Who gives a shit what the console boards think?

They're just as toxic, just differently.

We're dumping chemical runoff and they're tossing radioactive waste everywhere.

The ps5 board had a topic about Ninja getting diagnosed with cancer. At least 5 different accounts were banned because of it.

Make of that what you will.
Yet they want to close off CE when the system boards are 100x more toxic and are open to anyone.

The system boards will be the last thing they go after.

Until then racism, sexism, transphobia, etc will continue as normal on those boards with absolutely 0 intervention.

CE is the only problem board, the only board with issues of safety, trust, and toxicity.

Because this is a gaming site? Those boards have more of a right to be here. If you're a regular of a board, it's understandable that the issues on said board would be faint to you. It's like when you can't smell something everyone else smells because you've been lingering in it for too long. I've read both feedback topics, and I think people who needed to listen the most (but refused to do so) was CE's own userbase.

Annnnnd this is what I'm talking about. You want the board to stay open, but this is how you treat users when their opinion differs. Why would potential new users want to stay here? I didn't just show up to CE today. I've posted several times before, and I said in a different topic that I sometimes lurk here but am more active on other social boards.

That's not the point, though. Instead of listening, you immediately disregarded what I said and posted my account information. I never claimed to be a new user, but would you really be welcoming to a new user who held a different opinion from you?

Your opinion is this board doesnt deserve to exist in the first place, and the people here just should listen to the corporate overlords

Opinions can be bad and disagreed with.

Pretty piss poor reasoning for them being more toxic. Also doesn't address that there are MANY more non gaming boards. Do they not deserve to exist?

Not at all. I never said this board doesn't deserve to exist. My point was only that gaming boards have more of a reason to exist on a gaming website. I know that CE has been a community for a very long time. I don't blame any of you for being disgruntled; but with that being said, I don't think it hurts to also listen to what the potential problems of CE are and try to work to fix those problems. I know it sounds like I'm someone on the outside trying to tell you what to do, but I am only trying to give you my perspective.

Heineken14 posted...

They do. CE will also continue to exist. Nothing is set in stone (remember we were told there would never be a block function). I think if CE does change, and become more welcoming to new users as a result of that change, there's a chance the board will be public again.

That's a premature metric considering Fandom's ownership here has been brief. There hasn't really been enough time to assess any changes specific to Fandom.

Here's my proposal. Give it time. We're already seeing a slight culture change since the privatization. Let the community that already exists in CE settle and adapt, and then I think CE will be a brighter board ready to accept new users. But right now, a new user can't even come here without being suspected for a troll or an alt.

Not really. You have an entire board that doesnt alllow one member of a certain political party to have a voice, because you generalize everyone from that party as being vile racists. CE is the epitome of vile toxicity.

Edit: thats really all Im going to say on the topic now, because I know I will likely face a ban for even saying that much. Its silly, to be persecuted for voting for one of the two primary political parties in our country.

People that are too afraid to share their political views because they know theyre bad are who benefits from these changes.

Because that political party is openly racist, openly bigoted, and is currently trying to get their coup-inciting, tax-cheating, pandemic-enabling, deficit-skyrocketing, rapist criminal traitor to america back into office.

Please feel free to explain why people who still support that shouldn't be called out on it.

The user had a name change recently. They are indeed a vet. But this is that weird culture stuff we are talking about. Clicking profiles and copying and pasting info trying to shame people because they dont live on the platform. Thats shit is not conducive to user acquisition whatsoever, and it leaks into the other boards often.

Again, assuming every person in America who belongs to that party fits neatly into the box you want to place them in, is in fact silly. Different people have different values. If you think all Republicans are the same, then I guess so are all Democrats. All exactly the same, with exactly the same viewpoints on every issue.

The problem with that is most often than not, those republican posters are being judged on the things they actually say, do, and support, while the democrat side are being judges on the things that republicans say they say, do, and support.

Doesn't really fuckin' matter what your personal viewpoints are when you're still voting for the shitbags who are openly racist, openly bigoted, and are currently trying to get their coup-inciting, tax-cheating, pandemic-enabling, deficit-skyrocketing, rapist criminal traitor to America back into office.

and people here continuously trash on the system boards. I see it all the time. People on the PlayStation board whine about Xbox and the Nintendo boards and vice versa.

Its not hard to see people just shit on everything else.

Every time I venture into the console boards or game boards because of a new game that just released I'm completely surrounded by giant topics complaining about woke or other puerile discussion like "which waifu has the best smelling armpits?" Or straight up bigot shit like "this game sucks because this character is gay"

Marking them seems futile at times because there's just so much of it.

The people who you vote for dont believe in a womans right to choose. If youre not trolling then what the actual fuck dude.

What economic policies are the republicans putting out that make you handwave racism and stripping women and lgbt people of rights? This is kind of ridiculous that you expect to not be shat on for saying things like this.
