Conflict Resolution - Tumblr Posts
How do I tell an entire indonesia based dnd server that the people behind Serverstuck (all of them only knew them from their pathfinder podcast & only aware of the homestuck homebrew module they made, not the entire server activities) aren't good people?
This is highly concerning because one wrong move in that homestuck server like having a character who's 25 years old dating a character in the 100s years old can lead to a ban for age gap
Even a mere 2 years difference between allowed kids age (13-18) can get someone banned
If they're the type of people to ban you for reasonable age gaps, they're likely not the type of people to listen to reason. You can certainly send them some information and resources on the situation, but it would likely result in you being banned anyway.
If you do want to reach out to them and inform them, I'd first create a back-up server of your own design and control and get it fully functional and ready for other members (and maybe even bring some members in) beforehand so you're not out on your ass with nothing if they do bring down the hammer.
(Or find a different server which suits your needs rather than building your own.)
You should always approach education in a milder manner, without superiority or aggression. Often the biggest mistake people make when trying to raise awareness of something or change people's views is stampeding in and acting shitty or snotty about it.
I'd gather a range of evidence from different sources, not just just one. Tumblr, Youtube, online articles, any official broadcasts or publishings, ect. This way there's no doubt about the information, bias, and there's a range of references. (So they can't just dismiss the information given because its a "witch hunting Tumblr post" or what have you.)
If you're concerned about being banned, frame it as bringing it to attention for the greater good of the server and the people within it. Banning such age gaps is often down to simply not wanting to appear to be a bad person or someone who supports bad things, so you can weaponize that to a fashion. But of course tactfully and carefully.
For example:
"I've been researching this topic for a long time now and I feel confident that its appropriate to reach out and make sure you as the mods and admins of the server are aware of—"
