The whole thing was that it wasnt just social media, that wasnt the point
the point of it was that if they are willing to ruin public trust and be gigantic authoritarian bullies over a simple disagreement in opinion (bigotry) then once they decide that something IS actually worth action over, its going to be far worse
the social media was just the LAST straw, it wasnt THE straw that broke the camel's back
it could have started with the social media posts and it wouldn't have gotten this far, so it implies its not social media itself
...its all a confluence of actions, however you want to say it... each action itself was not enough to warrant such a response, but they all TOGETHER made it *inevitable*
and your entire behavior about this situation seems as if you are part of it, and are trying to point fingers elsewhere... regardless of how or what you did to contribute, and how little or great that may be
the infighting caused as a result, and the removal of people who are valued contributors makes the project weaker and less capable in the end... so it DOES affect the game engine, which in turn, affects anyone who the game is made for... which basically means it affects anyone interested in that genre of game
it very very quickly gets out of hand unless you arbitrarily restrict the scope you are willing to consider as "relevant"
