According to the article the community is actually pretty welcoming in general, there's just outlier assholes like in anything with millions of people. I'm not a player myself, so I'm just quoting the article

Kidnappings at schools in Nigeria were first carried out by jihadist group Boko Haram, who seized more than 200 students from a girls' school in Chibok in Borno state a decade ago. But the tactic has since been adopted by criminal gangs without any ideological affiliation seeking ransom payments, according to authorities.

Child soldiers never actually left

For a moment I thought it was a pokemon joke, then I realised it's an actual legit concern.

It's a great thing from a technological perspective. Having more than one development group will drive innovation.

They basically wrecked the company, trying to fight the union

Which is exactly how things should go

The title is clickbait, but the article itself is worth a read

You're not wrong, but realistically, there's no chance of it happening.

the children that are around get to have a future!

I'd love that, but the concern is that society collapses from the sudden top heavy population ratio that we've never had to deal with and are unprepared for. The kids won't have much of a future if that happens

Funnily, I understood that. There's been a theory that our current obesity epidemic is caused by an environmental factor influencing our brains into targeting a higher ideal weight than it otherwise should. This is the 'switch' the title is referring to, and they've presumably discovered its existence and a way to influence it. Of course, there might be more than one...

I agreed with you before reading the article, but it turns out it's on private property. So no transport infrastructure, and the property owners would have had to shell out a while bunch from their own pockets to do anything.

They also tried putting up signs and hoping visitors would self regulate, but that obviously didn't work out. Hard to blame anybody except selfish assholes in this case.
