Just want to share this here because I think it’s kinda funny.

I joined the iiSU (emulation frontend) discord server a while ago, but never really interacted there. A big controversy popped up yesterday about some nazi imagery and transphobic content, followed with an apology that’s read a bit like a deflection really.

Ever since the server has been freaking out in all directions in the text channels, me and other users are calling for better moderation and for the channels to just be locked til they figure things out.

There’s a bunch of transphobes, zionists and nazis there, with basically no action being taken.

A nazi fucker starts using antisemitic emotes and language, I call for their ban for being a nazi, they don’t deny and then accuse me of being a communist and laughs at it, I tell them to follow their leader, I get immediately banned lmao.

The dude posted multiple antisemitic comments, but I guess telling a nazi to follow their leader is too much lol.

Edit: Looks like more stuff happened to the project in the meantime. The Memory Core just posted reporting that the head of the project, Usagi, stepped down, among other news regarding the project.

Edit 2: There’s grooming allegations you can find on this megathread, fucking hell.

    I was following iiSU to try them out… Anyway, We can start a community based on emulation in here comrade. ‘Cause I don’t wanna support Nazis unintentionally.

      Having an emulation comm here would be super cool! I’m not usually that knowledgeable on it, but being able to see more discussions here would be great. I was following iiSU because it genuinely looks amazing.

      Also, looks like there have been some developments on the whole situation. I just received a newsletter from The Memory Core talking about it and saying that Usagi just stepped down from the project, the scope on the social features are getting cut back a bit and that the new leadership is more open to making the project Open Source.

      I haven’t been in the server since yesterday because of the ban, but I didn’t expect things to go this direction. Tbh Usagi didn’t seem like a bad person, more like someone that got put on the spot and didn’t know how to properly operate under that pressure. His apology was lackluster but was nothing that couldn’t be easily fixed if he genuinely put a little bit of effort into understanding why it was bad.
