Strange how those people could come freely into the GBS thread and scream about every poster there being Bandera appreciators and grey forum users without posting any evidence of either of these while nobody posting there would go touch the poop in the other discussion threads or PYF then

I really loving like how it was all insinuations that "oh, these people must be following the war using gore sites and grey forums to jack off to war porn" while at the same time coming in there going "ackchyually caring about people suffering and dying for no fault of theirs when it isn't happening in your own backyard is weird" is such big mood whiplash I can't even think of anything to say regarding the thought stream that brought someone there in the first place.
Maybe it's not because it was about war porn than it was being horrified that an actual shooting war was going on, much like what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan?

No. It's a ridiculous, arbitrary, and ideologically driven nonsense that got the GBS one closed. If the GBS ukraine thread was that bad, then basically every other one should be removed as well to be consistent. Because it's literally the same content with the sliding scale of jokes to genocide denialism.

I'm glad we have a very strong common ground right now. But you see what I mean right? I have a genuinely hard time with the suggestion the GBS thread was somehow outrageous war porn voyurism (last year, sure) destroying the minds of your average SA poster when the CSPAM thread literally has genocide denialism or pro-colonialist rhetoric on the regular.

All of them are talking about a current event, and if it's legitimately harmful for whatever reason then they all need to be closed. Otherwise, through rational deduction, it's just ideologically driven moderation.

There is no replacement for the broad net that the GBS thread provided. The GiP and D&D threads have their own merits, but they are not equivalents, even collectively.

The GBS thread was not a problem. The people working themselves up into a lather about the GBS thread were.

Because the general-purpose pantshitting bullshit forum full of morons like nom epique is no place to discuss a loving war. The other threads have rules to keep weirdos from masturbating over weapons or gleefully hoping that Russian conscripts eat each other.

I and many others found real value in the cross-section of perspectives available in that thread. The criticisms of it were either valueless invented controversies, or valid criticisms which were onboarded and included in the moderation of the thread, and not a problem from that point on.

No it is a reasonable point of view.

Except I don't agree with the idea it was prevalent, extreme, or things like posting weapons or videos is an actual issue beyond inconsistent rules. After all this clearly shows up in the other threads and even more moderated than television.

Either it's all a problem or maybe people need to get a grip.

Man gently caress off with this, the GBS Ukraine thread ruled for keeping up to date allowing other posters to take the brunt from social media. This take, that you are doing? Is bullshit, completely false and not at all true from my point of view as a not-GBS superstar or whatever the hell else drama is going on.

Ah yes, reasonable places like CSPAM where the users suggested that what was going on in Xinjiang was actually cool and good and how what happened to Tibet under the Chinese was also good, while posting ravings about Galician nationalists being the reason why Russia decided to invade its neighbor and dismissing what Strelkov and friends did in the Donbass region as a 'police action' of some sort. In Strelkov's own confession, nothing was going on in Donbass until he and his were sent there to escalate it into a shooting war. Very reasonable perspectives that outsiders looking in are supposed to agree with because 'those guys have different ideologies'. Got it.

It should be here and it should be a dogs breakfast of pants making GBS threads and horse semen like all things tbs
Because it informs people who otherwise wouldn't be
I found the gip thread really informative and considered, but its also the 1st time ive been there
The gbs thread seems reasonably well controlled and moderated and the most egregious poo poo is taken care of in a timely matter
That shower of poo poo the other day was bored trolls not coping with no, and getting their dicks kicked
