Are roleplayers not allowed on Red99 anymore?

[minakto]

I received a disturbing message today friends. GM's and other staff have been banning people who are roleplayers and encourage violence against groups of ingame races such as gnomes, high elves, barbarians and erudites, calling it "hatespeech and racism." Is harmless roleplaying in a high fantasy environment not allowed anymore? Dungeons and Dragons typically have roleplaying against specific races, why is it forbidden on an Everquest Emulator?

Staff can we receive a clear message regarding the legality of such gameplay? Roleplaying is a classic and valuable mechanic that many players immerse themselves in.

not my fault that my Dwarf doesn't like erudite rogues or Gnolls in general.

[Coffee]

Role playing is what vyrenoth does.

With the number of unemployed who eat pills to deal with debilitating depression and anxiety over hearing voices on TeamSpeak I think role playing should be bannable.

[minakto]

It shouldn't be the concern of the staff if my character kills any race on sight due to roleplaying. This is just another way for new staff to try and "improve" Red99 with their new thoughtpolice rules. Hasn't Red99 had enough of new staff implementing new rules just for the staff member to quit 4 weeks later?

I think a poem written by Martin Niemoller in the aftermath of World War 2 and the atrocities of the Nazis and fascists were made public is a great lesson for anybody wanting to silence groups of players for their beliefs:

First they came for the roleplayers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a roleplayer.
Then they came for the PVPers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a PVPer.
They they came for the raid guildes
and I did not speak out because I was not in a raid guild.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

You're not fooling anyone. You're not roleplaying Norrathian racism. You're using euphemisms to imply RL slurs. I don't know whether you're just doing it to annoy and offend people or to express your racist feelings, but it doesn't matter. Players here dislike it and clearly some are complaining to the GMs.

It's obvious this isn't about the freedom to roleplay. There's a lot more to fantasy roleplaying than racism, and you don't do any of it. Your roleplaying is a parody and a sham.

You are merely butthurt because you're finally facing consequences for your xenophobic trolling.

Should anybody who roleplays a paladin sworn to destroy dark elves be banned for racism/xenophobia?

What about your murder of giants/dragons/dwarves? Is that not genocide? Thoughtcrime is a slippery slope and once a new staff member begins enacting rules to ban behaviors that are legal but he/she dislikes, it will end in disaster, as in every staff member since the beginning of Red99 except Sirken. Somehow, Sirken has retained his legitimacy, judgement and objectiveness throughout all of this.

Tala, I name you a racist and xenophobic member of Casual Scum who participate in genocide due to your misguided and terrible beliefs. I will be petitioning this.

People "hated" gender based signs at target too...You know complying with the weak got them? a rather large loss of business which will show clearly in the 4th quarter.
And you must not remember, when kunark released on live iksars were denied groups left and right for simply being iksars.
People really need to grow up and stop trying to make the world perfect, wether real or virtual, the desire for perfection only breeds hate.

No one told you not to attack on sight in Norrath. The point you're trying so desperately not to acknowledge is that the GMs are telling you to stop calling people "Erudite" as a substitute for the N-word.

You're not an erudite. You're a filthy half-elf who will be destroyed for being a half breed piece of shit. You're also possibly a dervish in disguise. I will contact the Norrathian INS to investigate your status.

Hint: this isn't roleplaying.

Because there is no Norrathian INS; this is a concept you, the player, are adding into the game from modern day concepts that do not belong in the setting.

This is the opposite of roleplaying, and no one's buying it.

Hah! If you think I'm insulted, you'd better consult with that famed Gnomish intellect of yours. Too bad you lack the wisdom to apply it. I've endured far worse treatment than this in the past, and my Half-Elven legs will always carry me away from those who would do me harm.

We Half-Elves know the value of tolerance and understanding. My drum and lute have taken me all over Norrath, and I've learned there are more similarities than differences between the races that populate these vast and varied lands.

This is just social justice nerds trying to enforce their skewed real life beliefs onto a 16 year old elf simulator game. Racism and xenophobia is alive and well in Norrath. The Kromrif and Kromzek of Kael Drakkel regularly try to commit genocide in Great Divide against the Coldain.

The dragons of Claws of Veeshan consider themselves superior to every other race; hello dragon supremacy.

The Coldain will not talk allow you to complete armor quests until you prove yourself; hello racism.

Anybody who supports the suppression of speech due to made up terms such as racism, xenophobia and hate speech in a game literally about killing your enemies, is an idiot.

The only ones who can argue with that are the ones who get offended by every little thing in life.
You know, the ones who never shut up because "susie" gave a weird look.
The ones who claim to be all about freedom, unless its something they dont like, in which case it should be banned because they think they have the freedom to take someone elses rights.
Those kinds of people, they arent worth the oxygen it takes to properly insult them.
Though, i wouldnt really call them made up, but definitely over-used in situations where the word has no grasp on the situation.

You've already posted rules that weren't relevant to the discussion regarding role playing as nobody was talking about real life, just ingame races, species and characters (erudites, dark elves, trolls ogres, gnomes etc).

Staff can we receive a clear message regarding the legality of such gameplay? Roleplaying is a classic and valuable mechanic that many players immerse themselves in.

lol maybe because it's thinly veiled racism, but you can prove me wrong when you show me the player who got banned for being racist against a Gnome, High Elf, or Barbarian.

P.s. this would hardly be a problem if there was no terrible unclassic global ooc to use as an unclassic platform for role playing. If this was confined to the zone of the role player it would be a lot more classic and would mean level 1 first timers would be a lot less exposed to it. The place might even seem normal.

Their's still an incoming haymaker when Terry sees page one of Google images.

I don't understand why someone would be displeased with being referred to as a fantasy race of superior intellect. I've been called a Vulcan before and was pretty happy actually ^^ Whether it was intended as praise or not is largely irrelevant because it connotes a quality I along with society hold in high regard: smarts! ^^

I sometimes roleplay, never once did a GM get involved.. less immersion maybe..

Did you roleplay a beaten and broken guildleader? You doing that pretty well lately.

On the topic of discrimination, perceived or actual, that is what communities are for. We find others who are like us and seek to destroy those who are not. This is a universal truth.

It is important to note however that "like us" is not universally understood in the same fashion. I for example place little emphasis on pigmentation beyond socio-economic indicators in determining who is like me. Accordingly I do not identify with racist ideology. It is nonsensical and downright nasty to actively detest someone for something beyond their control.

On the other hand, I don't particularly like fat people. Beyond the behavioral implications of fatness (impaired self control, disregard for others, etc.) to me fat people are unattractive. I don't hate them for how they look, but I don't like them for it either. It is the behavioral connotations of their fatness that actively diminishes my respect for them as fellow human beings.

As a community if we feel this fellow (the OP) does not conform to our standards then it is incumbent upon us to drive him away, but let us not dress our own intolerance in a guise of distaste for the same.

this equating of fatness with immorality, and thus (unconsciously) non-fatness with morality, is why ppl like jared fogle can get away with molesting underage girls for so long

fyi

I was unaware morality was such a binary paradigm. Even if we were to accept the premise of your implied proposition that "all people who are fat are immoral, therefore all people who are not fat are moral" as true, the argument is not sound because the premise does not speak to immorality of people who are not fat. The conclusion therefore cannot be assured.

The problem is one of faulty logic, not notions of morality.

On a side note I think it is absurd to argue being fat is immoral. Inconsiderate? I tend to think so, but immoral? No.
