    The saddest part is you don't even realize what you've done wrong.

    The community is not mad at YOU, it's not even mad at your actions (Let me finish), it's mad at your stubborn belief that your actions are an acceptable consequence of your mental health struggles. It may be a reason, but it's not an excuse. We as a community have seen some filth, hell we hear it from political leaders, locker rooms, etc. (And honestly it's unacceptable there too, but I digress).

    The community is highlighting you've done something wrong, and instead of realizing that yes, you have flaws and are building up a plan to be a better person to accept and have the empathy that you hurt someone, and made someone feel uncomfortable and feel an ounce of remorse of another person hurting because of YOUR ACTIONS, you instead turn this around as this self-depreciation of "Oh I'm a terrible human, woah is me, everyone should feel sorry for me, please focus on my hurt, that I'm so damaged to post such filth"

    Your 'apology' didn't actually fix anything, you didn't change anything, and instead demanded the community try to focus on making you feel better with it's emotional labor. THIS is why the community is furious with you. You're sitting here hoping "God" will fix you or something I don't quite know nor want to know, but you need to fix yourself, probably with the help of a professional.

    I know personally I've done some soul searching after having hurt people in the past, but I live with that in my heart that I can't fix it every day, it doesn't make me a bad person, and I've become a better person because of it, yet my actions had consequences. I accept those people will never talk to me again. Unfortunately in this case the people who don't want to talk to you again is pretty much the entire Royals Community. It's not something you can just put a band-aid on and say, "wow I suck" sorry. You need to go grow the hell up, it's pretty loud and unanimous you're not wanted here. We as a community don't have to carry the weight of your mental health struggles nor do we want to. We're too busy making sure the women we care about in the community feel safe to play, and that means, a community without you.

    It'd be best if you simply left.

    Maybe after you've had some real growth, and the community has changed enough you could come back, but honestly that's probably not something for 2025, or probably even 2026.

    I will be thankful towards you sir even if it may have not really meant full well towards me in terms of having a purely good-hearted intention (I'm not very sure in totality?) though you have (that I feel appreciative for) incorporated with constructive criticism made towards me for me to improve my persona as an individual in the real life too and not only in this online game that we play here. I shall not be asking for anyone's sympathy for my impulsivities and even ignorance of how I had treated others rashly at times too. I will just honestly and humbly make an apologetic proposal if anyone at all is willing to accept and let me truly turn a new leaf in all the wrongs that I have done to those who were unfortunately adversely affected by my misbehaviors in any and every way.

    I accept that I am in the wrong for causing even the slightest sense of grief and or hurts towards anyone that I have encountered during my time in-game, and I will also add even in reality. I have done so much grieves to others and at times even without realizing that I was actually indeed the one at fault and to be blamed for my words and actions throughout the whole of my life...

    This is my heartfelt sorry to each and every person I have ever known ever since I have reached my age of accountability of being able to properly understand what is morally right and wrong.

    Thank you, sir, I appreciate your time taken to write in your thoughts towards me. Thank you, brother I am sincerely grateful for you providing me with some advice and also allowing to share some of your personal past experiences and situations too...

    Take care sir~

    Isn't it fun to read walls of texts that ironically says nothing at all? Not even American professors write as pretentiously as ChatGPT.

    Anyway, here's an AI paragraph about apologies:

    The Hollow Apology: When Words Lose Meaning

    In an age where social interactions are often filtered through screens and public scrutiny is just a post away, the art of the apology has become increasingly performative. Many people say “sorry” not out of genuine remorse, but to diffuse tension, avoid consequences, or maintain a favorable image. These insincere apologies—whether issued in personal relationships or on public platforms—raise critical questions about accountability, empathy, and the erosion of trust.

    An apology, at its core, is meant to acknowledge wrongdoing, express regret, and commit to making amends. However, when people apologize without truly meaning it, the apology becomes hollow—mere words without substance. This kind of apology often lacks personal responsibility, with phrases like “I’m sorry if you were offended” subtly shifting blame to the recipient rather than acknowledging the offense. Such language may offer temporary relief or social appeasement, but it fails to address the underlying issue or foster meaningful reconciliation.

    Insincere apologies are especially prevalent in public relations and celebrity culture. Influencers, politicians, and public figures frequently issue apologies after being called out for offensive behavior, often only after facing backlash or financial repercussions. These apologies are typically crafted by PR teams and delivered in a way that aims to preserve reputation rather than express contrition. The result is skepticism and cynicism from the public, who increasingly recognize when an apology is more about damage control than accountability.

    In personal relationships, habitual empty apologies can erode trust over time. When someone repeatedly apologizes without changing their behavior, the words begin to lose meaning. The recipient may feel dismissed or manipulated, leading to resentment and emotional distance. Genuine apologies require vulnerability and self-reflection—qualities that are often uncomfortable but essential for growth and repair.

    Ultimately, the value of an apology lies not in the utterance of the word “sorry,” but in the sincerity behind it and the actions that follow. A real apology involves listening, understanding the harm caused, and demonstrating a commitment to doing better. Without these elements, an apology is just noise—comforting perhaps, but ultimately empty. Society must begin to value accountability over optics and depth over decorum if apologies are to hold their rightful place as tools for healing and connection.

    You're not sorry for doing wrong, you're sorry you got caught.

    I appreciate the input and awareness of an AI application to define when apologies are made by any person, Shiratsuyu. Thank you, Apoc_Ellipsis once more too for personally taking your time and effort with your response towards me and presenting your helpful views for my sake. Every of my word written here is hand-typed. I understand that we are currently living as part of an A.I generation and that it can even be very difficult to distinguish authenticity from artificials often times. I am truly not trying and have never abused the use of that technology whenever I am trying to write in a message over here and all other sites including comments on YouTube for example or anywhere else on the internet either.

    I am thinking as a I manually write each word with the use of my mind. Is there any way that I can prove that so people would actually stop doubting my ability to write a message on the internet? I am trying to be down-to-earth and honest with people, I do not ever want to deliberately deceive anybody, I am personally an advocate for truths to be told. I may not be a professor by any means nor (if anyone here might be surprised to know), am I even a graduate student from university, at most just basic tertiary education is all I have.

    Just learning as I grow older if you know what I mean...

    it's literally guild / alliance chat that is not related to anything that happened in that cwk.

    why is that necessary?

    It's a fully uncropped picture with the entire relevant chat.

    Going to be more strict with that moving forward.
    I don't know if the rest of the chat is relevant or not since I can't read it :'(

    If you are typing these massive walls of text yourself, then please do use AI. Once you have finished writing an essay, put it into ChatGPT and ask it to summarize your essay in a few sentences. Then, you can post that shortened version here, rather than these massive walls of shit that all of us are sick of reading.

    Also, mental health issues do not cause anybody to sexually harass others. As somebody with mental health challenges myself, I am completely disgusted that you think its okay to blame your disturbing behaviour on mental health.

    Alright, then dont include it in the blacklist, I don't mind.

    I cannot access that picture as I took a screenshot with print screen and not with scroll lock, so that's all i got.

    If it was relevant, it would've been in the picture.

    I'm not going to include guild/alliance chat without consent of the users, and i'm not going to ask for it.

    I hope that everyone that is watching will think carefully about inviting this guy to their boss runs.

    Thank you shira :)

    Yeah it seemed pretty toxic to the other char you were talking to, annoying to me. I do notice that your other chars don't act like that as such, so I do see what you mean by split personality. However, I only posted as such cause, as I've said, the first two people I've talked about you had blacklisted you from apqs. If we notice the toxic/annoyingness of GodForgiveMe tones down in apqs sure yeah then we'll note that too. Thank you for the apology, kinda surprised actually.

    FakeMage scammed me with 300 apr. I published a smega selling APR on May 23 and he wrote to me saying he would buy them all. When I got to the site he said I would drop him first and then he would pay me, but he didn't pay me. He went to ch1 fm to sell the APR.

    My heart goes out to you, but how do people still drop hundreds of apr only to get scammed? Just trade one invent at a time. Anyone willing to legitimately buy your apr wouldn't mind trading you for them.

    Err not to be a downer but I wouldn't do 9 by 9 trades for 300 apr. If the seller absolutely insisted sure it might be worth it to secure that volume of apr but 300 is a lot to get through.

    Sorry that happened though, I've probably traded a few thousand apr so far and never had this happen to me. Also tip for next time, it's better to take a video of the entire transaction with the entire client in view, so that you have the entire sequence of events recorded along with time marks. Best of luck next time and safe mapling~
