There are accusations of gore and child pornography in Kennel Kickers. Accusations of revenge pornography, blackmail, forcing people to do harmful and humiliating things to themselves. There's well-documented examples of targeted harassment and other criminal activities to address, and from what has been documented and explored here for the last few months, people are inclined to believe you guys are doing very strange things.
You are in a community where these things are taken seriously and should know full-well how guilty it looks to act like an aloof, bored child. It's really simple: Answer the questions.
If I was in your position I would be leaking every private message and doing everything possible to distance myself from these people and these allegations. A majority of your pals have already been phonebooked and it probably won't be long before yours ends up here too. Even if no criminal charges ever come from this, their lives are ruined. Their digital presence is ruined, no hope at rebrands or waiting it out. Not in the lolcow world where people like NateDawG or Leaping Lemur get turned into canned meat.
Risky, I appeal to the one brain cell in your skull and implore you to ask yourself: "Is it really worth it?" Is it really worth defending these friends of yours when not too long ago they threw someone like Xycros under a running bus? You realize that could be you next at any point, right? The second you bruise one of their egos or show hesitation around them it's over.
Is it worth being implicated with all of them when and if the worst ever leaks out from the inside?
