I could understand this sort of pre-emptive vigilance if the game community in question was new, or at risk of being inundated with young players, but that simply is not the case with W:A and never will be. I personally couldn't care less if the off-topic forum gets removed, but I do think it would be a shame because it's probably the most interesting sub-forum on this site because it's not all about Worms.

Regarding what I've personally said: I simply don't care if anyone gets offended or not. In fact, I think that being genuinely 'offended' by something you read on the internet is a hallmark of a weak person. We are communicating to each other internationally using aliases and avatars on a game forum dedicated to a 20+ year old game of cartoon worms blowing each other up with ridiculous weapons. If you get offended by anything you read on this site, I find that ridiculously pathetic.

"Wokeism" is trash and needs to end. People have different opinions, and just because *your* opinions might currently be on the side of what is socially acceptable (as promoted by the media / social media), that doesn't mean they are any more valid than those of another. People also love to jump to conclusions and accuse people of this and that based upon their knee-jerk reactions to what someone says, and I find it all so nauseating and dumb. Morals and values are not universal.

Depends on what 'influential' means. There's a lot of people who stood out for various reasons.
