it’s tranny discord drama. they doxxed the &amp best of editor and a bunch of unreal contributors, plus some girl who apparently was somehow involved? it would take years to explain all of the discord faggotry that lead to it but it seems like the one of the unreal hosts left because of someone trolling the server and now he’s gone rogue and wants revenge

Krake, Rhyme and L.A are all MIA.
Krake got out the second the doxing shit happened. He was not involved in any drama and when it came out what they were doing he called them all discord trannies and left.
Rhyme and L.A were actively involved in the doxing and have only gone radio silent because they can see /lit/ is turning on them.
Only guy left is Miles, but Miles doesn't know how to do anything.
