I talk a lot here (honestly too much :3) and I've never ran into any issues like that, so many it wouldn't be so bad but I get it if it's not your thing <3 I also care to some extent about everyone that messages hereSome of the people here don't irritate me instantly, but under the restrictions of the forum it's not worth trying to have a conversation on the forum with them. The forum pretty much only allows fluff "memes" or posts the staff agree with. As stated in my signature, it's an 18+ forum, but the staff pretend that people can't just use the ignore feature if they don't want to interact with somebody so they "moderate" the forum based on personal ideological biases in most cases.
For instance, the first use of the term pizza predates the completely fabricated story about Margherita of Savoy which Italians and really most people accept as the origin of "pizza". Making the statement that pizza is Italian is inherently political even if it's inconsequential to say considering the actual form and function go well before Italians got their hands on tomatoes from Mexico which by extension would mean that "pizza" is an adaptation of food that existed prior which would be Persian in it's first iteration which was then passed to the Greeks which then went to a very specific sub section of Italy before it was largely mainstreamed in America. Additionally America is responsible for the world's most popular pizza topping the Pepperoni so I'd argue "modern" pizza is as American as it is Italian considering it's largely the American version that people recognize anyway. By the stated rules any political posts are meant to be disallowed, but it's selectively enforced as long as the staff either agrees with the position or the person wins the very cliquish popular contest on the forum.
As a result of nothing of any substance being "allowed" on the forum by whims of the staff it is far easier to simply not use the forum because it's all just spam. Heck asking how the weather is could be considered political because climate activists exist.
Furthermore nobody cares if I use the forum or not, heck nobody here would care if I walked into traffic later tonight and anybody saying they would is lying.
If that's the trade for my existence then I'll take it happily <3Though Robin taking over my profile is your fault and may be a reason to deny your existence.
I kid.
