/all this virtue signaling under the assumption that the artist/player is an antisemitic racist and trying to get them straight up banned from RP is even weirder behavior to me than the OC themselves

yeah, this. OP is very obviously thirsty for clout and ass kissing, they clearly care more about stroking their own ego than anything else.

i feel like if i were the player, i'd want to know i managed to create an offensive caricature so i could correct the problem

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

see, this is the fragile whiteness talking.

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.

white people need to stop thinking "you did something racist, whether you intended to or not" means "you're an irredeemable cross-burning racist and i hope you die" lmao

the thing is, most of "the west" is built on the backs of colonialism and racial oppression (and a lot of other sins, but that's a whole different ball game.) if you grow up in those environments, you are going to unwittingly absorb some racist thought patterns, and it takes some time and effort to dig your way out. it just happens, and it's not a personal failing.

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.

Actually, they're calling the attention of the mods because they don't want to be the ones to contact the player.

ayep. they’re an anxiety chihuahua who’d rather use others as attack dogs against the player instead of telling them what they’re doing wrong.

if they confronted the player on their BS, i’d at least respect that. but no, it’s so haaaaarrrrddd!

exactly.

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.

ayep. i would have contacted the player first and told them “look, you’re doing shit wrong and here’s why, you should at least consider changing it”. only if the player thew a fit or ignored it i’d come here to tattle tale, or tell the BS mods.

but no, to them that’s HARRRRD.

if you're too conflict avoidant/anxiety ridden that you can't actually bring up your issues to the person you have your issues with who isn't even playing with you, just existing in the same space you frequent? it's looking less like they're the one with the issue.

eh. i don't agree that the target of the perceived racism racism should necessarily be the one to confront the potential racist

it's ok to go to mods first for such issues

show me where the op of this is jewish, black, a vampire, goblin, or all of the above.

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.

do you really need to see op's race credentials to believe they were genuinely offended?

tldr: “if you don’t agree with me and suck my dick, you’re white!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

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.
