Essentially, don't play their game.
As for WB, the fact our water sits at a reasonable level and isn't at like 250 is proof enough.
This is generally true but a misrepresentation of this specific situation.
Whether he realizes it or not, misa's tenure in the public Discord chat was basically a circus act. Most of the active posters there didn't particularly like him but did enjoy messing with him or were at least entertained by his antics. Even with the generally anti-WB sentiment there the average user still wanted him to stay since they always want a... punching bag? "lolcow"? His continued existence there both made it easier to breed popular dislike for whatever bay (so served faction politics) and gave the trolls an easy target for daily trolling which is treated like a gold mine there.
Note also the Unofficial Haven Discord mods are generally pretty lax, nobody tends to get banned for any reason.
However after this situation broke nobody was laughing and he was immediately banned. Because, y'know, kinda stops being funny video game banter when real-world harm is involved. I don't know that I could stomach associating with someone like that.
I know about the situation. I just have conflicting opinions about local legality and whether or not somebody can make an informed decision any better at 16, 18, or 20. It took me personally until 25 before I stopped being such a fucking idiot.
I wasn't there, I don't know the people, I don't live in the country, and frankly, it has nothing to do with me, but I think Misa is an alright guy who's not afraid to speak his mind, and regardless of how you feel about his opinions, that's based as fuck and that takes balls.
