I don't get why either. If a member is being messy just thread ban them. This thread will get closed too bye

Because it get outs of hand with generalizations, personal attacks, etc

I blame the patriarchy

Stop lying. There is almost never normal discussions going on in race threads. It's just one big mess.

Because it always gets out of hand, too complex for ATRL, people say really problematic stuff and it brings out the worst in people and people drift off + don't stay on topic.

Sometimes they get off-topic or flamebait-y

Some people resort to racially charged personal insults just because you dont agree with their opinion

because they're


(wait for the gif to get to the second part)
(the first part kind of too though, why not)

If racism hasn't been solved in the real world then I very much doubt it's going to be resolved on a pop forum.

Plus people from different parts of the planet have different viewpoints on racism, so it's actually intensified.

because it's always the same members arguing over and over again.

personal attacks, stupid posts, etc.

Because the mods are sensitive human beings.

Mess

But tbh, it's ATRL, it's probably a good thing. They always descend into chaos so you might as well nip it in the bud
