I think I can outline some of the reasons how this came to be:
- A lot of industry insiders that can make very insightful posts frequent the site.
- While there have always been bans for stupid reasons, the enforcement of social justice standards has only arisen over the past few years.
- The people who have different opinions are getting thinned out daily. Most of the regular posters either agree with the social justice dogma they enforce or keep quiet whenever such topics come around.
- Threads with a lot of dissenting voices are closed and all of the "dissenters" are permanently banned, only leaving those that were "on the right side of history" behind.
I only still go there because they are often the first to have threads on new events and because their format makes it easy to get a quick view of what's going on in the games industry because there's not as much clutter as most of the other places I used to frequent.
When I first got my account over a year ago, I thought I was going to post there every day, but the site became more and more fascist by the day and I think I now only have maybe 100 posts, meaning I'm still a Junior Member and not even able to open a thread on the site and also meaning that if they ban me for any reason, no matter how minor, the ban is permanent.
I still hope those retards just wake up one day and realize that they were wrong all along, but that's probably as unrealistic as Iwata rising from his grave.
By the way, are you actually Japanese or do you just live in Japan? (Or are you just using a proxy that gives you a Japanese IP address?)
