I've been warned that the Mafia is moving...
🕑 Added 2021-11-24 18:00:29 +0000 UTCIn their usual fashion and with their usual method, not less (usual arguments and usual offences thrown without a logic too)...
I just want Tumblr mob to know that:
1) I'm not reading any of that, not going out of my way for it, I have far more interesting readings to do
2) I do not retaliate
3) If you're content to address real world social issue, without actually moving to do something about it, and are just happy that your egocentrism is satisfied by being able to represent yourself in the game (less than 10% of US citizen play the game, and of this 10% not everyone cares about representation) while the rest of the world (the vast majority) suffers first hand the consequences of those problems, in my opinion you're the selfish dipshit not me, especially because the potential to do something is right there:
Let's take the Indian Fashion pack
Made to show cultural openness in the game
5€, the price of the pack, are about 400 Indian rupee, enough to buy this on Amazon:
And maybe something more in real life.
If Maxis devolved even just the 5% of the money they get by selling that pack to the development of the country, and the support of people still living in poverty to show their actual support to those cultures, instead of cashing and being happy, those money would maybe not change the life, but make things better for someone while you'd still get the inclusiveness stuff you care so much about, and guess what, a lot of people like me who aren't particularly happy to buy a kit for 4 clothes would also be more willing to spend money knowing that those money are being used to actually do something. Since Maxis belongs to a corporation, it's not a CC creator who can be justified for charging 5€ for the same pack (they're, after all, individuals who, apart from creating content, also have a life, a house, and a job or university to think about)
You potentially have the power to ask for it since Maxis is listening to you, instead you waste time writing a pile of bullshit on Tumblr and attacking someone who's not even giving a shit about your opinion.

Edit to add this one because this one... is a masterpiece:
What we can see above is the classical insult toolkit people in the Sims community so much like to use and I saw used against poor people from within the community who dared going against the flock one time too many, so here is a deep analysis:
What we can see here are terms like racist and transphobic used without a precise purpose, they get thrown at people as regular insults just because these, in these people's opinion, are the worst you can go... since the comment above shows a deep ignorance about the actual meaning of those terms, here is a glossary of what they really mean:
Example of racist comments:
Examples of transphobia:
So, if you get attacked with these kind of insinuations and you know you're not, there is no need to reply much less apologise.
By the way:
It's almost universally known that I was born as SHE but I go by HE, now not that I really care, but guess who'd qualify for the label of transphobic here:
so much for caring about pronouns.

First of all, congratulations to anonymous for picking that up, second, after shouting accusations and insinuations without a basis toward anyone doesn't agree with you people, there is hardly something to be bothered about when I do the same, a wild leap in logic is by far more justifiable that just shouting insinuations without a basis.
So when I do it is a problem, but when you do it is completely ok...

Hahah those are the attacks they use on everyone disagrees with them on something starting from on "what skin colour should Dina Caliente have" and ending with social issues. As long as they stay fucked off they can think I'm Hitler as far as I'm concerned!

I'm late to this - been away from the game/Patreon/community for the last couple of months, other than reading some of your comics - but just wanted to chime in with more support! Racist?? Transphobic?? Absolute nonsense. ILY and I hope you stick around!
