shineedancer: we’re boned we’re boned we’re dead in the water we’re boooned
JHoops: if wizzard just sent you that update, then em must have just found out about Fury too.
JHoops: she’s never going to play again
JHoops: even if she wanted to, now her parents know and she’s probably still getting threats. it’s over for her. oh my god i wish i could talk to her it’s my fault it’s my fault it’s my fault
ElementalP: we should call the cops and tell them what Muddy did. if he’s arrested Fury can’t play either.
BobTheeQ: Muddy didn’t publish her name, Byunki did. And Emilia would have to sue him to prove he posted with the intent to cause harm in a civil suit. Online harassment requires repeated, person-to-person contact to escalate to a criminal case in the state of Pennsylvania.
JHoops: how do you know that?
BobTheeQ: I got real familiar with harassment laws after B and I broke up.
shineedancer: so because Byunki never contacted her directly or repeatedly it’s not criminal? he can just post her name on some gamergate hub knowing folks will go apeshit and that doesn’t break any laws? your state sucks!
JHoops: she should have the option to sue. someone has to tell her
JHoops: she’s not our competitor anymore and that means my promise to stay away from her doesn’t count right bob
BobTheeQ: Dude, of course.
JHoops: cool cuz if you said no for whatever reason i was gonna do it anyway.
ElementalP: we know
JHoops: matt (different matt) just got back to me. he says the romeros are pissed and they have her on lockdown. She told me once if they ever found out she gamed they’d like kill her
shineedancer: obviously they won’t literally kill her
ElementalP: wait Romeros? she’s latinx and she kept a huge secret from her parents for years and someone called a bomb threat to her school because of it?
JHoops: yes
ElementalP: yeah no they might kill her
JHoops: she was going to tell them after the tournament if Fury won cuz they can’t really argue with a million dollars so GOOD JOB MUDDY
JHoops: to be clear i was still rooting for us but now nobody wins
shineedancer: i mean . . . unless
BobTheeQ: Unless?
shineedancer: unless . . .
JHoops: wait is this going where i think it’s going?
BobTheeQ: It’s the most obvious solution.
ElementalP: more than worth a shot
BobTheeQ: Up to you, Hoops.
JHoops: if you’re serious i think we owe it to her
