Why does everyone want racism so badly?
What they really want is Racism without consequences, namely the Octarchy descending on them like a ton of bricks and handing out True Death penalties.

I think,  multi-cultural world like YLiakum have or had multikultural problems. Also he history mentioned it, for example the Ylian-Enkidukai conflict. An Enki who lost his parents or their farm and lifestyle because the Ylians build giant cities on the free hunt land doesn't like Ylan much, (AT least i used this in  story once).
Of course we haven't call that all racism, but predjuices is a logical fact under 12 complet different races, especiall if soem have prefered cittis. For example, my Character Gohra grew up in a kran-only mining colony and never met any others before he came to hydlaa. So, he has no respect of different way of life. Especially a rivalism with dwarves is part of his background. But he is no racism because leading the Order o Light and learned to live with the others together in time.

What i asked were facts about interacial family problems, mix children often are under descission to follow the way of one parent and these can be different. For my short story i decided to use the Ynnwn version. The femlale borns a black skinned Diaboli and the dermorian father finds out that she betrayed him with a Diaboli lifeguard of his house. So he's unsure who's his children and finally he sent the young boy away, who grows up alone. Years later he's a head hunter without family, withou love in his heart. One day he gets a mission to kill a beautiful dermoian girl. He's on his way, what he doesn't know is it's his half-sister, an there the story begins...


Now i have he answers, if this is possible but i like this discussion, it's an interesting theme.

Thats not true at all. I'm saying that if there is a law against it with high punishment it should be obvious that it exists.

That lawenforcement is a problem and therefor RPs could get out of hand is a different matter.

Obvious that it existed and has been stamped out.

This whole "there is no racism" is something I have to say lacks realism seeing how the world is build.

It's only because you don't have the full picture yet, when all is revealed then to be racist in game will be the attitude that lacks realism. Instead of saying this lacks realism or that isn't like that in RL use some imagination and work with what has been released.

I'm sorry Mord, you know I like you, but that is just stupid. Tell an actor to play a touching love scene while laughing and drowning a cat and he'll ask you why he should. Same with rpers.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

I thought the reason there was lack of racism is because everyone is too worried about crap coming out of the Stone Labyrinths?

Hehe I don't mind being called stupid, how about a different analogy. Direct an actor who is already aware from earlier acts that theft is illegal, not to steal something even if his character wants to.

This thread veered off topic.

You can pick apart our reasons for the law and the in game enforcement against racism when that material is published.

I can't imagine this discussion being fruitful until those resources are there to be dismantled.

I'm wondering why you are saying it like this. I never said it was unrealistic that the octachs are supressing it and perhaps are merciless in hunting it down.

These are simple discusions on what is possible given the facts already ingame and how to deal with it as a character ingame. I have given several reasons why I feel that no matter what is added it is simply unrealistic to asume racial tensions do not exist. Ofcourse it should be something people keep secret like worshipping the Black Flame.

But lawenforcement and the existance of the feeling are different steps in my eyes.

First step is indentifying the feeling and where it comes from. Have there been wars are there differences in lifephilosophy? Questions like that are to identify where the feeling comes from.

Second step is the world as is. how does the octarchy and such influence those feelings? Are they supressing it? Are they ignoring the problem? Are they using the feelings to keep control by playing people against eachother? Questions like that  makes it more clear how the feeling might materialize in Yliakum.

Third step is looking at your character. The first two questions you tried to look at what is possible but now you need to custmomize it to your character looking at the personal experiences.
