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.

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.

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.

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

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
