Not liking the "no bad mouthing 4Kids" thing

[Worlder]

Well apparently I sometimes bad mouth about 4Kids Entertainment on the chaoticgame forums.

Chaotic|Teia apparently keeps warning me about how deflammatory remarks about the company could result in having my account moderated.

Seriously, Sonic fans occasionally bad mouth SEGA on the SEGA Boards, but they don't have to put up with internet authoritarian crap.

Well come on, if you bad mouth 4Kids then some of the kids there may listen to your points and feel like bad mouthing 4Kids themselves. And since it is 4Kids giving money to TC Digital and the rest of the guys working on Chaotic, they probably don't want any trouble with petty boycotts from gullible children.

Anyways, what kind of things could you have said that made her message you, mind posting some stuff down to see if her complaint to you was justified?

First off SEGA's a big company, so I'm sure they're used to the mud slinging. Even though the CG forum Isn't the 4kids forum, It's still a part of the 4kids company. I mean, atleast the forum Isn't spammed up on a daily basis by Crash fans of the first four PS1 games like the Vivendi Universal forums Is(because of the spam, I go to an awesome fan-made Crash forum). And besides, no matter how much you mud sling, they're just going to ignore you, ban you from the forum, and keep on doing what they're doing. I mean, I heard 4kids got the right to do the english dub of YuGiOh 5D's, so they aren't stopping just yet. And also, all of those anti-4kids people are angry because Sonic In SSBB Isn't being voiced by the original voice actor. His voice almost sounds the same as the old one, and Sonic works well as a playable character. So all Is well In my book. Well, I did sort of add on to Worlder's petition about forum signatures, and I got steemed over when Chaotic Tea said "Hooray!" over the fact that 100 words were filtered out. The thing Is that, my ban on the forum was a tempo, but the banning feature Is glitched, so my forum account Is at the bottom of the well. XD

But anyway, Worlder, what did you exactly say?

"Yes, this is completely against 4Kids conservative animation policies. But hey that is one reason why they fucking* s\uck so badly."

Any further such behavior will result in moderation actions against your account.

*Actually I purposely typed "f**king"

Yeah I want to make the usual 1st A excuse, but I am not sure if this is the forum equivalent of yelling fire in a theatre when there is no fire.

Does the "A" happen to stand for "Al" as In, "Al Kahn?".

No, it stands for First Amendment.

Well the UN support freedom of speech and expression (which I personally think everyone should be in support of), and the Internet is a tool for that. So I don't think they could seriously ban someone for just badmouthing 4Kids. But swearing, maybe since there are (or atleast there's meant to be) loads of kids on CG and the whole reason they had a filter in the first place, would probably get them annoyed.

So I think it'd be out of order for them to to say they'd ban you (and in fact censor your views from the status quo and making you look bad by banning you-- where they'd also be setting an example; see parallels in real life authoritarianism if you will, but that might just be taking things too seriosuly); but then swearing can be seen as intimidating, but even then they should make it clear that it would be because of the swearing and not your personal opinions.

No one has yet answered my question:

What has 4Kids Entertainment done recently that could be considered unfavorable or uncalled for?

As long as no one is cursing, staying away from defamatory remarks about other poster, and not spamming, you can talk about Chaotic & 4Kids as much as you like -- good or bad.
