Personally, I think it's way too far and even tiring to even THINK about this idea of "if you're someone who RPs as hating lalas then you're racist irl" I just. I'm so tired. It's both a joke and insult. Like please do not put a lalafell hater on the same level as someone who would gun me down simply for breathing, do not insult me like that. If you can't comprehend why even insinuating that someone pretending to be racist against made up characters is awful, I don't know what to tell you other than you're apparently extremely sheltered and perhaps are consuming way too much fiction. Please read about reality sometimes too. The two will never compare, it'll never be the same, you will never be the leader of morality that you think you are attempting to pull that self indulgent little trick.
And what anyway is the proposed idea in relation to this. Have there be one set of RP rules and everyone has to follow it to a T or they should be banned? Everyone should have the same views, the same mindsets, the same backgrounds-you all just wanna relive the same fart sniffing stories over and over again just to remain morally righteous in a video game? In a video game where both you and all the other main characters around you make morally questionable decisions from time to time???
Are we finally reaching that point where media isnt allowed to have conflict? Because I've seen it popping up with fan writers and other things. Like.. "well if you make a villain, you CO-SIGN what that villain does because you literally created him" Huh?? Then where does the good guy come in? Where's the dark to fight for light? It's ok to enjoy slice of life, but why does everything have to fit this bubble of an ideal perfect no one is ever hurt EVER world?
It's 100% ok to not RP with people you're not comfortable with. Regardless of the situation.
It's 100% ok to avoid someone for in-character and even out of character reasons. Regardless of the situation.
Everyone has boundaries. Everyone has preferences. That's good, that's great. Surround yourself with what you enjoy and others that enjoy you.
But for the love of god, please don't go and look for people who write in ways you don't like and then seek to have them thrown out of communities or banned or anything else. Just leave them alone. We don't need people trying to be the RP police about what others are and arent allowed to pretend in their own mind in regards to their made up character. Ok. None of it is real. None of it is real and the idea of potentially getting people in trouble for made up thought crimes is so unhinged it makes me worry for the future of story telling entirely. Enjoy Endwalker.
