Reminds me of John Lennon who said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus…

There were protests and record burnings and they were banned on many radio stations and they stopped touring, some say because of the backlash….

In 1980, he was murdered by a Christian fan of the Beatles, Mark David Chapman, who later cited Lennon’s quote as one of his possible motives in the killing.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
