Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I always felt uncomfortable with how you see a terrorist in game but on the other end of the internet was another person seeing themselves as the americans.
very "you will kill who we tell you to kill and not worry about it"
Exactly. I actually heard on forums at the time that the game was actually acting as an anti-recruitment tool because of things like that. It was strangely trendsetting and ahead of the game in a lot of things that later milsims would adopt.
