Aware showing up unironically claiming in bold text that he has "never lied or misrepresented anything" and then wondering why people might think he's a liar. He talks about people crafting some fantasy version of him while they point to his own words describing what can only be described as a some kind of fantasy version of myself and I would be very curious indeed to hear exactly what "hard evidence" (your very next sentence on the subreddit was "I can only be persuaded by hard evidence") he's basing the below assessment on. Personally I do not consider made up personal assumptions as hard evidence. It definitely comes off as some form of racism to assume that a vocally anti-fascist Finnish person who has also been openly critical of Finland's role in the Continuation War as an axis-aligned invader must surely only be featuring Finnish swastikas on his one (1) Finnish plane because of Nazi sympathies, having met my fair share of people who genuinely believe that all Finns are Nazis because of WW2, presumably due to falling for fascist Russian propaganda that has pushed that narrative for years (which would explain why Finland gets this kind of treatment far more than Germany or any other actual former Axis power).
To add to the above screenshot a point I haven't raised before – the devs wouldn't distance themselves from me until we'd mutually distance ourselves from each other over completely unrelated drama literally years after the last Finnish Air Force swastika I had built (having built exactly two in total if we count all markings on a single plane as one, a plane that I very consciously excluded from the .brs I released publicly to avoid offending anyone, which everyone can go and confirm for themselves on the Discord by searching for my old WW1 plane pack), having remained at close terms with the developers for all the years until that point. Basically it is extremely safe to say that this is in fact not "one of the reasons the devs distanced themselves" and is instead just yet another false assumption Aware has made entirely on his own to then treat as fact.
Might as well also include this (pardon the resolution) as a reminder of another case of Aware straight up making shit up on a public server, this being part of what we reported to Brickbot, providing my full Discord chat history with Aware including the entire conversation he's referencing here as proof that he's knowingly lying about it. Moderation concluded it was a valid report and told us they issued Aware a warning for it (kind of contradicting the precedent they had just set that allegedly spreading misinformation should warrant a permanent ban without warning, but oh well).
"I have never lied or misrepresented anything" my ass.
You have a proven tendency of targeting people you don't like, attacking them with malice as we've seen you do here immediately with your clown remarks in your first post, having been proven to do so even in cases where you're basing everything on your own personal assumptions as definitive fact that later turned out to be completely false (as seen above for example), rarely owning up to it as we've just witnessed here with the lack of an apology. I can meanwhile confidently say I've never knowingly spread misinformation or lied about anyone, because I'm perfectly capable of recognizing that I cannot know about things I do not know about and that it is therefore entirely possible that there are things I've been mistaken about without realizing it, hence my efforts to contact the Brickadia team for clarification, which I remind you they're legally required to provide per GDPR in the EU at least in the form of providing me with the evidence they used to deliberate the ban decision on request (which they failed to provide, claiming they don't have it and then immediately shifting to "well actually the ban isn't about anything Rothary has actually said anyway", implying that the written ban reason was in fact a lie), so that I could maybe find out what misinformation it is that they think I've spread so I could maybe correct it and avoid spreading it in the future.
I'm also perfectly capable of reminding everyone that I have indeed been mistaken in the past (your reason for departing the Brickadia team, the one and only error you've actually pointed out and which we only made because Cake was under the impression you departed for the same reasons as he did and we had no reason to question that), as you kindly pointed out at the time, allowing me to apologize for the mistake and immediately correct the error and make sure that people also know about the correction to stop any further spread of the error. I'll happily welcome such corrections now and in the future as I've always done, such as you now kindly pointing out that you, as you now put it, describing yourself as manipulative was apparently just you joking around to piss people off, which I might add once again says a lot about you as a person. You may occasionally highlight very real relevant issues, but your openly toxic & aggressive personality and notorious tendency to treat your own assumptions as fact often far overshadows it, needlessly acting as a detriment to your credibility for no one's benefit, least of all yours.
If I have ever caused you distress by mistakenly spreading falsehoods about you, I am sorry for that and reiterate that I would never do so knowingly to anyone. Even from a purely practical point of view, lying would obviously just get called out, as we've done here, and would therefore be something I would be very consciously avoiding even if I for some reason wasn't already against the whole concept of it by basic morality.
And with that, I got some good ones as well:
Why would anyone think Aware is a liar?
Why would anyone think Aware is a manipulator?
Why would anyone think Aware a sociopath?
Why would Aware deflect all such accusations of him as fantasy despite having himself created this impression thanks to his trademark move of always assuming maximum malice from everyone and jumping to faulty conclusions and treating them as undeniable fact to then spread as what can only be described as slander or defamation as seen in the above screenshots, which by his own definition constitutes harassment?
Why would anyone bring up legal ramifications when faced with defamation?
Why would Aware claim he has never lied or misrepresented anything, despite the Brickadia moderator team claiming to have issued him a warning for doing just that after we reported him for it with proof of his lies as well as proof that he knows he's lying (unless he has an exceptionally selective memory and genuinely believes his own lies, despite being in possession of evidence disproving them)? Unless of course the team lied about having issued such a warning.
Why would Aware claim he has never lied or misrepresented anything, despite in the very next paragraph stating he did "jest" about being manipulative to in his words "rile you people up", just to then follow up with "framing that as me admitting to being a manipulator is a dishonest stretch"? The said "jest to rile you people up" being in a situation where he had the opportunity to possibly help clear things up and de-escalate through mediation, apparently having instead chosen to engage in what sounds like deliberate trolling, as I suppose we should've expected from him, given his past reputation as a moderator.
Does Aware genuinely not see the contradiction between first himself openly implying he has described himself as manipulative to piss people off and then claiming it is dishonest to claim he has ever described himself as manipulative?
Why would Aware ever care about this forum? (If it was to bring evidence to what he perhaps justifiably sees as a discussion missing vital information he could provide, then fair enough I guess, but the way he chose to present it expresses contempt towards the entire community here, in typical Aware fashion seemingly in a deliberate effort to sow discord instead of trying to be helpful, bringing us back to this question)
Why would Aware believe that being aggressive and condescending or even openly biased as a moderator is perfectly justifiable and professional as long as its done towards people "who deserve it", having thus been a major contributor to Brickadia moderation's reputation that (long after Aware's departure to be fair, though nothing having really changed since his time) reached a point where the team had to publicly acknowledge it and pledge to try to do better in the future – again – having already done just that in the past with even a certain other moderator strongly implying Aware had grossly misrepresented the situation at the time spreading false accusations, the said moderator strongly condemning it.
Why would anyone be untrusting of Aware after even the Brickadia team itself confirmed him as a liar who goes around spreading false claims about others with one moderator even having called it out and condemned it on their own accord in the past?
Why would Aware write that whole comment on a thread that contains evidence contradicting multiple of his claims in it, doing exactly what people accuse him of doing?
Could it be possible that Aware's reputation isn't based on what people say about him but rather on their first hand experiences of dealing with him combined with the way he conducts himself in public for all to see, while he brushes it all off as hate from people who he has taken justified action against (which to be fair some of it indeed is), rather than any of it being a reflection of himself?
