Why so many flags?

A Moral panic, I think (or hope) we are seeing the tail end of it.

The stories I’ve heard from teachers these days… It’s a wonder the kids are allowed in public. That said the kids have parents who are probably overworked and under paid and probably struggling with mental health so, who knows where the blame truly lies.

Most of the players who have spare time to post on these forums are left leaning (Most people in the world are actually left leaning)

Anything you post they disagree with, they will flag it. Anything that might trigger their emotions, they will flag it

doesnt matter if its funny, in good taste, a joke etc etc…

its the same as reddit

I dont like it = downvote so no one else can see it

I had a post removed because i said i couldnt decide on the new $90 mount or taking my GF to dinner. I guess I offended some girlfriendless people? idk

maybe because i used gender specific language? who knows

Sweeping generalization

Flags don’t mean anything on their own. Some people do flag posts for no reason, but if it’s unwarranted, the mods will leave it be.

Sometimes they’ll leave it be even if it is warranted.

that’s the truth. this is why the popular vote is always democrat but the electoral college isnt.

most people are left leaning

psy-op / lies… that you tell yourself at night to cope… what you said…is NOT true… maybe its true for the BIG cities but for the majority of the country… no.

You cant say “always.” The conservatives had the popular vote in 2004, 1988, 1984, 1980, 1972, and 1968.

Of course, there’s more before that too…but that’s around the time of the change so it gets a bit more complicated

Probably the same type of person who is quick to kick in the game as well.

In my circle, we’d call them rats.

Do people really know what constitutes as left or right leaning? I think most people just pick a figurehead or person they like and just choose that side and stick with it until something changes their minds. I’m not what you would call an educated voter, or voter at all which just leaves me uneducated BUT… I couldn’t tell you any issues that either side has an actual plan on to be progressive or conservative anymore. I would like to think a lot of people are actually in the middle but are lead to believe that’s not allowed and you must be a single party voter.

It would be nice if there was just a giant bulletin list describing each current issue and what the plan is for each side.

Edit: oh lordt we reached maximum velocity. It turned to politics.

Any time you bring up flags, it will.

I’m not from your country and i’m not the only one, my sweeping generalization still stand in this context.

I think it does come down to politics in a lot of cases but I think there should be a separation for “politics” in regards of government. That is the point of no return. In a general sense what does left or right leaning even mean, isn’t it just a label to vastly generalize or undermine. Left or right has no real merit on its own

You have to also look at what policies were apart of which party back then

They may have been under the republican party, but back in some of those years the republican party was the more liberal side

For the most part, humans are left leaning

and thats why we see WoW forums, Reddit, etc become an echo chamber

same with twitter

I think people flag for political reasons (sometimes.) I don’t think either side is worse than the other.

I’ve been flagged plenty of times, and I’m pretty squarely left.
