I was going to stop TO’ing after covid passed, but there needs to be a complete restructuring of the space.
There’s so much work that needs to be put in to make it safe(r) for everyone. I don’t want this to remain cyclical.
as far as I'm aware, our local community was never impacted by anything like this. but that's not because of anything I ever did as a TO to safeguard vulnerable members. we've just been lucky. I'm really thinking hard about what preventative changes we should implement
thank you to all the victims who are bravely coming forward with your experiences. this is a painful but necessary moment.
from what I've seen from the Melee community, the victims have mostly been met with support, which is encouraging. we've come a long way in that respect
