This is also only a big surprise to goons who don't understand reddit. There are lovely racist subs, but there are also plenty of subs that are perfectly fine, even really good. It's not like SA where there's still a relatively common culture across the whole thing, there's much, much more variance in culture and practices across different subreddits.

The average, highly trafficked subreddit are generally more heavily moderated than SA lol

You keep bringing up how moderated reddit is. Where are these posts coming from then?

Don't know then they started the album but some of these examples are potentially from a day ago.

You sound like Google with the moderation bullshit, while minorites continue to be attacked. Who cares if they get banned afterwards, folks think it's ok to even post that poo poo. At sa, these kinds of posts are deliberate banmes, not on Reddit.

Man, I was just bitching about how in this post-streaming era we still don't have loving VOTOMS in America and a complete TV set just came out 2 weeks ago!

e: What?! Ideon was also released this year?!?! Sorry, video games, my wallet calls.

Whatever happened to cod liver oil

We found out we could pack more Omega-3 in pill form and just call it "fish oil" because nobody wants a supplement called "cod liver." Except me, I love that old timey pharmaceutical poo poo where the label had an entire novella's worth of text written on it. It's why I shower exclusively with Dr. Bronner's.

They're coming from weirdos who post on other parts of reddit. I'm not saying that poo poo isn't garbage it's that the only system for getting rid of it is what they're already doing, or like not using reddit.

Absolutely nothing about Reddit is good, it's a cancer on the internet and the entire site needs to just go away.

Reddit is bad in many places but I feel like going for the full nuclear option on the whole website and all its communities isn't necessarily the best answer to that.

reddit is some loving nonsense with founders that brag about giving their admins PTSD and like all social networks will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes. idk how you can take it so seriously that you want to have a talk with every gamer at once over comments no one read.

like for real, none of these comments were widely read until they became examples! I don't see how this isn't making the problem worse.

panekit is low-key a way more hardcore vehicle building game than nuts & bolts. has way less special blocks and buoyancy and aerodynamics are handled entirely by the basic panels, so building a plane means you have to actually build wings, and put together a custom-built mechanism for steering in mid-air. building a boat means you have to put together something with an actual level of buoyancy to it though the physics are really hosed up so that doesn't work very well which means even the actual prebuilt submarine they give you just kind of flips over in the water constantly but it still kinda owns and it does mean that you can build a frog-like machine and it will actually be able to swim long-distance

really impressive for a ps1 game, even has a really crude 3d physics engine. insanely floaty, but neat for such on old game on really weak hardware

That poo poo is real bad but it's all comments that were downvoted and removed so I'm not sure what they shut down the sub for. It's only gonna get worse now.

I'm sympathetic cause modding can rot your brain but this wasn't an emergency and this isn't making things better. Should have just done a charity drive imo

What would a charity drive do when these *trace* elements of hate are the face of gaming to many minorites on that hell site and for the internet at large?
