Yeah Corona makes me sick and depressive. But i try to do the best of that shit, its a kind of "must" do this, to protect friends & family. From biological and evolutionary standpoint its full ok for me to live with all that restrictions ;-D but hey, do what ever u want, BUT live with the consequences.
DAMN what a mind-blowing scroll-text, cant believe it. A new LOW-Level.

many comments, so I had to read that infamous scrolltext... GI Joe just typed covid tests aren't 100% accurate and he's skeptical about the government's decision to wear masks.
well, I don't think he spread fake news like covid is an hoax or Earth is flat, so let's move on. and yes: coronavirus suxx!

Kudos my friend for being able to release while being boozed, also I encourage free speech and respect your opinion, but I'd also rather happily enjoy a fresh dose of tripper than approve your scrolltext message.

This scroller is a new low. And you should probably watch this video to understand the actual error ratio of those tests.

Freedom of Speech Disclaimer: Opinions of single members do not necessarily represent whole group.
Corona and fun, Corona and non-mainstream opinion, well... it was clear that this release provokes reactions.
In a way, I can understand iAN's reaction, especially as he's from Italy.
However, I've read through the scroll once more and found that GI-Joe _mainly_ just points out inaccuracy of some figures, nothing wrong with that imho, although I personally might not draw the same conclusions from that.
So what Jammer say bu also, freedom of speech includes GI-Joe is gonna endure that people criticize his view.

Very stupid message in the scroller. Just because you were lucky to not get infected so far doesn't mean the Covid is an hoax, it's serious and you should be always careful. |

The point was not that the issue shouldn't be discussed because it is "controversial". That would be silly indeed. The idea was just, like ZeSmasher says, that this discussion has nothing to do with the C64 scene. |

They should have sponsored that demo.... and then bomb it with napalm.
Closing the thread has nothing to do with free speech at all. Just do it :) |

Never mind :)
*forces himself to say no more as everyone knows democratic values don't apply here and even _not_ hailing CSDb moderation on anti-social networks (which I don't know shit about) can cause trouble due to ze rulez* |

Before this thread is being closed (which seems to be "in the air" kind of), I'll share my few cents on the release: while there have always been demos with controversial political or social messages, I found it quite embarrassing that upon reading the scrolltext I got hit by AN INVITATION TO AN Anit-Corona-measures demonstration. Sorry, but for me this is just like those Nazi-glorifying demos that were out there in the past.
And yes, I know how numbers and other weights calculated by RKI and other institutes & alikes work, I could start arguing with the importance of escalation models that have not been brought up until now, etc.pp., but I think this is definatly *NOT* the right content for a csdb thread, so I hereby apologize for the last sentence (but in no way for the upper one!). |

Godwins Law doesnt apply here because *there are nazis on those demos*. And not just a few. |

Funny, didn't know this, but seemingly I'm a living proof Godwin was right;))
To my "defense" *erm*: the Nazi-comparison was highly inspired by the recent discussion around Strider I read about in some other thread here on csdb (and the links given there). The emberrassment-level in my head when reading the scroller of the CorGI-demo was just like when watching the old fairlight demo with right-winged content in it (or maybe even higher). |

what GPZ sez is a well-known fact - unfortunately. Problem is there ARE moderate, left wing and even hippie like people who really protest for their opinion and are too blind to consider whether it's a good idea do so in such a crowd, let's say marching with fascists on your left and right and themselves holding up a sign "defend democracy".
All I'm saying is labelling every non-mainstream opinion "Nazi" ain't democratic (actually it's the opposite, it's what Polish/Turkish/etc. "fake news" legislation does) - and won't help to convince anyone but rather radicalize people who still might be open to arguments... |

This isnt about opinions at all - but about safety of the general public. Those ppl already showed once that they are not even planning to stay safe. Their fault. |
