Socktroversy

The Socktroversy was a major event that occurred in GS4 on the 31st of January, 2020 regarding Socks and the content that he would post in GS.

Background
Socks was an individual with some incredibly...niche tastes. To say it shortly, he was a neonazi who would espouse some incredibly right-wing beliefs, while softly arguing for things like ethnic cleansing and eugenics. Snoopycarrot was also a part of this controversy as he had some fairly right-wing beliefs as well, although his beliefs were not nearly as far-right as Socks' beliefs. He had also gotten into heated arguments with other members (mainly Pat and Sharky) over his claims that transgender people were the root cause of most problems in the world.

Debates
Whenever members attempted to debate Socks, he generally acted in an extremely evasive manner yet pseudointellectual manner, arguing that trans people should be ostracised in society, justifying himself with "you guys wouldn't understand me but trust me". This went back and forth very often until several members harassed him into finally sending them actual arguments, which were just generic arguments against trans people but with the added argument that transgender people were corporate pawns or something. Everyone gave up eventually because it was so stupid.

Due to the fact that his opinions were incredibly polarising and just brought frustration to anybody who tried to argue with him, he was given explicit warnings by the admin staff to not start any debates.

Main event
The situation came to a peak when Arion, Pat and Sharky left GS, citing Sock's beliefs as incredibly offensive to them, due to all three of them being LGBT. This all followed an argument that Socks had with them and a few other members of GS about trans people or something, which he had been explicitly told not to do by head admins. Snoopy had also said some questionable things in the past. Eventually Chegg got sick of it and banned Snoopy and Socks. While Snoopy would eventually return in GS6 and cause no issues, Socks remained banned forever.

2nd coming
In late-2020, several members of GS stumbled upon Socks in a Napoleonic discord RP server. After several brief interactions, they all came to the conclusion that he was probably worse than when he was banned. Despite this, he attempted to convince head admins of GS to allow him into GS8, which failed. He also sent a puppet into the server to try and act pseudointellectual about his ban in a similar way that he acted when talking about supporting transgender apartheid. He was promptly banned and was never seen again. His discord account, unsurprisingly, was deleted at some point afterwards.
