Language policing sad day for imdb


Imdb have decided this is no longer a positive experience for us. They are actively saying there is too much bullying going on. Language policing, so they are taking away our voice. Political left ways of thinking that buy into this argument of pc culture of what is acceptable and not. *beep* imdb.

Our movies make up our lives and we are lead by these stories as they imitate life. And soon we don't have a community to express our views,discuss,reflect on a film or see if people genuinely like it. This is a huge loss for some of us.

There are lots of feminist groups that push this word policing and try to actively stop internet bullying and now those views have slowly sunk in to the public.

Freedom of speech is integral to our values and way of life, these groups are doing damage in what they consider to be the greator good. Left ways of thinking that are actually more Orwellian than they realize.

Sad day.

Totally agree. Why people can't ignore others on here, even with an ignore option. Better still report and IMDb ban those offending others within reason.

No reason at all to shut down the boards and spoil it for the majority of us movie lovers

No swearing allowed, but the daily onslaught by the media of forcing over hyped and talentless celebs in people's faces is seen as great.
Now girls are being brainwashed to think being thick, talentless, cheap looking orange wags who make a living selling dumb stories about their designer handbag that they can't pronounce name of, or making a Kardashian type sx tape and leaking to media is a career choice.

Wooooooow I can't believe it. I know every message board online has at least one whinging loser using every subject online to whinge on about feminists or women in general, but never thought it would be on Trainspotting boards.

Goes to show the annoying whingers are everywhere now. I just hope it's because the real men are out there being hero gentlemen, and the only place anybody will listen to the whinger wimps who feel threatened by women is online, because they've had injunctions taken out on them offline.

Are you in the USA? I never used to think about sexism much until I started reading online message boards, and was shocked that every comment section online no matter what the subject has losers crying about how it isn't fair women this or that, or how they feel threatened by feminists.
I hoped it might just be Americans as Americans can be annoying in general, so what they refer to as feminists might just be some annoying big mouth talking nonsense and then they might have a point, instead of people fighting against the abuse and subjugation of women. Or do annoying Americans now have an influence on losers in Europe and they're also filling comment sections with their whinging about feminists this, feminists that, cry cry, blah blah. No feminist in the world is as annoying or useless as those pathetic ones who seriously feel threatened by women fighting against abuse.

I bet I could put money on it every message this user posts will be blah blah, feminists this, feminists that, women this, women that. I feel threatened by women who fight against abuse and subjugation since all the women I know have taken out injunctions on me, so all I have is online where anybody will listen to me.

You're overthinking it. I reckon they're just doing it to cut server costs.

This is absolute tosh OP

I'm a 'femininazi' as some bellend would probably say and I would NEVER advocate shutting down msg boards. If bullying goes on then there needs to be better moderation or people can toddle their poor butts off somewhere else if they can't handle imdb ribbing ffs.

Closing down message boards because of the experience not being 'positive' is a blatant excuse imdb are makung.

Who knows what the real reason is. Maybe film makers are lobbying for us not to be able to give free opinions for their work. Maybe there isn't enough ways for them to monetise our thoughts.

It's not because of the ferking Left you total idiot.

Good. I'm glad.
