So, I am officially disappointed in some of the casual roleplayers in the interest check section. Below are two things said about a conversation I was having. Warning, this is mostly for me to vent about.

I don't see the actual goal of this conversation.
For the RP's sake - regardless of what Canon information has shown us - I don't think its that much of an issue if we considered Arrancar to be a race.

And for the rest of you, let's just shy away from the subject of Hollow/Arrancar being a race, it's whatever in the end.
I seriously don't understand how the discussion that links to creating a character sheet is pointless. Despite what they believe, it is essentially for us to talk about races. We can't sit around and say that a character like Kat isn't human because she doesn't match the physical characteristics of a human. She is still human just as an Arrancar is still a hollow. When basing a roleplay on a pre-created world such as the Bleach world, all cannon information needs to be considered. You can't just state that it doesn't matter if there is a difference and move on because this can effect a player's decision on what kind of character they want to play. Also, it is just bad GMing to state that a subject should be 'shied away from'. No subject relating to the roleplay should be shied away from because the player's input is the most important thing because I won't run a roleplay where the player hasn't provided input that could change the roleplay.
Just a few days ago(or weeks?) I had asked you guys how you would like to pass the time for traveling the week to the Spine. Your input told me that you wanted a fight so that you guys could size each other up. If we started a discussion on another topic, I wouldn't do the above by saying to drop it. Let the discussion continue even if it isn't on topic. If it is on topic, even better! If we wanted to start the discussion on the difference between a high elf and a wood elf, I would allow it and even provide my own input.
The point here I am trying to make is that no GM should ever tell possible players to shy away from a topic that relates to the roleplay itself. That is just a bad GMing in my eyes and should never be done. Sorry and thank you guys for hearing me out on this.
