!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.

I had to look this up. It's from 2013 and it's a blog post, but it's real:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2013/oct/03/red-cross-players-accountable-war-crimes
Then they got an Arma DLC which is effectively a red cross training course [story]
Over a decade of knee-jerk gamers responding without reading the article, how time flies
It's stuff like this getting flung around that helps me remember no one cares about reality
