KLM/CLM Protests (2020-present)



The Koe Lives Matter (KLM) and Conq Lives Matter (CLM) movements were a pair of protests started by Koe and Conquerus against what they perceived as systematic discrimination against them by members of GS.

Origin
The KLM/CLM protests largely originated during and following the aftermath of July Bannings due to accusations of homophobia and racism Conq and Koe's ban was rescinded over the course of several months, but the two always asserted that they had never been racist or homophobic, and that they were treated unfairly. Conq in particular was heavily motivated by his experiences during following his presidential promise, where an attempt to ban him on the basis of a joke about the n-word failed. It is universally agreed that Conq's treatment during this incident was not motivated by legitimate intentions, but was due largely personal. Furthermore, Conq believed that he was punished far more frequently, and more harshly, for breaking certain rules compared to other members. Koe's main motivation was also his experience of being wrongly painted as homophobic and racist, but also the general way that other members treated him and Koe, namely the two as idiots or racists.

Critical GS Theory
After some time, the movement led to a ironic new theory by the two that purported that the reason behind their 'persecution' is largely due to their incredibly high IQs in comparison to the rest of GS (excluding Chegg, both cacti and Gest) causing great fear among the rest of GS. To a degree, this was a sort of counter against the two's perception that the rest of the community looked down on them. This new thought process led to a new theory in the form of Critical GS Theory.

Cheggstaffel Incident
The KLM/CLM protests died out on the 28th of November, 2021 after the Cheggstaffel Incident, following which Conq was banned from Civ 7, and Koe renounced the movement.
