The main crew associated with this movement is [[The Asylum]] (TAS), which contains most of the server's veterans from the 2014-16 era who are not too mad about pvp, but wish to keep the server a toxic-free and friendly environment. [[Cysteen]] has long been the main advocate for this, and several of her suggestions have been acted on by staff in order to curb levels of toxicity.

Along with [[Conervatism]], [[Cysteenism]] lies more or less in the middle of the pvp/no-pvp spectrum, largely only advocating for better moderation as opposed to changes in levels of pvp.

The main criticism of Cysteenism is that it is too strict and that features already exist in-game to reduce the amount of toxic chat you need to read, such as blocking players. Players from the more pvp orientated agenda regularly argue that people who follow [[Cysteenism]] are driven by 'hurt feelings' and 'butthurt' about comments or attitudes in chat. They have also criticised staff members for being too aligned to [[Cysteenism]], making them 'TAS/Cysteen pets' and accusing staff of subsequent bias against non-TAS members. Staff members have repeatedly said that this is not the case; arguing that any rule changes originating from TAS suggestions are due to the overall improvement they would make to Piratecraft, as opposed to being blindly driven by this group of players.

The other big criticism comes from the other side of the spectrum; those who believe Cysteenism policies aren't tackling the problem at its roots; namely too much freedom when it comes to pvp. A lot of drama and all these issues could be prevented by introducing new rules or disabling certain aspects and freedoms of pvp, essentially removing the 'toxic' players from PMC altogether.
