[Lost Cause]

Any response to the issues I raised?

[Professor_Wyvern]

So, since it looked like DuthGuy bowed out, am I in?

The Gokaigers probably had some of the same things going on, they just hid them or simply didn't talk about them. I don't see why the sex slavery thing or even drugs should affect the main plot. I doubt any Rated R material will be going on in the RP. Just a way to flesh out a character I suppose ^^

You do realise we're talking about a show aimed at children here?

[Jerkchicken]

IC up when?

[Hydra]

True it is a show aimed at children but this is Japan we are talking about their censorship is a lot different then most of the world. I have watched the show and they show people getting killed left and right. But I did send her a message and we will see what comes of it.

IC is not up yet cause we need to take care of this first. Cause if we lose Yellow or Pink then we will need to replace.

Honestly, is it so serious that she needs to change up her CS? It is a show aimed at children in America, but Hydra didn't call it Super Megaforce or whatever, its called Gokaiger; albeit with some odd mixture of English translation and Japanese originality lol.

I don't think its that big of a deal, most of our characters are old enough for it.

It's a show aimed at children in Japan too. It aired as part of the Bandai-sponsored "Nichi Asa Kizzu Taimu / Sunday Morning Kids Time" block, alongside shows like Suite Pretty Cure♪. So yes, while there are mature things in it, and on Japanese TV you can get away with having death in a kids show, I think having a character being a former sex slave is more than a little bit too heavy for something based on a thing that is, at heart, a TV show aimed at selling toys to children.

Did you seriously just say a show where people in brightly coloured costumes beat up people in rubber monster suits using plastic weapons is meant to be some super serious and gritty thing for adults?

Even so it doesn't change the fact that this isn't going to be seen by too many unprepared children and as I said before, I don't believe its going to be a central part of the RP. Its just a CS, a form to give insight into the character's background and such. Everything is fine ^^

[Jerkchicken]

What about Garo?

It's a mature and sophisticated Toku show, for mature people such as myself

Also the CHARijuana crack thing while hilarious is dumb and very much doesn't match the tone of the show and our characters

Lol sorta. What I was trying to get across was that the specific subjects pointed out would be fine for this RP setting.

[Jerkchicken]

There's a time and place for things. But a silly spandex show that's an anniversary celebration for being on air for decades is not one of those things

None of us have the right to bag or question another's creativity, it seems to me like he/she was just adding a bit of reality to the show. Hydra had no problem with it so I see no reason for the rest of us to. In the grand scheme of things its up to the Pirate King, so lets all get ready to enjoy this wonderful and magical RP ^^. I can't wait to Gokai Change! by the way.

Because when I think of a show that has giant robots, aliens, space pirates and the like in it, the first thing I think is "this needs GRIMDARK realism".

[Professor_Wyvern]

That would be called 40k.

Will all think differently my friend. Embrace the creativity, don't push it away :)

Because taking characters from Space Pirate Captain Harlock and changing the names a bit is creativity?

Yeesh lol. I have no words for that one,

[Jerkchicken]

Speaking of grimderp toku I might be jonesing to run something like Garo
