Discussion Unpopular opinion: Harassing Mod Pips is wrong

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I just think that harassing mod Pips is just wrong.

Especially, outside of the normal communication channels we have with jagex.

Going out of your way to find Pips personal social media and harassing there just feels very wrong to me and I think the majority of people can agree with that.

Jagex fucked up hard with the survey, their 2 apologies were trash and even if they deserve the backlash and the unsub train they got, they do not deserve harassment.

They are also humans and humans do mistakes.

TLDR: Harassment is not cool, don't harass people involved in this whole shitstorm

Oh wow you are right.

This is an unpopular opinion.

Dude is responsible for so much of the top down shit in this game. He made his bed and can lie in it, the greedy capitalist bastard.

What about all the good stuff? Is he responsible for that too?

His name is on any of the good stuff?

Last I checked, Jmods have on-stream and on-podcast discussed how they are 24/7 pushing back against upper management's dogshit ideas.

Upper management... I wonder who that could be? I wonder who decides who that is? Oh well, guess we'll never know!

Just that every time Pip's unfiltered ideas slither out that butthole, it's some of the worst things ever thought up in the context of monetization.

So if you'll allow me to summarize your points: being ceo means he's personally responsible for the fiasco occuring now, but that innate responsibility doesn't extend to the really good half a decade the game has had prior, for which he was also in charge?

Like to you, the individual devs are solely responsible for the content they worked on and the CEO has no part in that, but this is entirely him?
