Oh they are serious about this uh
wololo
yea that discord sucks and is a even tighter circle jerk than b8 ever was

We probably won't ever have a proper replacement, if you want to keep in touch with the peeps here, you'll have to do it in individually in other places.

We will Truly go our separate ways

Oh the Minecraft topic got deleted too?

Fandom is a junk-ass company.

Not deleted. Closed. So I can't even contest it and probably get suspended for abusing the contest system

I was very confused about what people were referring to before I saw this post. That was clever to hide political discussion in that Minecraft topic.

Unfortunately we have people here that are lauding the new direction and have never been shy about marking things.

Extremely common gen Z (and maybe alpha?) tactic to give plausible deniability to revolutionary rhetoric, to the extent that the US government has taken note of it. So like yeah it's clever but also the most obvious choice possible.
"You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha! That's such a childish flavor, only children eat strawberry."
We'll have to resort to older tactics now.

Do you mean Minecraft specifically is commonly used in this way? Or just in general hiding controversial discussion behind something seemingly harmless?

Minecraft, yes. Nevermind politics, they also use it to say, like, "kill yourself... in minecraft" when they wanna harass people lol
So apparently they did listen to feedback in one sense, as they've went and closed the religion board. (As well as several others)

Wow they really took the whole ass wrong lesson from that feedback topic, huh.

Found another off-topic board where people aren't talking about video games. Get 'em Timmy.

Also that statement on transphobia is falling real flat now that they closed the sexuality board.

Shutting down all sorts of boards (without announcement at that) seems like a poor way of maintaining users. I can sort of understand shutting down the religion board, as it's arguably more divisive than politics. But unless you go looking for it, you aren't going to find it.

They also killed the Hot Girls board, lol.

And they totally removed the "popular boards" section from the general board list.
Change is weird.

? I'm still seeing the different sections on https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards ? Popular Game, Community, Special Interest, Site, System, Social Boards? or did they remove something else/somewhere else? (or was I misunderstanding this comment...)

I only see my list of favorite boards and then boxes at the bottom with categories, but no actual popular boards listed like it used to.

I'm pretty sure "no hornyposting" has been taken to put gamefaqs on more stringent rules than the boards had on their creation. Which were pretty damn stringent.

We literally have to post like we are all 12 and the year is 1998.
No wait, I think there's just a limit to how many favorite boards you can have before the popular boards disappeared. I added a new game board the other day, and after removing an old one I don't go to anymore, the popular boards are back.

I like how this board is 12 pages of posts by Sballen, then a few by Dtoast, and then a final one by Timmy. Likely the last one that board will ever receive.

Oh wow, that is definitely something. Both my phone and web are showing them still, we're both at the same level so it's not a level issue. Actually I just tried opening the boards page on a private browser and all the "Popular x" stuff also still shows up there for me, try that and see if you see them in private browser/when logged out too? Curious if you're not seeing the popular sections at all or it's tied to your account specifically.

Edit: ok disregard saw your other post, wew. The lesson is to stop liking so many games!!

.... as I look at my list of 4 favourited game boards and the latest one was 2012, lol...

Basically. Even though I'm fairly certain the average age of this board is near or over 30 at this point.

As specifically hornyposting was concerned, original TOS was "x character is hot" as the line in the sand and then getting more descriptive than that was moddable.

(Nevermind that i think the old example character was underage, try not to think about how recent modern age of consent actually is)

As i understand it now, any sort of sexualization is banned. The line in the sand is just all of the sand.

Anyway fuck fandom.

First they came for the politics and hornyposting,
and I did not speak out because I didn't want to discuss politics or hornypost.

Then they came for the Religion and Sexuality boards,
and I did not speak out because I didn't want to discuss religion or sexuality...

That statement on transphobia was """subtly""" anti-trans to start with so this strikes me as pretty consistent.
