Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The heritage outrage is ridiculous as these can easily be removed in the future and it's not the end of the world that it looks different for who knows how long.

What I can't agree with is keeping them in the first place, it looks out of place and tacky. And what the fuck was even memorable about these Olympics, shitting in a river, a Dutch child rapist, and Australia committing crimes against humanity under the guise of breakdancing?

Fundies being offended at the opening was cool.

Yes! Gojira and the Dionysius scene were amazing!

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from 'generic sport stadium A'.
