milquetoast globohomo attitudes are very appealing to undersocialized people with poor social skills because it allows you to completely offload your morality. you dont have to decide whether you're acting ethically or not, you just have to follow a short list of explicit rules. i think that people confuse that for autism, because when you squint your eyes they look similar. except this nigga is in a community management position that assumedly requires communicating with dozens of people daily, this guy doesn't get the benefit of the doubti'm no longer confident in my read on him but i think it's just a bit of the 'tism, he's always been a quirky weirdo but he seems the innocent sort of weirdo to me. he plays classical music, he's part of an orchestra in cambridge, and when you see him in his suit with his violin he doesn't actually look like a weirdo to me like he does in normal clothes—he just looks like a fat classical music nerd. idk, you be the judge.
not having any discretion and deflecting to higher ups used to be the best trait you could have for someone in a management position. the problem is that nowadays toeing the line earns you extra scrutiny instead of less scrutiny, and that's the worst possible scenario for someone who struggles to make decisions with negative feedback. i am certain that mod ash has not had very many confrontations or arguments in his 20 years working at jagex that would have given him the skills and the discretion necessary to deal with the modern internet
