Do you tease lalafells?

Agreed. It doesn't matter how minor or harmless it is. If someone is bothered by it, no matter their personal reasonings behind it, you should stop out of respect for that person.



It's annoying. It's akin to a fly. A common house fly is harmless in a lot of ways. It can be easily avoided by going into another room or going outside of your house. But it doesn't change the fact that it's an irritant and you likely want to be rid of it.

That's how I view the jokes. They buzz their same old buzz and it's bothersome.

Normally I do not see people voicing their annoyance towards said fly in a public space they either kill it or ignore it for the most part.

Yet the jokes are often made in 'public' spaces. In parties, shout chat or in social settings in general such as Discord. The people making the jests are interacting with other people and likely expecting a response.

So that's why, in voice chat for example, if someone were to say they wanted to 'punt me' or that 'i'm a little evil creature' I'm going to respond appropriately - which is by telling them to 'stop'.

Yet the behavior persists regardless. And it's considered acceptable and even encouraged.

Point remains if someone refers to your character as an evil creature and that annoys you to the point where you need to voice concern when one could have easily just ignore the annoyance. Then do not get shocked people call you soft or uptight. Cause generally such comments are easily seen as jokes and nothing more.

Well yes, some kill (report) them. Some ignore them.

But flies don't really value their "life" anyways. So no need to cry about them.

Let us be real as mentioned in other posts if people walked around in fear of the ToS players would not be able to do much of anything since the ToS is so vaguely written depending on the GM an action can be seen as nothing or something.

Though yeah people can report people for what they want though reporting someone for established memes are soft.

If having personal boundaries makes me 'soft' or 'uptight' then I'll happily be viewed as such.

I've dealt with being called 'soft' and 'uptight' in the military because I didn't tolerate jokes made at my expense as a black woman.

So I'll keep on keeping on.

"Black women" eh I willing to bet it had less to do with that and more so had to do with the personality. Just the "black women" was the attribute they choose to make jokes about.

Seeing as they were racial jokes. Yeah, it was.

Awha, I'm gonna tell ya, just stop there. I know you don't get why this bothers people. But you need to stop there.

I'm sure he wants me to share the entire story about how I was treated by my chain of command and then spin it to make it look like it was entirely my fault.

May I ask why? The reality is that context matters if I got upset everytime someone made a joke at the expense of my personality and picked a attribute of mine to mock I would have a head full of grey hair.

Sometimes a joke is just a joke and often people read too much into it.

Nah the fault is not on you that they made the jokes but yeah I will say the fault is on you for getting offended. I come from a military family I get how messed up officers can be especially when it comes to pranks and jokes I have heard enough tales.

Established memes, huh? I would rather say NA humor that originated from a culture of trolling and shitposting + having the need to feel superior by making fun of others.

It seems what you all are really mad about is not that jokes aren't allowed. It's more that there are rules preventing you from bringing your 4chan troll lifestyle into a game that should be neutral ground. A bit sad but i am out of here for now.
