As the title suggests, take caution. Recently, Kyle Kashuv, survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, was admitted into Harvard, but his acceptance was rescinded when the admissions committee received a document that showed Kyle, at the age of 16, wrote callous and inflammatory remarks (i.e. the n-word) on a private google document his "friends" had access to. Kyle is only 18, and his future is ruined. As a young adult, this has got me thinking about my future career. The sheer amount racial slurs, antisemitic and misogynistic remarks that I've said online spans at least 10 years of my life, and I'm scared. I have spammed the n-word repeatedly and everywhere, including on many private google documents that I pray all of my friends have lost. Obviously we write these sorts of things just for the "shock" effect it has on others, and we change. What those kids did was not right. As we move on in our lives, and especially as AtWar fades away, I urge you all to go through your YouTube comments, delete them all, and erase your name from the internet, or you will end up like Kyle. Your "friends" could potentially black mail you and ruin your life for good.

Yeah, the entire thing was politically motivated without a doubt. Kyle is a pro-gun advocate and self-declared conservative. Harvard just needed a reason to rescind their decision, and they got it.

So after reading this, I actually looked up the kid, and well, I laughed my fucking ass off. Well fucking deserved. He resembles most aw players, aw won't ruin your life though. As for this Kyle kid, his life isn't exactly "ruined", if he was rich enough to consider attending Harvard he will be fine, Harvard isn't a special school, it's just a name brand for rich children. All universities teach the same thing. Nah atWar isn't fading away, we just got a new mod to help the mod team moderate the 200+ daily players we have, they were struggling.

There is no place for racism at Harvard okay? (unless you mean racism against Asians)

Kyle's mistake was saying racist things with his real life name attached to it, as well as letting people he knows in real life having access to the Google document and seeing it for themselves. I remember during the early 2010's that it was okay to be edgy, how Twitter wasn't a safe space and people just said what was on their mind, including racist stuff. But there has been a cultural change, especially since the 2016 presidential elections, and now everything is politically correct. I find it funny how whenever someone randomly blows up and become viral, a news article always pops up a few days later exposing that person for their 'racist' and 'insensitive' tweets they made years ago, it always happens to big Youtubers and viral people. Always. As for atWar, many of us do not know each other that well, we're technically 'anonymous' in terms of identity. If one of us was to run for President for the USA or any country we would never know they shit talked on atWar unless they specifically say 'I was *insert username* on atWar', but I'm sure they would never do this (and why would they??), so as long as you keep your identity to yourself and just use online aliases, then you're fine.
