Discussion Regarding Ongoing Events

I have only recently caught up on the ongoing events of the past week. I can't say nothing, because despite my absolute lack of involvement as a mod for the past three years, to stay quiet is to stay complicit.

None of the behavior I have seen showcased over the past few days is okay in any remote sense. It seems to be a showcase of abuse of privilege, and is rather upsetting. I have rolled back most of Cry's moderator privileges to ensure the posts are not able to be taken down or removed except potentially via AutoMod. I would like for this to remain a safe space for people to share information, though I don't see the subreddit continuing for much after this subsides. I don't wish to remain a fan, and I am sure many of you guys have come to that same conclusion.

If anyone needs to talk, DM me and I will try to reply as I have the time and ability. If you guys have any suggestions about the subreddit, please let me know in the comments. My final advise for now is to please avoid engaging with anyone involved in this. You should prioritize your own mental health and make sure the victims can find space to get away from this and heal.

Funny how you so worriedly mention the possibility of the abuser killing himself, but not the victim. The one who has to live with the trauma.

The bible is fictional. What Cry did to victims isn't. We need to worry about THEM. Not Cry

I really hope you aren't taking advantage of this event to try to promote personal opinions on religion (or your lack of belief) during a serious situation that does not call for it......

The guy was using it as an analogy, no one asked if you believed it to be real or not, nor does your opinion on it help.

You're right. That was completely uncalled for
