I think the thing that frustrates me the most is that people are so quick to give Vrel the benefit of the doubt, as if hes some hapless bystander and not the main creator of the game, regularly going out of his way to protect Puri. Hes literally friends with the guy. Vrel has been and probably will always be Puris spineless enabler. "why isnt Vrel doing anything?" Because he doesnt care, next question.
Theyre literally pulling a good cop, bad cop routine and whats even more embarrassing is that it works. I see soooo many people take both his and puris statements at face value, or feeling bad for the guy. This isnt some: you kick Puri out and everything will be sunshine and rainbows situation - it never is. We wouldnt have this problem to begin with otherwise.
Vrel repeatedly going "dont be mean to puri" was enough to show me that this guy ain’t shit. didn’t think he was shit the first time I played the game (10% skin color slider being the default. More blonde hair shades than brown, no black or dark brown eyes, the weird skin color options, barely any kinky/curly hair) but that has solidified further with every new instance of rancid bullshit he lets slide.
You seriously think Vrel isnt aware of Puri dropping the N-word, slurs and other racist or homophobic shit in a public server??? (Which has been conveniently scrubbed clean of the multiple instances where Puri threw around the n-word. how curious)
Puri has openly been racist, transphobic and homophobic and (and god knows what else. This guy seems to pride himself on collectiong bigotry flavors like pokemon. Not surprising considering hes literally named PurityGuy) is now openly dabbling in neo-nazi sentiments and holocaust denial.
This has always been going on and will continue to go on because Vrel doesnt care. Vrel and the mods in general have repeatedly decided to not take a stance on things, which is statement enough. Hands them this:
Hell, people seem to have already forgotten the IDF Soldier and Israel thing that happened a few months back.
Anways, heres some screenshots i could find. knock yourself out, feel free to add your own on if youd like.
Major triggerwarnings for all around bigotry. You have it all. (apologies i kinda thought most people were already aware)
Addendum, because I would feel disingenuous if I didn't clear this up. Tbc: I wasn't aware at the time of posting this.
The Screenshots of Doodle are allegedly not from the dol server. Apparently Doodle has gotten help, got put on medication a while back and actively regrets their behavior. I genuinely hope that's the case. And from what I've been told, they're also no longer part of the staff.
I will add however, that the dol server has a history of deleting messages and a history of all around bigotry, Puri chief among them (with Vrel being complicit).
So I, PERSONALLY, have trouble fully believing that instances like that have never happened or that they weren't aware of it, considering everything else. Most importantly at the moment: The neo-nazi sentiments.
Fact is, the server and creators have a history of shit like this. the most recent example being their handling of the idf soldier that is/was part of their server.
Not to mention their love of taking apolitical stances. Which tells me everything I already needed to know.
