    doing this to anyone is evil but doing it to someone who spends their free time trying to make your treats more enjoyable is just fucking wild beyond measure

    Unbelievably scummy. As sad as I thought it was, I was understanding of wanting to step back due to increased responsibilities, a common issue for mod projects. But no, some sweaty gamers called fucking ICE on them? And then, moreover, broadcast what the lead dev clearly wanted to remain quiet? What terrible people to put that tip in, unforgivable.

    Joe Biden and democratic majorities left in place all agencies necessary for the Trump administration to be doing stuff like this with 10 days of inauguration.

    I didn’t know what the contexts behind all of this was, but after reading a bit it was all because of a stupid mod.

    Holy fuck, only some sick fuck does this over a stupid videogame.

    But the main lesson here is to never share any personal details to the internet. That’s how they were able to SWAT him. You never know who is trying to fuck with you.

    People are shit.

      I’ve spent a little bit of time today trying to doxx this loser. They had been kicked off the Tamriel Rebuilt discord for being a bigot so now they’re trying to “get revenge”. They’ve also been a menace in the fallout modding scene for years. Literally what they’re originally mad about in this instance is that the mod kept getting put on hold because it “didn’t have clear vision” and that the modder used some assets from other mods, that was enough for them to call in the gestapo.

    Interestingly, a phenomena gaining rapid traction is the cognitive breakdown immigrants are having after realizing the comrades back in their home country are living better than they, who worked so hard in America, are.

    They leave behind friends, extended family, support networks, have to learn a new language, new culture, endure shitty food, endure racism and systemic discrimination, just to work 12 hours a day and spend all their money on rent.

    I think this is a big contributor to their support for Trump and liberalism. To do otherwise is to realize they got conned by the American Scam.

    I foresee violence coming in greater scale, and I am never wrong.

      Is life actually better back home? If that were the case I’d imagine a lot of people would be emigrating from the US, but there’s probably something I don’t understand here.

        It depends, some migrants moved due to economic problems like poverty but not all countries in Latam have gotten better like Haiti so they would be returning to same things

        Others are refugees escaping violence so in some cases (like being hunted by a cartel) returning could be a death sentence

        Its no small thing to build a life and a home and a community. Let alone doing it again. And again.

        I cannot convince my trans friends living in danger to come live with me because they have roots, older fam, various types of kin etc. A life. that they feel they’d be abandoning. They’d rather stay and fight on their feet or at least stubbornly resist until its off to the camps at gunpoint.

        And some of these people are witnessing their friends being rounded up by ICE, had family deported under the first Trump admin etc, they are not completely delusional to the reality that may face them.

        I imagine this is a sentiment adjacent to that felt by many who you’d think might voluntarily emigrate to escape the American nightmare. There’s a lot of romantic notions many peoples heads. Maybe it would feel like a betrayal to leave if your parents or grandparents risked their lives to get you a slice of that American pie.

        The couple of documentaries I’ve seen about Tongan and Samoan deportees working a plot of land in what looks like paradise to me show people who are getting by but treated forever as foreign outsiders, shunned, suspected of being inherently criminal, raised without shared local language and customs etc. Perpetual outsiders.

        Its still fucked even when they find relative prosperity. That’s the impression I get.

    Is this a bit? Is the truth?

    What kind of braindead kills a fanmade project because of the nationality of the creator???

    Even the most nazi SchoolShootingian with a single braincell would at least wait for the project to be completed before reporting.
