A pillar of the community, yeah right. That pillar was gone and crumbled and glued back together earlier this month. We were fine without him and we don't need him. Do some reading, seriously | ||

This should be posted somewhere easily seen on the website but I needed to search and give myself the refresher. | ||

The world is a lot larger than Russia and Poland And it doesn't change the fact that if your shilling for money to pay for your tournament you should probably try to not upset a portion of your player base even if it's only 20% but I would wager the number is much higher. I'm honestly baffled by the number of Polish people coming in support of Rapid. I'm guessing most of them might be brigading from NetWars. I hope this is more representative of their community, which judging from the thread on this topic (https://netwars.pl/temat/181816) is an incel cesspit, than our society at large. Also funny how WolFix considers sending dick pics to minors normal. | ||

Also some insane lines like "I personally don't give two fucks if someone killed another person as long as that person will not hurt me." The fuck are the standards over there? | ||

It's what 25 years of being a toxic echo chamber gets you. It was rather toxic when I first got into BW some 15 years ago. Seems like it's been sliding downward the whole time. It's not just misogynists, the forum is full of far-right supporters, anti-vaxxers, people supporting Russia, etc. Honestly, it's surprising that there are some decent people left there, lol. | ||

He’s not even a bad member of the community, he’s not a member of the community at all. He went radio silent and ghosted the community for 3 years. | ||

We are asking a simple explanation on why it's ok to allow someone without integrity to be apart of our scene. We don't want the mental gymnastics of justifying why this behavior is ok because it wasn't proven. A simple "no I didn't send my dick pictures to women", or "yes I did, and I see that it is the wrong thing to do and I'll try to do better." What we didn't want was a person who didn't say anything and hoped we would forget the whole situation and just forgive him. He hurt BSL, he hurt ZZZero, and he hurt women. He didn't physically touch them but he did make them fear for their saftey. | ||

He went radio silent and ghosted the community for 3 years. And that’s because many reputable known community members called out his sexual harassment. Just because those who brought a spotlight to this behavior aren’t known here, doesn’t mean they’re not reputable. I think over 10+ women came out about Reid with 0 reason to lie or make this up. He’s not a huge community figure, (men always think women are trying to tear down [which is also generally a bulls**t response].).He’s a part time brood war commentator with 0 prospects. There was nothing to gain bringing this up. Reid is a bad person. He should not be in the scene. And hearing so much defense reminds me why I also left the scene. | ||

I'm afraid maybenexttime is not accurate in his statements. Most of that thread is just commenting on results, rest is discussing this topic but I don't see any incel like comments. Yes there's some local trolling folklore in netwars community, but if you stay away from football thread and few others it's filled with adults with families, passionate about gaming. I don't want to continue off topic here but I'll respond to DMs if needed. | ||

And FlaShFTW can easily translate the comments in Polish to get the general sentiment. So how exactly am I inaccurate? | ||

Even if google translate isnt the most accurate, even if the comments taken as a whole are representative of the views of NW, it speaks volumes for how that forum chooses to conduct itself. The fact that they also are practically brigading into the two Rapid-related threads to defend him so vigorously is also another testament to what goes on in that forum. I don't see any Teamliquid members going there to argue. | ||

Certainly not been my experience of Poles over here, or many TL regulars from there who post more thoughtfully in a second tongue than I do in my own. Methinks it’s something of a jumping on anything that resembles ‘cancel culture’ and the kind of adjacency to that, more than anything representative. And people are always more energised if they have an axe to grind, I mean are people as liable to bother registering for a forum just to go ‘hey I broadly agree’? Hey as my post count indicates, I practically live here. That there’s such a disconnect in opinion between regulars whose names I instantly recognise, sometimes just reading a post without even checking the nick, and low post number lurkers/new accs kinda indicates some redirection from elsewhere specifically to argue on this topic. Of course there are cultural differences on these kind of topics. For those familiar with football (soccer *shudders*) there was a pretty clear divide between British/European fans, and those from further afield on whether Manchester United should keep or sack Mason Grewnwood. But I don’t really think there’s some massive disconnect between where I am and Poland on the topic more broadly, and there’s plenty of the same victim blaming and ‘skepticism’ from Brits and Irish too. So being pious about the moral superiority of one’s nation is daft to begin with. | ||

What they're posting here is rather mild compared to what they post there. | ||
