Hey all,
Politics has been a bit of a hot topic for being partially allowed here on TG, both inside and outside of our community. It was allowed because we do believe that having a variety of perspectives allows one to make informed decisions and this applies as much on Therianthropy as it does on other subjects that might be important to people who frequent TG.
And while many of you have said that taking part in these conversations on politics has taught you interesting and useful life skills, it has also hurt a lot of people along the way and culminated in an implosion fitting of 2020.
The cause of this we believe was because as people, we often fail to see things from other people's perspectives. And given our experiences with this to date, it seems there is no quick fix to this, other than to simply avoid discussing politics altogether.
Therefore, we are now changing this policy and banning all discussion of politics on TG (this is the way it used to be). If the outcome of elections impacts you personally, you are allowed to vent about it by making a thread in the
Life issues & support forum.
However discussing politics or politically charged topics elsewhere, especially in Discord, will result in a warning. 4 warnings result in a temporary ban, and we will enforce this strictly.
We
do consider gender identity politics or cancel culture to be politics.
I extend a public apology to all the people who have been hurt by the politics debates. I would ask that nobody make assumptions about people on TG because of political reasons. We all have very varied perspectives and opinions and there is no way to describe everything we believe in with a camp or color.
LP,
Dusty
