!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

In all seriousness, obviously I can't speak for all, but I love you guys. My own french language skills may suck, but I'm glad you're part of our country and I appreciate your distinctiveness and all the other things you bring to the table for us. I think Quebec in particular deserves a lot of credit for preventing the rest of us from becoming so easily Americanized that we would've actually ended up the 51st state eventually. Culture's a hell of a weapon, and you guys defend yours fiercely, and that's both understandable and awesome in my books. Any teasing is directed mainly at my fellow anglos, and I know from personal experience that some Albertans can be real bigots, so that fits what I saw in my few decades living there too. I hope it's sufficiently clear that my comment is a joke and that it's coming from a place of love.
Worry not! It was my single bad experience in two and a half year in the NWT / Northern AB area.
And we also got our fair share of bigots. They seem to be everywhere these days, and borders don't seem to matter in how they proliferate.
