Just saying "sex" or "religion" might traumatize an impressionable, young 13 year old. Better to just ban those and censor them.

Next up on rule changing? We're re-introducing ****ing for swear words! Y'all can't cuss here no more!
Actually, that's not too far off. Look at YT and how content creators censor words now that you wouldn't think need censoring; like "gun".

You'll need coded language for that, like swapping 'sex' for 'yippee!", just how 'gun' gets swapped to 'tool' or 'machine' or whatever.

They even do it on Twitter and Reddit. I've seen some of the most ridiculous words get censored.

They didn't even strictly want us, we were a package deal with a larger company that they also absorbed and probably wrung dry.

This might be honestly worse. Making it private and letting it die slowly is more torturous than simply closing it.

Even more ironic seeing as how Toasty and Timmy talked about how kids use the site and have to think about the kids as part of the reason for their crusade.

But, willingly allow horny ads simply because they're getting paid for it.

In other words, Fandom is full of shit and their words contradict their actions.

That's extremely silly of Fandom. I occasionally visited there, and what I recall was an unusually civilized board. So it seems unlikely that it was any kind of cesspit that required extra time/attention from the mods.

It is a social board, Fandom only wants game-related boards.

Its funny that I keep seeing an ad from fandom in every one of these topics that says
Fandom: For the love of the fans
Because nothing says for the love of the fans like taking ownership of a long established message board and waving a giant middle finger in front of their face

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


That doesn't explain why they've banned political talk on every board except CE. They could lock CE and still allow political talk on other boards.

I think this board has just done its own thing for so long and the Fandom admin isn't fond of what that means. IE they don't like the community or its people very much. Hence why that population can no longer increase.

Stero, let me put it to you this way.

Why should anyone join your new board? What reason does anyone have for going out of their way and spending their free time there? You've not only cut and run once, but anyone on the sexuality board knows that you often have a (rather tiresome) one track mind. On a board about sexuality, you almost exclusively talked about incels.

But more to the point, what guarantee do we have that Fandom won't shut the board down? They've already closed multiple social boards without warning. Kind of hard to trust the survivability of any of them right now.

I mean, who even had trouble with the religion board?

Gamefaqs giving him his own board is like letting a criminal run a prison.

The censorship defenders on this site will often say, "you only care about fanservice" (even as they mock people for being upset about translation changes, most recently Eiyuden Chronicle) or "you only care when it affects stuff you watch/play/read" (even though many of us legit never did, it doesn't stop their gaslighting).
Or they like to try and pretend like it's not "censorship" unless a government mandates it, which is plainly bs.

Well, as someone who legit never once posted on the Sex, Hot Girls, or Religion boards... this is horrific and appalling censorship and fuck Fandom and anyone who defends this shit. Censorship is wrong, period.

God, I hope Fandom goes bankrupt.

Well you see if new users see a sexy woman in a message board post they'll get disgusted and want to leave the site but if they see a sexy woman in an ad they'll be totally fine with it because reasons.

"Politics is a gray area because it's hard to define"

No, no it really isn't. Calling politics a "gray area" is just giving you and the mod staff carte blanche to delete anything even slightly controversial as "political talk", and the rest of that post convinces me that LGBT talk is going to fall under the same umbrella when all is said and done.

Also, intentionally leaving the definition of politics vague while enforcing the ban is the dumbest, most easily abused fucking policy I've ever heard in my life.
