At first, I was one of the many who protested the decision to seal off CE forever. It seemed as arbitrary as the closure of the Politics board, and I thought that meant the downfall of this site. But to be honest, the downfall of this site began many years ago. I hate to say it, but GameFAQs does seem to attract a lot of trouble that would be better off never existing. I'm not just talking about things like the Missouri church burning or the Sydney gang rapes. There's even worse things like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_mass_shooting_plot

That actually happened on RI, but close enough. Basically, their plot to commit a deadly mall mass shooting was foiled only by happenstance. The world is better off with terrorist attacks like that never happening. Imagine forever losing the lives of your family members due to somebody's selfish decisions like that. This was only narrowly averted. Yes, I do believe that CE should remain open, but I also believe that human life is more important and valuable. In my opinion, the quarantining of CE is but a small price to pay for something like the Halifax mass shooting to never have been planned.

the fuck?

hornyposting on CE has absofuckinglutely nothing to do with and no effect on some psychos planning a mass shooting on a completely different board, and the Sydney Gang Rapes had absolutely nothing to do with CE or anything that the CE user who allegedly had involvement in it posted on CE. what the fuck is this topic?

I'd like to clear something up about SnoopyFemme real quick, just because I don't want people to think RI was the cause or had anything to do with this plot. The planning of the terrorist attack did not take place on RI, I believe it's only on record that she met one or maybe both of the co-conspirators on GameFAQs/RI. Apparently their plans and sick ideas and nazi activities bloomed on Tumblr and some other dark web type site.

If they met in a bar would you ban bars?

TOS that does not tolerate hate speech and is enforced is important. Shutting down proactive positive speech as well because you're afraid of what might be said is what people like those perpetrators want.

Ah, yes, yes, two unstable persons meeting at RI and planning to kill everybody on tumblr years ago is enough to *check notes* close tumblr.
Better close every social community to be safe, think of the children, etc.

Women images actually affect men in a calming way. It reduces stress and gives better emotional well being. The lack of images, if for some reason the only source was here, would increase stress and tension.

I can make things up too.
