Have you ever played a mod so good you felt it stuck out among hundreds? For most people active in modding communities, at least one springs to mind. For fans of the old x-com game, this mod was x-piratez, one with at least 400 hours of content competely original to the mod. Its earliest known origins can be traced back to 2015. Its developer Dioxine, put years of his life into the mod and was rewarded with recognition and the growth of a community dedicated to the mod.
The largest and most active users in the x-piratez community were in the official discord created by Dioxine himself, a place full of people from different countries and political back grounds. The discord was lightly moderated and generally hard to get banned from short of posting illegal content. Unfortunately for Dioxine, discord moderators are not known for their love of humor, particularly the type that he and server members engaged in.
With tolerance towards such soul crushing words like "nigger", the jannies at discord hq had no choice but to delete the server and with it hundreds of accounts. "Hundreds?" you may find yourself asking. Unsurprisingly the jannies failed at their job and shotgunned innocent people, possibly even more than than hundreds depending on how many random users they actually banned.
If the death of the x-piratez discord was the end of the fallout, it would be a pretty big blow to the community, However the ban wave expanded to people not even active during the weeks leading up it, What could have triggered such a response? Perhaps a glance towards our respectable redditor counterparts might stoically explain what justified the countless bannings...
The only archival of bannable behavior seems to be possessed by these 2 redditors, which is suspicious seeing as there was no uproar prior to the banning itself regarding the xpiratez discord. For a server around since 2015, It seems a bit out of place that a mass purge would take place all of a sudden. When looking into the posting history of one of the two people who posted in defense of the bannings, things become a bit clearer.
Our redditor friend's knowledge of the server seems quite intense, and it seems as if of particular interest to them was the "transphobia", and The devs previously mentioned "pedo jokes" which our 41%er couldn't be asked to properly archive.
Of course not to be outdone, our morally exceptional redditor not only defends the attempted destruction of collective decades of work but even being the sole driving force behind it because of "my twansphobia".
