Basic questions that need to be asked
I have been playing Apex Legends since it came out and I love the game. I have had no issue with buying in-game content because I love playing this game and don't mind supporting a game that I play a...

Oh no not this again. Lastly, the guy making the badge is obviously not the same guy fixing the servers.
Most Fathers don’t have to argue for basic human rights, most LGBTQ+ people still do. So you’re making a super false equivalency, OP
Completely false statement. Also, I seem to notice everyone is completely avoiding my simple questions. Why is it so important to push political narratives and individual life styles and choices on players of a video game rather than say fix issues and bugs in the game and the servers? There are so many different issues going on and bugs that make the game just not even worth playing, nevertheless, I can have politic narratives, social issues, and peoples life styles put in my face with no interference? Just to reiterate, I love the game (when it's playable and not bugged) but I don't like being essentially forced to see the politics and other peoples life choices that, for whatever reason, seem to be the priority of this game. This is a video game. How is there not enough divisiveness and political correctness garbage in the world? Can't that stuff be left out of video games and people just have fun playing a battle royale?
@Reaper-of-MeIt is a waste of time to try to make a point on that subject. I mean look at KelRiever saying that they dont have basic human rights. Homeless and poor people in 3rd world countries doesnt have basic Human rights but i dont see them pushing for a change in that regard. Hypocrites everywhere.
And in regards of Companies pushing this, well they seem to be too dependant on social media.
Who is pushing/forcing this content that you speak of on you?
This is a free to play game that you have Chosen to play, the choice is all yours, if you do not like the content etc you can always choose not to play, you are not being forced to play.
I agree that there are a lot of bugs and such that need to be addressed.
Here at the Forum we try to look at the game and the gaming environment as a whole and how it can be made better for the whole gaming community, not one individual, country etc. We also prefer to stay away from political topics/agendas as they are separate issues that are to each their own. If EA decides to add things to the game that they feel are important, does not matter what they add, that is their choice and our choice is whether we as individuals decide to continue playing this game or not.
Once again we are not being forced to play this game by EA, that choice is solely ours and the content EA provides is solely up to them.

"Why is it so important to push political narratives and individual life styles and choices on players of a video game..."
There are certain groups of people who have historically been ill-treated (mildly stated) for reasons that simply have no basis in anything other than irrational bias and bigotry. Policemen, firemen, dads, moms, to name a few from your own list... historically have not fallen into this catergory. Suggesting that we treat others as we would wish to be treated, or trying to raise awareness of mistreatment, could only be called "political" by someone with a political agenda of their own. In my opinion.This will probably be my last posting for a while. I told everyone on the "Feedback" thread, I am taking off time from the game this summer. I just finished out my battlepass and only have this event to wrap up. I am very old school but I was never one who ran about picking on other people's differences. Back in the 80's we called you a spazz, today they tell the kids it is wrong because they are ADHD or something to that effect. I never had issues with people being gay or whatever the PC terminology is by today's standards. But I also never accepted any awards based on my ethnic background either. I am not handicapped by my ethnic heritage. I don't expect everyone to understand, but it is my opinion, some people to need to feel entitled to get an award because they suffered at the hands of others. I have my suspicion this is a public relations stunt by EA and Respawn to endear themselves to the community. I imagine there are those people who actually take it serious within those companies, but they are still profiting from this financially.
As for the youth, I read comic books as a young man and people accused the comics of warping the minds of the children. I watched horror movies too, and they also came under fire from various moral religions and parenting groups. I know it is not the games such as Apex, warping kids today. You were raised by parents and they set the ground work for your social choices. After that you get most of your influence from peers, such as teachers and friends. We cannot blame media for all of societies woes. I have played this game with some very young men with foul mouths and bad grammar, others seem to be okay with it and play more mature than adults.. As long as the youth understand, these games do not reflect our society in any way, they shouldn't have any issues living a ordinary life. I find all the characters in this game are not heroes or someone to be admired. Loba is a thief, Octane blew his own legs off with a grenade, Ash and Revenant are human brains inside metal robots who are basically sociopathic killers. All the characters kill. Not one of these fictional characters can be respected. Personally, if I was part of the LGTB community, I would be somewhat upset they are cast in this light.
At the end of the day, it is only a comic book, just a movie, and very fun game. Take care of each other in real life, killing each other in online games is a great way to release psychological stress. Don't take it to heart.
