A user played a blank card threatening to shoot up a certain school. Another player in the match reported it to the FBI, and, due to the legal costs racking up against the person running the servers, PYX has been closed.
It wasn’t the admin’s fault, it was a dumb player who has since been arrested.

Fun story (maybe?): when I was younger, my brother was super duper into COD and he is actually really freaking good at it. So one day, he gave me his mic headset and told me to talk while he was playing and it was WILD. The levels of salt that young men produce when under the impression that a little girl is destroying them in COD is a beautiful thing.
Did you ever just feel so lucky for knowing someone you met online? Like.. I was one click away from not following you. I was one second away from never even knowing of your existence. I would never have been this happy.
people have said this before but just. to reiterate. ‘representation matters’ is the antithesis of ‘fiction doesnt affect reality’. you can’t claim both.
if you agree that positive representation (for example, well written, humanized gay characters) can normalize and help gay teenagers, then you inherently have to also accept that negative representation (for example, accepted and sympathetic pedophile characters) can normalize pedophilia to people. this is the same vein of the same critical thought. you can’t claim that representation matters if you also believe that someone writing ‘non con’ adult / child porn is fine since its fictional.
