Mikeymoonshine Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 503's have made me less inclined to look at this as much ngl. I've noticed this place becoming more and more bigoted over the years though. Recently the transphobia is ridiculous, constant threads full of users making dehumanising comments about trans people and spreading anti trans propaganda. I've tried to argue with it but people don't care, I've even PM'd a few users with legit sources explaining why what they said was wrong and hurtful but they just dismissed them. It's too much of s hassle to put literally all the transphobes on my ignore list so I usually just abandon threads if the topic comes up. Also I think the fact that pop culture has changed and a lot of users (including myself) are still primarily interested in artists who's careers peaked years ago doesn't help. The troll threads have even gotten stale, it's always just the same arguments from absolutely years ago. Maybe new users would help but I dunno it wouldn't really be the same place, younger people don't stan artists the way we do other than maybe Kpop stans.

That content was everywhere in Lounge and it dominated that entire section. People were begging for a new section at the time. So we made Civics.

Plebhead8 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I've not been here for very long but it's basically only useful for inside info, can't remember the last time I saw a genuinely interesting or insightful opinion/discussion or even when people are just hating for personal entertainment at least make it funny? Can't even enter a thread without finding a cringe trolling attempt Still nowhere near as bad as P*pj*stice anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd do that today tho tbh because I feel for Brandy and her situation even tho she seems to be doing better. I think in general internet culture has changed, some of it for the better, some of it is annoying because I do think sometimes people are too sensitive and want to police everything people say but back in the day there were no boundaries on the internet and I think it's diff now.

ToMmY Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Shitty server, dumb mods, too sensitive. And maybe Lady Gaga too. I'll probably get banned for saying that. Edited July 10, 2022 by ToMmY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naval23 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I got 2 WPs for making a harmless comment about Mariah beating everyone in a footrace because it meant a discount for her next single But overall I'd say most of the time the mods are lenient with WPs except for odd situations that is not worth fighting about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiswhoiis_max Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 What? Me getting a ban over saying something about Britney that was 100% not harmful or nasty. I learned my lesson. Mods love certain artists that we are not allowed to criticize. To whoever that was: Have a nice life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
