so this post: https://www.thelongdark.com/news/celebrating-our-pride/

goes on about your typical let's all hold hands together, but something that's got my attention is the term they used.

i looked up that acronym highlighted here: https://i.imgur.com/0gIKpoK.png

and i get that the "+" is suppose to include everyone that isn't mentioned...except i don't feel that way. honestly it feels like, by not going out of their way to come up with a letter for me, that they're saying i'm not worth mentioning. it makes me feel like, why do i want to care about those people if i'm not even worth a letter?

i got no problem striving towards giving everyone a fair shake, but i feel like most people who flaunt this stuff are stepping on other peoples feeling, like mine, in the process by not mentioning that us white men have needs as well. give me a letter, give everyone a letter. the + symbol doesn't feel like much when you'll find alot of videos treating us like we're inherently evil. it doesn't make me feel sympathetic to anyone to feel excluded like that.

As an Attack Helicopter, I thought the + was a top down view of our rotor blades. Color me shocked!

actually i didn't think of it like that, but you're right. lol. maybe the typical people weren't meant to be represented by that at all and it's actually for things like that.

if anyone is wondering, i'm being serious. you either are for true equality, or just looking to put yourself above the "oppessors" of the world. no eclusion should be done here.

We'd all be a lot better off if we celebrated what we have in common, rather than what makes us different. I'm ready for this identity politics/pandering thing to end. It's not productive anymore. If it ever was. Just my opinion.

I'm getting the feeling you're either very young or joking/trolling...

"True equality" - as in some platonic state - cannot actually exist in the world we currently live (where humans are humans, not ideal beings). Therefore there is, was, and will be a tug-of-war between supporters of different social groups in different countries at different times. Whether it's divided by class interests, wealth, some form of intelligence or knowledge, gender etc, there will always be divisions. In this particular case the division de jour in the United States seems to be "identity politics". Someplace else it's something else.

That said, it theoretically should probably have nothing to do with a video game where you pretend to survive (and die) in pretend Canada.
