World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

Ok tbh this expansion gets boring and confusing. Infact, it caused Jimothy here to quit WoW.

Jimothy is playing World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
Jimothy: this is boring and confusing
And then he quit.

Trauma from Shadowban

The uniquely paranoid and gaslit cousin of a regular ban. Your posts, comments, or existence become invisible to everyone but you, turning you into a digital ghost. The trauma comes from the sustained psychological erosion—you keep shouting into the void, wondering why no one likes, replies, or acknowledges you. You question your sanity, your social worth, and the very fabric of online reality. It’s a slow-drip torture of self-doubt imposed by an automated system that refuses to confirm your punishment, making you complicit in your own silencing.

Example: "She spent months thinking her jokes just weren't funny anymore. Turns out she had trauma from a shadowban; the app had silently muted her for a sarcastic comment. Her entire online personality collapsed from the sustained, invisible rejection before she figured it out." Trauma from Shadowban

Trauma from Reddit Shadowban

A double-layered hell specific to the site's often-Byzantine moderation. You can still post, but your votes don't count and your comments are hidden unless a moderator manually approves them. The trauma is a masterclass in futility and paranoia. You meticulously craft responses in r/AskHistorians, only to never see them appear. You upvote a cause you believe in, providing zero support. You message the admins and get an automated reply about "server issues." It feels like being trapped in a glass box, pounding on the walls while the entire world scrolls past, oblivious to your existence.

*Example: "He wrote a 5000-word, sourced breakdown on economic policy, got two upvotes (both his own alts), and no replies. His trauma from a Reddit shadowban convinced him he was just deeply stupid and boring, until he discovered the ban a year later via a third-party website."* Trauma from Reddit Shadowban
