Well, shit...
I'm not usually political on my blog because for me The Sims is escapism, however that doesn't mean I'm not personally political. After what happened recently in the USA I wanted to extend my heart felt sympathy for my American simmers and let you know that this blog is a safe space. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and bigotry can fully get in the bin.
I know at this point in time you may feel defeated. It's so incredibly difficult to watch hateful, undeserving people not only get away with being awful, but actually be rewarded for it with money, fame and success. But there's something I want you to keep in mind - progress has ALWAYS triumphed over conservatism. Conservatives exist to hold progression back, but throughout human history we have never stopped progressing. Innovation requires progressive attitudes, and all conservatism succeeds in doing is putting a temporary constraint on a guaranteed eventuality.
Let the hate eat those losers alive, let them wallow in their manufactured paranoia, let them continue to shout into their pathetic echo chambers. In the meantime we keep chipping ahead and in between that, we share silly content from our favourite game and come together into a positive community full of vibrant and creative people.
