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.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.
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.


Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

[TW: Talk of sexual assault, physical assault, violence and antiziganism.]

I’ve sat here, combating the ignorance individually. I’m done with that. I’m done trying to reach you on a one on one level. You continuously ignore anything from me, you ignore the people I talk to on here who are Roma. You say we’re “Being too sensitive,” that “Gypsy is just a word,” that it stands for “Being free spirited, moving from place to place,” and the best, “I’m APPRECIATING your culture.”

First, gypsy is a slur. No matter what you think, it has been a slur for centuries. It’s where the term “gypped” comes from. It was believed that the Roma would rip gadje (non-Roma) off for money. Roma who escaped the fate of death at the hands of the SS and their dogs, the ones who weren’t killed right away, were branded with a “Z”, which stood for Zigeuner, the German word for “Gypsy”. They were shipped to death camps, where barely any suvived.

It is a slur still used today. Roma are called “Gyppos” while being beaten, forced out of their settlements, forced to move. They are called this when they are assaulted and even raped. They are victims of forced sterilization, forcible eviction of settlements, harassment by both law enforcement and citizens, fingerprinting simply because they are Roma, they are often ecxluded from schools.

I want you to look at this (Placed under a cut for graphic depictions of antiziganism)

Is this a joke?

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
not that anon, but if you think that's a joke, then you must be ignorant as fuck. everything in the post is true

it's just that roma are considered an acceptable target by most people, so nobody cares about it. especially wannabe-edgy people in rp land who think that it's cool to be offensive asshats

Not the content of the post, the fact that this is becoming the next SJW craze. It's great that someone took the time to write this all out, but is any of this actually helping the Roma people? How many of the SJW who replurk/reblog/post to a roleplaying anoncomm have even encountered a Roma person? It's great that you care, but if you want to help, get off your ass and do something, don't just whine on the internet for fuck's sake.

the sound of a hundred anons adding "gypsy" to their lexicon of fad insults

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Go suck a dick you autistic gypsy.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
this is all true but i don't see why you'd paste this

that said I do side-eye my SJW friends who used the phrase "Gyp" "gypped", etc

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Switching to the rhyming yet not culturally rude "rip off" is pretty easy!

(Anonymous) 2012-04-10 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, another insults for shitty white girls to throw around. As if we needed that.
