Chill out. Obviously worker solidarity is very important - you say it as if OP didn't already know that. There's a time and a place for this sort of stuff and this isn't it.
I know this because they, the international Olympic committee, the Qatari government, F1, and everyone involved with Liv Golf have said it about their respective events. They’re not being circumspect about this. And, because of this attitude, they’re right. At the end of the day, people want to watch sport and hope that Someone Else solves this problem for them.
Double especially when cities bid and bribe for the right to host.
Triple when they have to build infrastructure that wasn't there before.
Asking someone, quite politely, to merely acknowledge the impact this event had on tens of thousands of people is not out of line in the least.
It is important to make it political. The stadiums where this WC is taking place were built by slaves. The host country rejects fundamental humanitarian values such as respect for sexual preferences. Innocent people who did nothing wrong to anyone else except loving someone from the same gender are hurt by them if they thinnk they can get away with it. All of this is deeply unfair and heartbreaking and it should not be overlooked in the name of "cool and fun", if you are to keep any pretense of basic decency.
Very condescending for someone who is deeply mistaken. I think it also breaks rules from the guidelines (since this site is so keen to enforce them).
To elaborate: we all, every day, use things that have a back story. I'm sure we consume things from China that were built under terrible conditions (the most famous one being the iPhone). We probably take things for granted, or ar ignorant about how something came to be. That's why, you have to draw a line, otherwise it's endless. If it's the OPs choice, fine, but not under pressure.
You pointed out other human rights violations in the world, even though I never claimed that human rights violations only take place in Qatar. You failed to mention what is it that I am "deeply mistaken" about.
I also did not advocate for the OP to be forced or prevented from doing anything. I encourage them to use their nice skills on something that does not help further the agenda of oppressive regimes, but that is my view and opinion. The only person here who seems to want to impose anything on others is you, by appealing to site rules in an attempt to silence me.
I decide where I draw the line, not you.
