inside you can't ask me to change myself dm says okay if you don't want to change your character how about i help you make a new one carl doesn't like that either he rejects every suggestion or offer of help and finally decides to pull his character out of the campaign when he makes this decision he also demands that his character be removed from the campaign by having the other players trick him into going to the market and then stealing his stuff and leaving town without him all of us are uncomfortable with that and we tell him so dm very smoothly puts carl on a bus in a much nicer way than he deserves and we continue to play this entire debacle prompts some of us to go through our private message history with carl we start comparing notes and discover that he's been talking shift about almost all of us behind our backs for years when one of us is succeeding without his help he hates it because he wants to be depended on hindsight is NUMBER_TOKEN and on the reread the manipulation and gaslighting really start jumping off the page i go back about three years in my message history and find a long forgotten conversation of carl telling me he's in love with dm and wants to serve her like a loyal knight which opens another whole can of worms we compare notes further and discover some nastier stuff carl has been role-playing his kink with almost everyone in our other discord servers without their knowledge or consent including minors i'm a nurse in real life and work with medically fragile infants carl would regularly ask me about work in a way that was plausibly friendly but looking back at it it became painfully apparent that he wanted to hear about baby stuff to feed his kink i was in am disgusted by this there's more but it's not worth going into here you get the gist at this point we all decide that we've had enough carl who had stayed in the game server as a spectator gets kicked we cut ties with him and kick and or ban him from all of our personal and emoji servers he changes his status to i still love you but thankfully never makes us think about it publicly we ended up going back through the campaign as a group and editing our posts to remove all reference to carl and his character the story is flowing nicely now with the party who are actually invested in the setting and plot and we're having a great time unfortunately to this day i don't think carl understands what he did wrong carl disrespected his friends he invaded their boundaries and forced his entire kink persona on them without their willingness or consent but this goes beyond just the kink carl has carl just sounds like a PROFANITY_TOKEN human being in general the gaslighting talking behind his friend's backs and i'm not even going to get into the stuff he was messaging to the original poster what about the kids she worked with ugh to the dmn players and to the original poster user plague of wasps i wish you the best in your campaign and the less carl the better thank you for tuning in to today's stories and once again a special thank you to apotheosis for sponsoring this video and once again if you'd like that special stat block and the magic item associated with
