I fully support the arrest, those are serious threats and they should be met with serious consequences.

It’s still weird to me that it was done in a classroom though. I understand the intent of “sending a strong message” but idk if I like it all that much. They could’ve arrested him at his home and forgo this whole performative stunt.

When I was in high school someone in my class did some highly fucked up shit and got in very serious legal trouble for it (and we never saw him at the school again). After he was expelled/arrested, we just had a very long talk in class about what he did and why it was so serious and wrong, and it was effective, it’s one of few things I remember from high school now actually lol. We didn’t need to have the police show up to scare us into not doing it, at least I didn’t, idk how effective it was on everyone else.

Not sure how I feel about that.

I can’t see the problem.

Yikes… That’s fucking gross.
Hopefully there’s some kind of backlash from chess players and community figures, this is absolutely vile.

Honestly lately I’m kinda just losing hope in humanity, and wondering if LGBT folks will ever be accepted in society. Seeing what little progress we acquired over the past century or so be undone so easily is crushing.

Fuck FIDE, fuck Russia, and fuck all the ignorant, hateful bigots that keep fighting against people’s very right to exist.

They’re definitely gonna go after the wayback machine next, because what use is there in controlling social media and deleting what bothers them, if there’s freely accessible records of it somewhere else?

I thought E3 died a couple years ago already?
