hey, as you might have been informed about all ready, something happened with the link player. there was, in MY opinion, a little bit of rule breaking with the second rule, IC does not equal OOC. before i go into this, i assure you that i'm not trying to rule over what happened here and declare they broke a rule and you should ban / warn them, and i'm just giving my side of the story, with details in case the plurk becomes locked. you handle this however you please!

to describe what happened, link-mun made a plurk that was basically 'I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THE NETWORK POST IS BOTHERING ME'. then, link-mun decided to state that the arguments the characters were providing were similar to arguments racist people use in issues such as 'all lives matter'.

now, it kinda blew up. people who weren't added on their friends list got involved, and this is solely my fault. i was trying to check on the plurk as it updated, but instead replurked it. i panicked for about a second and unreplurked it, but after a couple of refreshes on my timeline, it keeps going from being replurked to... not. explaining why some people see it and others aren't. this was how natasha-mun got involved, as they weren't on their friends' list, and they didn't check their timeline before this happened.

the deal with natasha is that link-mun openly crit her behavior in the network post, instead of (what i'm assuming, and nobody has corrected me on this yet) bringing it to her first. i let this slide, deciding i would instead bring it up to her privately and not openly criticizing link-mun's behavior.

instead, natasha-mun suddenly appeared in the plurk, surprising me. i let this slide and let them deal with it, and natasha-mun offered to drop the thread, as i continued discussing what might happen with leo and link. then, kimbely-mun showed up, and like natasha-mun, stated their feelings did not match the character's and they didn't mean to offend link-mun.

after that came weiss-mun, who apologized in case they bleed over IC/OOC. i still hadn't yet realized my replurk is what caused these people to see the plurk in the first place. then there was kain-mun, and finally people began to address the problem when sora-mun asked if the player was angry over IC behavior due to OOC problems.

rin-mun then said they were not going to get involved and deleted their comment in the network thread. after both kain-mun and kimbley-mun stated they'd rather not thread with them again if it was that big of a problem, i stepped up and told link-mun it's not all right to crit natasha-mun on their character before bringing it to them first and to accuse those who used the argument as racist.

i think, do not quote me on this, was when i realized my replurk is what brought most of those players there. i certainly realized it when sora-mun said they only saw this due to my replurk, which was a short while after i clarified that link-mun didn't outright state anyone as racist, but implied it.

i suggested they try to clear the line between OOC and IC a bit more, and think a bit more before they speak when addressing RL issues such as racism. before this, i did apologize for replurking it and bringing so much attention to it. we went back and forth for awhile, with me mostly saying that IC doesn't equal OOC, until i finally got tired enough to drop it and hand this issue over to you, the mods, or anyone who got offended.

i did not reply again after this, unedited, comment: 'i really hope i'm not coming off as an asshole or trying to take the place as PUNISHER or whatever, but again: i'm stopping here, and i hope everything works out in the end.'

now i bring this to you to say sorry for how much attention i brought to this. i understand any and all punishments you give me, and if you do not believe me on this being an accident after the reserves issue previously. and whatever you do with link-mun is not my business, and i support whatever you decision may be.

thank you for reading this comment, though! and if you need any more sources or clear responses, let me know, as i still have the plurk open just in case.

Please be more careful from now on. And if there are issues with players, contact us instead of trying to take on the issue next time. We are here for situations like this.

I will try to be more careful with what I click, yes. Again, I apologize for how I caused for so many people to notice this, and I will keep your suggestion in mind in case there's another OOC problem. (Not to say I wasn't going to bring it to you guys anyway!)

Also, I don't mind if you unscreen this, unless you'd rather keep what happened under wraps or something. Thank you for the fast response and the PSA earlier!
