[rpanonmod]

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.

someone on my timeline is chimping over gravity falls via anon plurk

the show is over, go to bed

[(Anonymous)]

"chimping." found the racist.

[(Anonymous)]

what

da

[(Anonymous)]

chimping is a common derogatory term used against black people.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

well that's awkward

i have only ever heard it used to describe to angry white guys losing their shit over video games or whatever and thought it referred to the tendency of such people to resort to screeching and flinging shit when frustrated

my apologies

it happens. learning from it is all you can do. i mean, i saw a newscaster use the word 'gypped' and not know that it was also a derogatory term. i used 'coon's age' up until i was 18 and got told by a friend what it meant. some are a little more dependent upon location than others. bonus for you is that you aren't being a defensive jackass about it and 'no no' like i've seen someone else do who used it on one of the anon comms.

there was actually huge wank about this on here once. i've never heard "chimping out" anywhere except on anoncomm so i thought it was someone making it up or something the first time i saw it.

ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

i think it's definitely culture and location. i've heard terms that others haven't and i've been like 'yo, bro, you can't say that' and they haven't had a clue that it was a slur. i don't expect anyone to be up to snuff on all the derogatory terms that are out there because holy shit, there's a lot, but at least this anon was open to hearing it was a slur and deciding not to continue using it, unlike that other incident where people tried to argue it wasn't an insult when it was.

btw, i'm totally fuguing on that word that means area specific, like pop being used in some parts of the country and soda in others, and coke in others still. whatever the word, that's what i mean. because up here in my part of the world, there's a slur term for native that i found people didn't know about when i moved to a larger city, but anyone who was from the smaller place or around there knew exactly what it was.

this is actually really cute... someone learned something and no one flipped their shit

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

sorry for jumping to a conclusion, op. i should have been less presumptuous in how i said that. it's late, and it's one of those terms that gets to me. thanks for being reasonable and not defensive.

For real. Who the fuck knows all the dumb racist jargon that gets thrown around?

Protip: point out that it's a shitty phrase to use and move on. 99% of the shitheads in this comm are liberal and left-leaning, but very sheltered. You're only an asshole if you insist on using the word anyway.
