my folks moved to a retirement village and my dad is the type who can't sit still so he got involved in neighborhood politics, so he ends up talking to everyone, so he knows everyone's old wrinkly drama. when i go visit them we go on a ride on the golf cart and my dad gives me the breakdown on who's loving who and who's fighting with who, it's a big geriatric soap opera

i work at a retirement village, serving food in their dining room, and i hear the loving wildest poo poo sometimes

there's this one guy who's still got most of his faculties, but whose wife is one of those little old ladies who just started... shrinking at some point (she looks sort of like Cotton Hill) and she can barely move on her own and has to drink out of a little sippy cup. he apparently gets her loving shitfaced drunk without her knowledge (by mixing whatever he usually puts in her sippy cup with whiskey or vodka) before every dinner service so he can go down to the dining room on his own and creep on all the single old ladies

(a running theme with these stories is they also get... Pretty Dark)

e: on a less dark note there's like 5 or 6 closeted lesbian couples there and they're all the absolute nicest goddamn people and are super terrified of the other residents finding them out... but they're not actually all that subtle about it because they're elderly, i'm pretty sure everyone knows, and i haven't once seen them catch hell for it

Zore posted:

It was specifically related to ArcheAge drama. It's one of those MMOs goons set up a guild in. At some point EVE goons noticed that a guy they drove out for bragging about grooming a 14 year old icelandic girl online was playing in the goon ArcheAge guild. They told some admins and those admins did nothing because the guy was a great material farmer. After that, the information got out to the wider guild and led to a nuclear meltdown of drama. One of the admins that wasn't aware of it before logged on, went "WTF" and banned the pedophile, setting off a new round of pedo-defender tears. Kewpah made the ArcheAge thread an endorsed shitpost-zone for a while after that as a well-deserved punishment.

Tokaii's whole QQ "ephebophilia" breakdown was because of the pedo ban.

e- I just noticed that Aphrodite's post links to the ArcheAge thread where the drama was happening. I assumed it was the time after that where he cried about how tragically different the forums had become, which is another great thread so I'll link it here.

puberty worked me over posted:

He should have been gone earlier and there was systematic attempt to push the issue under the rug until a bunch of people brought it up in this thread. In fact people were yelled down in Mumble after bringing it up with goons falling over themselves to tell everyone nothing happened and to shut up about it. We were ordered to funnel Trade Packs to Bob just last night.

Kimsemus posted:

I'm going to be clear on two things, and I want you to read very very carefully.

I work in law IRL. I don't like to do things or kick people based on a lack of evidence or jump to conclusions. As it was explained to me, by multiple people not making GBS threads up the AA thread on SA, this was EVE drama that had spilt over into AA. Again, someone leaked a screencap of a forum post, to me it just seemed like a witch hunt, based on the context of the conversations I was having at the time, both from other people involved and BFM.

If you think really rationally, if you go by the level of evidence offered in this thread, goons can just start accusing each other of being pedos at will to get people kicked, if we're going to keep the burden of proof that low. Maybe things were going on behind the scenes, maybe I don't see the whole picture, but based on the evidence I saw, that was my stance, and I'm not going to backtrack on it or apologize. I don't really know BFM outside of games I've played here, but I'd take that stance to defend anyone instead of immediately hopping on a bandwagon until I was convinced of wrongdoing. That may piss people off, but there are two sides to every story and I'm interested in hearing both before making a decision.

In addition to that, this was discussed last night. I got involved late, but at the time, our guild leader was convinced (again, based on the evidence he had) that him staying was fine. Based on that, I followed his judgment. I'm an officer in the guild as well, so if there was wrongdoing there I take partial responsibility. That's how I see it.

I'm not sorry, however, that I don't immediately jump on bandwagons and convict people of wrongdoing right out of the gate. If it turns out BFM really is a pedophile, and all the accusations are true, then fine, he got what he deserves.

At this point if everyone agrees with him being gone is the right thing to do, fine. But I'm not sorry about immediately turning on someone having just walked into that situation and being told specifically to suppress false rumors. (Again based on evidence at the time)


I was wrong. Now I understand the entire situation and BFM is hosed up.

sct posted:

Kimsemus defending Bob earlier was my fault. I hadn't kept up with the thread at all yesterday. People used to bring up the "bob is a pedo" thing constantly in alpha but always in a joking matter. I never actually knew what happened in EVE in 2009. When people started messaging me in-game telling me "Bob is a pedo what the hell man!" I thought it was just them misunderstanding the joke. Clearly I was way off.

I told Kimsemus to tell everyone to keep his personal life out of ArcheAge and stop witchhunting. After talking to DBRB and others and seeing the posts in this thread this morning I realized how serious this is.

I am sorry to anyone who thought I was trying to sweep his past under the rug. I really just didn't know. A lot of us didn't. He's out of the guild now and we can move on and start talking about ArcheAge again. Please let's all have fun in a video game.

sct posted:

Literally everything I typed to you there was the only poo poo I had heard from people through alpha. Anyone in alpha will back me up on this. People joked about that poo poo constantly. And everything I typed to you was poo poo I heard from Bob himself. I was talking to him in mumble about it getting his side of the story as you were messaging me.

I was wrong and hosed up by taking his side first. I have met him in person so reading all the details today was pretty shocking.

Because you can always trust the pedophile talking to you in mumble, old "jokes" notwithstanding

sct posted:

I already admitted I tried sweeping it under the rug. He also never admitted to being her being underage. He told me he never dated her and he talked poo poo to her and she sent him pictures. He also told me she was 19. This is what he told me last night. This was all I knew and I had no idea the severity of the actual issue.

I made a mistake and backed him before seeing both sides of the story.

Sct and a few of his creepy loyal fans (like Mothra) were driven out and formed their own group very quickly after this horseshit came to light. It was pretty disturbing and the last big thing I did with goons with that kind of scale. gently caress bfm and gently caress sct and all his friends.

Oh you missed the quote where someone defended bfm by saying that 'but he's really good at gathering wool!'

There was so much loving drama in that game, oh my god. Thankfully all of it was so much tamer than 'hey one of the guild admins is a literal pedophile groomer piece of poo poo.' Like fishgate for example.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I tried finding the thread with search, and it is basically impossible to find anything on this website; like, you might want strategy on how to deal with a Dark Souls boss and you type in words on how to overcome physical and mental resistances and how to apply elemental damage effectively and you end get 0 results in games, but hundreds of hits from the e/n On-line Dating thread and the Ask/Tell Sex Questions MEGATHREAD.

I did find a re-make of the thread about the grooming mmo, though, and it looked like that drama may have been on-going for years and that some people siding with the groomer because they were really good at the video game has kept up that stance for literally years. The kind of absurdly stupid mini-communities that survives squirreled away in gaming guilds and w/e on this website blows my mind.
