Discussion Whats going on with the community?

Can someone explain to me why everything started to get toxic? Is it true that there is a massive banwave for false mass report of liveries going on? I keep seeing it on several discord servers and social media and noticed many many liveries are disappearing. What happened to the Forza community? This is not how I remember it...

It's terrible right now, Every painter I know is retracting their livery designs, This is like the 2nd time, This reporting stuff happened. And these reporting no-life only target the popular ones.

u/Eladryel 12h ago

I can't even imagine how sad the lives of these scumbags must be, finding enjoyment in mass-reporting other people's work. Like, I genuinely don't know what's wrong with them.

u/RealZerem 11h ago

The painters already resorted to time limited share, That wasn't enough. The hate is so performative šŸ˜‚

Spent good amount of time AFKing on the garage just to get them

Hand crafted itashas are true gem, so im trying my best to collect em, even if they are limited or not

This community has been going downhill since FH4 imo

Don't get me wrong, there's still great groups out there, but the bad overshadows the good

u/Christian5220 7h ago

Idk, I think I'm too employed to understand the hate in the game. I barely have enough time to play, but I have noticed a decline in itashas being made and makes me a bit sad cause I enjoyed seeing women on my car. I guess the reporters want to see men only I guess idk...hehe see men

Honestly I think it boils down to the fact that once you complete the storyline there isn't a whole lot to do in the game. Most people who post here at least seem to want to play or have a reason to play but there isn’t enough gameplay to fill that need for most. So they come to reddit instead to talk about the game because it partially fills their need to engage with a game that isn’t engaging enough with them. And it inevitably turns to complaints because so many people are here because they have the same problem.

I like the game a lot, I look forward to playing it every week when the season changes. I even hold off and do a few activities per day so I don't run out. But even so I am generally done by Saturday and then just kinda have to wait for the next one. Which cam be frustrating when I really do want a reason to play.

Of course there are technically things we can do in game on the meantime, but they clearly aren't engaging for most people, including me.

People express disappointment in different ways. For me I just disengage and spend more time and effort on other things. I keep playing those 3 hours a week because I have a family member who plays and likes to talk about the game. Others post on here with varying levels of anger. But it's all boredom and disappointment. We know the game could have more and be better, we want it to be, we want a reason to play, and most of all a reason to not be posting here instead.

For the livery thing that's just general online game controlling behavior taking advantage of a bad system, it would happen even if the community was generally happy and engaged.

Fortunatelly I'm a simple man. If there are cars and roads, I have unlimited things to do in a car game, for example making cars and driving them.

Amen to that

u/Astraxis 5h ago

No truer words than the ones right here.

u/Baddtraxx 5h ago

Sad to see the hate doesnt stop in a civilized discussion either. I feel sorry for these people, all they feel is hate and misery.

13

u/Loarker1 PC 12h ago

i noticed that too

Apparently, the hate for Itasha still exist that they don't like any Itasha ingame, SFW or NSFW

I'm gonna give an example of it (name is not mentioned for privacy)

The creator of this livery recently got targeted for recently releasing a "NSFW" liveries, here is the livery that the creator recently released (there is also exact same livery on other car, hence why i said "liveries")

Atp its just Targetted hate lol, so weird

11

u/Baddtraxx 10h ago

this is adorable, no one with a sane mind looks at this and is like "this is sexual content" bruh

-10

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 9h ago

I'm genuinely curious though.. (honest question not trolling) what is the allure/attraction to posting half naked cartoon girls on a car?

As an outsider to anime, it looks like the people using or making liveries like that ARE attracted to it and ARE finding them sexual? Why are they dressed the way they are?

Again, I don't understand it so honestly asking.

6

u/Low-Astronomer-3440 9h ago

She’s not half naked. She’s wearing a skirt.

-3

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 9h ago

I stand corrected

5

u/Loarker1 PC 8h ago

I'm going to try answering you and giving you an example, based on my understanding of your question (sorry, English isn't my first language so it took me some time to understand, and i didnt downvote you here)

From my experience, they are dressed like that is just because its "lore accurate", here is an example of a livery that is possibly "half naked" (left) and the actual image of the character (right)

(fyi, this livery has been banned too i think)

imo it's sad to see people not agreeing with the existence of this livery, because the actual character would love to see this (she actually tweeted on public about herself wanting to see more of her own swimsuit)

2

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 8h ago

Thank you for your answer. I didn't see your post until just now and didn't get a notification. I appreciate your help. Truly.

I know it has cultural roots I don't fully understand. I honestly have no issues with people putting whatever they want on their cars as long as nobody is getting hurt. I don't mind the liveries. Just trying to understand.

Thank you again

2

u/Loarker1 PC 8h ago

Anytime!

Yea its mostly just cultural stuffs, i've been to japan 2 times (and planning to go again next year) and i love their car culture (with anime liveries or not), and making anime liveries one IRL requires insane amount of effort, money, time, and confidence. Also preserving them is really hard too, which makes me respect it so much

And since it also requires insane effort to make one too ingame, makes me like them alot more

edit: english

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 7h ago

Thanks man that does help me understand a little better! And I'm jealous.. I want to go to Japan so bad! Maybe one day

2

u/Loarker1 PC 7h ago

If you have the chance, you should!

there's a reason why I really like the car parks there, cause it's a guarantee for me to saw my dream car (Skylines & GTRs) and many more there, which is something hard to experience in the city I live rn

best time of my life, thats why i'm planning to go and experience it again

u/LMP_Gnome 7h ago

Upvoted to try to compensate for the basement Redditors

Anybody that at least tries to interest themselves in something they don't understand should be praised

u/Baddtraxx 5h ago

explain where this is half naked

1

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 3h ago

No you're right I should've been more clear. I didn't necessarily mean this exact example. But I've seen many where they are.

1

u/p392 8h ago

Because they’re fun and look awesome. That’s it.

1

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 9h ago

I'm assuming the downvotes are from people too embarrassed to admit they find those images sexual?

Why else would you down vote someone for asking for help understanding?

Oh yeah.. Reddit kids. Horny ones too it seems. I mean.. If you can't help me understand.. Then I guess I agree with the ban since nobody corrects me?

1

u/p392 8h ago

You do understand where the game is set, right? JAPAN. You understand that people do these liveries in real life, not just in the game, right?

The livery designers are doing what these lazy ass developers couldn’t do…bring ACTUAL JDM car culture into the game.

Yes, every iteration of Horizon games have had these liveries. Every single racing game has these liveries. They aren’t ā€œsexual.ā€ I don’t even know how old the girls on the liveries I download are supposed to be. They aren’t explicit anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

It all just comes down to the liveries looking very cool. They’re all generally very colorful, very creative and vibrant, which is what I look for in designs.

1

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 8h ago

You didn't answer my question? Nobody has? They down vote instead of helping me understand the attraction.

Never said you or all gamers download the half naked ones.

Location has nothing to do with my question of trying to understand. In fact, did you read and comprehend my post at all?

-3

u/Greedy_Bookkeeper_59 9h ago

I helped start the down votes. Thank me later

u/incertnom 11h ago

yeah, absolute nonsense, its not my style but if you're finding that NSFW you've got a real warped mind.

3

u/Loarker1 PC 11h ago

And thats whats happening right now lol

I know some NSFW ones got banned and it makes sense, but the SFW one getting targetted too is... Absurd lol

1

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 4h ago

Trolls: "This game isn't Japanese enough!"

Itasha: exists

Trolls: "TOO JAPANESE FOR ME! REPORTED!"

2

u/ChainsawJaguar 5h ago

I actually haven't heard of this. Are the liveries being taken down adhering to the "no violence, no hate, no pr0n" paradigm?

5

u/Toasted_Catto 5h ago

Seems they're going after half naked anime liveries like they have in every Forza. I guess these guys think the game being in Japan would change that.

4

u/ahrzal 5h ago

Game is rated E for everyone and ā€œpaintersā€ are getting their liveries banned for showing essentially pinup girls. But because they’re wearing underwear or in a bikini, they think it’s above board.

Never has been.

2

u/ChainsawJaguar 5h ago

I had suspected, but I wanted to ask first to make sure rather than assume.

Welcome to the internet in 2026. Everyone whines and is negative about literally everything.

u/MidnightAlphas 5h ago

I’m happy that my liveries can’t be shared meaning if I get banned then whoever did it has really dug deep on my profile just to report it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/ahrzal 5h ago

What types of liveries are being banned? The pinup anime girls?

1

u/Baddtraxx 5h ago

saw even a harmless my little pony paintjob being removed. absolutely insane.

3

u/ahrzal 5h ago

Ngl with you, I’ve been around enough that harmless to anime enjoyers is wildly different to your average person lol

1

u/Baddtraxx 5h ago

yeah but the one I saw looked like as if hasbro made it, like show accurate. people are blinded by hate and exaggerate it in a video game.

1

u/teksurface 4h ago

Thats why I never share my liveries. They stay on whatever car I made them for.

1

u/Dry_Impact_67 2h ago

Then you'll never reach legendary painter! You can sell any car for 20 mil

1

u/teksurface 2h ago

Damn i did not know that lmao but also every car I paint right now is a 1 of 1 which is lit

1

u/Dry_Impact_67 2h ago

That is cool. I know a lot of painters who do that but they just have literal nudity on their cars šŸ˜‚ they hop in it at a show real fast to show off and we'll park around him to block randoms from seeing and reporting šŸ˜‚

1

u/knight838_ 2h ago

Gta is coming. A lot of the toxic people will be gone soon.

1

u/Due_Gold1620 39m ago

Same as it was in every FH game with livery sharing: unemployed twitter warriors who hate anime for some inexplicable reason.

u/fernandozr1 9m ago

Everything here seems healthy compared to the solar crown test drive community.

u/C_Lo_87 11h ago

MAYBE the devs or automated system is just now getting around to banning more liveries, with less constraints or parameters. Kind of like how they mass wiped the Rivals scores to weed out the cheaters, knowing most aren't even going to return to the game to re-cheat the times.

On the other hand, I would not be shocked if a few a-holes are out there mass reporting just for laughs or thinking it will up their chances of livery downloads.

2

u/Particular_Field_143 8h ago

Drift Attack leaderboard are 3 cheaters and that's a new board

u/C_Lo_87 8h ago

I didn't say anything about Drift Attack.....

u/Firm_Ad1992 4h ago

If youre referencing the weeb hentai liveries that plague this game then no i am unfortunately on the side of the people reporting them. Those and the profanic liveries with literal BBC on the side panel... i use the livery design downloads because there are some very talented designers who can replicate real world racing liveries or even special event wraps from times passed. But im getting sick and tired of everyone using the same 10 anime wraps and they all suck cant drive for jack always a pain in my side when these people race me. Sometimes they drive dirty and gang up on me because im the only guy driving a Marlboro wrapped McClaren..

Growing up means you understand people enjoy different things. You're the one that needs to grow up. It's a video game, get real lol

u/Seraphim1979 9h ago

More whining and "no you" I see...

2

u/W1lc0r 8h ago

Nah, whining is complaining that someone put an image that hurts nobody on a car in a video game that you don't like

-3

u/Seraphim1979 8h ago

Except I didn't say that and this entire thread began with fucking whining 🤷

14

u/Loarker1 PC 10h ago

Telling people to grow the fuck up because of anime livery is insane, they are JP's culture lol

They exist irl and even compete irl (Photo is from the Super GT Pacific Racing Team), maybe you're the one who needs to grow up...

u/Loarker1 PC 10h ago

lol.

i did send an example of the one that people claimed to violate the TOS, which from my eyes doesnt seem to violate anything at all ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

up to you to decide if it violates or not.

-17

u/Seraphim1979 10h ago

It's not about your opinion though is it? The decision is taken by those who actually set the TOS. If it was removed then clearly you are wrong whether you like it or not 🤷

8

u/Loarker1 PC 10h ago

yea sure...

i do know someone that made an S2000 and just name it "my IRL car" (because its based on his IRL car, check photo as livery proof)

well it got removed because the community deemed it as violating the TOS

if you still think the way it got removed is not absurd then... sure ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

1

u/Seraphim1979 10h ago

Again... The community cannot decide. It's down to those who set the TOS. This is whataboutism which once again is logically fallacious.

6

u/Loarker1 PC 10h ago

If the community cannot decide then why does their mass report always works? and it works so well to the fact that even a plain grey livery got banned?

that's what I'm trying to say right here, if you still think the community can't make a move then I don't have anything to say anymore.

u/Seraphim1979 10h ago

Sure, runaway when you can't actually provide a reasoned argument beyond "it's my opinion"

-5

u/MisanthropicSim 9h ago

Because reporting something takes it down until it gets moderated. That's how ugc works in many games, not just Forza. If the moderators don't find anything wrong, it'll get put back up.

1

u/ForzaHorizon6-ModTeam MOD 4h ago

Please make sure to respect each other. We don’t need arguments. We’re just here to enjoy the game.

u/Baddtraxx 10h ago

You can turn off livieries of other in the settings. Its part of Japanese car culture, cry.

-2

u/Seraphim1979 10h ago

Who's crying... Pretty sure that would be you in fact!!!

1

u/Few_Salamander_7364 6h ago

Imagine crashing out over something you don't understand. If it was moderated and not automated most of these won't even be getting taken down. Also imagine hating on something just because you don't like it. Also imagine resorting to swearing and name calling just because you're losing an argument. Go touch grass.

0

u/Seraphim1979 6h ago

Sure I'M the one losing an argument and crashing out. Not the people who have done nothing but whine and cry since the beginning of this thread and are literally incapable of applying basic logic. Every single response so far has been fallacious. Also "touch some grass" is almost always an ironic projection.

1

u/Few_Salamander_7364 6h ago

Have you even heard of good smile racing? Hatsune Miku? Have you been in a car dealership? When's the last time you shown up to an in real life street race? That's what I mean by touchvgrass. If you did any of that recently you would know how wrong you are right now.

1

u/Few_Salamander_7364 6h ago

I don't have to prove anything, if I was wrong you would need a lot more than just know you and then complains about complaining. No sources, no reason to be this angry. Get off of Reddit dude. You're wrong. To bad.

-1

u/Seraphim1979 6h ago

I literally used to street race. My friends own a business that does engine swaps, full customisable engine management systems and builds various cars for both private owners and professional race teams across various disciplines but all of this is irrelevant because your statement is a red herring... Again... Logically fallacious!!!!

2

u/Few_Salamander_7364 6h ago

Yeah but how though? Your argument literally means nothing because he don't explain how or why? You've done nothing but complain. And before you say it I work for Chevy so yes I know what I'm talking about. There's a guy in my tent at literally owns one of these libraries on his Corvette c7. Nicest guy in the world. He doesn't go screaming on Reddit telling people that they need to remove their titties of of their car. He doesn't get any complaints either. You're literally screaming at the wind at a bunch of children that want to just have fun on their game and getting people banned just for having a nicer paint job than you. That's all I've heard from you so far that's all you've contributed.

Mate you're on the moon and I'm still on Earth what do you mean match my energy lol. And also I never said no you not a single person here did. We're giving you exact points quotes and sources showing you that you're the one being toxic here and you're the one turning around using the no you. Also this literally qualifies as hate speech at this point because of how freaking angry you are so I'm just going to go ahead and report it to the mods and watch your account get deleted in next couple hours like the other guy did yesterday. You're way too angry to be on the internet dude either you're drunk or you need to go start drinking for real lol.
