World War 2 veteran just wishes twitter was around in 1940 so they could have defeated Hitler with a 12 hour suspension

Coming in at the 11th hour takes no courage. These platforms should have stepped up a long time ago.

You like different games than me?
reminder that "we can disagree and still be friends" applies to stuff like enjoying different games or characters. not human rights violations.
