The title is a little misleading. RPG.net is banning PEOPLE who publicly support Trump on their forum. Look at these 5 videos. People on the left are allowed to bring their whole selves to RPG.net. People on the right are not welcomed to do the same. https://www.wsj.com/news/types/voices-from-a-divided-america https://www.wsj.com/news/types/voices-from-a-divided-america

If your "whole self" wants to dehumanize and kill entire classes of people because of their perceived race, sexual orientation, gender, etc, then I don't think it should be welcomed. Anywhere. And if your "whole self" actively supports others who espouse such views, even if you do not directly do so yourself, then while I won't go so far as to say you're as bad, you're certainly bad enough that you should also not be welcomed in that way.

  1. Conservatives and even Trump supporters don't want that. 2. Thanks for pushing normal people even further to the right.

  @danaris - Thank you for stating out loud what many people think a Trump supporter is. You summed up the stereotype very well. That's important. Now please take a few minutes and look at the people in the videos (see my previous comment) who are Trump supporters. Those are real people who support Trump. Please let me know specifically which ones are bad enough that they should not be welcomed.

    Trump espouses the views I enumerated. He supports the dehumanization of, and in some cases violence against, women, LGBT+ people, and people who are not white. Therefore, anyone supporting him also supports these things, and should not be welcomed.

      I conclude from that, that you do not welcome Scott Bowen, the Bi/Gay man in this video, to participate in conversations with you. https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-shouldnt-exist-1540823580 https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-shouldnt-exist-1540823580 I'm disappointed in you, @danaris.

        Well, I haven't watched the video (skimmed the article), but if he's a Trump supporter who's also LGBT+, then he's not only supporting fascism, nationalism, and bigotry, he's also kinda dumb for supporting an ideology that wants to eradicate him. The article says he's a fiscal conservative, so that explains why he's a Trump supporter, if he is (it doesn't actually outright state that, just says that he's a conservative), but I don't consider it to be a good enough excuse. Maybe two years ago before we knew just what kind of politician and President he would be, but not now. I understand the dilemma the Republican party has right now. Many of them don't actually believe in the horrible things that Trump supports, but feel like they don't have any choice because the Democratic party opposes so many of their policy positions. But policy should take a back seat when you're confronted with actual evil, and that's what we're dealing with right now. Nazis. Literal, not-even-slightly-kidding gas-the-Jews lynch-the-blacks ethnic-cleansing white-power Nazis are what Trump truly represents right now, and the Republican party leaders, by and large, won't even denounce them and say they don't support that shit. If you support Trump, now, you support the rise of literal Nazis, and I don't care what else you believe in or support, that's something I can't see any value in even allowing in the debate.
