It's enough of a demonstration that a fight was about to happen. Bobby enforces it by repeating what he values. This trap was to get Bobby enraged and create a scene. An old tactic in the book. Most people would ignore the situation and avoid it, which is a good idea...
But these were Bobby's friends... Although upsetting, he "knows" them, they aren't strangers. So he tried to improve their state of mind.
An argument with a liar is a lost cause since their goal is to stay on top of everyone and walk off with the most audacious self-pampering cheer.
Bobby shows Yellow that it's ok to have lied so far, he can cut the nonsense and be real with him. A clear line is drawn that Yellow must cross by admitting his lies. Yellow definitely knows that Bobby has figured the truth by now and is being very direct, yet still continues with lies.
Yellow also revealed a bit about his real life... So there is a gang of them and they oppress other people into accepting this racism.
If those people refuse to take it as a joke, the gang would quite likely use force. Bobby didn't chose the thug life... But he did climb out of it.
Red was flexing his Admin powers and began to overrule Bobby to do what they want. Red may have Admin powers however Bobby is the owner, and has Veto powers. Red and Yellow were immediately relieved of all their powers across all platforms. A firm punch for double-crossing.
That didn't stop Red... Instead tried to portray a bad image onto Bobby for punishing others who had similar trouble-making intentions.
Below is an example of those he "kicked/banned"...
Decisions are always made by Council.
The victim above identifies as a young black male. As mentioned, words aren't the problem, it's the context and emotions delivered with it.
Bobby is no fool. He saw exactly what was going on and decided to play their silly little mind games.
This innocent guy was among the community for merely a few days and was already being secluded.
An Officer (the highest rank) resigned because of a small talk with a random black person? That's how Bobby hits a nail on the head...
No matter how long Bobby has known someone, in this case has known the Officer for over 7 years, he still stood against him to do what is right.
For everyone who accused Bobby of harshly punishing his own Officer, the above speaks for itself of how he "maliciously used force".
The other cases were similar so no need to derail the topic. Bobby gave short answers to Red's accusations, remaining focused and centred.
Truth is on Bobby's side and his allegiance has been to Democracy. Had Bobby not intervened as a Commander against his own Officer, situations like the following example would probably have taken place...
Blue joins the open debate while Bobby was in the middle of closing up the argument. Respecting Blue's inquisition, and perhaps good to see
another Paragon join, he was given all the time he needed to catch up on what has happened.
17 minutes have passed before Blue wrote something unexpected.
