Over the course of the last weeks I really have to say how impressed and surprised I am by our community.
We've faced so much hate; we've been ignored, ridiculed, and insulted. We would have every reason to lash out, but instead, I keep seeing us take that hate and transform it into something positive.
Donations, petitions, mutual support, appreciation for artists and developers and now, when antis use the recycling symbol to mock Valko, what do we do?
We embrace it and use it to promote environmental protection and recycling! We clean up forests and share information about organizations dedicated to the environment!
To some, this situation might just look like some drama in the gaming world, but the way our community reacts and acts is impressive. It goes far beyond just a game.
It shows that people from all over the world can come together, it reveals the good in people, it demonstrates that we can support one another and leave a legacy of positive action rather than tearing each other down.
In times when it's easy to lose hope in the world and humanity, for me our community is proof that things can be different!
I am not saying that hate doesn't exist or that we don't sometimes go too far or make mistakes. We are human, we aren't perfect and emotions can outpace our reason.
But the fundamental concept of transforming something negative, something meant to hurt, into something that helps people, animals and the environment is an incredible principle upon we are built and I deeply appreciate every single one of us for that!
Keep Howling for Love and never forget that we're already making a difference 💛🐺
