I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • i get that there’s valid criticism, but the amount of bad was incongruent with the amount of vitriol in that era that were so demanding

    the mod author lashed out at both the trolls and people caught in the crossfire

    where tho

    it is shitty to “joke” about doxxing people

    definitely, but none of us have seen the context. i’ve been having trouble finding the discord server, and it’d be great if you could find it and the context

    they were not overwhelmed with trolls

    that’s how they read, especially when you compare their comments to the reddit post i linked. not even the sympathy for a person who leaves explains the difference to me



  • now before anyone gets misled by some of the reddit threads gamesradar linked to, some quotes from the relevant reddit thread:

    I worked extensively on most of her mods. In the period immediately following the Daegon 2.0 controversy, I tracked down several recurring trolls (people here might remember them as cycling through Reddit usernames like “SeranasStankPussy” and other such things) as originating from literal Kiwifarms.

    She made a female follower mod called Daegon. It was a suggestive follower with sexy voice and looks, and “bratty princess” personality.

    There was an idea about developing romance option for the follower. The fans were so excited about it. However she ended up adding a bodyguard character as Daegon’s romantic partner instead of opening the options to player. Daegon also had a major backstory rewrite, which was deemed as straying too far from TES lore. Fans felt betrayed. The backlash was so fervently hostile that anything the author posted always received downvotes and she was demeaned/harassed for posting anything (something like “you dare to show your face here?”), even when it’s not related to Daegon.

    At the time, she removed the old version and people leaked her discord server chat, which was very hostile and demeaning to the people complaining.

    Basically: the mod author developed and people on her discord developed a para-social relationship and it went as expected. You can search this sub for that whole thing

    There’s more details on her discord (as usual):

    my photos get passed around on skyrim servers, im called a slut and whore, and for what?

    gamesradar linked to a few of the threads that got overwhelmed with trolls, who amplified how she blocked users (some of which inappropriately) from her mod pages and claimed she encouraged her fans to doxx people based on a single out-of-context screenshot of a random discord fan.
