Harassment, Hate, and Predators

The amount of harassment, and predatory behavior on LOTC is insane. The amount of people who dabble in such things is such a sadly high number, it plagues a communuity such as this and makes people want to leave. Inaction only serves to cause the crumbling city to fall faster.

It is incredibly important to start this conversation. We need to understand the faults of our follow and how to properly correct it.

 

What we need to do, in my opinion is how cases like these are taken care of. He was a pedophile, everyone actively knew he was a pedophile, there was evidence of such, and yet it was not enough. It was not enough because of arbitrary rules that actively go against our community and standard morals .

 

It's like letting someone assault you until your cold dead body is proof. This needs to change, and it needs to happen now, or some poor 14 year old is going to get groomed again, cry out for help, and nothing is going to be done. 

 

Oftentimes, children and younger teens don't understand that they are being groomed. Why, as staff members and as a community, are we not advocating for them? for ourselves? God help us.

Thank you.

 

There's this joke that no woman on lotc hasn't been groomed. Think about that.

This right here.

Admins have needed to be changed for a long time now, hopefully this is a wakeup call to tythus to make that change.

Romance-Rp in general is just a terrible decision to participate in, at all.  I've always advocated against it, it does nothing but cause problems over and over.  And anybody who's actively done it for some time will more than likely corroborate what I'm saying.  It's impossible to do romance-RP without an OOC connection forming, some sort of emotional tie to form.  And truly emotional ties of a romantic sort are the source of so much evil in this community. 

From one end of the spectrum you got the jilted lovers causing issues in discord, which I'm sure everybody has seen.  To the other end of the spectrum, with active pedophiles, sex pests, so forth.  Don't do romance RP ppl, no matter how much you want to, it truly is not a good choice.

 

While I admit I think romance rp is cringey, I do think it matters more on who you're doing it with. If you're 25 and doing it with like a 20 year old, eh, okay, whatever. But If you're 25 and you're doing it with a 16 yr old, that's ******* weird and needs to be addressed.

Do you think it's possible to do romance-rp with an individual over an extended period of time, let's just say... longer than a month, and not form an emotional attachment OOCly?  I postulate that these romantic emotional attachments over the internet in general are poisonous overall to the culture of the server, and ultimately create more negativity and harm, than they can ever form in posivity and good.  I don't advocate banning romance-rp, but I do advocate stigmatizing it culturally.

It is obvious, after how many of these we've gone through, that admins will not truly act. 

 

Instead, you, the playerbase must act. Admins may have never banned KP, but they also weren't the ones who elevated him to the position of leader of the largest playerbase in this game. Don't RP with the groomers, the pedophiles. Don't give them a place here. Make them the most unwelcome you can. And do the same to those that defend them.

I think its ridiculous to lay the blame for LOTC's culture of degeneracy at the feet of Dingo and Dingo alone. This is something that far precedes Dingo's tenure as bigman in red. Many administrators have caught sex pest bans and a countless number of freaks have been involved in the various echelons in staff. I'm sure people still remember the antics of Flambo or Punisher. 

 

I'd like to see some mass purges of freaks from the server. If I recall correctly people like Leowarrior are still allowed to log on for some reason. But realistically we might get a few symbolic scapegoats and go back to normal. With the various creepy ERP communities going unpunished and uninvestigated. 

 

Its also interesting how you dropped a few hints about 'hate' and doing things 'because its medieval rp' and tried to conflate rp actions with IRL beliefs and behaviors. Its a sneaky direction you're taking here to conflict behaviour you don't like with reprehensible illegal sex pestery. 

 

Regardless I hope to see meaningful action taken but remain skeptical.
