What have I done...
James House-Lantto (He/Him)TL:DR
A fanzine that celebrated pride in the Battletech universe, that was praised and touted by Catalyst labs, was discussed in the r/battletech subreddit and the mods started removing any posts related to it or Pride-month.

Bryan H. RomboughOver the weekend, the BattleTech Pride Anthology 2023, a fanzine containing stories written by LGBTQ+ BattleTech fans was published. And the moderators of the r/battletech subreddit had a meltdown. That story and its fallout here:

Tabletop mech combat is so not my genre—but I am consistently impressed by how the BattleTech community shows up. #BattleTechIsForEveryone

https://prideanthology.itch.io/2023 Here's the #Battletech Anthology that started it all on reddit.
Apparently, it wasn't Battletech related enough and "too political".
So, the mods of r/battletech on Reddit have decided to start banning people for posting pride related things, including pride-themed paint jobs and the CGL-endorsed Pride anthology.
