Why did they do it?

Why did gamefaqs have a politics board

>>716475340 (OP)
They had to shut it down

politics make people worse

We are witnessing an ongoing concerted effort to fully shutdown all free communication on the internet

>>716475340 (OP)
Why would a gaming website even have a politics board?

Why does 4chan have /pol/ then? It is an anime web site.

>>716475421
>politics make people worse
Yup. Especially with political extremists who advocate for unhinged bullshit.

>>716475446
>4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images. There are boards dedicated to a variety of topics
Keyword is variety. Not just anime.

>>716475446
It is, and always has been, a containment board. It was literally created after news was first shut down and all the filth spread across the boards.

>>716475340 (OP)
what type of person would still go to gamefaqs message boards in 2025, and a non-game one at that? Im actually curious

>>716475446
anime can be political

>>716475446
Honestly if 4chan got rid of /pol/ I feel like the general quality of all boards would go up at least a little. /pol/ is absolute cancer.

>>716475474
Such as showing basic respect for women in the video game industry

>>716475340 (OP)
I would assume it's because a lot of the users there had the "wrong" opinions and were criticizing a (((certain))) group. Dunno though I never went there.

What do the 300 40+ year old people on GameFAQs have to say about politics?

>>716475556
back at an old job of mine i would browse gamefaqs every week or so because i was so bored and i needed something sfw

>>716475659
that website leaned hard left. i think current events is still up. you can go take a gander if you'd like

>>716475340 (OP)l
they're is the same site which shut down LUE back in the day. It's been shit and their boards have been dead for a long time

>>716475583
>/pol/ I feel like the general quality of all boards would go up at least a little. /pol/ is absolute cancer.
/pol/ is a containment board.
/v/ for example would have more far right chuds who spam off-topic threads than it already has.

Question, why are people so afraid of political discussion nowadays?

>>716475808
They aren't.

>>716475743
Gamefaqs is invaluable for information when playing old games. One of the few search functions left on the internet that actually gives helpful results

>>716475808
>why are leftoids so afraid of political discussion nowadays?
Because none of the bullshit they support can stand up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

>>716475808
People aren’t. Politicians and corporations are. The masses are being silenced

>>716475913
T. Spams tranny the moment anyone displays views that aren't far right white nationalist bullshit

>>716475340 (OP)
I can only assume it's because too many users started speaking of (((them))).

>>716475719
The kind of people who moderate an online forum mostly lean left, therefore anyone not left-leaning gets their posts deleted and banned

>>716476074
they started talking about Kris from deltarune?????

>>716475913
This. Without the power to ban people for wrong-think they are completely unable to convince people trough logic or argument to hate themselves and worship mentally ill freaks in dresses.

>>716475340 (OP)
It became illegal to have any opinion that doesn't gargle obama's ballsack on gamefaqs like a decade ago.
I'm gonna assume people there started to notice that maybe, just MAYBE democrats are the saviors of humanity that they're advertised to be and this needed to be suppressed at all costs.

What are the benefits of self-mutilation?

>>716475808
Who is afraid to discuss politics? Politics are so ingrained in our lives I literally cannot escape them no matter where I go and who I talk to. Half of /v/ threads are about or closely related to politics. Every time something very bad happens it's blamed on politics. If a man speaks or a woman blinks - politics are involved. Some people are actually tired of politics and would prefer not to discuss politics at least for 5 minutes, but that's literally an impossibility if you are on the internet. Also both the left and right are retards. Mouth breathing teacup brained faggots and niggers who would improve the world only if they ate a handgun. There's no discussion to be had with room temperature IQ having insane asylum residents. Why can't you people look inward and solve your own problems in your own lives before discussing how the rest of the world needs to be governed?

In the most popular videogame site from Spain, they closed the offtopic and politics sub-forums because a few leftoids complained

>>716475340 (OP)
They couldn't handle facts
