I believe that lizards/cat-people are hated because people associate them with "furry" fetish communities, which are viewed in a negative light themselves. It is an extension of the behavior found in high and middle school children, who ostracize the others based on traits or preferences that differ from their own. As this practice is not openly tolerated in real world public space, the opportunity to express a modified version of the behavior is present here in this community; An opportunity that is used as frequently as possible.

Plasmamen, on the other hand, have no such associations. Furthermore, flaming skeletons are much more accepted as masculine and 'cool' than lizards or cat-people. I expect their addition to be well met once any balance issues are ironed out.

I think there's also a legitimate fear of a slippery slope. People enjoy a human-centric science fiction setting, and that can be lost on other servers. Take this screenshot for example:

Big slug/snake people? Some sort of fox in the lower left? A lizard with a really fat tail at the bottom centre? Even the captain looks like he might have furry ears.

I think there might be a fear of one, I wouldn't say that there's a legitimate fear of one.

It's legitimised by it happening on other servers. Were it not for the ceaseless guardians of human supremacy, we might all become slugs overnight!

What kind of delusional armchair psychology nonsense is this?

maybe it's not because we all have suppressed psychological issues, but because the """""""""""""""""roleplay""""""""""""""""" that comes with mutantraces ("you are not the same race as me! fuck you! haha i love to rp") is stupid and uninteresting as fuck and detracts from the game?
i play Lauser McMauligan. clown name is Cold-Ass Honkey
i have three other top secret characters as well.

i dunno why people say that pkpenguin most of the time when i roleplay with lizardoids they're polite to me and catmongers are just humans that go "nya" sometimes and can be bribed with boxes full of dead rats.

Mutantraces aren't the ones who do that """""""""""""""""roleplay""""""""""""""""", though. It's the humans who start anti-lizard riots and shout "ligger".

As a lizard player, I don't give two shits if someone calls me a ligger. That's like somebody calling you a faggot in real life, you just ignore them or laugh it off. The real problems start when they actually start acting on their racism.

Back when there was only one Lizard, Jon Riker the Janitor, and he was one of the good ones!
