doing this to anyone is evil but doing it to someone who spends their free time trying to make your treats more enjoyable is just fucking wild beyond measure

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 50 points 4 days ago

It's a good a hobby as any and makes more people happy than most

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 88 points 4 days ago

Unbelievably scummy. As sad as I thought it was, I was understanding of wanting to step back due to increased responsibilities, a common issue for mod projects. But no, some sweaty gamers called fucking ICE on them? And then, moreover, broadcast what the lead dev clearly wanted to remain quiet? What terrible people to put that tip in, unforgivable.

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 79 points 4 days ago

Joe Biden and democratic majorities left in place all agencies necessary for the Trump administration to be doing stuff like this with 10 days of inauguration.

Now, I'm not a violent person but I believe that these nerds should be crammed into lockers until dead

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 64 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Has anyone doxed these nazi losers yet? We need some names, addresses and faces

I just want to talk to them cure-for-fascism

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean, turnabout is fair play

If they want people to live in fear, I say we give them something to fear

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Like that guy who said "your body, our choice"
He's whining about being threatened now. His body, my choice.

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah except he's getting away with it every day

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Every day so far..

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 45 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Like, with pneumatic pressure

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I submit to you that they should fave the horrible fate being forced on others, and every time they suffer it should be live-broadcast online to others who think like them.

[–] net00@lemm.ee 66 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I didn't know what the contexts behind all of this was, but after reading a bit it was all because of a stupid mod.

Holy fuck, only some sick fuck does this over a stupid videogame.

But the main lesson here is to never share any personal details to the internet. That's how they were able to SWAT him. You never know who is trying to fuck with you.

People are shit.

[–] Pastaguini@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Will ICE reports become the new swatting?

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

astronaut-1 swatting was always just ICE raids that could target white people

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago

Libs: "Heh, in evil East Germany, your neighbours would sell you out to the stasi smuglord "

Also libs: "So anyway, I sent the ICE Gestapo to a cool mod creator because I'm a racist piece of shit frothingfash "

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 50 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Does anyone know why they called ICE on him? Just because he had a Hispanic sounding name?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 52 points 4 days ago

Likely

ICE-ing may be the new SWATting

And damn, that's a depressing sentiment

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've spent a little bit of time today trying to doxx this loser. They had been kicked off the Tamriel Rebuilt discord for being a bigot so now they're trying to "get revenge". They've also been a menace in the fallout modding scene for years. Literally what they're originally mad about in this instance is that the mod kept getting put on hold because it "didn't have clear vision" and that the modder used some assets from other mods, that was enough for them to call in the gestapo.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hope you find them. Or that someone does. Disgusting people.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I made some progress but I stopped digging last night when I confirmed there were no ICE arrests at a house in Tucson the day they were claiming the discord messages were from. And as of a couple hours ago the supposedly deported Dev was posting on Discord.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

That's a relief. Thank you.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 50 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not surprised. G*ming is a cornerstone to american style burger neo-fascism and G*mers are their ideological foot soldiers (my name joke aside).

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 44 points 4 days ago

Gamers get the wall

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 40 points 4 days ago

Gee, I wonder why so many companies are getting 'woke' and don't care about the opinions of Gamers^TM^

[–] bjmllr@lemm.ee 43 points 4 days ago

Wasn't that account made specifically to harass morrowind modders?

[–] newmou@hexbear.net 40 points 4 days ago

Damn this is legitimately evil

[–] KrasMazov@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 4 days ago

What the actual fuck

[–] SoJB@lemmy.ml 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Interestingly, a phenomena gaining rapid traction is the cognitive breakdown immigrants are having after realizing the comrades back in their home country are living better than they, who worked so hard in America, are.

They leave behind friends, extended family, support networks, have to learn a new language, new culture, endure shitty food, endure racism and systemic discrimination, just to work 12 hours a day and spend all their money on rent.

I think this is a big contributor to their support for Trump and liberalism. To do otherwise is to realize they got conned by the American Scam.

I foresee violence coming in greater scale, and I am never wrong.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Is life actually better back home? If that were the case I'd imagine a lot of people would be emigrating from the US, but there's probably something I don't understand here.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

It depends, some migrants moved due to economic problems like poverty but not all countries in Latam have gotten better like Haiti so they would be returning to same things

Others are refugees escaping violence so in some cases (like being hunted by a cartel) returning could be a death sentence

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Its no small thing to build a life and a home and a community. Let alone doing it again. And again.

I cannot convince my trans friends living in danger to come live with me because they have roots, older fam, various types of kin etc. A life. that they feel they'd be abandoning. They'd rather stay and fight on their feet or at least stubbornly resist until its off to the camps at gunpoint.

And some of these people are witnessing their friends being rounded up by ICE, had family deported under the first Trump admin etc, they are not completely delusional to the reality that may face them.

I imagine this is a sentiment adjacent to that felt by many who you'd think might voluntarily emigrate to escape the American nightmare. There's a lot of romantic notions many peoples heads. Maybe it would feel like a betrayal to leave if your parents or grandparents risked their lives to get you a slice of that American pie.

The couple of documentaries I've seen about Tongan and Samoan deportees working a plot of land in what looks like paradise to me show people who are getting by but treated forever as foreign outsiders, shunned, suspected of being inherently criminal, raised without shared local language and customs etc. Perpetual outsiders.

Its still fucked even when they find relative prosperity. That's the impression I get.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is this a bit? Is the truth?

What kind of braindead kills a fanmade project because of the nationality of the creator????

Even the most nazi SchoolShootingian with a single braincell would at least wait for the project to be completed before reporting.

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

I saw this on the TwoBestFriendsPlay reddit earlier and they were saying this was unconfirmed, could just be a dude fabricating screenshots

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago

Average Bethesda fan

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Who is Tamriel Rebuilt Community Watchdog?

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Was wondering this too. If they're officially associated with the Tamriel Rebuilt mod, which is a huge and long developed project, that's a really bad look.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

I’m guessing some group of insane fans of the mod who police it to make sure there’s no woke in it?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Average gamer behavior.

Project Brazil devs are next

When the Christians were being killed off in old Rome, even then the courts didn't accept anonymous tips, as plinius the young wrote to a priest.

Didn't think the USA could stoop down this far.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, basically the American deportation squad

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I just want to add the context that ICE did not exist prior to 9/11/2001. it was a consolidation of previously separated powers of investigation, intelligence gathering, enforcement, and incarceration into a single agency under "Homeland Security" and became the largest enforcement arm under "Homeland Security".

there have been calls for it's disbanding since it was started, as it's pretty clearly a dystopian paramilitary with extralegal, unconstitutional powers to run absolutely wild, but as with all Patriot Act related moves, there has been a consistent effort to memory hole it's short history and pretend it is an eternal agency that existed in the US since the dawn of time.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

American stasi if the stasi actually did what capitalists claim they did

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

i prefer calling them the gestapo, the stasi were based anti fascists

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

stasi were actually good people and are largely overvilified by actually existing nazism BND

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

least fascist bethesda consooooomer
