Better misfits than a bunch of douchebags who endlessly harass people for liking the 'wrong' things. OH!That was not a jab at you, just to be clear. If IMDbv2 is still the same as I remember, and they've been banning people who are interested in genuine conversation, then I can't imagine it's very pleasant over there anymore.

lol. I asked him to ban me after I didn’t really appreciate the seemingly unbalanced censorship practices. I leaned into it. ;-) Hmmmmmmmmmmm. That wasn’t the reason given at the time. Can you still view the site? The explanation given is in this thread… Something about a “sky fairy” 😂 imdb2.freeforums.net/thread/76758/long-arcarcarcarcarcarc-startonThat was really something. Very entertaining. So much history.

Folks can express both positive and negative opinion without retaliation or judgement.

Seriously though, I haven’t seen any personal attacks, fighting or outright trolling on the marvel board in a long time. In fact, v2 is very VERY civil in general provided you don’t go near the politics board. If you think v2 is bad, don’t go anywhere near Reddit.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I’ve routinely been perfectly fine expressing my positive thoughts on Marvel and also completely fine expressing my negative thoughts on Marvel. No disrespect, no smug condescension, no thinly veiled rage- things you’ll encounter on Reddit constantly. Seriously, I posted a slightly critical comment on Mario Kart 8 on Reddit and got so much angry obnoxious backlash it was ridiculous.

Of course it all depends on how well you can deal with people not liking things you like. I personally enjoy seeing opposing opinions so long as they are respectful. It’s no secret I never went in for the whole “let’s all be completely positive about our franchise 100% of the time” thing. No offense.

I was fine with the guy. Thought it was funny. He was obviously gaslighting, not that I support that behavior or anything

But honestly I found him very easy to ignore. It was always quite silly to me that people got triggered and fed his threads. It was like “I HATE YOU… so I’m gonna post in your thread for 10 pages.” Which is EXACTLY what he wanted!😂 That said, I don’t defend his behavior. I get why folks didn’t like him being there.

Almost all the regs on the MCU board now are very mild mannered and respectful. There’s arguably one exception to that- but I won’t call that user out, even though he likely won’t see this post here since he’s not a member.

I do think he should’ve been banned way sooner, but I was never even remotely offended by any of it. It was just too absurd to even argue with. I saw posters getting triggered and thought “Really? You took THAT seriously?” 😂 Again, not defending or condoning it in anyway. But, still.

No disrespect, no smug condescension, no thinly veiled rageFunny, that's^ all I ever seemed to get when I posted my opinions that people didn't agree with. Of course it all depends on how well you can deal with people not liking things you like. I'm fine with it...it was all those who replied with negativity that clearly weren't. When I first joined IMDB 2.1 (back when it was just IMDB 2), I posted my thoughts on things...but soon learned that the best I could expect was to be ignored and the worst I could expect was someone to be negative towards me simply for expressing a different opinion. Since then, probably 90% of my posting is just pics/GIFs (and the occasional video) and I might post the occasional thought on something in threads where I know only decent folks will reply. Contrast that with here, where pics/GIFs/vids probably only make up about 50% of my posting and the rest is me actually expressing my thoughts on things. If nobody's caused you grief on IMDB 2.1, then you're lucky. If it's a choice between either being ignored my the elitists on there or attacked by the mentally unbalanced sorts...I choose to just post pics/GIFs and keep my thoughts on things (mostly) to myself.

I’ve had some bad experiences over there for sure. Not all the posters are nice. But my experience is pretty much opposite of yours somehow. 99% of the negative experiences have been on other sites.

I can understand why that may be a turn off. To be honest, I agree with a lot of the recent criticism of Phase Four. So maybe that’s why I’m okay with it being more negative of late. But I also don’t really mind it when others are critical. I loved Dr Strange MoM but was fine with some of the negative posts about it- I definitely pushed back against some of them, all in good spirit. The thing is that for a lot of people we need to voice frustration when we are disappointed by something we wanted to like. It’s part of being a fan. And there’s no shame in giving in to these natural urges so long as you stay safe and responsible.

Hating on the MCU was always the default setting over there.

Btw, ArArArchStanton is still revered as a legend over there. Every once in a while his old threads are bumped. Mostly by me and AQUA KEN! , but still.

Lol.
