Very disappointing decision 2.0

[Syd Thrift]

I said this before and I’ll say it again: far and away the quickest to offend are IME the ones who cry about “wokeness”, and the quickest to refuse to purchase a product or engage in straight up stupidity like buying a bad product because they agree with the creator’s politics (for example, those square pillows) are the ones who cry about “cancel culture”. Where was this whine about cancellation when Colin Kaepernick couldn’t get a job? Or the Dixie Chicks back in the day? It sure seems like the terms are only trotted out when people whose politics you don’t agree with engage in this behavior…

I mean, look, buy what you want to buy or vice versa. They aren’t my dollars and capitalism does allow you to spend money where you want. Just don’t act like you’re anything but the petulant little snowflake you accuse certain others of being when you throw around your dog whistle language.

I know it will never make a difference, but hopefully maybe someday the people responsible for this will understand that all people here wanted was a more immersive baseball world, and may have actually learned more about Japanese baseball culture and leagues, as I know I did.

If this is the way they want to play it however, I can (in a very small way) do the same. If they don't want real-world Japanese leagues in OOTP, then maybe I don't want anything Japanese in my leagues either! (as it pertains to baseball)

You should also remove weather from your saves since you also don’t believe in that.

I understand your problem with what happened to Japan psu and I wasn't directing my comments towards you. You have the right to be mad because your game was impacted by the deletion of the league. There is a whole lot of moderation and apologies for people on here lately when it is just words and opinions is all I'm saying.

Thanks for the kind words syd. I appreciate a good scolding on my behavior every once in a while. I'm not saying cancel culture wasn't in existence when those events happened. I am just saying that the idea of people being canceled is a stupid thing to me. People chose their own actions in many situations and I for one am fine with whatever happens in general. My opinion of you or anyone else does not matter. My willingness to buy the game wasn't affected by the removal of the league. And also my willingness to buy the game has no affect on the makers of the game because the 1 potential loss in sales does nothing to their bottom line. I am personally not as bad as my rant seemed but people can take my words however they are interpreted.

At least in the Dixie Chicks case, people bought the album(s) so they could burn them and shot them back to the top of the charts.

I went the other way with it. All my saves are 100% Japanese now. Well, 95%… I’m generating 6 established International FA’s out of South Africa each season. Getting a lot of good talent out of Cape Town and Durban.

Also, don’t sleep on Johannesburg - I’ve already pulled two solid knuckleballers out of that city.

Go, go Yokohama Gulls! Ca-caw, Ca-caw!

You can throw the baby out with the bathwater if you want, but I have created a generic Japanese league and hardly notice the difference.

The only person you are spiting is yourself.

I understand some people's feelings may get hurt by people with strong words or anything that doesn't agree with their opinions, but I'm so sick of people always apologizing to someone. Say what you want to say, own your words and actions. Brantley Gilbert said it best, ask forgiveness before I ask permission. My opinion, my words are my thoughts and beliefs. I'm going to say them and if you don't agree with me, well you are entitled to your opinion. That doesn't mean we are enemies or that we can't agree on other things. I'm surely not apologizing for having and stating my own opinions. If something I say or do is proven to be wrong or hurtful I will ask for forgiveness or apologize. But just because our opinions differ, that doesn't mean I'm going to back down or change my stance just so you will quit crying and playing the victim. This world needs to either grow a pair or use the ones that their wives, girlfriends, or the sensitive nancy have in their pockets. The world is being spayed and neutered by this woke & cancel culture bull****.

Please please please, change the news channel! I think it is doing permanent damage.

Will do Mat thanks for the advice...

There’s a Carly Simon song about this, I think. C’mon, dude. Elastic Man couldn’t stretch this thin. You have to know that’s not what’s happening there. Let’s not turn this into another locked thread due to the imaginary “dogpile” rule.

Fair enough...but I do think that just because someone uses the word "woke" to describe a philosophy doesn't make them a bigot. After all, it was the "woke" people themselves who originally coined the term to start with. Now that people oblige in using it, some people take offense to it anyway.




That's all I am going to say on the subject, and I agree...don't want to go down the path of another needed thread closing.
