Old School Runescape's Pride Month Event
Old School Runescape's current pride event is causing a lot of controversy, mainly because players believe unfitting for the game. I'm certainly not anti-LGBT+ (I'm pro-LGBT+, in fact), but I do somewhat agree with them; it's unfitting for the game's theme. They also broke one of their own core values by changing content in the game without community voting. And as shown by this poll, it wouldn't have gone through if they did.
What're everyone's thoughts on this matter? Should Old School Runescape be adding this event, or do you think it's unfitting? Do you think OSRS is pushing their beliefs, or do you believe the community is overreacting?

I mean, real life places are covered in rainbows right now too.
I wouldn't particularly mind pride flags and such in my online games, particularly those that celebrate seasonal holidays, because Pride Month is itself becoming more and more a major yearly event.

I didn't realize people cared that much about rainbows.

Re: Old School Runescape's Pride Month Event
nobody cares if some neckbeards cry about rainbows though, get progressive or get out
also lame, triert would make this much more dramatic and we'd have banter and there'd be monologues that we all try and decipher

Anti-consumerism doesn't come free

You can do without the neckbeard comment but your contempt for people who think differently than you do leaks out of you every chance you get.
Back to the topic, this was dumb, really dumb, the reason why they did it can only be reasoned as a desperate attempt to get more players and stay relevant. They didn't give a single crap about the people who played their game and outright ignored what they had to say by lying and saying "the majority is okay with this, it's only a vocal minority that isn't." Then you have the poll that outright says they were full of it.
I'm glad I'm seeing it all erupt as an outsider, I played WoW growing up instead.

Re: Old School Runescape's Pride Month Event
there's my man
lmao anti-consumerism, you make me giggle. it's not like a legally binding vote, some guys who they clearly don't take seriously because their anti-pride complex just got overruled, i just don't care, and i'd wager most people don't either because it just looks like a nerd tantrum from the outside, no contempt or whatever you're rambling about needed. this wasn't like a vote on dynamically changing the game or how it operates. it's a knee-jerk anxiety attack. and also we lgbt people don't flock to stuff because we saw a rainbow nor is anything about old runescape "relevant" anyway, so what are you on about tho
u need more chill...

I hate making people angry but I hope you do realize that not everyone is a liberal and you can't change every single person's mind like that

Re: Old School Runescape's Pride Month Event
i'm not interested in changing minds tho
just saying nobody cares about some nerds with that kinda complex and they'll either get over it or some balding dudes will rant on yt for a little while and get made fun of for cluttering news that matters. also it's a temporary aesthetic change on an old game that's so dated whatever "atmosphere" it has is nonexistent
ultimately i don't care but it's fascinating darling, ain't nothing personal.

I know you and a lot of other lgbt don't, do you have any idea how annoying it gets seeing companies think any of you actually care this much about any kind of publicity stunts they pull?
"lmao anti-consumerism you make me giggle"
Not as much as I laugh every single time a company tries this kind of approach and it blows up in their face when they wind up losing their old fans and having no new ones to replace them.
I can trust batty isn't trying to changes anyones mind, this is just how she is by default. It's an aggressive liberal stonkgirl talk that should really only be taken only so seriously here. She's not trying to changes anyones mind, she's openly and outright insulting and proudly so with her choice of words.
