Χριστός ἀνέστη ! Happy Easter to all Gregorian friends, Christ will come again and His enemies will tremble at the sight! "His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns ... He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

"Didn't he lose...?" Leopold said to no one in particular

"This would not be an Empire, but a loose confederation of humanity. Too busy navel gazing about the rights of man, the many; the base desires of the stomach. A true Empire would make the few look upwards and ascend, on the backs of the many! " Leopold exclaimed to his Salvian friends as he read the letter. "Besides, it'd be absurd to give the seat of Haense, a mighty realm, the same vote as lowly Hyspia for example."

fantasy settings are far more compelling when the tenets of interaction are firmly grounded in realism. you must accept that even fictional characters can be not-nice and that you threaten the credibility of the server's setting if you mandate acceptance of something people want to otherwise not accept. People are not nice sometimes and we are trying to roleplay people, with all their warts and boils. The setting becomes far smaller if you sterilise independent opinion for the sake of people disliking some thoughts and not others. Being homosexual or having homosexual feelings is not banned in canonism, only homosexual marriage (currently).

shouldn't we then ban any sexually/romantically charged rp on the server then because the minors ? (I'm for this btw)

Why do you suppose so, it hurts my escapism when I'm reminded of my low birth irp. You may laugh at that but why is that not a legitimate grievance? Why is class a real life discrimnation that's integral and others not?

the argument for banning prejudice because lotc is escapism is wrong because a lotc is (or should be) a narrative/story-telling medium, not a base escapist fantasy. If you'd actually be consequent in the escapism line of thinking it'd be perfectly logical to ban any differences that exist in real life like class and ethnic group, because the existence of these would lead to discrimination and thus prejudice. It'd be in fact imperative to ban these distinctions to protect all groups that could experience prejudice. I think @argonianalready touched on this but why shouldn't we ban these if this server is a means of escapism from rl prejudice?

"Now my knowledge of the Scrolls is quite rusty, but theft I think is not explicitly disallowed by it. To think that by absence of the explicit prohibiton of theft, it is allowed to steal by Scripture would be ridiculous. The claim for men being allowed to bed other men should be substantiated by other arguments besides this one." Leopold mused, he went tot he Salvian archives to research the principle of Mutatis Mutandis afterwards.

Leopold Ludolfson read the missive, and failed to see the issue "A woman was cured of her vampyrism and complains about this...?" He pondered whilst sipping his Salvian roast coffee.

Leopold was enjoying a nice afternoon with his fellow scholars on the beaches of Atheran Salvus. He refilled the glasses of those present with Salvian sparkling wine and lifted a Gillardeau Oyster to his mouth. "And I told him guys... 'Your Majesty, if you seek prosperity, if you seek liberation: Come here to this gate! Majesty, open this gate! Majesty, tear down this wall!'" The entourage laughed in unison, basking in the afternoon rays from the sun, before slurping the oysters.

Auf Wiedersehen..
