MODERATORS
There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don't remember the details, though.
I seem to remember the "feces" Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it's place.
Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don't realize it's satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
I think some people could think it's not satire but that's because there is a rule saying "we are not satire". Guess what? That rule is satire too
How do you know it is satire in that case?
Because:
-
They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs
-
They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me
-
They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939
-
Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)
-
Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits
-
They call their subreddit a "facebook group"
Nothing pisses off people like making fun of their treats, the memes aren't usually even that funny but the reactions are gold
The forum post you were referring to.
Lol, this Josh dude really thinks a week is Sunday-Sunday. So does that mean every Sunday is part of two different weeks?
Oh shit, more people join in. Does the dumb bodybuilder meme have a grain of truth?
For some reaon my IP is banned om that forum.
Are you Josh?
