we shouldn't let players feel safe and like their behavior is okay when they're insulting people over politics. right now, it seems like people who are doing it genuinely feel like they're in the right when they insult people because they know the admins share the same political standpoints. they're right too.
Something I've noticed is how people who come in our discord with not necessarily conservative opinions, just centered, are violently mistreated and nobody steps up to say anything about this. God forbid they say anything back. It's guaranteed no admin will back them up while everyone's dog piling on them. It's frankly bullshit.
The most bullshit part, of course, is tenured community members who assume they can just say whatever insulting bullshit under the guise that they're in the "right" politically. It's garbage and we (by we, I mean you, the admins) need to do better, as you're all capable of doing. I can only call out so much bullshit myself, but the discord seems borderline inhospitable at times.
I say ban politics because nobody in our community can talk about politics without it spiraling into personal insults, and nobody has the balls to tell them to stop insulting people. We have to make our community inhospitable to people who mount personal thinly veiled attacks every time they can under the guise of them being right.
Doublepost- it's a big fucking hivemind mentality and I think that's why nobody calls out people over insulting others- they don't want to come off as disagreeing. How did we come to this?
