Things are getting weird in the batcord lately. Ever since joshiko pro blew up, there's been a flood of new people joining, and it’s completely shifted the vibe. The old guard, people who’ve been following bat since the krimbo days, are clearly not happy. They’ve always hated joshiko pro and what it represented, so now they’re watching their comfy, tight-knit server turn into a dumping ground for ex-corpo fans who have no idea who bat was before all this.
You can feel the tension constantly. Old fans are trying to keep conversations on track, preserve the original culture, but the new wave is loud, chaotic, and keeps dragging in outside drama. There’s zero sense of community anymore. Some of them didn’t even know bat had lore before the last model drop.
And bat? She’s stressed as hell. You can hear it in her voice on stream, way more reserved lately. She’s barely active in the discord now, and when she is, it’s super filtered. Deletes messages mid-typing, dodges topics. It’s like she doesn’t know how to handle the split. Mods aren’t helping either. Some are checked out, others are clearly picking sides. Whole thing feels like a slow implosion.
Wouldn't be surprised if she nukes the server and starts fresh at this point.
