The thing is, the f-list argument was used as ammo and no one seemed to care. Every started picking on the same person for doing something OUT of the game, because she had some fetish on her list that apparently wasn’t accepted. So by the looks of it, if you have something on your f-list, that means you are 100% into that thing and would do it in and out of game. Or so you would think, by the way those people spoke to the victim.
And it clearly worked very well to just post their f-list and use it as ammo, since everyone joined the train.
Well, maybe the general populace realizes that paedophilia is a tad strange.
(i.e, that oh so cutesy ‘ageplay’ tag, y’know, to make it sound like it ain’t real damn weird.)
I’m aware, and that’s partly what I’m referring to when criticising the practice of it. I don’t really care what someone’s particular flavour of ERP is (within reason), only that they keep it off the game - and there’s no evidence to show they do/did anything else (as far as I’m aware, I may be wrong). There was perfectly legitimate grounds to criticise them, but the F-List part was just an excuse to drive them into the ground. The forums likes to claim its scalps.
Edit: Granted, I only briefly looked at the profile in question.
It had nothing to do with paedophilia. Ageplay was never in the question. I think it was rape or something. But clearly it was meant as a fetish, to roleplay such things rather than actually supporting rape, which alot of people didn’t seem to get. But I guess that is just AD forums.
That being said, it’s pretty daft to attach your in-game character’s name/etc to your ERP website’s profile (or in other cases, to your 18+ artwork), because someone WILL end up finding it at some point, and it will get spread. At this point, that’s just common sense.

Well, that is true. But if you never link to such things ingame, I don’t see a problem. Alot of people get art drawn of their characters, either NSFW or SFW
I don’t see the problem either, but others will and it’ll be put straight onto the trebuchet as ammunition (no catapult dweebs allowed).
But that is just the AD community (alteast on the forums) in a nutshell, dissapointing really.
It is worse than a tad strange.
Some serious alarm bells should be going off if said person finds it to be a fetish.
This server has baffled me.
With what has occurred over the past week, it isn’t a wonder that ‘nonces’ can simply disappear and re-appear with new names and personas with some of the strange inhabitants of the server.
But to simply give up and let them harass individuals that are exposed and vulnerable because Activision-Blizzard do not deal with said problems is disgusting.

I’m not really invested in debating the morality of certain fetishes, but ‘consenting non-consent’ is apparently more common than would be expected. As long as the consenting part is involved, what two people do in the privacy of their own home (or, uh, chat room) is for them alone.

But as it was also stated, it is a fairly regular fetish among many women. And if two consenting adults want to do such things in a roleplay scenario (preferably IRL rather than in a game) they should be allowed to do so. You couldn’t care less what people enjoy aslong as it is two consenting adults.

Please don’t copy me Zhongdae or I will be speaking to the appropriate legal authorities.
Plz don’t mister. I can’t loose my Alliance visitation papers, or else I will be deported back to the giant turtle.
Was it a bad thing to drive the said person into the ground, though? Falling into a complete backpeddling denial, bypassing all “legitimate grounds”, as you said, said persona just continued to act as if nothing happened.
Was the f-list irrelevant? Sure it wasn’t. Was it needed? Not really. But since a person, after months and months (or even years?), continues to steal other’s credit and act stupid - then I personally don’t see an issue to use that said f-list as an ammo to discredit them even more.
It’s like (inb4 rough example) saying people, who steal valour from war veterans, should be solely judged by that, and not some other creepy fact, like succumbing into some occult religion following.

But she clearly appologized and told that she had payed for ALL art she had ever got drawn, and the fact that you and the rest of the people just ignored that and continued your call-outs, proves to how immature and toxic the forum community is.
The f-list was 100% unneeded and should have never been accompanied with the discussion. She also told you to come to her if you had a problem to her instead of ranting about it on the forums.
Yes it was a bad thing and no that isn’t a comparable example.
“You did x bad thing which I can legitimately criticise you for, but you’ve also done y innocuous but socially stigmatised thing, so I’m going to beat you with both purely to attack you.”
They don’t need to accept it what they’ve done is wrong when everyone else does anyway.
I clearly missed that fact, because of all things for what she apologised, was the guild’s information, and not the art and/or other 6 (or 7?) character concepts she had stolen before, which, again, just shows how ineffective that confrontation was.
Do they?
She didn’t apologize for the art, because she clearly had nothing to apologize about. The one thing that was most clear she maybe should apologize about was the thing with the art she had painted on herself, and used as a “untill I get later” mark or whatever it was.
But people accused her of several things she had not done.
At first, she said that she paid for it, then she said that her father paid for it all, and then she said she put all art from internet “for safekeeping”, without crediting it.
Call me paranoid, but that doesn’t sound like a proof.
