@crawfish “Be kind, be polite, but always have a plan to kill everyone in the room.”
Just in case.

@crawfish nothing will ever beat the day that I imposter crewmated to help Smile kill you guys off. It’s a happy lil memory.

@Meg I have video proof and I covet them. I listen to them when I’m stressed or sad and they always cheer me up.

Imagine being placed, by virtue of anything, into a clique that contains vulgarkitten, ghost, and derp
the horror
the absolute unbearable heft of the oof -
Just for the unbearable assclowns in the back, it isn’t leaving people alone if you keep lying about them.

Love having my ethics called into question when I am unable to defend myself. They are doing great with this kinder, gentler version of MSB.

Conveniently leaving off the “threatening” descriptor from “I just sent DMs to somebody I didn’t know had me blocked on multiple platforms” is my favorite part. Also, naming you an abuser isn’t implying you’re a rapist. It’s naming you an abuser. Because you fucking sent me threatening DMs here when I had you blocked on multiple other platforms. Which is abusive. Which makes you an abuser.
Asshat.
There is NO PLANET on which telling someone who has you blocked “talk to me or I will spread lies about you” is anything except abusive. And frankly, that you leveled an ultimatum like that to begin with (the demand to engage with you) belies that you didn’t know you were blocked. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have needed a fucking ultimatum.

The thing is that I used to think hobos was basically a harmless guy that just wasn’t a good fit for Arx. That’s it. There was no conspiracy or even dislike there. I was frustrated because I was the one, during the initial incident, that declined to ban him the first time because I didn’t think he was a terrible guy but that was it. I was only frustrated because I was really hoping that he would get it after the first warning.
Seeing how he has acted since that ban just makes me sad. Either I was entirely deluded about him (most likely scenario) or the company he is currently keeping is teaching him some really nasty, toxic habits.
-
My second favorite part is that every single person who asks questions or offers criticism there is OBVIOUSLY sent over there by the people here to stir up trouble.
I don’t think they could say any more clearly that they don’t actually want anyone there that also happens to be here. At least if you’re going to do anything at all besides lick their assholes.
eta: Posting public lies about people who can read them but are unable to respond or participate is exactly poking the bear, you motherfucking disingenuous assholes.

Right? Like, ‘oh we are just here talking about books and RP and YOU GUYS are being the troublemakers’. Except… there is someone there maligning an entire staff of a game (a couple of which are banned and cannot counter the lies being told) and they only seem to speak up when someone that isn’t in their ‘clique’ speaks up about anything.
-
man, it brings me back to the time where I hadn’t been on a MU* or RPed in like, half a year, and Ghost tagged me out of nowhere to accuse me of being part of the clique.
good times, good times.
-
@Herja Don’t forget the clumsy ban threats used to enforce things and encourage the group think, going alongside the rather unpleasant othering of the former posters (‘culled’ was one of the terms I saw wasn’t it? Part time amateur social eugenicists at play)

The fact of the matter is, the overarching narrative there right now isn’t wrong. There was a schism, and it is generally positive for the hobby to have it split off.
The thing is though, who left was not a single clique.
It was everyone EXCEPT for a single clique.
There’s like 5 very distinct “social groups” inhabiting this place, and we’ve already seen scuffles between them that were dealt with immediately and generally amiably. There’s a last holdout of a second social group over there that hasn’t left yet, but given every time one of them speaks up the dominant group there accuses them of being “BMD”, I suspect they’ll be joining us sooner (rather than later).
Look at who is claiming that place as a “safe space, now”. Stalkers, harassers, abusers, gaslighters, and the people who enable them. Whoopdie do.
They can look at what they’ve built and be happy with it. I’d be mortified to have built an exclusive club for the worst people the hobby has to offer, but hey. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

@IoleRae It deeply upsets my Libra desire for justice.
-
I really resent that simply saying,
“Hey, no, actually, these people you’re trying to make a case for were actually quite awful, and here’s why: …”
Got me the BMD agenda argument.
Like holy shit, did I poll you guys first in my sleep? Do we have a super sekrit Discord server I’m in without knowing it? Do you have me at knifepoint? Am I sleeper agent? Did someone activate me!? If so, I at least want someone to play “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
-
I am fucking furious at what they did to something I loved. But there’s nothing to be done with that anger except to feel it, vent it, and then move past it. I believe that I am in the “venting” stage of that right now; I am no longer seeing white, so there’s that. If I thought it would matter I would be over there screaming at the top of my lungs, “GIVE IT BACK TO ME RIGHT NOW YOU AWFUL, TERRIBLE PEOPLE.”
