A Degenerate Rebrand

A Degenerate Rebrand was the 15th season of SD Smash and the Syndicate Saga.
The people of SD woke up to an early morning announcement, Purah had some important news to share with everyone. The kingdom of SD was reverting back to it's old name: SD Smash to preserve it's roots after a major outcry, they also added 2 new moderators to the team: WizardGeno and Dr. Ganondorf. aswell as 4 new ambassadors called the "subspace emissary" in Duke, Unknown, -N- and Eric. SD's name change wouldn't be the last controversy however. SD Smash went through a lot in its first 6 months, it was known as being an incredibly toxic and hostile enviroment and first, and only attracted the worst kinds of people. It took them a long time to become what they are today, some of the laws they had to implement was the banning of certain words, which included racist and homophobic slurs. Most people didn't mind these new laws, but people kept breaking it anyways, and the SD high council had an idea that would throw SD back into a big pile of drama.
General town was now going to be a hard no-degen zone with a few channel-specific filters in place in order to make enforcement easier. It isn't worlds different from what they already had, but SD was still dead serious about clamping down on the degeneracy. Degeneral town however had to some massively significant changes from chaos. The word filters was being loosened to allow previously banned offensive language that's filtered on other channels. Offensive and distasteful conversations and jokes were allowed so long as they don't behave with genuine malice. Suggestive pics would be allowed again with two caveats: pornographic images are still banned, and posting random suggestive things and derailing conversations would not fly. While it wasn't going to be an outright 18+ channel, it would be flagged NSFW for offensive content.
This sparked outrage in some people, demanding that Degenral would filter the offensive slurs as they had no purpose in being allowed. Some of these protestors included Meridian, Void Kirb and even the high council themselves. There were rumors that most high council members did not agree with this change, but that NocturnalQuill forced it against them, putting doubts on whether he was actually any better than Winnarly after all. Nocturnal refused to listen to any criticizm and left Degenral the way it was. Casting unease and suspicions on their previously beloved leader.
