the history of who this player was really doesn't justify the mods accusing her of making her character ICly unpalatable by their standards because maybe she's more sensitive OOCly at the time due to the anniversary of a death of a loved one....

there's no excuse in any world for bringing in the death of someone's loved one into an rp related problem. that's so fucked up.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

did you actually read the screencaps anon? all they said about it was that they were aware that she was going through a hard time, jade is the one who is saying that they made it about the death when the pm reads to me like they were handling the issue and then separately acknowledged at the end that she might not be in a good place

the mods may have problems but to be honest most of the pms she seems to be angry about don't seem that bad to me?

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

My guess is that you're responding to Jade right now lol.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

i did, did you?

"we understand this is a rough period for you, and that may have contributed in various ways"

1. again, they are rp mods. hers, or anyone's, RL problems are not their fucking concern in any capacity unless they need an emergency hiatus.
2. they absolutely said that maybe her anniversary of a loved one - her own mother - may be a contributing factor. so yes, they are saying maybe her OOC RL struggles are making were adding to her bad rp feels. also, they were on her plurk and she said she talked about this on plurk. they weren't unaware of what the rl struggle was. they knew. and they brought it up anyway.

you can fuck right off with defending mods bring up the death of someone's mother in relation to rp in any way, shape, or form. especially when they initiated this conversation. not her.

inb4 someone points out my typo. changed sentence idea and didn't delete back enough, my bad.

also see you up there. no i'm not jade. i just find the behavior atrocious.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

she never mentions that it's her mother anywhere just says that it was a death in her family, so you are clearly one of jade's friends invested in defending her

but sure go off jan we all believe you are totally impartial

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

still really gross of the mods though

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

the hoops you'll go through to defend bringing up someone's departed mother is hilarious.

no i'm not a friend. i just know someone who knows her and jade has previously mentioned this tragedy that happened in her life.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

so you know her but you're not friends with her?

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

reading comprehension failing you today anon? i said know someone who knows her. the person i know isn't a friend of hers, either, but again i was told this wasn't some huge secret from her plurk list.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

crazy how this person doesn't seem to have any friends

lmao sure, we believe that

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

finally run out of arguments to defend bringing up the death of loved ones in rp or you want to keep moving that goal post some more?

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

Real question are you a spiteknight? Are you actually trying to shit on jade to make the mods look better?

Because that would be some 4d chess shit but I cannot imagine how you think you're actually helping Jade's case in anyway bringing up specific deets of her personal losses for wg to gawk at.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

Ohhhhh. So not only do you not know her but you know a friend of a friend of hers and they're the one who told you all about Jade's family affairs and precisely which one of her loved ones passed away.

Which by the way, is personal information you chose to share with wg, because she didn't bring it up herself in her long ass post.

Good thing you aren't her friend but a friend of a friend, I guess.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

i'll indulge anon. let's say i am a friend.

it's now okay to accuse someone of playing their character poorly because they're dealing with a death anniversary?

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

You know what, no it isn't. I don't agree with your interpretation of that mod response but sure, let's say it's a shit thing to do to refer to a person's personal tragedy/ circumstances when giving them game crit.

But damn dude... you dont have to say anything. It's obvious you're not her friend.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

lmao keep up, this is about you smearing the specific details of her personal tragedy all over wg when no one else here has done so, including the mods.

it was shitty of them to bring it up vaguely and it's double-shitty of you to bring it to wg with no vagueness at all

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

the mods didn't specifically mention jade's mother
jade specifically didn't mention it was her mother
jade also didn't mention it was a family death, just a death anniversary

why are YOU so intent on bringing up who it was that died when jade clearly didn't want details of it mentioned?

mods are shit but what the fuck, anon

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

yeah this is really fucked up

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

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

+0.5

[(Anonymous)]

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.

Re: +0.5

[(Anonymous)]

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.
