Well this isn't what I expected to see right before heading out for a girls night

...Well if saying I find something really disturbing (futanari actually makes me feel very ill even thinking about it) is "ganging up" then fuck it. Dropping out, I guess. Can't be bothered putting up with your passive aggressive bullshit anymore.Honestly have no idea why you don't see the problem of , but I give up. Sorry.Also intersex exists and I have no problem with it. Just it doesn't work like that at all, so playing the "but it's totally real!" card in defence is just bullshit.
Please don't drop out, Rin. Obviously I can't force you to stay, but I'd really like it if you stayed. We all love you!
Okay, now to the elephant in the room.
So I don't know what the original problem was, but I can infer based on the responses following the posting of the character.

Lol sorry, I wanted to create a unique character with an emotional back story. I shall edit it to something less extreme.
There's a fine line here. I welcome unique characters. Unique is good. But if someone is unique because of a physical reason, I'm less inclined to get invested. It's far too easy for people to have a physical reason (be it handicap, obvious scar, genitalia, etc) be the defining point of their character rather than just having the trait be a part of their character. One can be unique and emotional without resorting to something 'extreme'. Had I been here when this whole thing started, I would have asked you to change that, not because I'm intolerant (far from it), but because it wouldn't fit in the overall theme/point of the RP.

I was thinking people fine with yuri would be more open to other things, but oh well. But I didn't see that part of the sheet so cannot say how it was handled.

It's honestly kind of shocking how fast you pounced and judged and were unneased by the gender of a FICTIONAL character. The character wasn't even real and you all jumped on it like it were some kind of freaky monster. I would hate to find out how you reacted if it were a REAL human being. Because it is a REAL genetic disorder affecting REAL people.
I don't think this is fair. It seems like less an issue of them being intolerant/freaked by genetic disorder and more of them not wanting a futanari in the RP. I don't have the full context here, but I'm working off of context clues. I think it's safe to say that none of us here have a problem with intersex people.

Passive-aggressiveness is way better than active-aggressiveness :P
I know this is a joke, but no. Oh my god passive aggressive is the worst shit.

...I'm disturbed by a completely fictional condition, not the real thing that's nothing like it.Saying I'm intolerant because of that would be like accusing someone of being racist against elves. : |
No one would blame you for that. Elves are the worst.
Sorry. Trying to add levity.

The original description was nothing like the real life condition, it was much more like a certain fetish which makes multiple people here including myself uncomfortable.No-one here is being intolerant of anything that actually exists in real life. And if no-one says they feel uncomfortable, how will the GM know they do?There's no reason for anyone to be calling people out for being intolerant of real-life conditions.
While I'm not personally uncomfortable with said fetish (though I'll never actively seek it out or watch/read it), the last sentence here is true. No one here's intolerant (except towards elves).

@Fabricant: Sorry my character brought so much drama to your thread. If you noticed I have already deleted all the upsetting information.
I have no choice but to accept the apology (though I likely would've done so even with the full information, I'm nice like that). Let's all try to get along here. Let's not be passive-aggressive towards people. Let's not start calling people intolerant.
Here's the thing. No one's anti-intersex irl. Or at least I hope not, and if you are, I'm not one to judge. I might not agree with you, but I have friends who don't agree with some of the things I do, and we get along in spite of that. And I'm sure you had nothing but good intentions, Tigre. But this RP really isn't the best place for a hermaphroditic character. This RP is more meant to just be an easy-going daily life thing revolving around the world of girls' love. Nothing super heavy, apart from the petting.
If this makes me sound intolerant, so be it, but this RP has a staunch 'no dicks' clause. That goes for attitudes and for what's between the legs.
