I wasn't going to reply, since one, this is really none of my damn business, and two, I wasn't really present for the whole fiasco that happened on Discord. But here's my two cents on the whole issue.
1.) This was dumb, and didn't need to happen. OK scratch that, it did need to happen. We need to be a more welcoming environment for people of all walks of life. And a closed mind is a terrible thing to have.
2.) You have to remember, you can more easily get a man to change his underwear than his mind.
3. ) IC attacks on a character are going to happen, depending on if the character is heel of face. However IC attacks that later go into full on attacks of the handler are out of line, and have no place in this hobby. I may hate Greg Adkins the character, but I don't take those frustration out on Vastrix the handler of Greg Adkins
And Finally.
4.) While Empathy is definitely needed in a time like this. Apathy is needed as well. You all are like a family to me, We may not always agree. We are extremely dysfunctional, and we bicker like siblings at Thanksgiving. But, in the end we know that we all have someone here we can count on to talk to when things aren't going so well for us.
I will have no claim to understanding what people like Reck, Ryan, Fox, or any other LGBT+ member of our group goes through on a daily basis. Lord knows I have my own issues being an Asian-American in our current Covid-Climate. But here's the truth. While everyone's minds and thought are different. inside every man, woman and child beat a heart, and the blood the bleed is the same crimson color as my own.
Do you people in the first Pokémon Movie were Meowth is fighting his clone, and an existential crisis, and says: "We do have a lot in common. The same earth, the same air, the same sky. Maybe if we started looking at what’s the same, instead of looking at what’s different, well, who knows?"
That's a quote that do this day, I try my best to live by. Do I make mistakes, yes. Do I say and do things out or anger? Definitely. But I'm human, and I have flaws, I don't claim to be perfect, nor do I want to be.
Look I'm going to sit and beg for people to stay, what you want to do, is really none of my business. I'm not a hateful person. I always say I don't a person because of who they are, but of what they are. I don't care about the color of your skin, religious affiliation, Gender identity or who you hug passionately at night. Those are things beyond your control, and as long as what you are doing make you happy, then I have no say in the matter.
However, I can hate you if you are a Grade A Asshole.
