What's next, Kim Jong-un or Erdogan as UN free press ambassador?

 

Yeah, or Saudi Arabia on women's rights commission ...... oh wait....

People who make those decisions to put idiots like that in those spots should just be, I don't know, out of the game, forever. As in, disqualified from life or something. 

 

Like, when a DQ'ed person wants to go and buy some food at the supermarket, the employees there are like "sorry, but you're not allowed in here, you're disqualified". And when asking how to get food then: "I don't know, but sorry, you're out. Better just go home, because you're disqualified. Sorry."

 

When going to a restaurant and asking for a table: "Sorry, but you're DQ'ed, you're out. No table."

When buying a car: "Sorry, but you're DQ'ed. I can't help it but we can't sell cars to DQ'ed people."

When trying to watch television, a message appears on the screen: "You are disqualified, we apologize for any inconvencience, but you're out. No TV."

An ignore function like you have on forums would also be useful too. If somehow you could implement this ignore button on all walks of life, not just online

Exactly! So if someone like that says something, you simply don't hear it. Posts on Facebook are just immediately deleted etc. Meaning this person is alive, but is effectively not in the game of life anymore  

 

If you think putting Saudi Arabia in the lead of women's rights or a homophobic in the lead of human's rights or a dictator in any goodwill role, you've lost the game.

Yep, I am liking this game a lot. Also, those obnoxious politically correct people who want to do away with all traditions for no reason at all can go with them..... you know the type who decide that Christmas is no longer an acceptable term and that Winterville would be a much less discriminatory idea. Those people should also be on the ignore list

Absolutely! You can add half my country to the list then nowadays (considering the whole 'Sinterklaas-debate' that is just freaking unstoppable in the past few years when everything has to be super politically correct)

It's just annoyingly stupid and serves no good purpose. I don't know if you are familiar with the nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep", well some politically correct morons have turned it around to say that this is too racist to teach children because it has racial connotations..... just go away already you silly people
