Governments, OF and [LIA]

[Typrop]

wow, a game predicated on social interaction behaves like any environment where social interaction takes place? color me surprised

the irony is much of this reads like the same level of anti-bullying rhetoric in american schools, as though institutional policy is going to change the fact that people are just naturally going to exclude certain individuals and behave based on their own particular set of views, with the same level of obfuscated ineffectuality present

here's a hint, if you try to get rid of circlejerks in a community, new ones are gonna pop up elsewhere, or they're gonna be modified to cope (see: individual is technically part of a group, but is more or less an outlier, and the group will go against their desires out of spite) because fundamentally any community is going to be comprised of circlejerks, and the highest argument for actually doing away with player governments is so somebody, or a group of people, that does not understand the lore and the character of the government in question, willingly or unknowingly, doesn't drive it into the dirt with the same level of gusto as circuit city crashing and burning in 2008

tl;dr social politics are dumb and adding institutional policy to prevent them just makes the politics more draconian, this thread is a waste of keystrokes
