The explanation I like is that on /tg/ people are roleplaying as half insane demigods
Remote cloning means your death is entirely irrelevant, and immortality is no big deal - it makes sense that people might go slightly crazy, and that employees who stick around longer would begin to grow jaded and more robust - if you spend X time as an engineer IC, you can do surgery because you could have spent even longer in past lives as a doctor
"/tg/ is low rp" is a stupid thing to say, because it equates us with servers that make no effort to maintain any semblance of setting or lore
this is why we
- bwoink people for using netspeak IC
- bwoink people for ooc in ic
- bwoink people for names that are obviously not ok, like number spam or something
- have centcomm messages come from centcomm and not "admin announcements"
- have people who will play along with in character gimmicks like inspectors
to name just a few
EDIT: wanted to add that since I'm aware I was misinterpreting the name policy I'm not in favor of an enforced character name format in code
