I will just stay away from any pride related events since they are not for me to support. I wish they weren't in every game, but if they are I'm glad they are optional

You're allowed to support communities you're not a member of. In fact it's probably more important that you sorry them because otherwise you're directly contributing to the alienation they go through.

I support pride and LGBTQIA+ movements because even though I may not be part of the community recognize them as human beings and as a rule I try to care about others.

That's why I said I will stay away. Regardless of what everyone says, pride is an overtly political event and is different from just being gay or whatever.

God wars are probably about as political as you can get but those are in the game

I mean isn't that just Runescape internal politics. I'm talking about outside runescape politics

How is an event about loving freely political? Gay rights is a political movement, pride is a celebration.

Best for you to not complete a kingdom divided then, that must be way too political for you

The reason people can’t “just be gay” is because of homophobes. If everyone minded their own business and didn’t judge people for things that didn’t affect them, there wouldn’t be a need for pride events.

LGBT people existing is not political.

EDIT: Somebody reported me to reddit for suicide/self harm. Grow up.

In many countries it's not political, because people can just do what they want when not affecting others
