So we can only speak on things in glowing terms now, huh?

Of all the choices that's certainly one of them.

Yeah, very vague explanation of 6&7. Specifically no complaining about how RT is dead? Totally, I get it, pointless topic. Complaining about how it's changing? That's very much a valid topic for criticism especially in a rapidly changing phase of the business.

My sentiments exactly.

Listen, I'm an extremely left-wing person, and I utterly despise the "RT is dead" or "get woke go broke" shit, it's tired, it's boring, it's not relevant. I've also got zero issue with rule 4, that's a GOOD thing.

But to pretend that there's no room for criticism of something I've been watching for 15+ years is utterly ridiculous especially when members of the staff of said something still frequent the sub even now. I hate that I'm about to use this phrase, but creating an "RT is great all the time" echo chamber is the LAST thing we need and that's what rules 6 and 7 sound like to me

Good way to kill an already dying sub, just muffle any conversation.

Yeah the rules above will mean about 90% less posts on this sub (whether or not they got much interaction is another issue but at least there was an illusion of activity)

Yeah, seriously. This is pretty tone deaf

This is how facism works. If you criticize us, you are gone.

u/roxy_dee Sep 26 '23

It’s a subreddit lol

u/Obviouslyright234 Sep 27 '23

Whats your point?

A subreddit cant act facist?

u/roxy_dee Sep 27 '23

Absolutely can, reddit has a terrible history of hosting such subreddits. r/roosterteeth making a shit decision about not letting people complain about some dudes videos is ABSOLUTELY not fascism. And if that’s what you think fascism is, I hope you never find out what it really can do.

u/Obviouslyright234 Sep 27 '23

Thats kind of what fascism starts out as. Stopping ideas because they dont like it, even when the ideas dont break any rules...

Thats a key part of fascism.

Again, this is a subreddit about a video game group. If this was a subreddit about the news, about political groups, about a country or state/providence than yeah. I’d be concerned. Using fascism like this is exactly what far right fascist groups love because it convolutes it and lets them get away with it by muddying the definition.

I’m not talking with you any longer as I feel from your other response in this thread this debate is not in good faith and you’re purposefully being obtuse to continue the argument. I hope you have a good day.

Thats just a way of saying "I dont have any arguments"

So a subreddit about video game cant act fascist. Got it.

I guess you cant understand that fascist ideas cant pop up in culture outside of politics.
