My fellow B.net community members,
I am shocked and appalled at the blatant racism that seems to have flooded a popular 'Community Hangout' on this site. The upper echelons of leadership in The Wayward have gone out of their way to sling hurtful racial slurs at the members of our community with a darker skin complexion.
I could quote the founder himself saying that his use of n***** is acceptable both socially and privately but I don't need to. Instead, I will post picture evidence from people who also believe this to be an alarming issue. Shortly after this announcement, he proceeded to ban everyone who either was of that particular skin persuasion or anyone who called out said Founder.
I can't understand how such a blatantly, and openly, racist person can hold a position of leadership in a group that is meant to represent the community.
Community Managers, Ninjas, please make an effort in looking into this situation. Aside from the CoC for the site being broken, I myself and many of my friends are devastated by this news and bigotry. As people who were banned or discriminated against, we will not accept inaction.
For those of you who have been affected by the Founder's bigotry, please post his direct quotes below.

Edit: so it would seem that the defender's stance is such that it's okay to be racist as long as you're not insulting a video game or its players. His stance is such that it's okay to use hurtful language and discriminate against a people with skin color different from his as long as he feels good about his video games. Good to know. It's time for justice!
