I think it comes off a lot worse than it actually is. The US election's coming up, there's been a glut of contentious politics threads where everyone tilts at windmills, and I've seen girl_undone post about how frustrated she is with having to moderate those.

Can't blame the team for wanting to avoid that clusterfuck, but it looks bad to have to take the forum down for that long.

Agreed tbf. I am not surprised the acrimony spreads to even the Big O, but I suppose the admin's mental health comes first. It hasn't felt like a forum in a while. Too much fandom drama, which reminds me of someone commenting that US politics now feels like a fandom in and of itself. Even gaming forums, with all their cursing, calling each other retards and fags and troons and other slurs, don't feel as fucked in terms of energy and that's wild to me. Like, people will fight and they'll get over it, and here we have threads of yelling.
