Thatās a rather extreme case, but considering some recent controversies with a certain individual itās entirely in line with what Iām saying. DrivethruRPGās less than adequate handling of the situation is exactly the kind of response fostered by the current culture.
But the majority cases Iām talking about do not involve malice, for example in regards to the recent Trophy contest, one user expressed concern that another was excited and wanted to publish the incursions. It struck me as weird; I can understand where theyāre coming from of not wanting to slippery slope into churning out assembly line incursions, but when it manifests itself as actively discouraging people from pursuing success or larger recognition it doesnāt give me the impression of a community that supports and platforms one another.
