was just watching Chrissy the KuntyComrades’ live and genuinely it was going so well until Geeky joined the panel 😭 everyone was talking, chiming in, disagreeing when they disagreed but it was still respectful and actually listenable. then Geeky joins and within MINUTES the entire vibe is cooked
they interrupted the guest, interrupted their own friendlies multiple times, cut off Charity after she had literally been sitting there patiently waiting to speak, cut off Ernesto and Garcelle, and kept interrupting the guest so much that Garcelle and Marleigh had to tell them to let the man FINISH. then we got this insanely long monologue about the world, their life, school etc and i genuinely started timing it because i was like there is no way we’re still going. EIGHT. MINUTES. 💀 bro i queued for a discussion panel not an unskippable cutscene

eventually i just scrolled because i physically could not listen anymore and that sucks because i actually wanted to hear what everyone else had to say
and before somebody tries it, i’m a leftist myself. i don’t hate Geeky, i don’t want anyone harassing them and i absolutely don’t want harm coming to them. they seem intelligent. that’s actually part of why this is so frustrating. but at this point i genuinely don’t understand what they’re contributing to spaces i otherwise really enjoy. they rarely educate, actual back and forth debate gets completely derailed and whatever advocacy they’re trying to do gets lost underneath the yelling, interrupting and hostility

and it’s not just happening with Nazis or people actively threatening them. i’ve watched the same energy get directed at completely regular guests. the screaming, talking over people, telling people to kill themselves, making violent threats… it’s exhausting. at a certain point you cannot keep blaming every single interaction on whoever happens to be on the other side of it. if the same problem follows you into basically every lobby eventually you gotta consider that maybe you’re the common denominator

i’ve noticed even creators who regularly let Geeky panel have started checking them when it happens so clearly other people are seeing it too, but nothing seems to actually change

at this point i genuinely think people need to stop letting Geeky on panels until they can participate without completely dominating and derailing the conversation because holy shit 😭 i want to hear the OTHER PLAYERS. stop spawn camping the mic
and Geeky if you happen to see this, this isn’t coming from someone who wants your downfall. your own community is asking you to change how you engage in these spaces. please actually hear them
