From Your Reigning HOH

I was so excited to be safe this round, only to find out that I am also HOH! Omg! While my excitement is high to make the Top 12 of Celebrities, I’d rather use my platform today for something else. I have seen a fair amount of hate speech, although I think for the most part we’ve done well. We are better than this (or at least I’d like to think). As someone who was never on the old site, sure — I heard lore. But we don’t have to be that way here. I love the drama and spice in games, but please leave hate speech out of them. There are so many bad things going on in the world. Many people use games like this as an escape from many of those bad things. Let’s not make this another place people feel like they need to escape from. This might get me targeted. You might say “but these are just words” or “you’re too soft” — but I can play these games with you or against you, and still call out when these words are hurtful. I unfortunately will never be a bystander. I appreciate those willing to have conversations and be better, and those willing to help others learn. I have loved meeting so many of you here, and I hope we can keep it a fun space to play in. PS - this isn’t meant to call out any individual, but behavior I think we have all been guilty of in our lives — whether on here, on another site/other games, or in life — all rooted in emotions and — often times — ignorance. - Leehoyminoy <3
