Heads up.

[Deleted]

Once I finish moving and have a new schedule down. (Recently quit my job) Now that I won't be under so much stress I will start hosting competitions again along with online once I get settled in.

Nice, it's been a while since I've played JM1 online. It'll be fun to play another match!

Yo guys! where the heck did Adonael go?

[Enigma]

Apparently, on the Discord server, Adonael was badmouthing people on voice chat behind their backs and then he abused his moderator status to enforce non-existent rules about jokes that are 'too edgy' not being allowed (selectively, only targetting one member and nobody else making the jokes,) and then it all blew up and he decided to leave.

I also heard about him being mad because we criticized JM1 and 2 on the Discord quite often and he felt like we were just insulting the games for no reason, which has never been anyone's intention on JMC but it was probably a factor in his bad mental state.

Damn... a lot can happen, even in just a week. I was wondering what happened when I just got on.

I didn't expect this coming from him. I mean, I knew he's had some personal problems from his past, but I didn't think he'd act out here. I can only hope he can find help or some peace of mind...

well according to Adonael's youtube channel he said this

"I left because several members were making racist jokes and I didn't approve of it. I was painted as an asshole and back stabber because of this so I left the community behind."

I haven't seen this before, here are my thoughts:

As someone who is only allowed here because I've been the most consistently active member of the community in the past, and banning me would've caused a lot of damage, I've always had one motto: Give me free speech or give me death.

If you don't like a joke making fun of racist stereotypes (which is the entire point, anyway, to make them seem ridiculous) then too bad, it's just a joke.

Adonael couldn't cancel whoever he wanted, so he canceled himself instead.

I will also add this: I've noticed a disturbing change in western culture in general towards mindless obedience and censorship. People no longer think for themselves, you are not allowed to make jokes anymore, and you can't redeem yourself either. This has never been the way of this community, and as far as I'm aware, this was always meant to be a friendly place where people can discuss stuff like a bunch of friends with interests in common.

I don't know about you, but the people I always hung out with were the ones complaining about the rules, or making jokes about people who broke them. I've never had a friend who complained to me when I made an offensive joke, they laughed at it, the teacher would be the one telling me that it was inappropriate. Often times, the joke WAS the inappropriate nature.

If your definition of 'fun' is being a kid in a kindergarten class, then JMC isn't for you, plain and simple. I can't speak for everyone here, but I'm sure I'm not missing the mark when I say that part of the fun is having a bunch of different people with different preferences as to what is and isn't fun/acceptable to say, and it's best to just embrace that instead of shutting down half the people here just so the other half can have a sterile, boring but safe environment to just... Exist.
