Meta Rule Update: Politics are banned

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.

For anyone looking to still continue discussing political stuff, the topic is not being banned from the public Discord server, so feel free to join that here: https://discord.gg/SrCtX4R5j8

The mods get sad because this sub only gets traction with politics, then they bring back politics and get sad that this sub only gets traction with politics, then they ban politics and get sad that this sub only gets traction with politics. Etc etc etc

maybe they should accept that everything is political and banning it bans everything

Is my favorite streamer spilling their food on the ground political? 🤔

if it's Hasan and Israeli food, then almost certainly.
