Following your point of view, if one goes on 4chan or a slightly racist Discord server their brain will literally explode from all these "harmful messages".
You are right that the internet is a cesspool, but this is not about people posting dumb stuff but about directly targeted attacks at specific people.
If you ask me, any website not dealing swiftly and decisively with such things is acting irresponsibly and it's better to steer clear of them entirely.
Just because there's too many places where these things are happening is not good enough justification to mimic that attitude.
A forum like this one is SUPPOSED to be closer to a bunch of friends and a friendly environment. Ensuring that is supposed to be the task of the moderators. And the old guard failed rather decisively on that front - the Hall of Unpleasantness being a major contributor to this - and I think we now see the fallout: Overall activity has seriously diminished since that recent controversy.cyber_cool wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2023 3:32 pm Please consider this. It's not a private club. It's not a family. It's not a bunch of friends. It's not any kind of "friendly" environment. We give a shit about each other only because of Doom, Doom mods, Doom engines, and other Doom-related things.
