Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread

@kalakh said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:
The first thread in six months was someone complaining about being banned, followed immediately by a bunch of wild speculation about a game runner only banning someone because they were TS jealous or some shit (damn, never heard that one before, very original).
“my friend can’t have broken the rules on that game because the gamerunner is probably a whore,” says man who definitely doesn’t hate women

Don’t forget the part that Gany then stepped down out of admin after she killed it, leaving Derp & friends to turn it into the complete shitshow it is today
I actually had no idea she had stepped down. I mean, I guess that made sense after all that happened.

This feels like it’s getting a little much.
ETA: I certainly think that Macha is manipulative and she’s not someone I want to play with, but she’s not, as far as I can tell and what others have said, an insidious game killer. She’s not an insidious sexual predator people need serious protection from. For The Pack, she seemed like just one among several incidents Cobalt decided she didn’t want to deal with. Her behavior generally makes itself pretty obvious.

@Roz said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:
She’s not an insidious sexual predator people need serious protection from.
She absolutely is an insidious sexual predator, it just so happens her targets are typically male presenting characters, and she’s a woman, and that’s rarely taken as seriously as it should be, often including by those she’s victimized, because they don’t want to take away from “real” victims.
Her predatory behavior might be less overtly offensive than when some dude character pages a female character out of the blue to ask “u wan sum fuk”, but it’s still predatory and sexual in nature, because she refuses to take no for an answer and will keep pestering the object of her unwanted affection until they either give in, involve staff (at which point the complaining player becomes a harassment target for her and any friends she may have), or they leave the game.
If he happens to have a reason or obstacle not to give her sum fuk, it must be destroyed.
If the obstacle is another person, she will try to make the IC and OOC relationship go sour and drive the romantic partner in her way off the game. This includes telling wildly exaggerated or wholly invented stories about other players that she can’t back up with logs. She will page the object of her affections outright lies to try and get them to break up.
If it’s the object of her obsession’s player simply not wanting to give her sum fuk, either because he doesn’t like her or he’s gay or he’s just not into romantic RP?She will do everything she can to drive that player off so she can install a new player who will fuck her like he’s “MEANT” to.
If she has staff power, she has no problem using that to make players feel unsafe and unwelcome on what ever game was idiotic enough to give her a wizbit.
These behaviors are highly toxic, sexually predatory, and game breaking, and keeping track of where she’s been serves a purpose of informing folks that they may have encountered her before.

God, I hate to revive this thread, but…
A friend of mine got a random, unexpected message from someone today that seems an awful lot like they’d be Macha, especially given the name. But said friend also doesn’t BMD, so has no way of confirming that.
I’d rather not go blasting someone’s private Discord contact info in public, so could someone who was involved in any of the previously menioned Discords with Macha please PM me?
-
I don’t know this person like at all. But I am haunted by a story I heard about them like actively being malicious about the RL of someone they MUSH hated. Bleh.
-
@Aria It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Macha or not, I hope you’re friend takes steps to keep themselves safe, mentally and emotionally.
-
@Aria I mean, they could just ignore it? If it’s random and unexpected and there is reason to suspect it’s macha?
