Hey y’all, I just lurk here for Smash and Nintendo news, but I’ve seen all that went down, and I just want to say.
It is our human nature to build communities, to be part of communities. The purpose of a community is to protect each other, both physically and emotionally. We build communities effortlessly, without even knowing we are doing it sometimes, because they are so necessary, comforting, and beautiful. That is why it is so tragic to see one betrayed, and to see it crumble and slip into negativity and chaos.
Times like this are when a community is most needed, especially for those who were effected most. Even though I personally am only slightly invested in this particular community, I have seen that many here are very invested. So for those of you who are staying here, help it to be a comforting, safe community. It is the best way to combat negativity. Communities are beautiful, and it is always a right to be a part of one. But they are breakable. The stronger and kinder each person is, the stronger the community is as a whole.
