Who decided what's a "general" and what's a bunch of people wanting to come together to talk about an airing cartoon or a new cartoon, or an ongoing comic? Who gets to decide WHEN a general has to be forced down? Why does a thread for a show seen with a "cancerous general" have to be deleted or careful with its wording, but a shitposting/off-topic thread can reach bump limit and then get continued in another?
Example is shit like The Loud House having the general in OP, which was pushed there as the show was first coming out, and because of that threads couldn't or could barely be made here on /co/.
Now threads on /trash/ have run their course after only progressively getting worse due to the environment & lack of moderation, and threads here are just hallow imitations or are just plain dead. Shit like this is just asking to repeat what happened with the My Little Pony general and /mlp/, for no reason other than you didn't like seeing people keeping to themselves, despite you practically forcing them to do so.
What if people just want to share images or talk about a show but because there's a "general" on a different board, other people take more effort in pushing people out than just talking about shit that's board related?
The problem with generals, that pic, and all things end up being moderation, both self and from above, and people not being able to stand seeing something they don't have interest in being talked about or popular.
TL;DR: It's not needed, and /trash/ being the "/co/ general" board is dumb but how things are. Both would only perpetuate the very behavior they try to keep down, and limit behaviors that should be the relaxed norm.
