When somebody puts "NPC" as a religion in their RP, you know they're fucked.

Christians are a race #confirmed

I am okay with this.

@Raddum I read the bitch thread every new post, you really think I didn't know you were talking about me?

@Ammokkx You know as well as I do some of them needed a slightly more directed fuck you

@Ms Patoots Which slur? Because queer actually means strange or odd. And now that I think about it, fag is British slang for a cigarette.

yeah and the swastika is a symbol used by many others beyond the nazis but i'd still think twice tattooing it on my fucking forehead

Not naming any names, but I sometimes encounter people incorporating homophobic slurs into roleplay, either as something a character says, or simply in narration. And it immediately puts me off the roleplay. Even if they correct the usage once I point it out, I'm always left with that niggling doubt in the back of my mind. "Am I roleplaying with a homophobe." I don't like the idea of that, but i also hate the idea of dropping a roleplay due to personal differences. I don't know. I'm a confused mess about this and needed to vent, and maybe get some advice.

surtr already summed it up so i'll just follow it up by saying you sound stupid

that is entirely my own subjective analysis of what you just said but you just sound stupid, sorry

Homophobia is a relatively new concept and has really only popped up in the last few years. To expect the entire population of the world to change their views in order to respect a sexual orientation does not happen overnight, it takes generations and decades. You need to change people's mindsets and unfortunately it's not through the use of leaving a roleplay if you are not happy with someone—who you don't know—saying a few phrases that you are concerned about.

To give an example, I say fag and gay in my daily language, my manager at work says words like that, and we've had conversations with slurs and slang using an assortment of swear words. Not let me point out... My manager is a homosexual. 100% gay and even has the little quirks and giggles sometimes that show that he's got a real feminine persona, but he still uses a variety of "gay" associated words in his normal speech. (we are Australian btw, so swearing is almost like a passage of rite)

Personally, I wouldn't be ditching a roleplay so quickly because you have a hunch that someone may be a homophobe. You don't know them—just as they probably don't know you—and all you are doing instead is judging them before you have had a chance to know who they are. People are not one dimensional generalisations, they have multiple positives and negatives, a lifetime of experiences and being raised in a certain tradition by a certain family of whatever background. If you get to know them a bit more and they're still an ass, that's fine... But I would get to know them a bit more first.

Ideas die hard.

If they where easy to kill off we would have no Nazi, confederates, or others still running about and still dangerous. Even up to a Century or longer after Thete defeat.

*changing the subject while silently passing merciless judgement*

Noticed a familiar name creating a new RP here. I remembered it from being GM of something that died months ago because said GM dropped off the face of the earth despite having a nice handful of dedicated writers. Turns out said person has been back for almost a week now working on building a completely new RP.

Think I'm ever joining something of said person's ever again? Absolutely fucking not. I'm guilty of allowing an RP to die before it ever started ... but this person's RP had a dozen IC posts (300-400 words each at least) and then dead silence. Months of dead silence.

Yeah, ^ doesn't sound like promising credentials.

Considering that I wrote a new character specifically for the RP in question ... and I've attempted to use said character a total of four times now with zero successes, I'm exceptionally salted over it.

note that Mahz didn't say this and that it's a donald trump quote

This is basically RPGuild tho
