If Newgrounds came out today /v/ would call it a groomer site

Yall have pearl cluthibg moral panics over fart buttons and being able to draw dicks in Roblox, then imagine what you’d be saying about peak NG

Newgrounds requires talent of some kind to upload and is not a social chatroom game.

Crazy how that site was so important for a brief window of time and then ceased to be important or relevant in any way

kill yourself troon

ive heard the term "newgrounds" from time to time. does anyone know what it actually is? like some tank game or something like war thunder?

>>718554742 (OP)
If newgrounds came out today nobody would have heard about it

>>718554879
It used to be a gay dating site

>>718554824
lots of youtubers and animators started there, so its legacy still has impact

>>718554824
I blame being forced to log in.
However if Newgrounds was released today where people were uploading handmade animated content YouTube and the like would piss themselves til they started having skin problems.
From being submerged in their own piss for so long.

meh there were some light nsfw games but there was no real community features or anything.
people don't realize what the "wild west" era of the internet was really like, official AOL and yahoo chat rooms were quite literally cesspools of unspeakable activities. but there was no language like "groomer" to describe it, it just sorta happened and good parents didn't let their kids use the internet. computers were usually in the kitchen or family room at this time for a reason

You need to be 18 to post here

>>718555343
Children being exposed to mature things was a worry back then, but parental controls and firewalls existed, so there wasn't really any problem. Not when I was growing up, anyway. "Never share your personal info with strangers on the internet" was a common mantra. I'm stupefied by how that has been twisted 180 degrees in the mind of today's normie.

Newgrounds wasnt targetted towards 9 year olds.
also fuck fnfags for forcing newgrounds to add a login requirement just to view 18+ content. zoomers ruined everything.

>>718556368
I'm still not keen on the idea of using my real name and stuff for social media etc
>but ISPs can see where you post from etc
Never was the point. I barely like giving my info to the pharmacist to pick up my medicine.

>Newgrounds wasnt targetted towards 9 year olds.
It quite literally was. That's when my interest in the site peaked. Newgrounds is a preteen website in essence.

I dont know why people think that people who push for "safety" on roblox are just people who work for the government and not autistic oldfags that cant let get go of a game not wanting them anymore. like 15 years ago roblox players were known for being autistically butthurt over people saying "123 for hot gf" and would do anything to make them leave. And back when the game had active moderation people would shit themselves over saying "lmao" or having characters with big tits to the point of even having your account deleted. it was a game targetted towards moralfagged children and since everyone plays roblox now it has more freedom than ever and the old "rules" were pretty much not endorsed anymore, its no surpise why the people who played it before either left or went as far to use the muh pedos excuse. "roblox oldfags" are even more miserable than 4chan oldfags.

Nah, if anything Newgrounds moderation is too absurdly gay for anything serious to happen, and Tom is too much of a pussy for anyone but himself to end up wrecking his site.
The community is alright.

>>718554742 (OP)
Newgrounds isnt for kids

>>718554742 (OP)
kill yourself

>>718554742 (OP)
If it came out today it WOULD be a groomer site.

Kids were 100% of the people playing those flash games

>>718554742 (OP)
i mean has newgeounds ever marketed itself towards kids? yea kids used it but i dont recall seeing an advert made by tom going "HEY KIDS JOIN NEWGROUNDS!" Compared to shit like Roblox which like once proudly labeled itself as "kid safe"

>>718554879
It's a website for flash games and animations zoomer.

I've noticed a lot more rules and account changes started happening after accessing Adult rated content required an account.
For instance, only very recently are you unable to message a minor account.
I wonder why?

>>718558289
>gettin freaky on a friday night yea

Adobe Flash was the shit.

>>718558289
Pretty sure a number of big oldfags were exposed as full on pedophiles within the last few years

>>718557630
There were 0 adults on NG. Even Tom Fulp was a teenager

>>718558509
*gulp* haha thats crazy *gulp* any leaks who it was *gulp*

>>718554742 (OP)
Anon I know what you mean but /v/ very much is filled with people pretending to be moral and uptight if that will let them upset someone into replying to them

Reminder that the Newgrounds moderation is quietly trying to hide Adult content.
There's been more and more nsfw artists losing their scout access over trivial bullshit, including big users.
Tom is too much of a faggot to tell nsfw artists outright he doesn't want them, so he uses this sort of underhanded bullshit instead.

>>718558943
How is the site still alive?

>>718554742 (OP)
i mean youre kinda comparing apples to oranges here, you're talking about a (somewhat) legitimate platform with little to know no marketing to something that you'd see grouped with shit like club penguin or wizard101.

>>718555343
this is a complete meme made up by normalfags shilling for the consolidation and sanitized nu internet btw, the internet is no safer now than it was then
