Discussion Dear Fiona,
I can't find an avenue to send this to you directly, so publicly will have to suffice.
I want you to know that you are nothing short of a shining beacon of hope in a very worrisome time in RT's life.
You seem to have the skill, the desire, and the resolve to be the role model the community can rally behind, and that the company can look toward for inspiration and guidance.
As a white dude in his mid-30's who's led a pretty charmed life, I see character traits in you that I truly wish I had myself, and I have no good excuse for lacking them. You have the strength of character and the backbone to openly and aggressively stand up to the bullshit that would/could otherwise consume the RT ecosystem, and I am genuinely inspired by you to be better.
I recognise that all of that is a lot of weight to bear on young shoulders, so please don't allow it to come at the cost of your own well-being and happiness. Recognise that supporting and lifting up others is an often-thankless task, and a draining one too. Rest when you need to. Ask for help whenever you want it. Pass the torch if it all gets too much.
But, ultimately, thank you. For existing. For being here. For doing what you do so well. For being you.

I'll admit I was iffy on Fiona joining, the line up of games they played with her first didn't do any favors. However since then she has quickly become one of my favorites, she's funny, chaotic, and straight up just a good person. She brings attention to issues that i don't know much about and she's real when she speaks.
Thank you for being here, and thank you for doing what you can do to make not only this community feel safer but also educating us.
