Trapped in the city of one loo

Rundown: [community profile] 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.

you didn't read my comment if you thought I was saying Austin was a utopian wonderland. I was saying literally the opposite, that the gentrification of East Austin is a depressing, angering reality that most of the city is turning a blind eye to because most of the city are "well meaning" rich white liberals who just want their organic vegan gluten-free coffee shops and don't care if they have to destroy a minority owned business or neighborhood to do so. we're basically being Brooklynized.

also, I think we're both making assumptions here, you're just doing it in the opposite direction. for every non-minority person that's come up in minority neighborhoods that I've met who was a piece of shit racist, I've met significantly more who came away from the experience a hell of a lot wiser to minority voices and experiences, even if they don't necessarily share them. at this point we're basically talking entirely about our own anecdotal experiences and I don't think we're gonna get any further.
