Because this is a forum for talk about the game not about politics.

they ban people due to toxicity, they close threads due to it being too contreversal.
this is true but it goes out of control because these people are deluding themselves into thinking we arent allowed to talk about it on the forums, and are then flagging our posts and harassing us a clear statement and addition in the code of conduct would help.

thats not what all the moderators that have closed threads have said they always state the reason for it being the toxicity
I agree. The issue is, no one is really trying to āforceā beliefs by making these topics. However, many see it that way, and that saddens me. Whatās wrong with talking about a certain aspect of yourself? Surely this wouldnāt happen if someone said āWe need more brunette heroes in the game!ā - it would be dismissed as spam, or it would spark some discussion.
As soon as it comes to race, ability, gender, sexuality - no can do. Most people see topics discussing these and enter the thread expecting chaos (and theyāre right.)
Most of these threads get closed for toxicity and itās a damn shame. What happened to āif you donāt like it, click away.ā ?
I wish people would understand that, and I wish we could understand each other and have civil conversations. But weāve got a long way to goā¦

they have clarifications. insulting or demeaning someone based on race, orientation, body type etc, is all bannable.
disagreeing with a person on a topic about homosexuality, however, is not homophobia. People merly call it that because they want to try and make them seem like a bad person for disagreeing.

no mod has said that. provide me a link.
this thread just seems bad to me because you are demanding action.
If any action is taken it could split the forums even worse than not saying anything at all and just closing all threads due to toxicity which they all lead into.
To be fair, everyone is entitled to their beliefs and opinions, and saying that blizzard should just shut down opposition is a little absurd.
Iām sure blizzard wants to create an environment that promotes civil discussion, which does mean that no matter what you post, you might face opposition or people who disagree with you. If they say that people cannot disagree with your views, then that is actively fighting against the nature of free speech.

Almost every LGBT thread that is related to Overwatch here is locked. Itās unfortunate that the community is punished for what is the fault of homophobes 99% of the time. Ironicā¦
