So sending death threats/hate mail = fine, but describing the circumstances of a fictional former slave in a video game = lifetime ban.

I was just thinking this is why it was so important that we have this forum. If you recall the team at Bioware thought that their main platform for interacting with fans ought to be Facebook and Twitter. May be they just wanted to avoid negativity but it is apparent from this latest action by Twitter that it is going to prevent even discussion about the actual story they have written if it includes darker aspects from their game world. Good luck talking about anything to do with the darker aspects of Tevinter in the future then.
So once again, Sofajockey, thank you for creating a space where we can.

So, moderated, occasionally toxic BSN,with human, moderators was shut down in favour of a limited character platform that bans people from talking about fictional characters & fictional events or did I miss something here?

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

Twitter is the dumbest social media platform.
No, it's LinkedIn.
Obviously it's Facebook.
Guess how many I use?
1, LinkedIn. I visit the site maybe every other week. Social media is for children, just look at Prez Cheeto.

I signed up on LinkedIn for work and I'm mostly sorry about it. I swear some people posting profiles there have it confused with a dating service. Not to mention all the nice people in China who would just love for me to buy whatever it is they are selling. I tend to ignore most requests unless they are from people I already know/of through work.

We live in a world where people get banned for talking about fictional characters and fictional events Well, people get banned all the time for saying bad things about religion so this is basically the same thing

In time BioWare (or EA, whoever made the decision) might regret leaving their 'interaction with the fans' to a third party site. They have no control over moderation and are exposed to the general public who have no clue about slavery or racism in the context of ME or DA. Topics we cover would seem terrible to a normie, so trying to discuss them on Twitter will end up in bans like this. However discussing them within a group of people who understand the context, buy a bunch of your stuff, and follow your work is far far more valuable, open and useful. Thank the Maker a decent lifeboat was launched. Sure we're small and the site has it's limits, but the kind of discussions the mods have always allowed here are vital. Even if we get labelled 'toxic' once in a while.

Yup, I mean AHQ, Bioware is of course an EA studio. And sure the devs don't post there but if Twitter bans becomes a problem they do have a forum where they themselves are in control of things like that.

This is such an awesome story, watch out, people. Discuss Fenris, get banned for violence / hate speech. C.Supreme @niccihowe - Jul 2 I’m back! What happened to Fenris was so awful that Twitter banned me for a day just for describing it. I was forced to delete the tweet to regain access to my account. #DragonAge @biomarkdarrah @biowareproblems @bioware @mike _Laidlaw @davidgaider @patrickweekes
