The issue with Discord servers, is that they are inherently an echo chamber. Few people, much less players, join a game's server. And of those, even fewer choose to actively participate. Just like you and me. This is conductive to the formation of cliques; small groups of people that acquire excessive amounts of influence and decision-making capabilities.
And how does this happen? Simple. Most people that are active on a Discord server tend to be of a certain type. Socially maladjusted, introvert, with autistic characteristics. It may seem like a stereotype, but it's the truth. A developer that spends their time on their Discord server, also belongs to this type. So he surrounds himself with people similar to him. And these people, go from fans to acquaintances. They form parasocial relationships and bonds with the developer. And thus, the capability to influence him. Which they have, undoubtedly. It has been previously mentioned, but the sudden 180ยบ change in opinion Lys made regarding the conquest mode wasn't natural. It was the constant badgering by this clique of hardcore mp players to scrap it, and focus exclusively on the competitive multiplayer.
When we mention troons, it is because not only the developer is one, but several of the clique members as well. Since you are in the server, you can check it out yourself, and see how many of the regulars have transitioned. I will admit one thing though: being a tranny is incidental to this whole mess. They aren't Discord obsessed sweatlords because they are troons, they are troons because they are Discord obsessed sweatlords. It's the personality type that drives them to transition.
