So is the Religion board going to be shutdown as well? Because religious discussion is even more divisive than politics is. I hope theres some logical consistency on how this is handled.


No, because nothing bad has ever come from religion.

The issue is that you need to wade through 100x more s***posting and random anything-goes topics before finding anything actually interesting or useful.

I rarely if ever engaged on that board but I liked skimming topics there since it did an actual better job at filtering down to Current Events than CE ever did.

This.

I can vouch for devilanse. 98% of their posts were annoyance about people posting Twitter links. They never struck me as a right winger "pushing some narrative" in any way. In fact, I'm pretty sure that their occasional posts not related to tut-tutting about Twitter were supporting more left leaning opinions.

I love that people are actually upset about Politics going away. Those people should not be discussing important matters.

I love the fact everyone who is cheering for the politics board shutdown was previously tagged a chud or Magat. Really telling.

It is wildly obvious. And then half of them are like that place sucked because people were called chuds or Maga for normal, leftist things.

Meanwhile theyre like outright bigots or spent a year cheering for trump, but they know nobody can get the receipts anymore.

No, it's visible on the open web.

For some reason the WWE board is still deep web tho.

CE just needs to have a politics ban and it'd be a fantastic board.

So in other words, CE needs to ban the following subjects:

--American shitty healthcare
--Abortion rights
--LGBTQ rights
--Any current event about a celebrity getting arrested or saying something political/offensive
--Climate change
--Ukraine/Russia war
--Vaccines, the pandemic-- hell, anything about conventional medicine
--Charities
--Religion (too intrinsicly linked with politics)
--Natural disasters (government is always a critical element in disaster relief)
--Inflation, gas prices, housing prices, etc.
--Food/supply chain shortages
--Elon Musk/Twitter
--Waaah, not enough scantily clad chicks in videogames anymore
--Donald Trump and Joe Biden will become banned words, even if they star in a videogame
--Diversity in videogames/entertainment
--Harry Potter
--The World Cup
--Star Wars
--The plot of FF7
--The NES game Bad Dudes

Just off the top of my head.

In the game's ending, you're thanked by Ronald Reagan. So yeah.

Star Wars is out?

Let's see...
--There's the overt politics in the prequels.
--Accusations that Lucas's aliens in the original trilogy and prequels are based on racist caricatures-- esp. Jar Jar Binks
--And then of course we have the rampant complaints about "wokeism" in the newer stuff. (Yeah, the newer stuff has serious problems. None of it has anything to do with "wokeism" The biggest problems are that Rey is a Mary Sue *if Rey is an example of "wokeism", then so is Wesley Crusher* and milking the franchise with character-specific movies.)

But why were you just asking? What was your reason for wanting to know? Most people would just observe a normal thing and not have a question about it.

just a pro-tip: when you want to fake the reasonable outside perspective routine it's incredibly important to suppress your culture war triggers

it's just an obvious giveaway when a post singing your praises still activates your lizard brain for using an ordinary pronoun, it's a jarring response to normal people who would think nothing of it.

like if someone wishes you happy holidays and your response is "why not merry christmas?", you come off as someone consuming too much outrage bait that taught you to have that kneejerk reaction to perfectly normal language

I find it extremely hard to believe that CE wouldn't meet the same fate as 261 if exposed to the same supposed criteria they used to axe the latter.

Then again in my many years on this site I have seen some absolutely laughable decisions by moderators and staff so it is entirely possible CE could absorb all the political topics from 261 and still not get axed for "reasons".

As someone who pretty much browsed only 261 and CE devilanse333 literally never posted shit on 261. And his description of the topics in his first posts is a bunch of horseshit. Which he knows he can make since no one can look at it themselves.

Im asuming SBAllen also brought up the porn ad spam problem in this meeting. Which remains as bad as it has been but seems to be creeping steadily lower in terms of depravity.
