it is really sad. it was so bad the server owner literally had to tell them to shut up about it bc it was making everyone extremely uncomfortable and concerned for the cat's QOL and safety.
You all claim they have neglected their cat when they were a new cat owner at the time and worked a pretty stressful job as well?
They were more overwhelmed than neglecting their cat at the beginning. Their cat is still with them and gets care from them. I can only say this as someone who saw recent updates of their cat.
I am not going to condone all of their vents, but there can be frustrations when you try your best at something new and try to make everything work best for both you and your pet.
i'm not going to pretend i know their life or the circumstances that landed the cat in their care, nor do i want to accidentally lecture you since the cat isn't yours, but it doesn't sound from your description that they were properly prepared (or in a mentally healthy situation) beforehand for the responsibility of caring for a separate life entirely reliant on them if they were overwhelmed from the start so badly that big groups of people assumed it was neglectful from their own words.
Plus, they did not have a stressful job, they had a very standard emails job they made out to be the worst thing in the world while being insanely racist to their Korean coworkers. They neglected that cat in a way that was not acceptable. And they didn't give up the cat because they have an ego bigger than the sun that says they're the biggest victim in the world, ever, so anything that justifies that must stay in their life.
It's been long enough that I no longer have specifics, but the gist of it is that they found their Korean coworkers rigid, bossy, and ignorant as a general rule, and would complain about it all the time in a way that indicated they thought we'd agree with them that this was just how Koreans were.
Look, I agree they are annoying but claiming they are racist is super weird. From what I know their coworkers were not Korean but their Boss was, and he would delegate all stuff, company related or private, to TheUltimateOwl and their coworker because he did not speak a lick of the local language after being in the country for more than 15 years and they lamented that he would refuse to learn the language. All the comments you mentioned were directed at their Boss and not any coworker. And I would know, I had the misfortune of hanging around them for a while in one of my friends' servers. Never again.
Also because it was mentioned earlier: I do not think people understand that standard Email Answering jobs or secretary work is different from the US to where TheUltimateOwl lives. I know from friends that also live there that a secretary job is often three to five jobs bundled into one and you get paid a fraction of what surrounding countries get, for basically triple the workload.

anon. do you hear this. you know about xenophobia right.
atp I'm going to assume anon is Owl trying to defend themself and shrug. I was there. I saw what they said. I saw how horrible they were to their friends, their coworkers, anyone not white and Hungarian, anyone who was a single parent, etc. I know what I saw. Owl, if you're reading this, there is a reason why so many people hate you.
