SolarFlare, The Stupid

when in the nether do as piglins do (and wear gold)

when in the end do as the endermen do (and avoid eye contact)

all roads lead to spawn / all roads lead to the nether / all eyes lead to the end

emerald for your thoughts

speak of the warden and he shall appear

a different cauldron of fish

away with the allays

it was all galactic to me

it'll be a cold day in the nether when _ / when the nether freezes over

void/jean/simmons as a replacement for god/jesus christ

"void below" for overworlders / "void above" for nether inhabitants / "abyss all over" for enderians?

that was a real bat next to a sculk shrieker

The screenshots that got Pansear banned from servers and drove them to delete all their social media have been revealed to be fake, but the damage has been done. When it was posted, people accepted it without question. They spread it and the idea that this person was a threat who deserved everything that happened to them. Pansear deleting their socials was taken as an admission of guilt, and people who've questioned the whole thing have been harrassed. Even now, instead of reflecting on what a mess this whole thing was, I'm seeing people retroactively justify why it was actually okay that someone was harrassed out of this space.

This whole thing should terrify you, that someone was not only willing, but successfully able to fabricate and utilize this kind of evidence to hurt someone. More than that, people both accepted it and enforced it. Even now, in one of my servers, we're having issues with someone who's going around impersonating people they're mad at to falsify screenshots and get them banned, a lot of damage would have been done if people didn't start asking questions.

Pansear was essentially harrassed out of the fandom, and it was ongoing long before the screenshots circulated. It's been revealed that the incriminating screenshots were faked. The fact that so many people are willing to wave it off and accept it, or worse find reasons why it's fine that it happened anyway; that's terrible. There's lot to be said about punitive justice, how unhelpful and damaging it actually is but those are conversations for another time. The point is, it's disproportionately damaging to the people affected, doesn't actually give meaningful reparations to people harmed, and this whole thing that happened sets an awful precedent for how the Rain World community at large is going to handle similar incidents going forward.

-either it habsburgs itself into oblivion and that's the end of it

-they'll have to be way more careful with input which will drastically reduce the things they can do and also make it easier to check what exactly is going in (basically crippling the thing)

-they'd have to find built-in methods to make the generated images distinguishable from the original ones to avoid inbreeding, but this would of course mean *anyone* would be able to use these methods and therefore generated images would become much easier to spot
