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.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

I don’t remember Saudi Arabia bombing and massacring in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Iran. The news of the bombings at the time must have made EA staffs feel progressive.
Dude. Prince bonesaw.
Whataboutism is the refuge of the spectacularly ill-informed.
Try harder, for all our sakes.
No, I'm just sneering at self-satisfied Americans in 'ALL' on lemmy as always but not notice name and rules of the sub.
So your facts are more or less correct depending on the sub you're in?
Sounds like you've got much larger problems than whataboutism, my propagandist friend.
The Saudis actually have run assassination campaigns that we know about it. They hired American Firms to do the dirty work even.
I am trying to remember, this was in the news some years back, 5 at least I think, reuters. It was well before the Yemen War if I recall, which has been going on forever it seems. Search engines won't find it for me now with the enshitification.
As a small note: just because they don't bomb other countries on a daily basis for sport or fun, doesn't mean they aren't a shitty theocracy that lives in the medieval age.
Only if you discount Saudi Arabia's proxy war in Yemen and let's not even talk about Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State which got tons of money and resources from Saudi Arabia...
Right. And where did 15/19 of the 9/11 hijackers come from again?
“Never forget” my fucking ass.
