Welcome to the full season of looking into the context of things.

As requested by a fan of the show, I'm making a post to look into all the banned images I could find to deep dive into the context of why these bans have happened and if they are done in bad faith.

Because context matters :D

episode 1

episode 2

episode 3

As part of the three episode season 1, we have three extra exclusive bonus episodes:

episode 4

At first I was reluctant to go into it, but as one user suggested it'd be good to find all the banned images and post the context behind them as going by my first three it's very very very clear that a lot of the ban posts are out of context, but damn doing this was worth it just for this one.

I found him on steam since same username, strangely he has deleted every single one of his posts on warhammer 3 forums, it's probably not by CA as CA haven't done that for the others (oh how I was potentially so so wrong!), this is highly suspicious behavior that I haven't seen anyone do before and it makes me personally believe this person has done other stuff to warrant it, there is quotations of some of his old stuff on there so it's clear he's talked before but it's mostly stuff from before this, all the comments are gone tho. This is all public information so you can look it up yourself.

However, in his defense, it could be that he just rage deleted all out of salt and let's be real, we've all been there.

say you are a gamer without saying you were. But it could also be that he did something especially bad and warranted deletion, or maybe a permanent ban deletes all?

So going by all we have that "they'll cave when they don't make money" is it something they could technically ban you for, eh probably depending on the context of what the other stuff he said was it's probably one post ban umbrella'ing all other posts, but personally I wouldn't have banned him.

Context meter: 50/50, inconclusive, too little information with dodgy context surrounding it.

episode 5

What a cool username, eitherway it was clearly just a 24h ban as they are back to talking, so far all I can find is him calling someone a crybaby, as well as a comment saying those poor people to someone saying they work in healthcare.

I'm going to give this one a, reallllly? unless the user deleted the comment for what they got banned for then there is no way this is ban worthy. cool username dude, my heart goes out to you but chill on the healthcare people, we need them! xD

episode 6

/u/Vitruviansquid1 says in the comments that this person spent the whole day just replying in every thread and insulting people.

Looking into this one, this guys a piece of work, he's defending CA in a way that's clearly meant to rile up people, and he's subtlety with how he does stuff is pretty well done, he's criticising people for things he himself is doing like forum hoping tho and he's banned on total war pharaoh too, his whole post history on total war warhammer 3 is gone which makes me wonder if CA do delete posts by users but only if they get extreme enough and the ban is permanent maybe? but in that case why is his pharaoh ones still up, I guess he didn't cross the line there.

Oh yeah this guy is a piece of work, hypocritical as it gets, praises civility then calls people childish and seems to be what I'd call a career troll and good at what he does, but in a low key toxic way, stuff like calling people child etc that obviously gets under peoples skin.

This really makes me wonder what the other guy did to get his stuff also deleted.

Anyway, there you go, I hope this was what you meant /u/Ar_Azrubel_

Honestly, all of it is pretty much showing these people aren't unfairly banned with the exception of one person, but they could've always deleted the ban worthy post.

This doesn't make some of the bad people, we ALL have our bad days so please don't give anyone any shit, just be aware that the picture you receive from people isn't always the truth.

And context matters so much so.

Have a nice day. I'm done.
