Not to burst anyone's bubbles or anything since this seems like a legit discussion, but just a note. Most discussion threads such as this are only really useful if they actually have the potential to change something.
I'm a realist, and it doesn't really matter how long your post is or how many good examples you gave. Current discovery politics simply will -not- change, not everyone looks at disco roleplay as something hardcore and extremely realistic and simply don't care. Others, like myself, do. But the fact is, it's not really up for debate, people can and -will- do whatever they like.
No amount of debating will change that. Just putting that out there.
