I genuinely appreciate the answer and the trouble you went to to gather up that info. It's interesting to fill in the gaps.
Is that all it is though? A group of people in a discord group, some of whom were a bit naughty on Era? It's hardly al-qaeda is it? I mean, that kind of group reporting can happen, and probably has happened, here.
I've seen the DF guy getting hounded for being part of that discord, even though none of his responses, at least those that I've read, seem overly problematic to me.
He's laughed at some of the more extreme fans, sure, I imagine that he's had to put up with a lot though, much of it coming from a particular group of 'you know who' fans, it's probably good for his soul to let off a little steam from time to time.
There seems to be some 'guilt by association' involved.
I use this place alongside a lot of other people. Some of those people post nonsense and are utterly fact-resistant. I'm sure you've had to deal with it to.
The thing is, people from outside this forum probably lump
us all together in the exact same way that Sony fans have decided that anyone in that discord group is part of some sweeping conspiracy.
It seems to me, if your examples are typical, that a small number of people have overreacted to the discord group and then made loud and confident assertions that evil was afoot. It seems those assertions have been taken at face value by nearly everyone else (me included).
There really doesn't seem to be a lot to it though, just more fanboy turfwars.
Again, thanks for the info, it's been really helpful.
