Forum rule question: How can you talk about politics without talking about the social implications?

Apparently you're now allowed to talk about politics, but you're not allowed to talk about the social implications of things that related to politics (religion, gender, welfare, discrimination.)

I don't get how it's possible as those topics literally tie in hand in hand. For example if you're talking about a political topic, such as the bathroom bill, it's almost impossible to not go into religion, gender and discrimination.

Why couldn't you? That seems kind of stupid...Not like I'd do anything but make fun of anything political anyways, but tstill, the two kind of go hand in hand, no?

It honestly seems like a terrible attempt to appeal to the professional victims while trying to appear to not be censoring discussion

Like most attempts to satisfy rabid radicals without appearing to be one, it fails miserably

Tbh i agree with you 100% and just want to add my own personal experience: i got a ten game chat restriction, then after serving it i got my hextech back after 3 days. Like you i agree this was 100% worth and i would recommend doing it as a way to blow off steam.

Flat answer to your opening question: You talk about the facts surrounding current politics, not opinions or predictions on what the implications are. So very flat discussions like "Trump just won the <state> primary", or "bathroom bill was just passed" or whatnot.

My actual opinion: Such topics limited to essentially factual statements are meaningless. It basically just becomes a newsfeed, not a discussion. So if they want to restrict political topics at all, they should remove all of them (I can get my political newsfeed elsewhere). Or else allow actual discussion of topics.
