99% of humanity. For my part, the LGBT threads that someone made over the years have convinced me that the termites are never gone, they've just retreated into the core, the collective unconscious, with polite society as the bastion to ward themselves with.

Knowing this, why do you care? Who do you seek to change? On the forums no less? Direct your energy at something more worthwhile.

For real LOL. Best content when there's a content drought in game.

Or when you have to entertain yourself during Queuewalker.

I am starting to think (certain) discords have ruined a whole generation of players. Thankfully we have this (satirical) brocord to lead us back.

Bros...there may be a non bro among us.

Funny.

Although, no need to stoop to their level to prove a point. It's clearly obvious how asinine a 'female only' group is; the overt display of how ridiculous a 'bros only' server is really isn't needed.

Except just from some of the posts in this thread, a bros only server looks to be entertaining. Though satire, there are people having fun in this thread. Exactly what I would expect to see from a “bro” community

And yet again you can be sure that it's probably not inhabated by sexual offenders and predators. Most of us just want to enjoy ourselves and play video games to wind down. Y'know, enjoy life and good vidya.

First, I will provide more information about our server and allow you to get you more clear about the server:

1. The FFXIV Bros Only server is an egalitarian haven for guys (bros) through which they may interact with fellow bros within the community.
2. The FFXIV Bros Only server aims to foster a safe space for bros playing FFXIV, and to create a medium through which they may interact with other like minded individuals.
3. The main goal of this server is to provide a multifaceted, grassroots network for bros, whereby they may garner friendships while striving for excellence within FFXIV.

If this is of interest to you, or if you hope to improve aspects of your gameplay (as a bro) the link is here:

https://discord.gg/r3mrze2P

Hope to see you there, bros!

Has anyone asked if a girl could be a bro. Just checking because while it has an obvious male connotation, modern day slang has blurred male and female terms a bit and it may be more about how someone portrays themselves, e.g. "she's one of the bros." So is qualification for being a "bro" based more on how someone acts rather than what gender they are?

Yeah, can a fembro join? Or is it a boys only server?

I don't see why there would be a problem.

Just have to assimilate to the bro culture and leave your feminine worries behind. Crack open a cold one and talk about some dope ass video games with the bros.

What about the UK equivalent of a bro, also known as a bruv. Are they allowed to join?

I do believe a female bro is referred to as a 'Brodette'.

But yes, the more the merrier. Everyone of any sex, race, or creed can be a Bro.

O-oh... I want to join too ;w;
But...
*Shy*.

Edit: O-okay, I'm officially a bro now! -nervous as hell-.

That could be said about any single person in this thread and pretty much every thread on this forum. Waiting in queues, not at a place where we can play, whatever. It's just wasting time no matter what we're talking about. I wasn't throwing a fit about anything, I made a statement and then people started responding, so I responded in kind.

It's really not that deep and I have no problems talking about LGBT topics, I don't think there's any reason not to talk about LGBT topics - and specifically telling people they shouldn't talk about LGBT topics is generally a reason why you should talk about LGBT topics, or any other topic that people tell you "doesn't matter" or "doesn't belong." No one should be silenced just because some anti on the internet gets in their feelings about it.

Plus, hearing that LGBT people would be tolerable if they were all just like Neil Patrick Harris is such a goofy take that it should make anyone laugh.

When this is your entire being. Your seemingly only reason for existence. It’s sad. There is a time and a place for such topics. You are mistaken to think it is every time in absolutely any place.
Some people are tired of these topics being brought up ALL THE TIME. In every aspect of our daily lives. Being shoved down our throats. Give it a rest and find a like minded community willing to banter about these things with you. Don’t force it into every discussion. It’s unnecessary

Aside from trolls attempting to derail our grassroots movement, I'm glad so many bros have come to interact with the community!
