251: back in my day wank meant something

i read it as the mods saying "we know you're going through a hard time, BUT" and then dumping role playing drama on her anyway, and her saying that despite them bringing it up and using it in a way that felt bad, they did not actually give her grace. seems iffy to me if the mods could have ever given her enough grace to satisfy her, but we'll never know.

to me it looks like there's no winning for either side. mods should not have said that or bothered with these essays sent to her. op should have dropped months ago and not made this post.

that would make sense but the portion i'm referencing was in response to the mods' january PM, not november one which contained the overstep:

In all honesty, it makes me uncomfortable that the mods felt the need to quote me on Zoya. I was high in my feelings and expressing them (again: not the best thing to do!). This was about me, I was being emotional; let's calm down on pretending I'm not a human being.

to be honest anon i'm not going to re-read to help me contextualize.. this post is doing too much. i'll just choose to believe we're both right.

that makes as much sense as any of her logic as far as i can tell

[shakes your hand]

This rage is bizarre bc tbh it seems like the mods are actually trying to express sympathy/understanding

Right? Like, go pick up a fucking skill, Jade. Maybe dedicate some time studying social intelligence.

an anon mentioned prox dramatically quit rubi, was it about this?

eh, i sorta agree and sorta don't.

sure, i think you're right that the mods were probably intending it in a sympathetic way, but otoh it comes across a lot more like dismissiveness of her actual (overblown) issues. there's a middle ground where the mods weren't intentionally being assholes but still landed in asshole territory.

honestly, from everything ive experienced in two decades of journal rp, the occam's razor answer is almost always utterly abysmal social skills.

anon did u not click the pastebin

trying to manage multiple complaints both about and from jade directly resulted in me putting in my "four weeks notice" as a rubi moderator at the start of march.

yeah but just because they dropped mod duties doesn't mean they dropped the game

current player, they dropped both their mod duties and the game at the same time.

I went and looked it over again and I do think the answer is likely poor social skills. didn’t Jade have multiple mods added as friends on her personal account? I cam really easily see the line of logic beginning “oh, it’s going to look really cold if we don’t acknowledge that we as people know this is a time of year associated with bad memories for her” leading to a somewhat tone deaf statement. But I could also easily see anons here savaging the mods for ignoring that Jade might have been going through a hard time. Seems like a lose lose situation.

no they didn't, they stepped down as a mod and then dropped a few months later

whatever, the point is they dropped very soon after stepping down as a mod

modding for the DWRP community usually is

no this sounds more like a hypocritical mihoyo player

no horse in this race but it's not surprising. of course dealing with one problem player would sour the whole game for them

But anon genshin is mihoyo

of all the stuff in here, pointing to the fact that a mod chose "kill" for their character in response to an IC fuck/marry/kill game as evidence of bullying is really wild

The damn meme hasn't even gone up yet. How are people already whining and guilt tripping over being excluded?

how do you end up being excluded from a meme?

By fucking up the meme and taking what should be a cr generating misfiring social media based meme and turning it into a popularity contest of who has pictures of your muse on their phone.

i thought it was going to be about ocs and non-la characters complaining about not having enough art to do the meme but this is much juicier

fm seems a bit less of a containment zone lately. at least two or three people got prebanned from the game just tdming.

the fuck actually happened?
