I'd like to see the option to add Christmas lights which I would add along the main shopping strips.

Other options could include decorations to create a China Town district and general advertising flags on lampposts that are often seen along main streets. Perhaps Pride flags, that sorta thing.

Ideally you could specify when they appear...so that China Town decs are permanent but Christmas lights are seasonal.

That would be amazing.

I'd love to make my city look like it's pride season

I could see a Festivals DLC where you could set each festival as a Policy. The more you have, the more it costs the city, but it also attracts tourists, increases happiness, and helps local businesses out. I could see it being a district-related policy so you could have only certain neighborhoods celebrating.

pride isnt a festival but ok

unless ur talking abt national pride like patriotism

#

thats fine but we dont need real world issues in games ngl

no a season is 3 months

#

pride month is 1 month

#

NOT a season

light birch
#

Pride month is all year if you are a real one

#

:3

harsh oak
#

im not a real one

#

its a month taken to celebrate peoples funky time in bed doesnt need a whole year

light birch
#

It's a political protest for rights in the first place

harsh oak
#

im not going to continue with this as i have better things to do but i believe that pride isnt a season and aslo it should not be integrated into the game

No, come back....tell us more about why Pride shouldn't feature in the game as an option for those who'd like it there. Celebrating 'rainbow peeps' and their 'funky time in bed' - you chose to come here, pick out the one thing you don't like, and talk it down. If you don't like a game with 'real world issues' then go play another game - this one has car crashes, natural disasters, taxes, sewage.

harsh oak
#

It's not a real world issue

#

And I dont want to continue this argument I'm allowed to have opinions right?

#

U can too

#

Also pride doesn't equate in any way too natural disasters tf u on abt idk

#

Pride is a combination of people questioning their sexual identities, accepting different cultures and races and all the others in the mix

#

Natural disasters cost people their lives, level historical monuments, cause millions in property damage

#

U can't be comparing that to a festival abt the rainbow people.

#

Now leave it there I'm done with this post or what not

Holidays like Christmas are okay to add because its something that a majority celebrates and is a single holiday around a single subject. Pride however is a conglomerate of people coming together, however if you add a celebration for a specific peoples group then you would also need black history month, hispanic heritage month, asian pacific islander heritage month, etc. Add those but then someone’s going to get offended their ethnicity isnt celebrated in game (knowing this world someone might carry out a racism lawsuit though they probably wouldnt win) + this is a lot of content to add. Also Christmas isn’t as controversial as Pride month is

Prides not really controversial, there is just a tiny vocal minority against it.

Out of 3.6million people, well above 500.000 attended my cities pride event

Worldwide around 2.3 Billion people celebrate Christmas
(Not really a majority)

If we compare theese two numbers for example, which of course isn't that straight forward cause it's a city vs the world, but still, let's pretend.

Christmas isn't more important pride.

#

Since we are currently at around 10% queer people worldwide, and its set to rise, I'd argue pride, and making a statement for their rights, is much more important than Christmas.

#

Adding pride would probably just add cute rainbow street decorations and fancy parades, wouldn't that be great.

Also, you say 10% of the population is queer therefore you should celebrate it but in the same time you say that Christmas is 2 billion (25%) and say thats not a majority. Not only are you wrong, because 80% of the worlds countries have Christmas as a national holiday, but if you argue we cant celebrate christmas then theres no way we could support pride in game

Also you voided my entire argument with months such as black history

#

Why is that?

light birch
#

i just disagree with the point that its hard to implement

light birch
#

i would say, especially in the western world, most problems of queer people can be blamed on christianity

i still dont get why you are against pride month in cs2 tho

you could add fun rainbows everywhere

make the city more colorful

#

I’m not against it, but the idea is representing a small minority of people. There are updates thatd make everyone happy, not a small group

Or a white heritage month because a good half or more of the fanbase is white, sure they would love it

How so?

Youre letting a small minority taint a whole group, thats racism

#

Industrial revolution is the reason youre on your device arguing that white people are oppresive

#

also fun fact, most of the time the media talks about queer school shooters, its later proven they arent even queer, its fearmongering

foggy totem
#

What I did was use a small minority of the people comitting the crime and used that as an argument, which is exactly what you did when you said the whites were oppresive colonisers.

#

My great grandfather served as a slave in Karelia when the Russian Empire was still a thing. He was white, is he still an oppresive coloniser?

#

So youre grouping people

#

Thats racism

light birch
foggy totem
#

Because theres a ton more white ethnic groups I could name that had little to no history of being a free country

#

A quarter those on there were occupied for centuries by the ottoman turks

#

The Ottom turks of course, used many as slaves in their empire

#

Also not to mention it was a very small minority of British, Spanish, French, etc that actually colonised

#

The French for one, werent oppresive when they did, setting up trade routes and alliances with many of the American Indian tribes

#

But I can rant on and on about the warcrimes the Japanese commited, or the current persecution of people groups in China, etc

i literally just watched a lecture on that a week ago

The Franco-Indigenous Alliance was an alliance between North American indigenous nations and the French, centered on the Great Lakes and the Illinois country during the French and Indian War (1754–1763). The alliance involved French settlers on the one side, and indigenous peoples such as the Abenaki, Odawa, Menominee, Winnebago, Mississauga, Il...

Various Franco-Indian Alliances were formed between France and various Indian kingdoms from the 18th century to the ascent of Napoleon. Following the alliances of Dupleix, a formal alliance was formed between by King Louis XVI during the American Revolutionary War in an attempt to oust the British East India Company from the Indian subcontinent....

The Indian Trade refers to historic trade between Europeans and their North American descendants and the Indigenous people of North America, and the First Nations in Canada, beginning before the colonial period, continuing through the 19th century and declining around 1937.

in places they colonized

#

well then dont make the general statement that they were not opressive

foggy totem
#

Who is they?

light birch
foggy totem
#

Fair, a few people did some bad things

#

A whole people group did not

#

Can you understand that?

#

Also you voided a ton of other things I said

light birch
#

because i lack the historical knowledge about some nations to agree or deny them

foggy totem
#

Then you have no right to argue history

#

Because history is a conglomerate of actions by everyone, everwhere

light birch
#

ahh yeah, i need to know everything to argue history

#

because you defiently know everything

foggy totem
#

I will say, it is showing

light birch
#

about some of the nations you mentioned? yes

foggy totem
#

Glad to know Poland is irrelevant then

#

Same with Japan and China

#

Why didnt you learn about those countries? Not important to you?

light birch
#

you are constantly putting words in my mouth

#

this is not a healthy debate and thus im leaving it

foggy totem
light birch
#

no point in arguing someone who twists my words

#

Anyways, pride decorations should definetly be added :3

foggy totem
#

voids my arguments
openly states not having proper knowledge of debate
puts words into my mouth
then victimizes themself when I ask a question, saying I put words in their mouth
ignores 3 wikipedia articles cited by hundreds of reputable sources
“ew white history month” a clear example of racism

light birch
#

because i dont know the history of sardinia???

foggy totem
#

“this is not a healthy debate and thus im leaving it”

#

still here

light birch
#

you have put words in my mouth

#

when did i say i dont know about poland, or japan or china

#

i said i lack the historical knowledge about some nations

foggy totem
#

Then go respond to my point about Japan and China

light birch
#

i know about the japanese warcrimes and the chinese persecution

foggy totem
light birch
#

i dont deny that point

But europeans where the ones that did it almost globally

foggy totem
#

Thats because of wallersteins world systems theory

#

One people group was going to do it globally, inevitably. If it was the Zulu or another historically oppresive group that managed, we’d be arguing about if they are good people

light birch
#

crazy how we got here, just because i said im against a white heritage month

foggy totem
#

Mhm

#

Anyways being against a peoples heritage month is undoubtely racist just so you know

light birch
#

i disagree

foggy totem
#

How so

light birch
#

imagine what a disrespect that would be to the people celebrating black history month, where its about the voices of opressed people

#

and then there is a white heritage month

#

white heritage doesnt need a specific month, because its everywhere anyways

#

meanwhile we should cherish and keep alive the history of opressed groups, that usually dont have their voices heard

foggy totem
#

Finns are white, have been historically oppressed, whats wrong with a white history month?

#

Same with the Polish

#

And Romanians

#

Could go on and on again

#

Besides, who are you to speak for minorities?

light birch
#

ooops, two big minorities

foggy totem
#

Okay? I’m gay, I have a boyfriend. I also have dissociative idenity disorder

#

Two minorites right there

#

So no, that doesnt matter

light birch
#

i dont get your point?

foggy totem
#

My point is that your sexuality and disability are not important in this

#

because you are speaking for ethnic minorities

light birch
#

whats wrong with that

#

ooops

#

nothing

# foggy totem Whats pluralkit exactly?

its a discord bot for people with dissociative identity disorders which allows them to chat with different alters as different proxys.

That sounds like an amazing idea

We don't need real life problems in this game

Sorry to the rainbow people and those who advocate for all rights and all matters but u gotta remember

#

the paradox universe

#

IS NOT EARTH

#

So it's not got the bullshit of real life

#

IT'S A CITY SIM NOT FUCKING TWITTER

#

Pride is less important then Christmas and accept that

#

Gosh damn people arguing abt genders and pride parades

#

And also why don't we just not have any months

#

Everyone happy

#

None of that Twitter bullshit I'm white and I don't need a month most of us just exist on this planet what happened is what happened u can't change the past

#

A

#

And festivals and parades ain't gonna do nothing

#

Also one last thing there are most definitely not 10% of the human population who are queer

#

More like 0.6%

#

💀

#

Pride arguments in a city sim keep to Twitter people we don't want this bullshit here
