ngl, I'm amazed that the dictatorate hasn't tried to handwave this away as an insidious plot, funded by our space enemies, to discredit true gooniness and destabilize the space empire or whatever.

Our teeming masses of institutionalized pubbies would eat that up and the troubles would be over in a flash.

edit: so is this tactical or strategic misogyny? I can't tell

I’m not shocked at all. Karmafleet dudes lap up the whole “Dear Leader” bullshit harder than anyone else and always have. Goons trend towards more jaded.

I saw that post about the Facebook thread and I’m inclined to wait and see what gets said about that. Brisc said in a Reddit comment that it was explained to him in an acceptable way so there must be a defense and we will probably hear it. I don’t like this internet mob “justice” approach to serious accusations of assault in real life.

ignoring it over the years would be strategic, presumably in a bid to maintain unit cohesion

making motions to address it in the past handful of days would be tactical, presumably to stop a cascade failure

yeah it was definitely an historic artifact but hey it’s got legs in 2022 so let that stir the pot I guess

mittens own loving words pretty much sew up that his apology is bullshit and uh… well a bunch of other poo poo.

but don’t worry illum is definitely a united front and none of them are disgusted by their space boss or anything

I don't know the exact situation, but it is important that people know that a common factor in every single domestic abuse case, and it's that the abusers friends "can't believe it!" because "they have always seemed like such a nice person!" Abusers are very very good at having a public face and a private face and all this "innocent until proven guilty" is always going to go against the victim, which is why the court of public opinion never works.

Of course not. The cultural revolution enforced some naughty word ban lists but the core of the alliance is still generically lovely internet dudes.

A friend invited me to FFXIV goons years back and I told him I had no desire to game with goons. It wasn't until he informed me that the very first paragraph in the FF rules explicitly stated "this is not goonswarm" that I joined.

Mostly good chaps, the FF goons.
