not for nothing but i think im getting like. burnt out on ppl complaining abt how much they dont like ts4

like this is not me saying that you /have/ to like it or you shouldnt criticize the things wrong w the game or the way ea wrings money out of its player base or anything. all those things are fine and good and ill never tell anyone to shut up when it comes to dragging ea cause i love that shit & have participated in that shit before myself, gleefully 

what i mean is like… yknow you go on simsecret and half the secrets are the same thing ad nauseam abt how empty the game is or how someone doesnt like the gameplay or w/e. m8, if you dont like it dont bother w it at all. we can debate all day abt the features that shouldve/should not have been included in the game & all that, but at the end of the day… if you dont play it and you dont want to play it all… why are u even like. here, namsayin? if you know you dont like the game and theres nothing in it for you (which is fine, idc if ppl play it or not, truly) then why are you here like four years later still? it just doesnt make sense to me and im tired of hearing abt it at this point

i have smth… to say. and it may be a day late, dollar short but imma say it anyway

while i understand and kind of appreciate the sentiment behind ppl posting positive messages abt loving one another regardless of differences & everything, i also think that these supremely general messages are… unhelpful, ig. this isn’t a knock at anyone specifically or a sly dig, it’s just smth that’s been on my mind since racist anons decided to make their resurgence

i just feel like… vague posts like those do nothing to address the underlying issue here. you can’t look racism in the face and tell it to just stop being racist and love one another. sure, you can give the person(s) on the receiving end messages of love and support, that’s always good, but i just think… they need to be more specific and targeted than “love each other.” does this make sense?

it’s the lack of confrontation that bothers me, i think. it’s easy to skirt the issue, refuse to name the discrimination at hand, and to me that feels like tip toeing around so you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. like let’s put the tiger on the table & yell at it: you should not be afraid to hurt the feelings of a racist. you should not even be afraid to hurt the feelings of a person who swears up and down they’re not “really racist” but still harbours racist beliefs. soft shoeing around them, trying to make sure they don’t feel /too/ called out, helps absolutely no one and does nothing to root out the culprits. it also does fuck all towards making the victims feel safe again

ik this becomes infinitely harder when the violent rhetoric is coming from someone who isn’t even brave enough to untick the anon box, but even then, imo, your posts abt supporting each other and being an accepting community should still directly address /why/ you’re making the post in the first place

if you can’t even bring yourself to say “im making this post because someone in this community was targeted by violently racist anons” then maybe… idk reconsider the message your trying to share
