Copied from my toyhouse bulletin Dude I am genuinely mad at everyone except the grace devs that got doxxed for no reason. For the community: I understand pulling your cbcs from Grace but when you still have “#silly forsaken ocs!!!!” it’s a bit hypocritical no? You interact with a predator because they have a slightly bigger game and I’m SORRY if I’m offending!!!!!! anyone here but I think THOSE acts with kids and defending those acts are many times more extreme than defending or being bigoted. We should NOT pretend all drama is equal and maybe be a bit more introspective on what we are actually dissociating from? (Don't put words in my mouth, either. I do not condone being bigoted nor being a predator.) ESPECIALLY when bad people are being exposed left and right nowadays. This also goes for those pulling their collabs, swinging their arms and skipping merrily along, not protesting about the disgusting situation on the front page with them. (Also, despite what you insist, people will always affiliate your cbcs with Grace. Same with any other media. The “is that __ from forsaken?” meme stems from that. It’s frustrating, but it’s true.) As for Simon and his gf, boy oh boy my rage is unreal. This will sound cheesy, but Grace has SERIOUSLY influenced how I reflect on my actions and learn from them, even though I am agnostic. The fact you made one of the most accurate and loving interpretations of the Bible only to turn around and spread hate instead of LOVE is the most laughable thing I have ever seen. For the doxxers, I really have nothing specific to say. Why do you have access to tools only governments should have? Why can people on the internet in general find out where someone lives with the press of a button? (edit after recent information: simon has now said horrible things himself about his OWN PLAYERBASE. fumbled any redemption for no reason) The whole thing was also blown EXTREMELY out of proportion. Despite the fact that defending bigotry goes against LOVE, it would make sense (given the message of the game) that people deserve second chances. The whole gameplay is the sinner avoiding and falling into sin, but God still loves them no matter what. However, it is clear from the doc (not linking) Simon’s GF never changed and has been like this for a long time. Simon never actively stated that he supported these actions, but a lot of things can be revealed in the subtext. I don’t feel bad for liking Grace. I shouldn’t feel bad about the game for what one person (two people, but his gf isn’t in the team despite getting leaks) did. Those who say you can’t separate the art from the artist are wrong unless the media itself is inherently problematic. Lots of people poured their love and passion into this game and to spread a loving message. If it is tainted by the actions of one person, so what? The others are still good people and should NOT be harmed by this (and yet they will, because the rage itself can’t get to Simon). TLDR: It is sickening that Forsaken, a more severe situation, has still not had the majority of its reputation or playerbase diminished, while Grace was drawn and quartered in about two days. Dissociation is avoiding critical thinking. It’s ironic how Grace tells us to spread LOVE, and yet Simon and his GF did exactly the opposite. Doxxing and harassment are general problems of security, and apparently the result of all mild internet drama. The situation was exaggerated, but Fynnee (and Simon, after recent statements) still do not deserve to be forgiven. I don’t feel bad for liking Grace; I can separate the art from the artist. The other developers are still good people and should not have been harmed by the actions of the few.
