Fandom is proud to be a place of belonging for all fans. We take online trust & safety very seriously across all our brands and as of Tuesday, May 16, we closed all political discussion boards on GameFAQs, specifically ones that violate our terms of use by promoting abusive language.

What are they talking about, specifically?

All that talk about "inclusion" and "black lives mattering" mixed with the mocking of violent fascists who tried to overthrow the government just rustled all sorts of jimmies in the higher ups at Fandom.

I think the frequent usage of wumao got really racial there so they just decided to nuke it.

Imagine being so upset that you got called a wumao while spewing CCP talking points that you complain about it on a regular basis for months after the fact.

The gamefaqs terms of service has always prioritized treating other users with respect over anything else. The problem is that quite a few users, and apparently most of the politics board, want to live under the sort of Reddit/ResetERA style moderation policy of "I can be an absolute asshole to anybody I want as long as I think the right things."

People will dress it up a million different ways, but that's fundamentally the issue.

Im neither of those. Thing is, people that arent democrats are automatically slapped with that title.

Just as another person said, its people using justification to spew hate.

Hey, you can think what you want. You can say what you want, too. And then when you inevitably make a topic complaining about moderation bias because you were warned for flaming another user we're all going to sit here and politely smile and nod because you're the 10,000th person to make that same complaint.

Im not flaming anyone though.

Its also true, just yesterday a mod posted in this very board saying you can tell me to shut the fuck up and fuck off and they wont take action, because users were doing just that. You dont have a leg to stand on here.

Yeah, no it isnt, the fundamental issue was that Fandom saw there was a board for discussing politics and decided that didnt fit their dumb brand. Thats all there is to it bud.
