Oh I did, at the time. His response was to accuse me of bias. About a month later he went on a ban spree trying to clear as many staff off the server as possible before getting community removed. Agro’s final conversation in the discord was about transwomen, where he (as always) claimed to not be transphobic while in the same breath calling them “men pretending to be girls”. He also included being trans in his ban reasons during his crashout. If that doesn’t qualify for you, it’s willful ignorance. It’s unfortunate that all the people affected saw it coming a mile away, only to be disregarded or shoved into a corner at every turn. During his tenure of staff he even randomly accused me of knowing people personally and showing them favoritism, because I was working against transphobia.

Hi. Welcome to the decompression chamber. So, for like the past two or three months there’s been a few notable incidents where I’ve seen some trans members of the TitsRP community being subject to abuses of various kinds. The usual, dumb kinda shit you see on Gmod or just the internet as a whole obviously, but also slurs and general player targeting. Now that Agro is finally on the chopping block and out of the staff team I feel like I can say with full, less-than-professional clarity: Fuck that guy. Fuck everyone else involved in perpetuating that behavior too. The mask has slipped enough for it to be blatantly obvious, but I wish it didn’t have to come to that point in order for something to be done about it. Some of y’all have probably more than noticed the gaslighting taking place when trans folk on the server would have their concerns/reports ignored or would become the recipient of extremely severe punishments for minor indiscretions. Bringing up incidents like these, I’ve seen people (Agro included) say that it’s an overreaction and not that important. Well, here’s where complacency brought us. I wish I could say it’ll get any better, but it won’t. That’s kinda a fact of life right now, and I’m sure y’all know it much better than I do. Regardless, I wish you all the best and I hope you’re all doing okay. Crossing our fingers, things will look better, and people will stop playing pretend like there isn’t a problem. I say it a lot, but remember to document everything. Have receipts, so that if incidents occur, no guilty party has plausible deniability. Thank you for being a part of our community, and stay safe.

Did you know you can weapon search players who have a gun out by default? I did. It’s my favorite thing to do. The sound of it, the little ping of the game notifying me of their illegal weapons. The clasp of my cuffs around their wrists. The complete cessation of their gameplay for my sake. There is nothing quite like it. I’m addicted to it— the feeling as I press R and highlight “Owning a gun without a license”. I fine them for 500 DarkRP dollars. The feeling of my $32 cut hitting my bank account is equivalent to orgasm. Every time a new mayor is elected, I immediately rush to his office and get on my hands and knees, begging for him to make weapons and SWEPS illegal. Every weekend, I spend 20 USD to ensure I have enough suga to instantly demote ANY mayor who does not do this. In this way, I become more than the mayor. I become a god. I am the law. The law is me. I am John Copman.
