Posts like these are buzzkills. We come to the forum to escape news about how much of a poo filled country we live in so I'm gonna take my own advice and move onto something pregnancy related.

So why comment in the post to begin with? We don't need to know that you're not going to participate in the conversation.

 Whenever I post something you guys don’t agree with you make sure you let me know how wrong I am just like you decided to do with your comment. Why not let me give my opinion and if you don’t like it move on?

I feel a need to be a devil's advocate here. Did we just forget about the MASSIVE protests that took place in several cities across the country a few weeks ago? Protests with tens to hundreds of thousands of people(young people) packed tightly together with many NOT wearing masks? It seems to me that the protests likely aided in re spreading the virus. Now, consider this. It is easy to say "KEEP THE COUNTRY CLOSED" when you have a source of income or job you do remotely. What about those who don't? For that person, reopening the economy is about keeping a roof their heads and supporting their family. This isn't just about "I wish to have a haircut". I for one like that our system is decentralized(kind of goes against the Trump is a dictator narrative). It keeps the power of federal government in check at least somewhat.

the right wing narrative that protests are responsible for a uptick in cases has been disproven.

Apparently this place doesn't like to bring up police brutality or racism (but is okay with discussing covid-19 and how shitty their presidents/governors are)

Racism is its own issue that many of us, including the forum staff, have decided that it is best we avoid it.

Plenty are passionate on both sides. So, it is easier to discuss this because the virus itself is not a political problem, but the response is however. I just try to stay out of it because I try to turn to better communities than a pregnancy fetish forum to discuss politics, because they don’t directly relate to pregnancy. Not much of a reason to debate or vent in my opinion because there’s better places out there across the web.

Open Discussion is open discussion, but we can’t afford trolling associated with racism and other sensitive topics in order to maintain a civil and cohesive community. That’s why I don’t engage in the politicking that much anymore on here because I’ve seen how bad it can get everywhere else on the internet.

Expect for that 1 idiot who did nothing but blame all of China for the virus and even went so far to post a meme of some anime girl bombing the whole country. Or the several comments about it being the "Kung-Flu". You can't deny that this thread doesn't have it's fair share of racism brought up.




And it doesn't even stop at this thread considering this site low-key has racist members that the mods/admin have done nothing about

So instead of correcting the issue, you want to just sweep it under the rug and "ignore" it? It's no wonder this site never learns from it's mistakes.....
