No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Last few generations each started accepting different types of people that the previous generation didn't, some stopped evolving pass that point.

It went something like

POC > LGB > T > genders

I know people of my generation mostly don't have an issue with trans but some can't understand the concept of other types of genders. When talking to my aunt that's 10 years older than me she has a hard time understand trans but she would never question gay rights, when talking to my young cousins they learn about gender acceptance in school now...

At the same time, I talk to my mother who's a last year boomer and she's like "Whatever float your boat, as long as you're happy with who you are then I'm happy for you!"

There was a trans positive Love Boat episode and Christine Jorgensen back in the 70s. So the acceptance was there, but the religious right had to fuck it all up.

I wonder how mainstream the acceptance was at that point compared to the 2000s though...
