gonna post this here, even if nobody reads it
first and foremost, this situation isn't about the game, it's about ren, and how we, as a community, have to support her and make sure that zeal is held accountable.
second, these devs are such fucking nasty hypocrites, covering up literal crimes, not giving a single fuck that there's a rapist and a shit ton of enablers among them. it's the classic saying, if there's 10 people around a table, and a nazi sits among them and nobody leaves, there's 11 nazis - silence is complicity
third, less important, it's sad that such good characters, that people have resonated with and loved so much, were crated by such horrible, despicable and vile people, but that's it. a real person is and will always be more important than a roblox game or fictional characters.
a lot of people here, myself included, liked to interpret sebastian's experimentation as a SA metaphor: the stripping of bodily autonomy, the humilation, the traumatic dehumanization, same thing with painter's forced work and objectfication, being denied his feelings and saying in his situation. ironic, isn't it? they treat these character stories as tragedy, when the main dev did the same, honestly worse, in real life without caring about the real, tangible person of flesh and blood whose life was scarred.
the pressure dev team are the very Urbanshade they criticize.
may they all burn in hell. take care, ren, i hope you're okay, that you have a reliable support network, that you rest and heal, that you continue living and creating your amazing art.
