Either keep politics, or make a special board for the discussion of politics. Dunno what that should be called, but I have about 261 different ideas...

I don't think anyone here is worth engaging with in political discussion, but don't ban it. Just require the use of flairs so I don't have to see all the blue anon conspiracy posts.

Yes. A 900 year old dragon girl anime ass isn't current events. Not to mention, a majority of the horny posting was just super cringe anyway.

Id be okay with the swap even if its not my thing. Its incredibly toxic to engage in politics as is and now we have a very select portion of the internet men given carte Blanche to toss said toxicity because.. we just think thats good?

Its always been around, sure. It will always be around.. but letting users jump down each others throats is why this place sucks. You cant even point that kind of shit out because people polarize the idea to the point its labeled as concern trolling. Youre just creating incredibly paranoid users who cant control themselves because they cant externally.

You know... you people don't HAVE to engage in the political topics, right? Like, you can just... NOT post in them. Hell, if one was even given a misleading title and you clicked on it and saw that it was a political topic, you could just like... hit the back button and go back to what you were doing.

The hornypost topics were and are cringe as fuck, I just never engaged in them. I didn't advocate for them being banned, you just... ignore them.

Politics posting is just sad on CE because the people who do it actually think they are changing anything at all with it. Really it is just a vessel for insulting other CE users and for people to have weird meltdowns. Ultimately it just makes everyone feel worse and decreases the morale of the board.

Whatever you may think of "horny posting" it is a thing where you can either just join in and screw around to have fun or just completely ignore it. Either way the board is happy and healthy.

You know that using a synonym for "Blue MAGA" still sounds as stupid as saying "Blue MAGA," yeah?

This would probably sound less like bullshit if you weren't running around in political topics.

do people legitimately miss hornyposting? I thought it was a meme and everyone was making a fuss because theres no guideline to what constitutes a mod worthy horny post.

Are people actually distraught they cant comment on ass pics on a video game forum

The topic premise is the topic premise

but it doesnt matter, thats not my point, users on this particular website are notoriously known for being toxic as all hell. This is literally because people are advocating for human rights and so we give users the ability to say Im speaking in this way because this stuff matters and yeah, it surely does, but it doesnt stop users from going into other unrelating topics, correlating any and all instances of events as a current event, talking incredible amounts of shit to them and having moderators bear the scrutiny of allowing this kind of talk continue because otherwise itll be seen as inconsistent with the rules or favoritism towards the opposition of their favorite political side.

Other sites simply dont allow for this garbage because they just dont want to foster that kind of community. Who would? For a dying video game website? Full of the kind of people who even without the rush of modern politics were duking it out in other discussions? Full of people who flat out state that they feel their lives are ending? Lol, come off it bro. Even you know how toxic this place is.

Theres always that excuse of were all adults here and I can only imagine crickets because its only on GameFAQS that they act this way lol

nah its not really that big of a deal, you can find that kind of thing on Reddit instead. Just the fact they were all rolled into one forum topic on a website I already frequented made it easier. At the end of the day it doesnt actually bother me that they are gone.

People having fun and posting about fun stuff cultivates a fun and friendly community. Even if people choose to ignore the topics they still have the added benefits that come with it.

If you just ignore politics posting that is perfectly fine. However, the amount of misery it cultivates and contempt among the community is a very bad thing for everyone. And to be clear I have no issues at all with political discussion and my beliefs are pretty in line with most of CE. However, most of these "poltics" topics just devolve into pure toxicity that spills out to the rest of the board until we all resent each other.

I want a happy and fun place not a place where everyone just hates everyone.

We know, you keep showing up in political topics and then crying about political topics outside of them.

Pick a lane.

I'm onboard with either an outright ban of political topics on the board, or a mandatory requirement that anything relating to politics requires the political flair so it can at least be hidden from view. Political topics on GameFAQs has never been anything more then shit-flinging contests, and have rarely ever brought on any kind of intelligent or thoughtful discussions or conversations. Hell, I'd also be okay with Fandom reopening the Politics board, and making it a hard requirement that all political discussion is just locked to that board, and that board alone.

I'm also onboard with bringing back horny posting, but we all know that's never going to be a thing.

I learned the names of certain models stars etc in those ass topics. I don't do reddit.

This archaic site is about the only one that works worth a dam. While I'm at work and that's where I spend most of my time on the internet.

It'd not the end of the world for me but a minor annoyance
