An excellent change, Happy Pride Month!

@Josh3738While we're here, can you do something to get people to stop calling Darkspawn "spook/spooks"? It's literally a racial slur, and it's making a lot of POC players uncomfortable. I know everyone's done it for forever, and I know that the people doing it likely don't know the real world connotations, so I think a public clarification will be helpful to get everyone on the same page. "Spooky" is fine as an adjective, or in its past tense form as a verb, but "Spooks/Spook" as a noun is not super great.

Homophobic, transphobic, and racist roleplay are prohibited.

Does this mean that IRP religions cannot prohibit homosexuality or prevent homosexuals from being clergy?

cant be racist to elves anymore? gg

Cant be racist to humans more like. Thats probably a genuine thing to consider for the other races.


Arbatray bit aside, I do love the inititive that admins have done going forward, much needed in 10 years. And hope the server can continue to be a safe place to roleplay and tell stories.

IT'S HERITAGE NOT HATE!

They used to call Asian-coded characters 'slanty' IC, just in case you were wondering what 'mirroring IRL racism' means, it's not 'I hate dwarves, those short little greedy bastards', it's mocking human subraces using slurs that apply to IRL ethnicities

I think the ship already sailed on this one.

"Mirroring IRL racism" is such a vague concept because racial discrimination has taken so many forms over the centuries (refusing to let certain groups into institutions, leadership positions, etc.). What constitutes a mirror and what doesn't? Because the way it's written sounds like it could be stretched to punish anyone that partakes in racist RP to any extent if staff want that player to be banned

seems pretty easy to avoid, if you think its questionable then dont rp it - the thought of anything being questionable or stretching close to the lines should be your warning

Seems like it invalidates decades of human rp not to mention preventing people from rping analogues to the major abrahamic religions
