Dk if you've ever played persona but it's a dating sim. That's kind of what happens in those games lol. That comic is an exaggerated play on the joke.

It was exaggerating, Persona never goes into that much detail and actually keeps it ambiguous if the MC actually does have sex with his LIs. They use fade-to-blacks.

Same.

Persona is not even close to a dating Sim and there are actual dating simulators out there (no not just visual novels). In the Playstation 1/2 era. Anyhow I just played Persona for the combat/exploration/story and making bonds that could result in a serious relationship, I guess?

you either etc etc or etc etc etc

Vegy was lobotomized. Neon was never lobotomized. Though after all this, if toasts allows him back, Neon will be lobo'd.

Don't worry, he'll slip up.
If not on the 25th during Brazilian Miku day, for sure in September during Bowsette day.

Some day Turbam. Some day.

Ngl, I've been here for a long ass time, but I remember maybe a dozen usernames. I tag users exensively for that reason, as I just can't remember anyone.

So no clue if good or bad.

turbam will survive as the one true king of honry and will be cemented in the final pages of CE as his legacy ''bows'' all hail king turbam our king of asskingdom.....your a ass lover right turbam....right ''readies dagger''

Dey almost got Turbam dat one time a few weeks ago

Yeah, trading neon for toonstrack sounds pretty good.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I don't like either of them, but deny.

I have no idea who you are, which makes this a unique opportunity.

You've seen a laundry list of neons "misdeeds" posted here. So where do I stack up? If you had to give a reason why I should he gone and neon should be spared what would it be? This is important research.

The horny gimmick was a bit overdone, and the constant >_> was annoying af, but he seemed like a pretty cool dude.

Kept it real. Didnt post in an overly gimmicky or disingenuous way. Didnt post like a bot, which I appreciated.

My thoughts:

The ban of NeonPhoenix from the Current Events board on GameFAQs has stirred some debate, depending on which part of the community you ask.
If youre familiar with the CE boards culture, you know its one of the more volatile and freewheeling places on GameFAQspeople expect blunt, sometimes edgy commentary. NeonPhoenix was known for being outspoken, controversial, and at times borderline inflammatory. To supporters, they were a bold poster who challenged the status quo and called things out directly. To critics, they often crossed the line into baiting or rule-breaking behavior that violated TOS.
The ban likely came down to a pattern of posts rather than a single incident. GameFAQs moderation can be inconsistent, but when someone builds a history of reports or skates too close to the line too often, bans become more likelyeven if some feel it's not entirely fair.
Whether you think the ban was justified probably depends on whether you saw NeonPhoenix as a provocative truth-teller or a repeat line-stepper.

Ye, get a new AI. If it can't peg Neon for horny crap then it isn't worth crap all.

Lets be real: today the forum feels a little emptier. A little colder. Thats because Neon, someone who has been the heart of this community for years, was purgedand from what many of us can tell, it was a mistake.
This isnt just about a name on a screen. Neon was the person who always greeted new users, diffused tense threads with humor, and kept the spirit of this forum alive. They contributed meaningful posts, offered thoughtful advice, and treated peopleyes, even the difficult oneswith respect. If anyone defined what this community stands for, it was them.
So how did this happen?
From whats been shared, it seems like a combination of miscommunication, overzealous moderation, and maybe even a misunderstanding of tone or intent. But whatever the cause, the outcome is the same: weve banned someone who didnt deserve it. Someone who wasnt trolling, wasnt spamming, and definitely wasnt trying to harm the forum. They were trying to help.
Were all human. Mistakes happen. Mods are volunteers doing a tough job. But when a loved and respected member is suddenly removed without explanation or due process, it sends a chilling message to the rest of us: Whos next?
Its not about blameits about fixing it. The ban needs to be reviewed. Publicly. Transparently. And if it was, as many of us believe, a mistake, then it needs to be undone. Quickly.
Communities thrive when trust is mutual. Right now, that trust has taken a hit. But its not too late to make it right.
Bring Neon back. They deserve betterand so do we.

AI sides with Neon and so do I.

If only that mod hadn't chickend out and just did some mod abuse, Turbam would have gotten banned.

If there was going to be sone kind of exchange, I'd rather see a good poster like cjs come back.

My opinion:

Never had any personal issue with Neon and always get along with him well tbh

The comic he did get hit for wasn't terrible, but with that history and knowing he's on thin ice? I can't really argue against the harshness of the moderation in this case. In his shoes I would have been extra paranoid of getting bonk'd again and played super safe. lol

Was it Turbam that said he was always thinking of B2's posterior?

He must not be very liked if people need to break out alts to make it look like there's more of them than there are.

Hornypostingreferring to overly sexual or lustful posts online, often done in a humorous, exaggerated, or attention-seeking wayis a cultural phenomenon with layers. Here are some nuanced thoughts on it:

1. As a Form of Expression

Hornyposting can be seen as a form of self-expression or comic relief. In spaces like Twitter or meme culture, it's often tongue-in-cheek and exaggerated to the point of absurdity. People may use it to blow off steam or connect over shared feelings in a humorous way.

2. Community and Connection

In certain online subcultures, it fosters a sense of community. People jokingly bond over their thirst or admiration for fictional characters, celebrities, or even niche aesthetics. This can be harmless fun when done consensually and in the right spaces.

3. Boundaries Matter

Hornyposting becomes problematic when it crosses into harassment, objectification, or makes others uncomfortableespecially in mixed or professional spaces. It's context-sensitive. Whats okay in a private Discord might not fly on a public forum.

4. Cultural Reflection

It reflects broader shifts in how people talk about sexuality onlinemore openly, but also often more performatively. Some use it to cope with isolation or unfulfilled desire; others do it just to chase likes and laughs.

5. Risks of Overuse

Like anything, it can become tiring or reductive if it dominates a person's presence or a platforms culture. It might even mask deeper needs for intimacy or connection that arent being met.

In short: hornyposting can be funny, relatable, or edgy in the right context, but it's best when its self-aware, consensual, and not overdone.

I mean; that's not at all what the consensus is according to thus poll.

Neutral + bad outbunbers "good" on the poll.

More people don't particularly think it was good than not. Nor everyone thinks it was bad, but plenty didn't think it was good.
