It's GameFAQs moderation, get a grip

I mean point taken, but I really think the mindset is more important than the context here. What you're pointing to as trivial is also one of the reasons the right can even win elections instead of being the laughing stock they should be. At least it's one of the reasons the right can win influence among the youth and on platforms like YouTube. In a country that prioritizes political theatre and culture wars over policy, never underestimate the ability of the dumbest shit to impact elections.

i mean, i've been modded/warned plenty of times for way dumber reasons than what plum was warned for so i don't care that much. it sucks that the gamefaqs moderation system is flawed but this isn't news. you've been here since 2008 so you should be somewhat used to this by now!

I've been on GameFAQs since 04 and I think Board 8 since 06. This was my second account here after I account suicided my first.

Wasn't surprised at all by the moderation system, more by the response in this topic.

Getting moderated on GameFAQs really is the perfect example of getting canceled, in that it's temporary, easily avoidable, doesn't prevent you from saying the same stuff elsewhere, and is often a much, much more lenient punishment than is deserved.

This is a great post though. I've had the rough experience of having a mostly apolitical but kind of liberal friend of mine go down the Stephen Crowder pipeline around 2020, so I probably do need to "get a grip." Said friend has been pulled back from the brink though last ai could tell when bringing up vaccines and the election (but I also have worse to deal with, I know I've posted enough about the radicalization of my dad in the past).
