Y’all clearly don’t understand that creative freedom is the freedom to create what one wants because they like it. Trends start because a bunch of people all like the same thing. Nobody who built a Bat was pressured into doing so. I’m fact, the bat brigade was pressured to stop making bats, hence lowering creative freedom.
Edit: I see now that this post was a little premature, but still.
Also I just wanna say that killing a trend doesn’t really work all that well, because as I’ve previously mentioned, a trend can go on even if the creator of it stops doing the trend, as we saw throughout the week.
Finally, the treaty was shaky at best anyway, seeing as every time a new bat popped up that was made by someone not even affiliated with the bat brigade (at the time), the MMCC would go ballistic and say that we’d broken the treaty, and we’d have to calm the situation. I for one got tired of trying to explain why it wasn’t a break in the treaty every time it happened. Point being, if one more unaffiliated bat popped up, the war probably would’ve been on again anyway, regardless of what we wanted.
