We have been asked a few times now if it would be okay to start a thread on what's going on right now across the U.S. - This will be the only thread/post on the matter.
Simply put, FAN is an entertainment site and board, and what is going on far exceeds anything we can discuss here. We've already seen in the COVID-19 thread that it is near-impossible to implement do's/don't's of something of this nature on this board. Hell, there are those here who have meltdowns over casting choices in superhero movies, so this is far, far beyond the scope of what we feel we are properly equipped to handle.
In the meantime, we urge everyone to educate yourselves on what is happening. Fully educate yourselves.
With that said, I feel comfortable in saying this much: We at FAN want everyone affected by not only the protests but the causes and symptoms of their presence to stay strong, keep standing and be safe during this.
AMENDED (June 9, 2020): If you are wanting to put a BLM avatar or sig in your profile, feel free. BUT keep it strictly to the message, no pics of protests, no other messages included, and as always, it must conform to our usual guidelines thereafter. NO "opposing" avatars/sigs (including "All Lives Matter") are allowed and will be grounds for immediate and permanent ban.
