Ok...
First of all i have to say is yes, this community is extremely strong and self sufficient. When the earth2025 was coming to an end the individuals who were long time players since young teenagers stayed together and continued to play the game on the clone version. This alone should help in a long standoff with media and critics alike trying to associate this game with the reason a person who went on a killing spree.
The majority of the players are no longer mid-late teens who get "pissy" when something is said and now actually take the time to review, understand and put together a reasonable response.
As for the media.. There job is to create ways to bring in viewers, and if that means taking comments like someone should become a stripper and twisting it to bring in ratings then thats what they are going to do.
Personally i believe this community has done wonderful things for many different people across the world. There were times when even myself was having hard times emotionally and people were there to help me through it. Even to this day I still talk to and visit other eathers and they have become long standing friends who are still there to help when needed.
So i guess to finish the rambling i just have to say to stay strong and try your best to not let the media paint this game with blood.
