much like how everything is... control the media/word of mouth. prevent awareness so only the people they want to get publicized get it...

Yes yes, but how exactly do you think Selebus and a hypothetical gang of Selebus-like people would ever manage to reach a position where they have the power to do such a thing ?
This statement is extremely subjective. The same as someone saying that there are no films as good as The Shawshank Redemption or Rain Man for example. Or no musicians as good as Bruce Springsteen or Lang Lang for another.
There will always be critics of the work of artists and creative persons of all stripes. A large part of being in that space will be learning how to handle that criticism in a healthy and positive way. Not in flying off the handle at people who disagree with you.
Behaviour like that which has been seen recently will ultimately become a doom spiral feeding on itself if allowed to continue as has been seen over the last few months. ie The more aggressive the language used to denounce certain individuals, groups, communities etc, the likely that people in those groups will take actions that will further irritate or wind up (for lack of better terms) just to spite the individual, which then is seen to necessitate a further response and so on and so on and it doesn't end. Ultimately events like that which has been seen recently could encourage even more people to leak or pirate his work simply to spite him which is the opposite of the effect I presume he wants.
Sometimes we need to run things past our own inner pyschologist before we say/write anything (which to be fair you could say of me and this). As an example your keeping a friend distracted from something happening outside you don't tell them not to look out of the window because they are likely to immediately look.
I would like to add as a caveat that I am not trying to enflame another argument or anything like that. I am to the best of my knowledge not directly affiliated with anyone who either develops or leaks any title on this site. I am just simply trying to call for calm on all sides.

gain control of f95/itch for 'media' control' using plants, keep their head down till they have enough power to force decisions. much like how the video game journalist industry got destroyed in the last 10 years. infiltrate the industries that work as their money source in the same way, such as patreon/SS and 'cancel' things that compete with them.
this is so route in our current society that it really doesn't need to be pointed out
Why are their so many best girls?!?!? Its almost impossible for me to settle on a top 3 with Rin, Maya, Yumi, Kaori and Molly constantly rotating their positions every update. I played this pretty much exclusively since the new year and have finally finished all the content and I feel a strange mixture of both empty/blown away.
Drama aside Selebus sure can write a compelling story.

if you go back a handful of pages to before Selebus posted here, you'll find that DarkDaemonX posted the passwords. I can't remember them off the top of my head, but they are here.
edit: nevermind, found it.

No shit Sherlock. For the record i'm not saying LiL is the absolute best thing ever, just that in my humble opinion no art of value was ever created by a perfectly sane mind.
Interesting. You ever thought about creating a game ?

The current AI just forgets your earlyer prompts (in free versions), and if not, after each step of the story many scales shift here and there giving you this result. Like, if in the beginning of the story there was 0% chance to encounter necromancer, after, for example, step 1500 it will go up enough to be a possibility, since some of the relatable scales were touched. There was a corpse? +1. There was a cemetery? +1. Its currently night? Here, have a vampire. In non fantasy world. Ah, yes, there was a swamp somewhere, so, here some lizardmans. But they have guns. Since its non fantasy and all.

I've seen some extremely dumb takes on both sides, honestly. Finding a middle ground would require everyone to make a step towards the other and compromise. Maybe acknowledge this whole thing went too far and apologize.
I think it's very unlikely to happen anytime soon.

This is my favorite way of describing this I've ever heard. Kudos to you sir.
Bro you did not just bust out the motto of every miserably toxic 14 year old terminally-online tumblr user unironically
Selly's quirks were perfectly benign and the game was perfectly as fucked up as it has always been a year ago before Patreon imploded. Temporarily losing his income and wasting all that time making the SFW version for nothing seems to have broke something inside of him. Which is understandable, but I think most of his fans are hoping he'll finally move on from it for the sake of the game.

I truly do not understand why anyone cares about Selebus' personality. If I like the game (which I do), I'm supporting him. If I don't like the game, then I'm deleting the game and obviously not supporting him. Whether I like Selebus or not is completely irrelevant - neither is whether he's raging against F95.
Of course there are things outside the game which would keep me from supporting him. If it turns out he's a huge neo-Nazi or something, then yeah, I'm going to stop giving him my money. But simply being an asshole? Who gives a shit? It affects me in no way whatsoever.

You're making the argument that black people shouldn't be able to enjoy HP Lovecraft's works. Who gives a shit what the author thinks, as long as it doesn't leak into the work itself? I can only speak for myself, but I've been a fan of this game for years and sunk a decent chunk of money into it. I want it to succeed. The only time the author's neuroses have been at all relevant are when they interfere with the development and quality of the game, which they have.
What are the admins here doing that is so unreasonable? Facilitating the purpose of this website within the interpretation of the rules they have decided to enact?

i dont know what you are getting at... i support piracy... didnt get the 'CP content' cause it seemed like a waste of time even after it became free.

You draw the line at neo-Nazi (8/10 asshole), most other people draw the line at more mundane levels of asshole (like 3-4/10 asshole).
A big part of why people support content creators is they like their public image and the communities they cultivate. The dev's escalating (public) assholery has turned the F95 thread largely negative/critical and the Discord into a miserable, toxic quagmire. That's going to have a much bigger impact on the game's success - and by extension, the dev's mental state - than any amount of piracy. So we're effectively stuck in a cycle, and the only potential solution we have to look forward to is the break he's supposedly taking.
Despite Selly's nonsensical and self-aggrandizing protestations, the game is the only real victim in this, and it being good is the biggest thing both sides want.

Of course, Lovecraft Country, with black leads, was perhaps flipping a giant middle finger at HP's corpse.
The same would also apply to Wagner, but his association with "A Certain German Party" is fresher than HP's racism.
It's easier to separate the art from the artist when the artist is no longer around to make a profit from their work or use their fame to harm others (i.e. DEAD). HP Lovecraft, Richard Wagner, Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the rest from the early 20th century are no longer here to stir up shit and vex us.
Living "Big Name" authors/artists, on the other hand, whether we're talking about JKR, "Ye," or others, do have the ability to use their money and influence to enable hate. Honestly, Selebus is not that influential outside of this small pond, his rage isn't really harming others that I can see, but money is energy, money is a transferrable form of our physical/intellectual labor. We all have to decide where we want our energy to go.

Yeah man - your boy popped his top when one of his own patrons decided to share the content they paid for. Maybe he shouldn't have any patrons at all? Is that what you're saying?
Reading comprehension continues to evade the Discord kittens. Classy as always
Really? People hate me? Dang, I haven't gotten any hate here. Wonder why

Out of curiosity, if you put NN at 8/10 then what would be a perfect 10/10 asshole ?
