Ehhhhh... I know I already tossed in my two cents on this app, but the continued biased responses in your favor and the way some of you are villainizing anyone who disagrees with what was done is irritating. I'll open my big mouth even more since the people you harassed are unable to do so without getting dogpiled on for being "unprofessional" or for trying to defend any aspect of what happened from their POV. I'm not going to go any deeper into this situation after this post. I just want to prevent this from being another circlejerk post.
I would also like to add that it's gross, the way some of you are using what happened to Quantum to provide entertainment to yourselves and make yourselves look and feel like online vigilantes. Seeing a kid praise and thank a bunch of grown men for using an extremely upsetting situation like this for their own gain just makes me feel icky. This wasn't a heroic act. This was yet another chance to attack people you don't like and to get rid of the person ruining your playtime. I'm sure this situation will be mentioned in your next callout post.
I see what I mentioned in my first post under Russ's thread happening on this thread as well. I can see people who supported your drama* post now supporting your staff application. This is creating an inorganic weight tipping the scales of this app in your favor. I also see examples of another thing I mentioned, where people are looking at this situation from the outside, seeing your friends' posts, and assuming you were in the right. For example...
Trying to make .ceebeast look like he's misrepresenting the situation by referring to some troll calling a minor staff member "daddy" and "jailbait" as pedophilia is blatant manipulation. That is not a pedophile. That is a troll. Using creepy language to offend and upset a teenager does not make someone a pedophile. Is it creepy and an overstep of dozens of boundaries? Absolutely. Does it warrant being called a pedophile? No. By that logic, most of the people defending Rand's actions are racists and/or homophobes. You are exaggerating one aspect of this situation in order to make it appear as though Rand and those supporting him were doing the right thing and they were just pleading with pedophile apologist staff members to protect the children of the community.
The way that you are focusing on one word to prove your point, "pedophile," shows just how disingenuous your actions are. You are using the most shocking word you can in order to strengthen your point and defend your actions. What happened to Quantum was fucking disgusting. What happened to Shaye was also fucking disgusting, though. That was blatant bigotry, hatefulness, and malice. There was a very clear intent to hurt her with those words. Phoenix even showed his true colors by using her lashing out due to his antagonization as an excuse for his actions. There isn't enough shock factor when referring to that situation for it to be used to villainize anyone who isn't supporting you guys, though, so it has been erased from the conversation.
You are using very deliberate and calculated language to make anyone who disagrees with you look and feel like they are defending a monster. That needs to stop. The ban was made permanent. The purpose you claim to have for making that post was accomplished. Now, you're beating a dead horse for validation.
Just stop.
*The topic, obviously, was not drama. Your actions were intended to cause drama. Quantum being harassed is a very upsetting situation that was mishandled by both staff and most of those who claimed to be supporting him alike. What Phoenix did to Shaye and Quantum definitely should have resulted in a community ban.
