Despite my current account being new, I've been around TDW and the .win communities since the start. This is just like my 40th account or so. I get banned often.
KA2 was always a community I visited but not one of my primary communities. I remember years ago, KA2 seemed to have a very diverse community group with a lot of women also. I'd say the politics of KA2 was very bluepilled but with a realization that woke in video games is problematic.
I used to joke that KA2 was full of horned up teenagers that just wanted to see big anime titties and were upset feminists kept censoring their video games.
When I used to post on KA2, I usually got downvoted significantly, had people reply to me very angrily and I'd usually get banned.
Now it seems like through IMP1's nonstop barrage on the community, KA2 has almost become some MGTOW/KA2/ConPro hybrid and it's not even Imp1 anymore posting nonstop anti-women (not just crazy feminists) articles. Even the mods seem to have given up with a lot of stuff they'd have previously banned over.
Now arguably, any "redpilled" community if not constantly censored will kind of divulge into what KA2 has become because as people start to open their eyes to what's going on, this progression might be inevitable but I feel like Imp1 has had a major impact himself entirely that might have ensured the community didn't naturally progress itself but it just driven off a lot of previous members.
How does the KA2 community feel? Everything all good? Or not really as good as it was a couple years ago?
Quite unfortunate. But that's what you get when you are a splinter of a splinter of a splinter.
This is a Gamergate sub, not Stormfront. It's all nice to go high and mighty and argue that it's 'censorship' to prevent a forum from being taken over by people with no regard for its original mission, but that will only lead to the place being crapped up and/or shut down.
Maybe censorship doesn't work in a private setting of adults?
What certainly doesn't work is giving people who share nothing with the original community a free pass to take over the place.
Seems like racist anti immigration talk to me! Oy vey!
Actually, that is exactly the reasoning DoM used! He even called it Border Control IIRC.
It means that if you're an interloper and you violate the (important) rules even once, you're out permanently.
KiA2 is not some lawless hellhole like the US where you can just cross the border and do whatever the hell you want. You will be deported.
