I'd like to suggest adding a fourth charm slot, but designating only certain charms that can fill it, that are "cause" charms. Causes being things like LGBTQIA+, Standing with Ukraine, BLM, etc.

    what's the point we already got three and if you're sacrificing one cosmetic slot for a cause isn't that more commendable than having 3 unnecessary ones?

    An LGBT flag isn't politics; it's supporting people that need it, and I was just giving examples of possibilities. The LGBT charm is the easiest example, just because I've seen streamers come across it and literally pause what they're doing to cheer. It can mean a lot to people to see that stuff in something as mundane as a game, so I like leaving that charm perma-slotted.

    Problem is, I only have 3 slots, so I thought it would be interesting to have a 4th slot that only worked with specific charms, and if you don't want to use it, you can leave it blank.

    You remind me of one of those scare-tactic politicians that pushes the worst-case scenario as an everyday occurrence. Just because something bad happens, you don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

    People have bumper stickers, flags, shirts, license plates, and all sorts of other things to share their support of various causes. It's not overtly political, and a person's sexual or gender identity shouldn't be thought of as something conceived to influence politics--that's just tremendously dismissive and insensitive of who they are.

    Some things are worth being celebrated--that's why we have holidays, days of remembrance, and days of visibility, and saying otherwise that it's "political" or "propaganda" just comes off as bitter and jaded.

    I agree and disagree.

    As a member of the LGBT , Identity politics (unfortunately) exist
