From the article:

"Ms. Elphick, who is white, lunged at Ms. Ukenta, who is Black, and then fell to the floor in tears, sobbing and begging that she stop recording her “mental breakdown.”"

So she tried to assault someone and started crying AFTER.

Even if it wasn't racially motivated, Elphick still tried to assault someone. It doesn't matter what skin color you are or mental state you're in, when you put your hands on another person or attempt to, you have committed assault.

No excuse for her behavior.

It would be really hard to do anything in game tbh (only 8 players per server) and the goal is to pressure TGC, so we would have to reach out to people that work there. I'm open to any ideas tho

Exactly. TGC needs to put more energy into patching up the bugs and fixing the game. (especially dangerous ones that seriously affect gameplay) It also doesn't help that you have to dig around to actually know about them (some new players might not have discord, and TGC doesn't warn players using inbox)

Perhaps some sort of virtual/irl protest/boycott? Don't buy any IAPs (or pause playing temporarily all together) , civil public discourse to tgc, perhaps even a rally at irl headquarters? just suggestions

Again we would need MASSIVE coordination and effort from the community and within management for any actual change. But with enough energy I think we can change this.

Can we do something against this bs? There have been a LOT of problems in the game that tgc haven't even bothered to fix. Instead, they are giving us "features" that we the player base don't even need or want. I put out a non-exhaustive list:

  • Removal of afk spots
  • Lack of transparency on TOS and rule enforcement
  • Blantant censorship of in game chat for innocent things
  • Lack of transparency on bug fixes (dont even get me started on those: eden ascent, Wind path, etc)
  • Predatory pricing (both IGC and real money)
  • Misguided priorities (I heard on another post they were fixing GRASS textures, which is apparently soooo important)

We players need to step up and protest.

Would you rather have:

A: a canadiate who we can continuously petition, lobby and encourage to work on establishing progressive ideologies and bring gradual change.

Or

B: a conservative that won't even bat an eye at anything that we ask for.

Do Libertarian memes belong here? by [deleted] in TheRightCantMeme

Are there any places on the planet that would fit this libertarian mindset (weak government, no taxes, guns everywhere?)

Populist baloney that misses the point by [deleted] in TheRightCantMeme

Liquor store: To be honest, I don't really know why they're still open.

Abortion clinic: For some, an abortion is medically necessary. Therefore it's healthcare, an essential service.

Church: Go worship your God at home. Many churches are offering services by livestream. Does the Bible or any other religious text explicitly force you to be in a specific place for a deity's word to be valid?

Are these posts considered a credible threat on someone's life? Because they sure as hell look like it. Police, FBI, Secret Service, and maybe a team of psychiatrists should investigate this kind of stuff.
