Okay, but surely we agree that forum posts calling to boycott the game are reasonable to remove? If I made a game and had a forum for it, I would ban users posting calling to boycott the game.

Complaints about bugs, lack of quality, constructive criticism are all completely fair, but using the forum as a platform to campaign against the very game?

Considering it's a steam forum too, it's like entering a shop and telling other customers not to buy the wares.

The zeal and insanity I have seen in Total War Warhammer 3 fans-turned-haters has been unlike anything I've seen anywhere else. The sheer stupidity of the boycot situation is astounding.

The Chaos Dwarfs DLC was such a massive labour of love, and was so clearly so even if you didn't look into the background details like how they reached out to the Chaos Dwarfs Online forum. The fact that people were outraged it cost £5 more than the previous DLC was ridiculous, especially after all the difficulties they had with bringing TW:Warhammer 3 to market and the crazy preceding year of inflation.

Genuine r/insanepeoplefacebook stuff seeing the outrage, even more so when you consider Immortal Empires in 3 doesn't even require the previous games.

This was my first Star Trek Series, I've now realised it's a theme. It's certainly my least favourite aspect of the show.

The episode about child sweatshops in particular felt very accusational to me, the message seemed to be that by existing I'm causing child suffering akin to child murder, through cobalt mines and clothing sweatshops etc.

I'm reminded of that bit in The Good Place where the judge says "There's a chicken burger that, if you eat it, means you hate gay people. And it's so gooood! It's not fair!" (Referring to chik-fil-a)
