Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

If you don’t talk about
LGBTdrugsviolenceCanadiansmental health it doesn’t exist. Won’t someone please think of the children?! Let’s keep the internet safe for everyone. I’m starting a petition to remove any content not safe for anyone over 5. Please limit any naughty words to p*opy or d*rn.Mods can we ban this guy? Putting floaty stars in the word doesnt mean we magically dont know what it is. Theres a time and a place for such filthy language and it most certainly is not the internet.
Seriously. And they didn’t even bother to censor the C word. Truly despicable behavior.
Canadian?
I am not sure if this was a serious speech and not /j or /s.
And yet they keep the literal child porn generator app on the store.
It starts with the gooner games, then always moves to other non-gooner games. History repeats itself.
First they came for the dating sims…
Never knew the game was ported to Android in the first place.

DDLC is pretty tame when compared to the various visuals novels out there. If Google hates DDLC, then I’m pretty sure they would go crazy over any Russian VNs that made it onto the Play Store. Those have a bunch of sensitive material.
You can’t even say certain words on YouTube, so this tracks. Sadly.
You can say any word on yt, it’s just that some get deprioritized by the algorithm, which hurts ad revenue, so people choose to self-censor. That’s different from them taking something down so it can’t be viewed at all.
Pretty sure they actually take videos down they deem straight up against their policy, the deprioritizing happens on top of that to videos that aren’t exactly against policy but they dont wanna promote it anyway
Yes, definitely, but that’s a separate topic.
Is the topic not saying words on youtube??
YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.
No. Unless you straight up talk about genocide they likely won’t remove your video. you can swear as much as you like, talk about all the sex and gender topics you want without getting it taken down. The self censorship is due to demonetisation (or just worse performing ads), unhappy algorithm so you don’t get as many eyeballs, and age restrictions.
This is a bad take, using their major corporate power to bully people into censoring themselves beyond societal norms is not OK.
I’ll give you a list of words that I’ve decided are not allowed and every time you use one, I’ll reduce your pay by 10%
It’s not a “take”, that’s just how it is.
I also dislike ad-based funding of everything, that’s why I’m on the fediverse. Also don’t like a “take”-based internet, but don’t tell anyone…
