(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 11:41 am (UTC)(link)then again, i also feel like i wouldn't make an offensive caricature in the first place, but who knows
i get why people are hesitant to bring it up directly, though. art is very personal, so maybe it wouldn't be received well. i guess we'll never know, since it's not like anyone here is gonna talk to the player, lol

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 11:54 am (UTC)(link)no one is saying the player is an antisemitic racist. no one is really worried about whether this is their core nature or an ideological statement or whatever. it doesn't matter. they made something bad that invokes a shit-ton of tropes and stereotypes that have been used to justify harming and killing people for centuries. that is bad. it does not indicate or invoke any kind of ~inherent trait~ on the part of the player to say, wow, this is a sack of negative stereotypes they're putting out there.
and no one is trying to get them ~banned from RP forever.~ theyre calling the attention of the mods in one community to an example of the one specific character that is a problem. if this player rolled in later with a character that is not a stack of negative stereotypes, no one would say boo.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)the personal failing comes when you become a big flailing tittybaby if someone says "Hey that thing you said/did was a little bit racist" and instead of listening or trying to process that, you start doubling down. that's how you become jk rowling.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)Actually, they're calling the attention of the mods because they don't want to be the ones to contact the player.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)if they confronted the player on their BS, i’d at least respect that. but no, it’s so haaaaarrrrddd!
(frozen comment) Re: MEME PET PEEVES
(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)shit, them coming to wankgate is proof of their spinelessness to actually communicate with the player in question. unless someone has actually approached them to tell them WHY this character makes them uncomfortable, they'll keep handwringing here about it hoping someone else does the work for them.
trying to sic the mods on them now is just another low.
"b-b-b-b-buh what if they get d-d-d-defensive about their OC???!" then screencap and send THAT shit to the mods.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)for the record, it would be up to the person offended to point out, as the offended party, that it's offensive. i'm not going to listen to sjw white saviors screaming about cultural appropriation or racism. i would listen to a native american saying they'd prefer if you buy a dreamcatcher or anything else that's based on native american art style, that you buy from an actual native american artist. i would also listen to a jewish person bringing up that 'jewed' is a racial slur and to please not use it, since a lot of people seem to be ignorant of the origin of a lot of popular vernacular. about a decade ago, i took jewed and gypped out of my vocabulary when i found out that they were slurs. i've walked away from arguments with people nowadays who say that it doesn't mean that and no one's offended.
but if i said something/did something that actually offended someone, i would want to know, because i can't change/alter my behavior if no one tells me. i would want to know if i'm playing what's essentially a tarbaby character. no one seems to have told this person and are just going with, 'well, they should have known'. how? not everyone is into politics or racial/cultural matters. especially if they aren't black/jewish and don't have anyone in their social circle.
someone reach out and tell this person if they're so pissed over it. i'm not against dragging this back here if they react like a racist asshole, but right now, it's all assumption and guessing, and at least two people here have gone to the public comm mods to act on it. put the torch down.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-17 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)go tell the player that they’re doing it wrong, instead of being a coward who whines here because talking directly to a player you don’t like is SO HARRRRRDDD.
