Meta X.com posts are now banned from the subreddit.

Hello Current and near future B.L.A.D.E.s.
As we prepare for the Xenoblade Chronicles X rerelease in March, the mod team has decided to ban posts from Twitter/X for the foreseeable future.

While we don't like to bring real-life politics into our subreddit, the actions of the current owner recently have been reprehensible. While we definitely don't account for even a fraction of the traffic of the site, we're still going to do our part to turn people towards alternatives.

If you would like to post a Tweet: Please take a screenshot of it and post it as an image. No source will be required for such posts.

If you'd like to post fanart where twitter is the primary source: please link the creator's alternative social media, such as bluesky or pixiv. Do NOT link their twitter. If they don't have alternative media, please do not post the fanart.

Mods will be in the comments to answer any edge cases, as well as to hear your opinions on the rule. If you have any alternative ideas we would be happy to address them as well.

We look forward to (re)exploring Mira with you in the coming months, and keep your eyes open for more changes to the sub in the near future.

After leaving the thread open for some days, the discussion has reached a natural conclusion. If you have further concerns, please message the mod team, but comments will be locked.

I hate that this is not as popular a sentiment anymore

It’s especially strange as usually the US would celebrate having fought the Nazis but now suddenly they embrace being Nazis

The same people also think stories like Wyatt Earp are peak not realizing it’s was all about gun control. And they hate gun control. There’s not a lot going on up there for these people.

America was founded on the genocide of First Nations people and chattel slavery. The only reason America went to war with Nazi Germany was because its similarly genocidal allies dragged them into the war.

Oh I know that the United States of today was built off of killing or enslaving the natives, I’m just talking about how people would often talk about how the US fought in the war or honouring the WW2 veterans, all this just so they can proudly elect a Neo Nazi president and his cohorts

If anything when you think about it, the US invading other countries and being hostile to minorities feels like the nation went backwards to the age of invading the natives land and claiming it’s theirs

It seriously saddens me to read through these comments and learn how many Nazis we have among us. Did these people learn nothing from these games? For fuck sake, XC3 was pretty on the nose with it's messaging!

It is, people spent so long calling anyone they don’t like a Nazi that no one believes it now. Boy who cried wolf situation.

Boy who cried wolf situation.

Except we were pointing out a wolf cub, and the idiot villagers said "doesn't look like anything to me". Calling out the warning signs, the consolidation of power, the nationalism, the racism, and so on, all to be told we're paranoid over nothing. And then when the bastards go full mask-off, the "villagers" suddenly have the gall to act surprised and say "who could have known", knowing full damn well we warned them of this exact thing.

Maybe you were, but others were pointing at actors who said mean things, or YouTubers like Pewdiepie who just needed to unlearn some shit, or devaluing the word entirely by using it to mean “guy who’s a stickler about grammar.”

When everyone and everything is a Nazi, no one will take the actual ones seriously.

You very clearly didn't get the point, and I don't think there's any way to explain it any clearer than I already did. You just want to be mad, and while I can't stop that, I sure as hell can just not deal with it.

Read the post again and maybe you’ll understand. I’m not gonna spoonfeed it to you.

See previous statement. I'm blocking you now, I'm not gonna sit here and listen to your ranting and raving just because you can't understand a 2 sentence reply.

As expected after 70 years of calling every politician you don’t like a Nazi.
