[Image ID: Several screenshots from the Rusty Quill Official discord.
1: From Faustin wing bargains (brinn) on April 29th, 2020.
Brinn: “guys acab is a no go on this server”
2: A censored post from a censored name:
Censored: “Hang on a minute, why was my BLM charity commissions post in #self-promotion taken down yesterday for being "poltical” and now there’s an announcement to the whole server saying “black lives matter”??? It was literally a day apart… 🤔 genuine question okay"
3: A conversation between Anne (back to gold; she/her) and a censored name on Feburary 13, 2020.
Anne: “Please, could we dial back the cop hate? It’s a bit aggressive/poltical for this place, I feel”
Censored Name: “I think more importantly this has devolved into magnus chat hshduss. I’d hope this is a leftist space”
Anne: “We still want to keep actual politics out of it, not in the least because the topics are unpleasant for many people to be reminded of/confronted with
(Also we’re a varied and international community, and there’s nothing to say there aren’t actual real live cops that are RQ fans)”
4: A conversation between Brinn and two censored names (Censored 1 and Censored 2 in the ID) on June 1, 2020.
Brinn: “please remember this is first and foremost a rusty quill fan server. Not all things are appropriate for discussion here, not because of the stance the community holds but because it is actively triggering to some people and this is meant to be an escape.”
Censored 1: “there… are black rusty quill fans. And cast members.”
Censored 2: “this is a general chat, but I get its upsetting because of the state of the world but ACAB is not a call for violence”
Brinn: “this server is for the discussion of rq properties, and any off topic channels are tangential to that”
Censored 1’s message has 3 point up emotes. Censored 2’s message has 3 heart emotes.
5: A post from Bryn (Hamid) (He/Him) on June 1, 2020.
Bryn: “blm we are not asking people not to talk about it. We are asking people not to talk about it here. We have discussed that option and the company has decided not to implement such a channel as we do not think we would be able to operate it in the way which it would deserve”.
This message has 19 pointed up emote, 9 sparkly hearts, 1 middle finger, and 1 thumbs down emote.
6: A message from Brinn on May 28, 2020.
Brinn: “also, general reminder that we’re not in the business of painting entire corporations with the same brush; landlords are not a more acceptable acab”
This message has 2 fruity drink emotes.
7: Messages between Brinn, Nelja, and a Censored name on May 1, 2020.
Brinn: “hi friendly mod reminder to chill on the cop hate not everyone’s american and there are a wide range of folks on the server.”
Nelja: “Honestly I used to dislike Daisy a lot as an evil cop, I was surprised to like her after her redemption arc, but it’s legitimate for everyone to not to be able to forgive anything she did”
Censored: “and I love in Los Angeles. We’ve had full riots in response to the police. We historically Do Not Like Them so it’s interesting seeing Daisy as like… a non American thing? Since normally that’s all I see
Censored: "brinn I’m talking about my cultural impact on it specifically I’m not making any statements”
Brinn: “I know, just wanted to post a reminder”
8: Message from Brinn on April 12, 2020.
Brinn: “yeah, you are definitely free to discuss what aspects of the story make you uncomfortable and why that is, you can’t just be like ‘Daisy sucks bc she’s a cop and all cops suck’ because like…. we got a lot of folks here, some of them might be cops.”
