Petition to delete the politics section

[Stealphie]

Not in my city, anyway.

 

[FGFlann]

I guess this is turning out a little bit too serious.
I agree with FAST6191

Is not like banning the entire Politics Section is going to help in any way, because people will always be offended / offend anybody in any way they can.

Imagine GBATemp without a Politics Forum... discussing Politics.
Kinda Ironic, isn't?

Though, I would've loved to see the abortion discussion.

Make the thread.

 

[JuanMena]

Wait a minute... I'm just realizing this now...

@Stealphie wants to discuss Politics, but he won't use the Politics Section because it goes against his beliefs, and yet, at the same time wants to discuss them?

Petition to move this thread to the Politics Section.
It's even got Georgia font this time.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Make the thread.

Oh, I'm soooooo tempted to do so... I might in the future though.

Actually... you know what?
I want to petition a forum about lobster instagram and lobsters in general.

It spills out of there anyway. Lets not forget I was personally subject to transphobic abuse right here in the EoF just a few weeks ago which is absolutely no different to what happens in the World news section all the time.


Every single thread in the world news forum ends up being a shitfest of you are an idiot if you support trump/you are an idiot if you don't support trump and there is always at least on person who tries to start shit with the trans community no matter what the thread is about. For example the cancel culture thread where someone tried to start shit with the usual crap that all trans are mentally ill ect ect. Like
what the fuck did that have to do with cancel culture.

God damn, that sucks.
My personal opinion on this is that you mustn't feel attacked, because the people posting that are literally giving their maximum intellectually... like... they can't think of something else?
Besides, they're people you don't personally know, and why would you?

Have you noticed that the ones who usually starts those threads are muricans?
Wonder why that is.

Except myself one time that I wanted to point out how good our Supreme Leader Kin Yon Gun is, but everyone thought that I was joking and took less serious than intended.
I had intentions of marrying his sister Kim Yo-Jong but she didn't replied to my messages because they have no Internet over there I guess I'll remain single for the rest of my life?

@JuanMena very true 98% of the abuse I get on the site is from Americans. Perhaps we should just ban all Americans from the site

It is all still there.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/abortion.86018/ for the 2008 one just in case somehow people think hard topics are a new concept around here.

@JuanMena all three topics by Americans and one of them by someone who was banned for being transphobic

 

[FAST6191]

It is an American issue (pretty much there, Poland and maybe Republic of Ireland in the "places people want to live" list) and was it transphobia or just a continual disruption on many levels?

He launched an attack in another website against gbatemp.net calling all trans people pedophiles and said the site staff here were criminals for letting trans on the site. Plus a lot more stuff.

I am going to start a petition to delete all video game sections and make gbatemp only about politics, then I will troll and talk about video games.

But the real question is, are you going to open the ROM section to the public? I need me some ROMs.

 

[Subtle Demise]

It's not that bad really. People are always triggered by anything they consider "political" whether it actually is or not. The mere mention of certain topics are enough to get people banned instantly from many online places like forums, comment sections, and IRC servers, even if they honestly didn't mean to start a debate. People need to grow an extra layer of skin and realize that bitching about people talking about politics is just as toxic as the people who take it too far during those discussions. If you're getting abused or see it happening to someone else, report the post and that person will be dealt with. From what I've seen the mods have a zero tolerance policy for anything that would be considered x-phobic in nature. If you post in that section, make sure you do it as an adult, or if you're not an adult, then as a well-adjusted human being. If you can't do that, or if the mere thought of seeing or hearing anything remotely "political" makes you wet yourself like an infant, then don't click on the fucking forum/thread/whatever. This isn't directed at anyone in particular, btw. Just a general rant for the site and all online communities as a whole.

Ask Costello about that.

Yuck, couldn't get past the third page of the first thread.
The second one seems reasonably normal.
And the last one surprised me, because the older is the thread, the less comments it has.
Kinda like... GBATemp is filling with tish overtime... I hope I didn't just spit to the air right there...

Imagine if Mods or whoever manages banned members, added a small legend below the banned user that let's everyone see why they where banned, that'd be interesting...

JuanMena
Banned for being stupid
and making bad jokes
all the time, and suggesting
dumb features
that eventually affected him
