why does everyone STILL have to remind some people about this?

Imagine pressing admin buttons because a player chose to actually RP a human supremacist in a human supremacist setting.

And since this is thread is likely to attract some relevant parties ; if you're a non antag and you're screwing over another players round significantly you can expect to get some admin pushback there. Including bans if you get them killed. While xenophobia is IC allowed, there's nothing deeper in administration rulings that cares about the player's species.WineAllWine wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 12:36 amthis thread was sponsored by 2 consecutive terry shifts

Xenophobia is far from boring. In fact, it's the only thing that makes aliens interesting and worth playing.Valorium wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:39 pm Xenophobia is boring.

This says more about the RP quality on Manuel than about xenophobia.Valorium wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:39 pm Xenophobia is boring.

The third sentence is more important here than the first. The problem I have specifically with anti-felinid gimmicks is that they are almost universally exactly the fucking same. If you make it subtle or actually, you know, not an LRP excuse to be a dick to other players under a vague pretense of RP, then it has great storytelling potential. In fact, I'll admit a degree of fault here and remand my statement:Farquaar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:21 pmXenophobia is far from boring.

What do you mean? 75% of the time, when I see IC xenophobia as a gimmick, it's almost exclusively against lizards.massa wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:02 pmso is having cringe shit like catgirl waifus clogging up the spaceman game lol lizards and moths don't get this treatment for a reasonValorium wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 12:49 pmThe third sentence is more important here than the first.

People are just vocal about lizards because they're the other dominant species so we can all play rough. You don't see people actually bullying lizards in a way they wouldn't a human. From an OOC perspective, they fit the setting and vibe much more seamlessly than hamfisted catgirl anime waifus, all of whom have gaudy neon hair.Valorium wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:03 pmWhat do you mean? 75% of the time, when I see IC xenophobia as a gimmick, it's almost exclusively against lizards.massa wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:02 pmso is having cringe shit like catgirl waifus clogging up the spaceman game lol lizards and moths don't get this treatment for a reasonValorium wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 12:49 pmThe third sentence is more important here than the first.

(I will agree that very few people seem to take umbrage with moths.)
I do actually see a fair amount of lizard-bullying focused on their race in a way that is distinct from humans, but that's beside the point. Bullying players for playing a race you dislike OOC is less of a solution than pursuing external changes. I suppose the question to ask oneself is "to what degree is my opposition to felinids as a race legitimately motivated by writing consistency or motivated by the server culture (which is a thinly-veiled way of saying circlejerk) saying that's what I'm supposed to do?" I'm not accusing you of anything in either way; I can understand the universal consistency argument.massa wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:07 pmPeople are just vocal about lizards because they're the other dominant species so we can all play rough.

So unless I’m missing something I’m pretty sure someone picking a fight with your cat OC isnt that problematic.
