I grew up with heavy bullying, i was bullied and became a buller, i got a lot of racism on most games just by being mexican, there is even too much racism btwn latin americans, people is not going to change, they are just going to hide their true colors in public affairs. You can't just get offended by someones else saying stupid things on the internet.
Now we are living on a more soft community trying to be inclusive and pretending to be highly educated and empathic, but honestly they are just pretending and lying to others and themselves, so we are on the edge that our freedom speech is limited by not trying to hurt someone's feelings and it is not only aoe community, that mentality is spreading among this newer generations, basically you can be a jerk in your life and with ur friends and keep that on private, but pretend to be another person when using social media or forums just to get some likes.
The incident with gabi and spring wasn't only a misunderstanding, things could have got worse, for example naomi and spring are full time streamers, they could have get banned on report and twitch first bans then after the appealing they do investigate things, meanwhile that could have affected in real life their incomes, that is why such accusations can't be handled so lightly, i saw a lot of people getting really angry with spring and naomi just because they felt identified with racism on their lives, i mean that sucks but you can't start a campaign of hate based on merely misinterpretation of a random conversation, before jumping into conclusions gabi should have went to namoi's channel and find out all that related stuff with monkeys or apes on her channel to verify if it was something they use to do or just doing cause they don't like her or her friends, even viper went to investigate that without having nothing to do.
Anyway we only have aoezone to speak partially free about aoe stuff, aoeforums bans you just by calling someone else noob, on discord channels you get kicked if you say something the mods or the admin don't like, on reddit you can't talk bad about the game and obviously you also get banned on twitch streams if the owner doesn't like your tone, i think people should be more mature on forums and not overreact when they don't share the same opinion or else we might end up without it.
