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.

I think it's obvious the reason why the imdb is disabling the message boards... has anyone noticed that it's slowly became more of a platform for studios to promote their films? This is why the message boards are being scrapped. Doesn't look good when the studio behind last years turkey Inferno paid the imdb mega-$$$ for an enhanced promo-page, and at the bottom of that page there's a message board with endless posts stating how god-awful the movie is.
