aspenIt's really interesting that DarkNecrid of all people was taking the moral high ground on sexual abuse and unacceptable community behavior in the last thread; acting like some gleaming paragon of TF2 virtue because he's a MOD ON R/TRUETF2 (a real accomplishment) and a member of some self-declared "old guard" of UGC Highlander players.
This is the same man that wrote rape fantasy fiction without consent about "cumming" on my wife's face and "licking it off" and then was very confused and upset after he showed her that she didn't want to talk to or be around him anymore. He was also well known for approaching and befriending underage e-girls in pubs/centers circa 2013. I knew several people that were associated with him via UGC HL but didn't want to actively talk to him because he gave off a creepy, George Harvey vibe.
He also sent a lynch mob of his "old guard Highlander" friends to bombard my Tumblr at the time with messages to kill myself and that I was a "gross tranny faggot" after I told two members of his precious girl gamer harem that they weren't very good at Pyro/Medic.
TLDR; DarkNecrid is a super nice guy and isn't a creep in any manner whatsoever. He definitely has a leg to stand on in the debate about sexist/homophobic/racist behavior in the Team Fortress community, he's a mod on r/truetf2, after all.
I can't speak for DarkNecrid being involved in anything, but it is well known among UGC circles that there is a circlejerk of mostly banned people from UGC HL who are known to sexually harass women, trade nudes like pokemon cards and actively troll people and abuse admins. I myself seen some of them posting on UGC Discord, mostly laughable people easy to ignore, they have a discord where they invited me to attend, so I checked it out and got a stream of abuse about my girlfriend who was a UGC HL admin for many years.
Not 100% sure if these are the same people who trade nudes for fun though, but there is a huge amount of them in UGC buried underneath the chasms.
This is one thing about this thread that annoys me, that lot of people are on their soap box about Pr*d and though said was wrong and certainly upsetting for Uberchain, the victim and they got punished - There are and have been people actively doing FAR worse than him for a long time who have had nowhere near the same level of public witchhunting.
It's mostly just kids being immature, wanting to feel part of a group so think it's cool to do these things, for me and my girlfriend it was water of a ducks back really but there are people who certainly are what I would also call victims.
Problem I have with posting this I am so against public witchhunting because there are always other sides to stories, whilst I am assured there is evidence, nobody wants to take action about it, whether it's fear of using images to appropriate abuse, or whether it's a willingness not to ruin reputations of individuals or the league or just nobody really giving a fuck, I can't say. There is more out there and it' really hard to determine who is responsible for what exactly.
Good news is most these people are banned from UGC and they are shit enough at the game to never appear anywhere else of note except in their little hole.
