The decline of the community

[Setesh45]

The last two pages here are only spam, no discussion, hence post deleted, no point in this.

You say that, but people have been doing all of that since day one. Nothing has changed.

You probably just weren't as exposed to it. That's all. Must have been more hidden on EU data centers cuz of the language differences or something, idk.

Where we had wholesome experiences now we have "degeneracy"

Oh noez people are having fun in a way some boring puritan does not approve, what will they do without a close minded person's approval D:

I rly cant take people who use that word seriously, maybe try avoid spending time in places where such words are commonly used to label literally everything you dont like.

What you don't remember the "big dick dps" ascii art macros people used to spam in chat?

It has literally always been like this.

They've been here all along. You just haven't noticed them apparently. The community hasn't really changed. It's the same as it has always been.

With an increase in players you'll always get different demographics of people. The community hasn't changed, perhaps slightly because of the ToS restrictions, for better or worse.

As for "degeneracy", I don't really care as long as no one harasses me with it.

... All the stuff you have listed has existed since I've started when HW was new and I'm pretty sure existed beforehand. The community is the same.

So why did the game director have to warn people to stop using NSFW mods or they will cancel support in certain areas last year? They are facing legal issues because of it, why wasn't it an issue earlier? Because everything is the same right?

Because of business partners and shareholders. It's the same as YouTube and the adpocalypse. They are running the risk of ruining future collaborations because of it. This wasn't because they had moral issues with anything.

Because certain communities decided using Twitter to share such things was suddenly OK and SE wouldn't notice apparently, idk.

That stuff has been around for a long long time.

NSFW mods have been in circulation since 1.0. When a new game comes out you can almost guarantee the first thing people will try to mod is nudity.

There can be any number of reasons why Yoshi P didn't say anything against it.

But I still find the community overall to be friendly, kind and helpful and try to bring as much helpfulness as I can. I feel the "degeneracy" as you call it is a separate issue.
