I logged out and since im also on a new phone it’s require resetting my password to log back in. Which, in the end, is too much work to deal with just to flip them off.
Im not going to answer their bullshit question about whether or not my PCs were in a relationship with Isaac, because I shouldn’t have to.
Macha talking about how the scene was triggering for her too is hilarious because WHY SCENE IT if it upsets you?
Like, literally, why initiate it if it upsets you? It’s like someone who says they don’t like fire because they got burnt by a fire in the past, yet keeps buying matches and burning other peoples houses down.

Because she’s lying and using the stolen trauma of actual victims as cover for her abuse. Fucking despicable.

I absolutely do not want to get into any sort of discussion about whether or not someone is lying about having experienced something like that. Let’s just not. Please.
Someone can experience traumatic things and still go on to do shitty things. We don’t have to get into an invalidation of whether someone’s trauma happened.
-
I don’t take a position on whether she is lying about being sexually assaulted. Rape survivors can be assholes like anyone else & playing out storylines related to sexual assault isn’t actually that weird a thing for a sexual assault survivor to want to do. Victims becoming abusers themselves isn’t even that unlikely statistically.
She’s absolutely lying about her own behavior and that’s really all the information I need, you know? Her personal life has never been any of my business.
-
@Cobalt I’m not sure if it’s an actual medical or mental condition - but I’ve never, ever seen Macha actually admit actual fault (not without a ‘but’ or redirection of blame). I’ve never heard of her taking a ownership mentality. Has anyone else?
You’ll never ‘win’ with her. She just doesn’t have the ability to accept responsibility. It is never her fault therefore it’s always someone else’s.
At the same time you’ll never ‘win’ with anyone left over there. I support your decision to not go over there on MSB. I think it’s a sound decision. Don’t deposit 5 cents to go stare at the freaks.

MOD VOICE: Do not accuse people of lying regarding self-disclosures of sexual assault.

Real talk, does a ban on Ares wipe the pages? That seems silly. Wouldn’t the pages still exist in the data? Because if there are pages that exist that prove PlayerX/Isaac was actually communicating for the whole of the scene and saying everything was OK, I am going to say it:
That casts this whole incident in a different light.

Having their own trauma does not excise someone or give them an excuse for being a shitty excuse for a person.
Their trauma is their own. However, it doesn’t give them license to put other people through hell.

When talking about Ares one might want to differentiate between pages on the site and pages as in chatting. Just for clarity’s sake.

I think it’s important to note that this issue didn’t come up because @Cobalt is like reviewing everyone’s scenes for compliance. It was brought to her attention by one of the people in question, so someone wasn’t on board.

Considering who the someone else was, I have no doubt this person reported the scene because they were done with Macha and wanted them off the game so they didn’t expose their harem-building. It is very much part of their MO.

Yeah. Like, Macha definitely has her own toxic traits and issues, but it is sounding more like this incident could entirely be manufactured by PlayerX.

Sort of the danger of being a piece of shit. You lose the benefit of the doubt.

I asked around a little, and it MAY be the case that pages only get wiped when a character is set as Gone (which Mackenzie hasn’t been yet). And the pages would only be wiped from that one character’s account, but not the other person’s they were paging with. Faraday would ofc know for sure, I’m not on the Ares discord.
More general points that are relevant that I know with more confidence I’ve seen discussed is that each game can set how long before page/PM history expires; could be set to days, could be set to years, just depends on what the game runner does. A game admin can’t just easily go and see someone’s PM history, though; the PMs have to be reported to them. (With the usual caveat of “they live in the database somewhere, someone with enough expertise could probably dig them up.” But the system isn’t designed to make them freely accessible.)

@Roz I guess it could be as easy as @Cobalt resetting the password, jumping onto the bit and checking the page history but I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t want to do that.
I also know that Ruiz prefers to keep their communication off-game and will frequently defer to Discord as a method of communicating.
-
@bear_necessities Imagine the landmine of pages in there. If the scene was triggering, I imagine the other stuff could be even worse. I wouldn’t want to look up that history.

Eh. Tucker Carlson has an audience and influence. Ghost is more some guy vaguely near Q-Anon shaman with his iphone out pretending that makes him a journalist.

Okay, that… is a huge red flag to me. Asking to communicate off game has never ended well in my experience.
I don’t trigger easily, but that is definitely something that as soon as it’s suggested it’s “Shields up! Red Alert!”
