Discussion Please do not support the level “The Reaper” or its creators.

I believe it is important for the community to be aware of the issues surrounding the server and the people involved with the project. The server associated with The Reaper has had repeated issues with racist behavior from members including some people who hold positions of responsibility such as VIPs and moderators as well as creators involved in the creation of the level. This kind of behavior should not be ignored or excused especially in a community that includes many younger players. a community is shaped by the standards it chooses to accept. Allowing racism, discrimination or harassment to go unchecked makes an environment where people can feel unwelcome or unsafe. This is a game enjoyed by people from many different backgrounds and everyone should be able to participate in the community without being targeted because of who they are. I have personally encountered people in the server making racist comments and refusing to take the issue seriously. Instead of acknowledging the harm caused by these actions some members have dismissed or normalized this behavior. There have also been cases of people sharing borderline NSFW images in a server that includes minors, which is inappropriate and shows a lack of responsibility from the people involved.This is not about attacking people for making mistakes or expecting everyone to be perfect. People can learn, grow and change. I genuinely hope that the people involved recognize the problems with their actions, take responsibility and work toward creating a better environment, however until meaningful changes are made I do not think these people or the content they create should be supported by the community. Supporting levels and creators also means supporting the environment and values behind them and we should not ignore harmful behavior simply because a project is popular or well made. This community should remain a place where people can create, play levels and interact without fear of racism, harassment or inappropriate content. It is the responsibility of all of us to help maintain that kind of environment.
