Reasonable takes now considered trolling. More news at 11.
I say, leave them alone. It's probably the closest thing to a nightclub they'll experience.
Fun story: I went to a Gothic Nightclub that is...somewhere in Phoenix. I don't remember exactly since this is like a decade ago. However it wasn't my scene by my GF at the time insisted we go. So we get there and she is dancing and I'm sitting on the couch. So one guy comes in and starts dancing with his Lt. Worf Action Figure. That dude has good tastes in dance partners.
However later on in the night a group of about 6 dudes come in wearing Nun outfits and their hair/beards colored blue. I talked with them a bit and they were pretty chill dudes.
Prior to Covid, there was a bit more variety in venues. Libraries, cafes, nightclubs, taverns, adventurer guilds etc.
With lockdowns, nightclubs exploded in popularity and the RP scene has never really tipped back to that equilibrium. The reason they got so popular during Covid was because of the social aspect. You could emulate doing things nobody could do anymore. People were taking their IRL friends to these virtual clubs because they couldn't do so in reality anymore. People were cracking open beers while chatting, dancing and partying in the clubs. The DJ thing started because of Covid. People wanted to interact with a DJ like in the clubs they went to IRL, so they would open twitch and make requests. Now as Lockdowns abated, most of these clubs started losing popularity because the social aspect was the primary reason they went and they could get that talking to people out in the real world and going to actual nightclubs and bars again.
And now they remain dominate in the venue scene for a myriad of reasons. Trend chasing, ERP services, RMT services, Glamor contests etc.
I miss the Libraries and Cafes because I could actually go to them. Everyone bans Lalas from Nightclubs because they're all ERP hubs.
Idk I really think if a few lines of text bothers you that much, there might be some other subconcious issue.
I'm too busy saving money on my car insurance by switching to geico, to worry about night clubs.
In all seriousness, the spam can be annoying at times but I just ignore it. That whole aspect of the game isn't something that has ever appealed to me.
