Given his past history it’s entirely likely. That said, it’s real gross how all these chuds came out of the woodwork to suddenly care about a tiny wormhole corp when there are so many worse and more blatant actors out there. Is botting and RMT bad for the game? Yeah. Is it a very convenient excuse for gross dudes to harass women and queers outside the game? Also yeah.

I find it hilarious that this is just a loving intel bot that everyone is having a meltdown over

I’ve seen countless times where the in game delve imperium intel channel gets spammed relentlessly by someone misconfiguring their bot setup and everyone just laughs.

I remember this too (a couple times). not a harsh word from anyone, not a 'this is unacceptable', not a 'we don't do this here'. tacitly approved by all, and in an org that big you just go with the flow or leave. leadership could've stepped in at any time, it's not like imperium has people who don't enjoy bringing the hammer down. they just hate paperwork, and also, losing botted taxes I guess. wonder if there's a spreadsheet in the back somewhere that calculates the expected loss of income from a hard anti-botting stance (and actually enforcing it)

This is some fun misdirection and whataboutism.

I guess Elusif did nothing wrong because someone did something else once. I’m convinced. Free Elusif.

A lot of people bought in to the lie that bad people had changed, including me, and it wasn’t until I started going to in person meetups that the truth came out. For someone whose EVE experience is purely in game based it can be very hard to determine truth from propaganda. A lot gets lost when only communicating through text and voice.

I don’t blame myself for playing eve and you shouldn’t either. I started during a really hard time in my life and the people I met while playing it helped me launch my career and gave me a social outlet when I didn’t have any. It let me meet some cool people that I still talk to. But I think it’s also okay to accept that just because you had some good times with a group of people doesn’t mean that you’re a bad or malicious person for moving on when they continue to hurt you and others. People grow and change and so do their needs, and coming to a place in your life where you need to be respected and treated well more than you need to be included in a group should be celebrated.
