Fired up my Xbox and was appalled to see this nonsense taking up space on my dashboard. I guess we can add this to the pile of things that make modern Xbox cringe and out of touch.

Does PlayStation do this too? I know Nintendo and Steam don’t. Feels like every time I fire up my Xbox they’re promoting some cringe social justice message, like a few weeks ago when it was all about Pacific Islanders. Seriously, try googling Pacific Islander + Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo and see how different the results are.

Boy do I miss the 360 era. Remember when Xbox hired people that understood and cared about gaming? Those were the days.

 

[solidus12]

Do as I say not as I do.

 

[nightmare-slain]

sorry you're upset and offended. sell your xbox and get the glorious PS5 /s

 

[wvnative]

Xbox has had shit like that for years on the dashboard...

I hate it too, but is this really worth getting this bent out of shape? just ignore it and play your games.

 

[Unrivaledx88]

I dont have an xbox, but i dont mind this msg wish it was smaller for ppl like you not to complain. Its a nice reminder for ppl.

I haven't turned my ps5 on for a week or so, but there was nothing like this last time I was on.

Sony, at least from my recollection, don't really do stuff like this.

 

[RoboFu]

Where’s that at? The tiny block on the bottom of the screen? I don’t see it

 

[Roberts]

Weird, I never get these. Maybe it is a regional thing?

Treat others well

Gafer: how dare you?!


Literally a universal message that you can ignore if “treat others well” triggers you. Y’all just enjoy being annoyed. To the point messsges that baby shows like dragon tales would teach bother you.

 

[SomeGit]

I wish I had that instead of ads for new games.

 

[kanjobazooie]

People online want me to insult their mothers so I have to do it.

 

[nightmare-slain]

"treat others as they want to be treated"

how can you seriously be pissed off at that? be kind to others. don't judge them. have empathy and respect. but hey that's just what i think. unless they are being an asshole then let people be themselves. don't get worked up over it.

 

[Chukhopops]

How is « treat others as they want to be treated » a social justice message?

 

[Balducci30]

Treat others as they want to be treated? This is a social justice message?

 

[Topher]

So weird. I just logged into my Xbox and I see this:

 

[intbal]

So weird. I just logged into my Xbox and I see this:

Your gamerscore is even worse than mine.
I don't understand these people who get over a million. That's a full time job.

 

[kyliethicc]

Does PlayStation do this too?

no

 

[Topher]

Your gamerscore is even worse than mine.
I don't understand these people who get over a million. That's a full time job.

lol.....that's not me. Just some random pic I found. My gamer score is way worse than that.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

A positive message got you bent out of shape smh

 

[22:22:22]

Seems like a great message to me?

Remember, true woke isn't the woke you know and love to criticize

Peace

 

[MidGenRefresh]

We went from "I fucked your mom last night" to this in just over a generation.

 

[RoboFu]

so this is what I see ... when i turn it on it instantly shows this screen and the three blocks on the bottom load in after. If thats what you are complaining about ... oh boy..

 

[Gudji]

Next time you log in I hope you get some mcdonalds ad instead.

 

[DenchDeckard]

What's up with it?

 

[Revolutionary]

How dare you not like being talked down to by a multi-billion dollar corporation! Consume and Obey you fucking bigot

/s

You’re right. I read through the step-by-step instructions about the Platinum Rule and feel like I have a better understanding on how to treat people on Xbox. All these years I was sending messages to people about fucking their mom and it has just dawned on me that this was inappropriate behavior.

Thank you Xbox. Thank you.

You really don't get why this is annoying? Shouldn't you be the one to decide when to be subjected to preachy advertisement / corporate representation?

It's like watching a blu ray you got with a bible or koran verse popping up in the main menu of the bd. Come on now.

 

[Ronin_7]

Xbox dash is All about ads and cringe shit. It's a terrible UI My God.

 

[jaysius]

Xbox and online communities are all so fucking toxic and ruled by man childs that you need to be talked to like retarded kids.

This is just a good message, and they wasted one of their paid ad spaces to put that sentiment out there. There’s nothing wrong with this, people that have a problem with this are fucked up, there’s no agenda here they’re saying treat humans with respect.

 

[Mr Moose]

What's up with it?

It's a weird message. Treat others as they want to be treated?
Some user: Treat me like a king, fucker!
OP: Well shit, since Xbox said I should...

 

[protonion]

I showed this to my wife and asked for two daily blowjobs. Morning and night.

Didn't work.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It should have read, "treat others as you want to be treated"

Which came from the Bible

What Does the Bible Say About Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated?

Bible verses about Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated

www.openbible.info

Which is probably why they edited it with current year they/them pronouns.

 

[SSfox]

I already was a bit annoyed at the PSN notification that the new COD is out. Like i give a FUCK

So i can imagine how this can be annoying

 

[anthony2690]

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It’s a nice sentiment. Something I try to abide by in life. The dashboard is still shite however.

 

[22:22:22]

It's kind of sad to see when the aggressive extreme faux "progressive" leftists activism ie Reeeee crowd makes something as innocuous and fundamentally positive as the example in the OT smells dirty. Jfc what a world we live in where true sincerity is taken for propaganda.

Then again do we REALLY know it's true intentions?

 

[BabyYoda]

All of that garbage is everywhere now, including at my work, they don't give a crap, just virtue signalling nonsense...

 

[Zathalus]

no

They absolutely do. Nothing on the dash, but they totally have collections on PSN for things people on here would shit themselves over, stuff like LGBTQ+ collection, celebrating Black History month, celebrating diversity, etc...

No. It’s a universal message. In a space where people do treat each other like shit. It’s not pushing a political agenda to say treat others well. It’s a human message. It’s as if you are trained to think positive message are a woke agenda lol. Like you won’t go from “treat others well “ to “ free health care for all” via Xbox messaging. Don’t worry.

 

[Aion002]

Did you threw your console on the ground?

 

[Robb]

Eh, no thanks. Treat people with respect would be a better slogan. I won’t treat someone who identifies as e.g. cat or whatever as a cat.

 

[Jimmyisback]

How do you even survive in this world op. Everything you see must be a constant trigger for you.

But it’s not even a phrase used by supposed “woke” people, it’s nothing

 

[Shakka43]

I dont have an xbox, but i dont mind this msg wish it was smaller for ppl like you not to complain. Its a nice reminder for ppl.

I'm sure assholes will start treating people right after reading this, lol. These type of corporate messages are just virtue signaling and nothing else.

This is the problem now, can't take anything at face value anymore, especially not from corporations like this.

A positive message, shame on you Xbox
