good luck to your dad on his path to downton abbey BNFdom

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.

i'm not trying to justify the other stuff era does because i barely know them.

i just think it's stupid getting worked up about a language headcanon based on a real world language for a canon that has made up alien languages. it's barely virtue signalling.

except it fucking is when SPANISH IS NOT AN EXISTING LANGUAGE IN FUCKING STAR WARS. why is this so hard for you and era to understand?

you can try to act like it's stupid and not worth commenting on all you want but it makes no sense within the context of the fucking canon.

attempts to derail the wank only makes it worse when it's legit.

if there's an english equivalent language there can also be a spanish-like language. i understand where you're coming from but i also understand that it's kind of stupid to get this worked up about it when this is literally the least harmful headcanon a person can have.

you're not gonna let this go, are you?

okay i'll bite too. hint: the characters in star wars are speaking galactic basic, not english. the reason the actors are speaking english is the same reason dubbed anime characters do. this isn't difficult. there is no space spain.

it's one of era's friends. bet's on lynn. lynn will hang onto stuff like this forever until you cave and admit that you're wrong. whether you're actually wrong or not. no one who "barely knows this person" would fight so much about it like this.

Just a flatview passerby who couldn't give any less of a shit about Star Wars, but this. It's either the wanker in question or one of their friends. I think the canon and fandom is dumb as fuck and even I don't see why "lol lets accept space spanish in this" is a logical argument. It kind of is a big deal because it's like letting someone have some other shitty snowflake tumblr headcanon and try to present it as factual canon. Once your headcanon potentially interferes with other castmates, it's bad and needs to be critted.

sigh. nobody is saying they are speaking space spanish, they are saying it's pretty reasonable that spanish could be used as a placeholder for whatever other actual space language the same way that english is a placeholder for galactic basic

this really isn't that hard if you aren't blinded by your own hateboner

sure "da"

fuck off with this devil's advocate shit. she's doing this for magical representation points you chode, and if she wants to make the completely unsupported headcanon that this guy speaks some other space language, she can, gasp, make up a language.

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
right because coming up with conlang is something you can just do off the cuff and oh you know what fuck this, this has become officially more boring than work and i give up. you get points for chode and i hope you have a nice day

if it would be such a pain to make up another language


maybe dont make your character speak special snowflake languages that they don't even reference in canon at all in your rp. problem solved

maybe try being a little less transparent in trying to deflect on behalf of your shitty tumblrina friends in the future.

i barely know this person i just think this is so stupid and only brought up because you don't like them, not because of lore purity.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
considering you've admitted that you don't know star wars you really shouldn't be talking about lore purity.

fyi, they speak english in the movies because they're american movies and back when the original trilogy came out, george lucas wasn't going to be able to make a movie that was subtitled with actors speaking some made up language. he wasn't peter jackson with the lotr budget.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
that was a different anon. i actually know star wars to some extent.

even if george lucas did have a lotr budget for the original trilogy, the main language of the universe would still have been in english because the alien languages used in star wars are essentially gibberish. but even a quick google search shows that the gibberish alien languages are still based off real languages for how they sound, like quechuan, haya, and tibetan. so a spanish-sounding language in the star wars universe is not an impossibility.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
a language that sounds like another doesn't mean that they're similar or use the same words. cassian should not be able to speak with sombra or any of the other spanish speaking characters in spanish. they come from earth. they speak spanish. cassian does not. however you want to try to excuse it, the languages aren't the same and him speaking it isn't canon. so either she's doing it for representation points, to shove her way into cr with spanish speaking characters, or because she has no ic/ooc divide and is trying to practice the spanish that she's taking in real life with a character who doesn't speak it.

doesn't know dick about star wars anon

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
oh

see

that's different, i didn't know what thread we were talking about and thought cassian just swore in spanish or something, i didn't realize he was actually having a conversation with someone from earth in spanish

that's ridic and changes everything, carry on

uh huh. i'm sure you're just standing up for the little guy and not defending the honor of m'lady of uwu representation uwu.

fuck off, go lick her clit directly and stop spouting this bullshit. between chinese river tam and the space spaniard, era has shown herself as worthy of all mockery, and that's not even getting into the shit she posts on plurk.
