Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
There are no “receipts” that people accept in “our medium.”
Someone shows outside of the game communication? It’s always they shouldn’t have worn that dress and also unfair/not game related.
Someone shows a log? “The log was probably edited by someone with an axe to grind!” “Maybe you shouldn’t have been so sensitive. Gee, I would have been flattered and not taken that so seriously!” " Sometimes the person i could have seen as harassing me turned out to be a Nice Guy/Gal once I just talked to them a little more, so let’s give this awkward person a break and you should be more tolerant."
People take the information presented to them and make a decision. That’s always been the case. It’s just who tends to be “the most believable” is a little more diverse than it was during 90s mushing and a lot of “awkward” behavior is a lot less acceptable, and the culture has shifted away from rules lawyering about who “should” be asked to leave.

Ah, what I thought, an echo chamber.

Congrats, everyone! We have people joining just to toss around ambiguous JAQs and comments about echo chambers without making any concrete or direct refutes to the actual accusations, which means we’ve officially arrived as a MU* forum.

Prove me wrong.

@eddie ah yes, the irrefutable evidence of a dictionary screenshot and asking someone to prove the non-existence of a thing versus proving the existence.
no one is stopping you from posting, which i mean-- i’d think that’s a pretty good evidence there. but go off and do your karen thing here.

Prove you’re not just here to be an irritant about an extremely sensitive topic to a large portion of this community.
-
So when given an opportunity to present facts, you choose ad hominem to attack the person with a different perspective rather than organizing a thought that might elevate your position in the discussion. Yes, classy indeed.

No. You don’t get to come in here today, from nowhere, hiding behind a veil of anonymity that hides the personal stake you clearly have in all this, and appoint yourself the sole arbiter of what are and are not the facts. If you want people to take you seriously, then behave like a serious person. If you want to bark commands like an imperious toddler, then carry on as you are, and I hope you enjoy getting treated like the infant you present yourself as.
-
@eddie I hope this is earning you the brownie points you want with staff and this predatory creep! Good luck!

The irony of commenting about how new I am to the site is also turning a blind eye to the fact that the original poster of these alleged circumstances is only ten days older than my account is. They came out of ‘no where’ placing themselves as the sole arbiter of what’s true and what is not.
I arrive, reading the disgusting commentary about people who are not here to defend themselves and pose a different perspective. However, I am the pariah for calling a spade a spade.
Even in a court of law, a victim must prove to a jury of their peers that they are innocent and the accused is guilty. A community is wrongfully passing judgment without seeing anything more than conjecture. Am I being an infant for asking for more than opinion, belief, or alleged conjecture? If there is wrong doing, how do we go about correcting the issue? That starts with defining the irrefutable facts.
-
How do you propose that folks submit to this high burden of proof you’re demanding? Because logs are so easy to fake on most games.
A system like Ares means that I, as a player, can submit a verified log of what was said to the staff on a game, absolutely. I love that this option exists, as it makes it much harder for abusive people to lie about what they said.
But when staff are the abusers, or actively protecting the abuser, as is accused here, how the hell do you provide this verified proof, because the verification of the log comes from staff.
You can’t. Because admin will never just come out and say ‘Yeah, I’m protecting a sex pest.’
-
@eddie this ain’t a court of law, playing on a game is not a right, and you ain’t defending any innocents, pardner
But also that’s not how a court of law works

So contradict the commentary if you can and share your perspective on the situation. Your first comment was attacking the entire thread. It’s a little disingenuous to follow that up by expecting that no one be defensive toward you.
-
Correct, but I am also a person of principle who takes issue with the victimizing of individuals who are not in a capacity to defend themselves until proven innocent. I am all for protecting victims, but not at the cost of creating more victims to satiate the blood thirst of popular opinion and conjecture. People want justice, and the only way to deliver that is by proving without a doubt you are right and they are wrong. What’s the old saying? Perception is reality (I hate that saying personally), but it applies in most cases until more context and information is provided.
-
@eddie those people are welcome to come here and post.
it’s free to post here.
no one is ‘incapable of defending themselves’ here.
-
@eddie lol lmao
-
@eddie well can they not make an account to defend themselves? This is much like when people try to defend my rights as a minority. When I’m told I should be offended.
-
@Meg You may be right, but how many people would persecute them for their perspective much like mine has been up till this point? Every comment is about discrediting me because of <insert reason> while not addressing the main point I’ve been asking them to prove.

flying monkey sex pest apologist BS won’t someone think of the poor abused sex pests
IDK how to tell you this but your “friend” isn’t gonna be proven innocent, Ed. He’s got multiple accusers in this thread and all he can do is send his flying monkeys in to attack people here. It’s a bad look.
