In your eyes: whats racism in PS? hmr
« on: March 12, 2007, 10:05:59 am »
For starters Im going to ask, do words like "fenki" or "menki" offend you? Many would probably say no, why? because all it means is woman enkiduai and man enkiduai, nothing more. No racism. Apparently people dont understand someone will call you what race you are if they dont know your name because tags are not IC. I called a enkiduai fenki IC and her and a friend took it offensively, saying racism in intollerable, that I will die, all i did was counter all their arguments and gave an example of dwarvesbane. Shut em up real fast.
Alot of players are fast to angry words of honor and respect. They always want a fight. Except many dont have a real reason through their roleplay. Use common sense on them and they go on about their honor, I'd rather save my hide and log off. To the point, many people dont seem what to comprehend what are stereotypes. Why? Should we give them a manual? NO. They need to use their common sense, apply real life issues and figure it out. Im tired of explaining over and over and receiving a "Oh I didnt know ;)". Ill say well have fun being ignored buddy. I dont care about jokes OOC or whatever, but im tired of getting attacked for misunderstandings about common practices, words etc.
We all know ylians have the package, the looks, the brain, pretty much all of it, I feel guilty.

menki...fenki... discussion.....: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26801.0

Racism would be one race hating another race.   Characters can be distasteful of certain other races, tis fine, but claiming an entire race hates another one is not.

I find this thread highly unusual... sorry... but racism in ps... would really only be affected IC'ly. OOC jokes about pointy ears calling it racism is just retarded, unless you're mentally ill and think you are an elf.

Racism would be calling black people niggas. But that belongs in the hydlaa plaza. And since racism isn't tolerated by the rules it will be locked.

Requesting lock as there's allready a thread on racism IC'ly

I think what he's saying is, he's tired of people just inventing reasons to be offended IC.

Somebody just feels like RPing an offended person, so they just pounce on the first thing they perceive as 'racist', even though it isn't actually (like the word fenki). Then you have to OOCly explain to them why their character shouldn't be offended by that just to avoid a duel...

Diaboli are a happy, bustling, malicious race, quite unreliable. Humility is completely foreign concept to them. Their familiarity with some of the semi-intelligent races that dwell in the Stone Labyrinths has raised suspicion with the other races.

With such description, at least some small form of prejudice will exist against Diaboli.

My character does not know racism (like it is stated in the settings) ... he doesn't understand how one race bands together and finds others inferior and he thinks that all who do act that way are not quite well in their heads. Thus they'll be treated with a mild neglect or with an iron fist, depending on which works best :P

Racism should not exist ... but apparently it's so prominent in humanity that this seems impossible to do. Shame on us all!
