Some of us just don't like talking politics on a gaming website. I see this as a problem the way we judge others based on what people think with serious matters. Imo, it's not good for a community that's already questionably toxic.
Btw, I'm padding my post with inspect element. GOML.
It's important to talk about world news. You can simply refrain from reading or posting - it's up to you if you want to participate in political discussions or not.
However, I still think a special subsection for political/controversial discussions would be a good compromise. People don't want to see sad stuff (it doesn't mean they just ignore its existence. But they don't want to hear about it 24/7. They're here to play games). Sure, they could just avoid clicking on threads, but sometimes your curiosity is stronger.
