FWIW none of the bans in question (or out of question since tek’s became a tangential thing) seem unjustified to me at least insofar as ‘the game is better without these people’. Though I’m also kinda curious who this random Scott Summers is if they are entirely new entity in these dramatics.
RIGHT??? So curious.

To make sure I got this…
One of the biggest “bring receipts” cheerleaders brought receipts that show what a creepy Chad-hater he is?
Awesome.

Look at the bright side of life! If there are fresh creeps then that means there are also fresh players coming into the hobby.

I mean, I am sure there are far more generous interpretations of what happened, but after everything is said and done it looks to me like someone took actual real life offense over pretend game events and then weaponised people’s actual real life fear of a known predator in the community to drive a “rival” off the game, possibly knowing the real identity of the person in advance and assuming that the person was disliked enough that the chance that there would be people willing to come to their defense even if the truth came out was fairly low.
That might be an incredibly cynical take but like…honestly I’ve seen shit just as petty go down in this hobby.

I have to admit that’s been my read, too.

@Wizz I had been wondering how long it would take before someone would weaponize another’s terrible reputation as a way to slander someone else’s name.
I’m sure it’s been done, but I don’t know if I had seen down with DWOPP.

Hi.
We pretty much know my feelings about DWOPP and the history there. This is why I’m a bit sad this came down this way. I know it is not personal because most (not all) don’t have an axe to grind with me. Yet, it feels a little personal and I’ll tell you why. I don’t mean this in a gaslight way, just… an explanation.
I don’t feel as they weaponized DWOPP so much as they weaponized MY trauma with it. That doesn’t sit well with me. At all. Here’s why I personally (no receipts to give it’s an opinion) think that.
The person in question had a known Ares handle that was in use before this game? Not DWOPP.
If Betsy (?) was in another relationship with someone that Rich Playboy was jealous of – it was NOT isolating behavior, like DWOPP does.
I did not see where Rich Playboy messaged B girl and said bad things about OP. Again, not a DWOPP red flag.Now was the person creepy? Yes, perhaps. Maybe. Not sure. I have opinions but they are knee jerk. It should have been hey this person has creepy behaviors and then looked into it. When you come to a forum (any forum) people are going to grab some pitchforks around some names.
I feel like (and it’s a feel not a real) that’s what might have happened. It might not even have been intentional but their own knee jerk. The problem is like stated I don’t feel like DWOPP was weaponized, but the trauma of those who he dealt with. This sits badly with me.
It’s okay if you don’t agree, it is truly just my opinion. It’s why I asked (thank you btw) for the title to be changed.
Now autumn is here - plan your pumpkin spice (gross) stuff and let’s be kind.
