Discussions on controversial themes.

[GrahamRoll]

Hey!

I wanted to know the general opinion on discussions concerning controversial themes in global, which do not violate any rules although they are seemingly forbidden because of the topic which is absolute nonsense, proved by a mute for not actually violating a single chat rule but just because a staff member disliked it. I feel that talking about certain topics, mainly topics which are interesting although controversial, should be allowed, and there's absolutely no reason not to if they don't violate the rules. Let me know your opinion. And please refrain from talking about this being a certain type of game. I am talking about general chat, which has it's own rules and doesn't have to relate to the game at all.

Thank you <3

When you're asked to drop a topic, especially one that gets people as riled up as racism, please do so in the future. It's not a big ask.
