Last night someone I knew who was following the community response to Ion Maiden's release showed me this image on their official discord server where it shows one of the devs, Mblackwell, using the term SJW derrogitorially and is followed by another dev saying some "SJWs are fucking nuts". Here is the full list of developers according to the discord plus the aforementioned screenshot. Please note the moderator is not part of the dev team.



After learning this I tried to share this within the topics concerning Ion Maiden but it seems to have been largely ignored. I don't want potential scumbags to be supported and decided to dig further into their discord. Here I found that some of the devs appear to be transphobic, with one of the lead developers saying "yeah if you're trying to decide your child is trans at birth you have mental problems and probably shouldn't be a parent imo" as well as another developer stating that he doubts that they're nothing mentally wrong with people who are trans.



Y'all can search these up yourselves, the discord is public so finding context isn't hard and there isn't a single case where these people are mocking these kind of statements. I firmly believe these scumbags should be outed and should not be supported. Which sucks because Ion Fury features a lead female hero with a badass design. By reaching out to 3D realms it may be possible to remove these individuals and make sure they don't infect other projects.



I will also showcase other things I've found in the following 2 posts.
