    Even IF Ferric got what he wanted and KI publicly claimed their support for Palestine, what good would that do? Nothing. There are so many more things that he could do to support Palestine if he really cares. It seems he wants to act morally superior to everyone with his virtue signalling, then bully those who disagree with him, it’s hypocritical and pathetic and he is in no place to lecture anyone about anything. I’m glad there are people who can understand that gaming should have ZERO to do with politics.

      Lots of famous video games and media in general have politics. In Wizard101 specifically, Polaris. It doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the game and most people don't notice unless it is spelled out to them or they disagree with the politics.

      @@pearl_solis that doesn't mean games SHOULD be political, gaming is supposed to be an escape from reality not a commentary on it.

    Thank you for this, from what I could tell a lot of the community share this sentiment, I personally have tried on the reddit to voice my opinion about keeping politics out of the game but of course it would get drowned out. Giving us a voice on this issue really goes a long way to feel heard and hopefully protect the game we all love.
    Staying silent and/or not taking sides is a completely normal and understandable response. In the first place, no situation is ever as black or white. Anakin wrongly screamed, if you aren't with me then you're against me.

    Wizard 101 is a kids game and we can argue whether or not it really is a kids game but nonetheless it’s touted as one so it should stay neutral. That being said there’s nothing wrong with people voicing an opinion, but they can’t expect other people to have that same opinion, nor can they twist the arms of the company to have that opinion. And it’s a shame because there’s a very well respected content creator now who is doing just that… I like this person I like the work he’s produced, but the twisting of KIs arm is not appropriate.

    I want to make a clarification, at 2:30 it may sound like im upset people arent demanding Israel be supported by KI. By me saying “i am having none of it” I do not mean I want people to demand support for Israel, I meant that I dont side with either of them and I dont believe KI should support either of them. I understood that this could have been misconstrued while i was editing which is why i had the popup caption show up to clarify my position. Ironically even despite that it has still been misconstrued by some.

    Almond should have been automatically removed from the KI Content program. He was banned thus illegible NOT having an account in good standing. Remember Almond was the one attacking those on the "round table" in his stream. Also NO streamer I saw attacked him. If followers did it was not the streamers. However he was the sh*tty person attacking streamers, remember!!! Also from what was reported he removed posts from his channel calling him out. For my money he was always a KI employee. Most don't know they use their employees to pretend to be players to push their agendas. It's why they go to discord now, to control the narrative. Question anything? Banned.

But which ever you support and why is political. I'm saying games shouldn't get into politics in the game. I mean if KI wants to say a statement that's fine. But Veteran celebration isn't political.

    Ki messed up the first time having a charity for Ukraine because it brought politics to a kids game, could be a thing where they’ve learned from their mistakes and are avoiding the ongoing conflicts. Either way people continually bringing politics to a game marketed for kids are odd and then targeting KI for not having a fundraiser isn’t right at all. Many games as well are avoiding addressing the issues as well because they want no involvement it’s simple.

    Politics is unavoidable. I do not say that to say we should all jump in and pick sides, I say this to emphasize that politics is all-encompassing because many people do not have the option to remove themselves and get lost in a fantasy world.
    If we can accept that the world is a shitty place and awful things happen all the time, then we have to understand that this applies to others who wish to escape from it just as much but have lost the right to because their very existence has become political.
    I've lost gaming buddies because their existence became politics without their permission. They certainly didn't ask for it, it was thrown onto them and because those who didn't have it thrown onto them were allowed to walk away, they walked away. That's to say little of minorities or women in gaming who get harassed on a daily basis for the sin of using microphones in game, or making their player model look remotely like themselves. They certainly didn't ask for anything to get political, they just wanted to escape to a fun game. But again, it was thrown onto them and because those who didn't have it thrown onto them were allowed to walk away, they walked away. It's why now in modern gaming you have such painfully loud discourse about toxicity in gaming. I've had multiple partners that were deathly afraid to unmute themselves in their favorite games because their existence was too political.
    The newest Assassin's creed is under heavy fire for having a playable black character. It doesn't matter that Ubisoft did their research and simply wished to tell a cool story about a samurai and a ninja, now the very concept of a playable black protagonist is viewed as political. The existence of a real-life historical figure has now come under fire over this. History is actively attempting to be rewritten over this. Why? Because his skin color was deemed political.
    To stay neutral is to pick a side. It sucks, but that's the nature of politics. There is no such thing as sitting out, only closing your eyes to the reality in front of you. I am not saying this to attack you or anyone else who wishes gaming could be a zero politics space. I don't know you, nor do I know them. I say this as someone who also liked staying neutral because it often hurted to get involved and see so much negative energy. But I will end on this note.
    Would you truly be happy if you saw your loved ones suffering and the communities you called home couldn't be bothered to so much as acknowledge its happening, let alone help? If people (some playing the same game you are) hated your identity to the point that simply existing in the same space was enough to make you a target of harassment, is it your fault for failing to escape and simply forget your problems? Most importantly, should we have to wait for you to become the subject of politics before we decide it's time to have a serious conversation?
    Thank you for your time.

    I don't want my videos games shoving politics in my face, even ones I agree with. I don't want charities for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, etc. I don't want emojis and nonsense for the Alphabet Soup Gang. I wouldn't want them talking about how Modern Monetary Theory is an incoherent lie, or how murdering kids in the womb is wrong, or mutilating kids for money, clout, and/or your cult is wrong, or how income and property taxes are evil. I don't want politics in my games, and anyone who says they do, is either misunderstanding the point or malicious.
    Ferric's someone I've watched for a few years. With this, he's got a serious issue of thinking he's far more intelligent and educated on the topic than he actually is. He's wrong about Wiz doing some bullshit for anyone and he's either wrong or overtly lying about the topic to try and guilt-trip ignorant people onto his side.

    But with the Israel Palestine war its complex. Its way too complex. In fact its so complex that its just better to follow a hoarde to follow rather then not. I swear I've seen people arguing about it adding the caveman era to the arguments 💀.

    Speaking out about people who are suffering and dying is not exactly politics, it’s about pointing it out to people who would rather ignore and shut themselves off from the issue. Yes it’s absolutely more comfortable to ignore the situation, but it’s something you had to do. Hitler was able to kill Jews and jevoah witnesses by having people stay silent about it. A person also does not need to be an expert in politics to see 50,000 Palestinians are being bombed and killed, while America sends billions of tax dollars to help Israel. I hope I don’t offend people with comment. But in summary being silent does lead to more deaths.

My dad actually quit playing COD for a while when all the BLM stuff was going on. Not because he didnt support it, but because he didnt like the fact his fun outlet to relax and turn off the stress was actively reminding him of things happening in the world. I fear if KI isnt careful the same thing might happen, and we will see a drop in players as well.
