    I could get into femroe memes as well if that's where we're up to now.
    If someone was mocking you for being bald then yes it would be a negative, but simply stating that you are indeed bald is not mocking you, it's nowhere near the level as refering to a nationality as a slang term. Unless you consider being bald a slang?

    Read what they wrote, they were associating.
    No different than if I said the meme about people who play girl characters is true (which insinuates that they're acting like a girl knowing full well they're a grown man behind the computer).

    If there is a pattern of behavior from a group that share similar traits then people are going to generalize. The 'bald male roe' comes from a string of posts of similar content from characters with similar traits so generalization is going to happen. It's not meant as insult so long as you're aware that they don't mean that literally everyone in that group is like that.

    if I called you a simp, like most male Hyurs are in game, I don't think you'd like that label applied to you. Furthermore, what does it matter to you? If want to talk about labels then let's take it outside the forums, there are plenty of labels I could share with you about Hyurs and whatnot.

    Do you have proof of a group of male hyurs acting like simps to base this generalization off of or just your personal perspective on the matter? You're taking a joke hypothetical someone made due to recent post activity and turning into a personal attack.

    Yes, that's Occlusion Culling in the Graphics settings. Uncheck that box and whatever is behind your camera will remain rendered.

    So when you taste the medicine it tastes bad now.You're supposed to accept it and take it as a light-hearted joke.
    And if we're talking about recent post activity....you're the one who made a thread condemning and questioning the moderation/community staff of the forum. Your activity here is a whole lot more questionable than me asking for a texture patch that the game needs badly in some locations.

    Who are you, the gossip patrol? Fall back.

    I'm not tasting anything, all I'm asking for is the basis of your generalization. And yes, it was a light-hearted joke. Just because you chose to take offense to it doesn't make it anything more or less.

    People don't get suspended or banned due to bad textures, but they do for shady moderation which is what my thread was about, there's nothing 'questionable' about it.

    Occlusion culling does not have any effect, I have it disabled by default.
