Just wanted to remark that the character that got whipped/flayed naked for literally no reason other than trying to leave the Byn? The one that Delarak and I reported. That character was 16 year old Mei. One night, out of no where, Desert T's trooper tried to give her booze, tell her it would make her "feel funny" and lay down on his cot. I was incredibly eeked out by this pursuit over some kind of weird rapey deflowering role play out of left field and left the Byn compound immediately.
With Altair, I Way'd his character to ask if Zherixes had left public life. His first response was, "Why do you care unless you're sleeping with him?" Again, more sexual derision insults directed at a female leader. On top of that he constantly posts boomer humor sexist memes in Discord with no moderation. I am told he was even making jokes out of trans suicide.
Meanwhile, the player Hauwke tried to start a trend in Armageddon called #noconsent, in where he wanted consent to longer be needed in Armageddon at all to make it "harsher."
It's also worth noting that aforementioned torture (staff say not torture) scene left me feeling ill and both Hauwke and DesertT were present for that scene. Delerak and I made a complaint, those two tried to push for less consent. Hmm.
These are the kind of players staff are retaining with their current culture and actions. I'm not going to participate in a culture like that. If that's the kind of players and behavior that staff want to foster with their current course of actions they've made their choice. It's almost like creating a rape culture is a thing.
So to stay on topic, no I don't think DesertT should be the one giving input on how to fix sexual harassment, nor do I think some kind of militant structure is the solution and this dude is proof as to why.

It would be less egregious if they didn't outright ban people speaking against it. It's pleasurable PKing people like that but they won't even give us the chance to PK them, they fucking ban us (mostly XX chromosomed peeps). It's like if someone tried to shoot Mad Max: Fury Road but edited out Furiosa and all the women from the film. It wouldn't have a riveting plot, it would literally be... A bunch of bald incel boys bowing down to their leader?
That's actually a good metaphor for where the game is at right now. A bunch of gross dudes in clown makeup 🤡

The other "fun" think about that experience was that my character had a male friend/mate who left at the exact same time (day/week) that received zero repercussions because leaving the Byn is totally a thing. But because harming women is fetishized in certain circles (especially quiet, kind young women) this scene happened for literally no reason at all. Brutalized a sixteen year old girl publicly with a bunch of OOC creeps that don't give a shit about sexism or consent gathered around to play voyeur. Then staff say, nah that's not torture. Being stripped naked and flayed down to half your health publicly is totally not torture. Right.

You are far more tolerant and longanimous than I to have survived this shit so long.

If armageddon 13 is a full adult why are grown men using grooming behavior and lingo 'it'll make you feel funny' with the intent of actually raping characters?
Hmmmmm

Crazy how they still haven't released any sort of statements or changes yet, barring the player moderator thing.
It's like they want the game to die.

Staff collective taking a while to come to consensus and signoff on something ostensibly simple?!

Hey y'all they're still reading the lists they made about how to change the game. They're a bit confused why Hestia included a transphobic rant and Obtutus included PDFs of his Reddit fights with TedCruz, and it's going to take a while to read through it all.
