"No Politics" as a rule in chats groups, fandom spaces, etc is political because it implies politics is removal from everyday life

This inherntly makes it hard to get people on board about making politics known

People will benefit from making politics known and
acted upon yes. However, if someone thinks no politics is fine in the first place, it means they must think politics isnt around them

It's hard to show politics is around someone if they don't care to see it

"Sometimes you just want to have fun koor. Not get bumbed out"
Sure, we all need our personal fun spaces, however you can just make the rule "Primarily here to have fun"

That way if a topic is brought up in fun space, you can go "here's a source if you'd like to engage in that topic, we're not here today to talk about that"

Ya still shut
down the politics while being more proactive then "No politics in x" *kick*

Also when people are making lgbtq+ jokes, there are also people saying the gays need to be "removed society"

Who you keep and allow to be vocal about their jokes in a chat will say a lot
If you've said "Fuck Trump" recently and lost a lot of support, there's a high chance your audience was thrown off by you saying that

It shouldnt be a surprise what you'd say when it comes to a topic like that and you're living in the USA

That silence is political itself
The result is going to be a backlash

Honesty is hard but it ultimately better

Silence will make you a lot more popular at the cost of allow harm to come to people

You dont have to shout 24/7 if you have a platform, but you gotta use your platform for the benefit of many
Also any vocal creator will get general backlash for being vocal

Opinions will attract other opinions

If you've had a platform for long enough, you should have an idea about how you'll respond

Most y'all know to respond to "do you rp?" yet dont know how to respond to racism?
