Alright i’m not gonna waste anyone’s time here with long-winded shite or whatever. we’re here because James Oathy, a long-time user, got banned over something that really fucking feels like a misunderstanding blown out of proportion. I’m asking you to read this with some real human context, not from some black-and-white mod rulebook.
he’s a dude in his 30s, living in Asia with his wife and kids. full family man. solid guy. and like a lot of us here, he jumps on Forum in his free time to escape the grind and chill with others who get it okay. nothing weird. nothing shady. just a guy part of the culture, part of THIS community.
Where James is based, the social norms are hella different like completely fucking different. People there aren’t walking on eggshells about playful jokes and ragebait or how a comment might come across online. it’s looser. more laid-back. people don’t read into every line like it’s a court transcript. In fact, according to James himself, he said in China or where ever the fuck he is that you could just go out and beat your wife and not a soul would bat an eye at it. And that’s the headspace he was in. when he interacted with "BasedEgirl", it wasn’t some calculated creep move. it was just casual, jokey energy. A bit of light teasing. some edge maybe but not malicious, not sexual predator type of shit.
so "BasedEgirl" felt a certain way. fair enough. Everyone’s allowed to have boundaries or whatever. but calling James a perv? Like come on. that’s a big word. a fucking loaded one if you ask me. and if he was really some habitual creep, if he was that trust me when I say the internet would’ve exposed him long ago. he’s been online for years. Like his face is just plastered everywhere you look. Active. Public. Known. and nothing’s ever come up. no screenshots. no whispers of any pervy shit. no smoke = no fire.
he wasn’t just a lurker. he had flavour. a certain presence. and the way he typed you know that fucking clean, almost academic style with a sarcastic twist. the jokes. the well-thought-out takes. he made the threads pop off in a way that’s just fucking missing now. his absence is loud, and a lot of us feel it. it’s like a key piece of the forum just disappeared.
Celestial, all I’m saying is take another look. not just at what was said, but at who said it, the context, the tone, the track record. was it a mistake? maybe. a misread moment? possibly. but a perma-ban feels extreme.
Bring James back I need that smooth suave way he typed you know what I mean? He's fucking weird as hell but in a good way and he was just quick with it like fuck man. WE ALL need some Oathy back in our lives NOW
PLEASEEEEE CELESTIALL PLEASSEEEE
It's been my pleasure presenting this defence proposal and I SINCERELY hope its taken into consideration by you, my dear friend Celestial.
Yours faithfully,

Who THE FUCK is James Oathy?

Cultural Context matters
Where James is based, the social norms are hella different like completely fucking different. People there aren’t walking on eggshells about playful jokes and ragebait or how a comment might come across online. it’s looser. more laid-back. people don’t read into every line like it’s a court transcript. In fact, according to James himself, he said in China or where ever the fuck he is that you could just go out and beat your wife and not a soul would bat an eye at it. And that’s the headspace he was in. when he interacted with "BasedEgirl", it wasn’t some calculated creep move. it was just casual, jokey energy. A bit of light teasing. some edge maybe but not malicious, not sexual predator type of shit.
The accusation vs reality
so "BasedEgirl" felt a certain way. fair enough. Everyone’s allowed to have boundaries or whatever. but calling James a perv? Like come on. that’s a big word. a fucking loaded one if you ask me. and if he was really some habitual creep, if he was that trust me when I say the internet would’ve exposed him long ago. he’s been online for years. Like his face is just plastered everywhere you look. Active. Public. Known. and nothing’s ever come up. no screenshots. no whispers of any pervy shit. no smoke = no fire.
James brought something to this place
he wasn’t just a lurker. he had flavour. a certain presence. and the way he typed you know that fucking clean, almost academic style with a sarcastic twist. the jokes. the well-thought-out takes. he made the threads pop off in a way that’s just fucking missing now. his absence is loud, and a lot of us feel it. it’s like a key piece of the forum just disappeared.
