Remember when you could just argue about a movie without catching a ban?

I was on a film forum last month and got a 30 day suspension for saying a certain director's new movie felt rushed. Didn't even swear, just said the third act fell apart. Back in like 2012, you could have a full blown flame war over Star Wars prequels and the worst you'd get was a temp mute. Now it feels like any opinion that isn't glowing praise gets flagged as 'toxic.' I saw three other users get banned that same week for similar mild critiques. It's like the goal shifted from discussion to just creating a positive vibe at all costs. Has anyone else noticed mods getting way quicker on the ban button over subjective stuff lately?

Bro that's wild, they're just movies. Maybe the mods are tired of the same old hate.
