The wank was so stupid to begin with. It got blown WAY out of proportion. Should those people have had a better set of boundaries? Yes. Was it really worth a massive wg thread? No. I've seen more drama go down at a PTA meeting, and the wank happened days before everything went to light.
I will say that it did cut down on my activity in the game massively and also made me super uncomfortable, but it's all blowing over and is nothing game ruining. To be honest, this was a good thing to act as a reminder and warning for the future when someone eventually blurs the lines again. I've also noticed that many people in-game were against that rhetoric and felt pretty grossed out about it, too, the few times that it came up in conversation.
It shouldn't slow our steam or ruin the fun. We just have to be more mindful in the future, as a collective, to treat other people as respectful human beings and to not take all of this fake stuff too far. I still love this game and the cr and the plots. If I'm uncomfortable with a player, I just won't tag with them. Easy.
