Oblivion Remastered subreddit bans "Sexy Flame Atronach" because moderators "cannot take any more" thirstposting: "Divines forgive us"
The "low effort" posts are becoming too much

It's official – fans of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered from Bethesda Game Studios are no longer allowed to lust after flame atronachs on the RPG's subreddit.
Moderators overseeing the Oblivion Remastered community reveal as much in a hilariously unsurprising new announcement thread they aptly dub "no more low effort 'Sexy Flame Atronach' posts." The thirstposting, it seems, has simply become too much.
"Halt! We cannot take any more Sexy Flame Atronach posts," exclaim the subreddit's mods. "Going forward these low effort posts will be removed. Divines forgive us."
Attached to the mods' thread is a collage featuring various screenshots from the subreddit – and yes, they're all of flame atronachs in some… interesting positions. Over the top of the collage stands an Oblivion guard holding a massive clock, signifying that it is indeed time for fans of the remaster to stop hornyposting in the community. As expected, the comments are just as amusing as the mods' pleas for an end to the lusting.
No more low effort 'Sexy Flame Atronach' posts from r/oblivion
One person jokingly asks, "So high effort Sexy Flame Atronach posts will still be allowed?" Another jests that it's "finally, spider Daedra's time to shine!"
Elsewhere, someone adds a similar question: "How bout the spriggans? Quite cheeked up as well. Or so I've heard." There's no telling whether or not some of these other shapely, if you will, creatures will take the baton from flame atronachs as the subreddit's new NSFW icons just yet.
As a longtime Elder Scrolls fan myself, however, I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see an uptick in spriggan-related posts. For any especially disappointed stans, though, there are still plenty of avenues for flame atronach shenanigans.

Here's everything you need to know about The Elder Scrolls 6 after replaying Oblivion.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
