Current Events > Real talk, let's stop with the clan drama BS.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone comes out with a hot scoop against their former discord server or external meetings with other CE users. They talk shit about how unhinged all the users are and how mistreated they were, and attempts at disputing those are spun off into more drama. Words are twisted against each other to perpetuate a stupid, actively malicious and intentionally hurtful atmosphere - it's happening all the fucking time now. Can we leave the discord shit in discord, and not drag it out into these user holy wars? I get that people can be snakes when it comes to this sort of drama, but we've just seen one of the most pathetic meltdowns in CE history that people wouldn't refuse to feed.

Like if you've gotta vent about some petty shit, vent. But don't tag 5 of the people you're venting about. PM them, or hit them up on discord, or whatever - if they don't respond, let it die.

And if you're baited by some delusional asshole with a sticking point, offer a rebuttal or two and then peace out. You're never gonna get them to stop slagging you off if you can't get a sincere answer out of them with a genuine call for context and resolution. Try for a while, but recognise a lost cause for what it is when it becomes too clear to ignore.

At this point, it would be really nice to see this shitty brand of drama fizzle out, and to let each discord deal with their own shit internally or over GameFAQs PM instead of someone dragging it out into a loud and messy battle in public. If someone has engaged in a particularly heinous way, like some real creep shit or doxxing or whatever - cool, blast it out with all the proof you've got. This isn't a call to ignore severe wrongdoing or to stay quiet in the face of serious misconduct. But if the drama is basic mudslinging, he-said-she-said bullshit that's perpetually pedalled by some petty, passive-aggressive little snot who's in it for the drama and nothing else - who ends up clearly being in the wrong - have the sense to starve them of the petty attention that they're desperately trying to milk. CE drama is bad enough, splinter group drama spilling into mainstream CE drama turns my fucking stomach. It would be fantastic if we could agree as a community to let this shit die, leave discord drama at the door and resume the regular CE witch hunts, where people who visit the board have a chance to witness all the context -on the board- and not actively rely on a faulty game of Telephone and a bunch of biased lies to take sides.

TL;DR report heinous shit of course, sexual misconduct and actively malicious actions from CE users that happen off-site should be brought to light and those users should be shamed - but let's stop feeding Discord server drama when it becomes clear that the person driving the drama is a raging lunatic who's never going to stop talking shit.
