@kopecup I am one of the players mentioned. Kopecup posted about my experience with permission from me. I don’t really engage with the MU-ing community at large but in the interest of keeping this community fun and safe, I feel like I need to. I can confirm it happened. I have receipts if that becomes necessary. I will put my name out if necessary. This behavior is beyond the pale and it needs to be called out and corrected, or at least a fair warning for the community at large.

I would like to see receipts, and I would ask anytime we (as a community) run into this behavior that just becomes the norm. It’ll save anyone the trouble of being doubted or other parties to scheme, etc.

And how are you related to the situation?
Clearly you made the account to comment on this, and not to just muse on ways we (as a community) should handle things.

Listen. They built themselves a community there that really fits the level of self-awareness and spite this whole thing demonstrated.

I, for one, wish them all the best building a more positive and constructive community with the likes of vulgarkitten, ghost, derp and macha.

Bless that mess.

If you run into this player in the wild you might think they can be friendly and inclusive; at worst pushy, aggressive, and a little disingenuous about their character’s position or significance.

She’s actually much worse than that. This is a person who is ready and willing to lie in order to get close to people who want nothing to do with her.

This is a person who is ready and willing to lie about who they are OOC in order to escape consequences of their own actions, and take it to shocking extremes, such as paging people OOC to ask for dirt on the ‘former player’ - herself.

This is a person who is ready and willing to lie about other people OOC in order to avoid those same consequences.

If she is playing your game and you think she’s not ‘that bad’, well. I thought that, too. Like, not great but not bannable. Yet the amount of drama and stress and heartache and vitriol she is responsible for is staggering. Her possible ‘not that bad’ behavior is not worth it.

“I don’t want to cross the line, I just want to get as close as I can get away with, as often as possible.”

@Cobalt it’s only crying over mush drama if it’s from the champagne region of France, otherwise it’s sparkling emotional manipulation.

It only takes one false accusation to be acted on to break down the trust of an entire community in all directions and destroy the environment

So how many instances would you say it takes to ruin community trust when the event is someone being harassed and made to feel unsafe and unwelcome?

Being banned from a game is not being sent to jail.

It would be REALLY COOL if people could just find things to complain about that are not related to consensual sexual rp. Stop slut shaming. It’s 2023, can we please just leave this behind.

@Pyrephox I want to know a LITTLE of the ooc drama. I just don’t want to be involved in it.

Just a little. As a treat.

It’s just braum

@GF I think it is great, actually. Really only have 2 complaints: a couple of locations had about 1 too many explorable areas/wings to complete puzzles. Just a BIT too long. The other is that getting the icon to actually grab the interactables is finicky as fuck, and it can be real annoying.

I might have preferred the way some things were performed in the original - but only a couple. I got to see someone unfamiliar with the original play this for the first time, and everything landed. All in all, a really pleasant surprise.

@SpilledBeanz sorry, i have to admit i am probably not the target audience to get worked up about this. sorry that happened to you and all, but it just sounds silly to me, and that may be because i am-- 4 years out from any RP?

but when you have a culture of rot, then is more rot really contributing to it when it starts at the top?

It doesn’t really matter how the offense sounds to you as staff; whether you would personally be offended or upset by it, etc. What matters is that behavior is making players uncomfortable enough to complain about it, and the behavior continues despite being told to stop it.

@Warma-Sheen said in Inuki Ban Thread:

I think if you really believed that was real, booting them and isolating them is doing way more harm than good.

I don’t just disagree, I think you are objectively wrong. Harm to whom? Good for whom? Is it the responsibility of a forum about text based roleplaying games to provide mental health treatment? Is it ETHICAL for a forum about text based rp games to provide mental health treatment or advice?

NO.

@Warma-Sheen said in Inuki Ban Thread:

If the experience of someone here is such that it brings them to empathize with people who have taken that drastic action, is the best reaction to boot them?

Yeah. It is when the ‘experience here’ is being reminded of their own words and actions, and the sympathy is displayed to make people stop talking about their own words and actions. Go read Thirdeye’s post if this is a real question of yours.

@Floof maybe you were reading your own rp
maybe you just don’t RECOGNIZE yourself

Yeah, that’s pretty good, damn

@inuki said in Numetal/Retromux:

I understand why people commit suicide over cyberbullying.

This is pretty dramatic for someone who asked for receipts and then got them. Someone presenting your own words is not ‘cyberbullying’.

@Third-Eye RIP to a real one
