Discord banning people who aren’t even pedos while the real pedos host karaoke in public servers is peak digital clown show. The mods spin in circles, the code eats itself, and everyone claps like this isn’t the dumbest apocalypse ever written.

Remember Trump telling how extremely safe Washington DC was now..... Ofcourse he was lying.
