rpanons | Found the token ace

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

not for nothin, but

" That to kick her out because of her political standings was completely wrong and beyond their power to do so"

that's just completely false. there's no law saying they can't. they're just straight up unwilling because of some misguided attachment to a misunderstanding of what free speech means. they absolutely can do this, they're just too chickenshit to do so.

yeah, really. this is a hobby. mods don't get paid. they can kick someone out for posting selfies on plurk if they want. they'll get shat on for it, and it'll make no damn sense, but if that's what they wanna do, they're well within their rights. kicking someone out for being an open bigot is MORE than understandable, especially with so many LGBT and POC players in the game.

omfg nothing makes me happier than anons who accuse people of being cowards. i love starting off my day with a big steaming helping of hypocrisy!

I'm anon because it's the culture of this place, not because I'm afraid of having this opinion attached to me. For what it's worth, I'm not a player in the game, though I have considered playing there in the past.

I've run games before. I've been a mod off and on at several games for damn near ten years now. Coming from that experience, I can't help but get frustrated at mods who think they are somehow obligated to uphold things like this. You're the mods. It's YOUR game. No one is holding you accountable to some higher ideal of freedom of expression.

Fact is, there is no such thing as free speech in RP, because removing Phase from a game for being a shitheel bigot isn't censoring her. She can still spout her vile shit. She just has to do so elsewhere. She is not entitled to play in this game. No one is.

To be honest, if people started to do that, we'd end up reaching the point where mods would toss people out for even the flimsiest of excuses.

I would rather have people come to me and let me know that what they're doing is making them uncomfortable than tossing them on a whim.

don't start that "slippery slope" bullshit with me, open and hateful bigotry is not a flimsy excuse.

soon they'll come for our waifus! they'll take away our visualosities! there'll be chaos in the streets! innocent rpers wandering the (baker)streets with nowhere else to go!

get off the meme, Alex Jones

"how dare you call me out for whining in anonmemes rather than (wo)maning the heck up and telling you my problems with a player"

they didn't call me out on that. they said that kicking people out of games for expressing political beliefs was a slippery slope that could lead to superficial reasoning for kicks of any player. for god's sake, anon, the parent button is right there

i think referring to bigotry, racism, and misogyny as "political leanings" is also pretty disgusting and acting like that's politics is completely incorrect. it's basic rights and not being a piece of shit.

this isn't about gun control, that's politics. policing a woman's body and if same sex can marry same sex can be part politics but they are not just politics and to refer to them as just such is a false equivalent and placing the blame on anything but phase herself and using it as an excuse. these things should never be referred to in such a way because you remove who or what she votes for and those damaging, disgusting beliefs still remain and are detrimental to people and this community.
