he and fails both followed me after fails' recent "is warned" topic. i figured it'd be less of a headache to just block them both immediately.

People being afraid to give honest reviews does not mean that a movie is good. Anyone still listening to rottentomatoes and MC needs to get a clue.

Also look, yet another person who hasn't seen the movie.

I gave my reasons, and they are legit. If you can actually argue as to why they aren't, I'll listen. Do you have an actual argument?

Oh, now it has a higher score because reasons

lmao, youre terrible at hiding your true intentions.

Agree with OP. I made some comments in the politics forum that I believed where rather innocuous, not explicitly "right-wing", but deviated from the stereotypical corporate neoliberal rhetoric. A moderator "flagged" a cluster of my posts and sent me some weird Stasi form where I supposed to "admit" I was trolling. I was then locked out of the site for a few days. Never seen anything like it. Honestly, if I didn't enjoy the reviewing community we have here I would have never returned to GameFAQs.

Lesson learned, I guess. And yeah, I know, "private company" I have no freedom of speech here, etc etc. That said, some transparency up front would have been nice. If only certain viewpoints and posts are allowed, then so be it, but let users know upfront. In any event, this type of forum policing is just a buzzkill. Let people disagree. "Trolling" is supposed to refer to extremely disruptive, off-topic, and offensive content, not "wrongthink."

Follow the science.

Also, just because I don't subscribe to the same ideas doesn't mean I deny transgender people the right to do what anyone else can do. The users here are very ignorant and quick to strike down an opposing opinion because they are not able to debate properly. Nothing I said was transphobic, unless we want to create a new term to counterbalance it. Cisphobic maybe?

I see. Though I'm way too old to know what a "discord" is.

I've been on this site since its inception and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I do believe the over-moderation of these forums, however, is not conducive to fluid, meaningful, or "fun" discussion. Rather, it encourages users to "report" those who disagree with them, or to "bait" their "opponents" into saying things that could land them in hot water.

The BIOLOGY is the FACT of the argument. You can not BIOLOGICALLY be who you think you are if you are not BIOLOGICALLY that which you think you are. You can change your gender, you can not change your anatomy other than the surface level.

Trans people are real, yes.

However, do not label everyone transphobes because then the term loses its meaning. I am not transphobic. You want to be trans? Take pride in it, let everyone know you are trans. My argument is merely that biology of sex cannot be determined by anyone and that is a fact, regardless of any after opinions.

Okay but seriously, has anyone actually seen the movie besides TC? If so, can you actually articulate why you disagree with him? Because the constant echo chamber of "lol you're having a meltdown/I think you're secretly racist/right-wing/etc." is getting kinda corny. Would love to see someone actually address his critiques of the movie, whether it's in agreement or not.
Read the the whole topic tonight (minus the 6th page) and this really seems to be all most of all the posters here are capable of. No ones actually offered up a decent rebuttal, just strawman after strawman and snarkily trying to infer that he's a racist for not liking a movie.

I'll be the bigger person and say that most of the people here haven't watched the movie

People asked for an explanation about what was political and didn't get one. And then they did but it was basically just complaining sky BLM.

We don't need to see the movie because language being used to express the complaint is only ever used by one type of person. And that type of person's political opinions are always garbage.

I've said nothing racist and like I said, telling people that they are or aren't black based on the opinions they have is racist. I don't appreciate it

I mean he did answer what his problem was, but in a very antagonistic manner and it didn't help with other people making cheap shots at TC as well. Normally I would write TC off as a troll, except I can follow his reasoning for why he disliked the film, but of course the hard part about making a rebuttal was that none of us actually saw the film. I asked 3 of my friends (who enjoyed it) if the movie was pushing any form of political agenda. All three of them disagreed, because it even showed black characters getting killed off. The only scene that could be argued "woke" was at the end when the killer massacred the police force, but they said it was a stretch. I can't really comment on it because I haven't seen the film.

But it really sounds like one of those cases of people claiming it "woke" when it really wasn't like with Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

TC is right. In fact, it's worse than that, anything that isn't authoritarian left-wing is at risk of moderation now. I've had messages deleted that were simply a list of mainstream, left-leaning media outlets contradicting themselves.

You really just do not stop

Also, isn't it nice that the topic has been kept bumped for TC to return to when he gets back from his warning
