'The Oblivion community's obsession with the remastered Flame Atronach leads to subreddit ban'

The moderators of the Oblivion subreddit took action to ban posts about the remastered Flame Atronach, citing an overwhelming number of inappropriate posts.

In a surprising turn of events, the moderators of the TES4 subreddit announced a ban on posts featuring the remastered Flame Atronach, which has seen an overabundance of inappropriate content from the community. This action was taken amidst a growing trend of ‘hornyposting’ that centered around the character, a development attributed to the enhanced and notably alluring design of the remastered Flame Atronach.

As the popular gaming community reacted, discussions ensued comparing the moderators’ actions to ’totalitarianism,’ with many participants feeling stifled and expressing their dissatisfaction in various ways.

In light of this ban, the community humorously shifted its focus toward Frost Atronachs, introducing memes and discussions about these icy counterparts instead. The moderators clarified that while the community can still express its creativity, certain posts that are deemed low effort or inappropriate will continue to be removed.

Community Reaction

Following the ban, users posted messages like ‘Can’t have anything in Cyrodiil anymore’, while others attempted to voice their frustrations directly to the moderators. The humorous rebellion continued as many users began humorous threads about the Frost Atronachs, indicating that community spirit can thrive even in times of restriction.
