Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

They actually don't demand anything from you, just don't buy it if it's not for you. That was my entire point and I'm not sure how you missed it, don't tell people not to buy Ubisoft games if that's what they enjoy? You all can play whatever niche and indie games you enjoy and others can play the new AC, live and let live.

"Just don't buy it if you don't like it" can apply to absolutely anything a consumer criticizes. It's also extremely unhelpful.

Also, that's a really strange argument from someone who also said:

it sucks to see the state of the industry as a whole right now and really hope we can get back to being respected as consumers some day.

Again, I'm not saying people can't criticize Ubisoft or AC as a franchise. I take umbrage with people saying they shouldn't spend money on things they enjoy. I see you all over Lemmy and feel like you're pretty levelheaded, am I taking crazy pills here? That was all I said in response to a comment about how "we" shouldn't buy Ubisoft trash. Look at all the weird straw men that people have replied with. I thought this place was supposed to be better than reddit.
