On Extreme Role-playing Within XIV

[Krotoan]

You do what you like with people around you who consent to the experience. Do not involve others who are unknown quantities and you have no idea how they'll react or who might internalize your "role play".

Otherwise have at.

Honestly, as far as everything is concerned, being called slightly close minded for not wanting to deal with even pretend racism is kinda not the worst thing lol

But most of the detracting takes have been acting the person behind the character rather than the idea of such things happening between characters within a narrative.

I mean that is the topic we are talking about racist remarks made about characters not people. So I mean you must feel uncomfortable a lot of time in FFXIV since the amount of racist lalafell jokes made on a daily basis.

Intentionally or unintentionally, you’re tossing massive red flags my way so I’m dipping out of this. Continue to dumb down peoples responses, if you want. I just want no part in your ridiculous conversation anymore.

Or is it you are interjecting a standard that should not be put into play when it comes to a discussion about characters, and not people.

reading comprehension might not be a strong suit of yours, and that’s understandable. it might take a second reading to really sink in, and that’s fine! here, i’ll help you so you don’t have to go scrolling through a bunch of messages:

This tbh. If you're roleplaying as a racist character, I don't really want to talk to you - while it might not mean you yourself are racist, I just don't want to deal with that stuff in general.

As mentioned you must feel uncomfortable fairly frequently due to the amount of lalafell hate, or are you saying lalafell do not count. Cause I am willing to bet everyone has made at least one joke that could be seen as racist towards lalafell. Reading comprehension might not be your strong suit.

Just saying the stance is flawed, or are you saying comments made while in RP only count, and those made OOC are okay? In that is the case your standard is kinda weird.

to emphasize, since it seems you’ve yet again failed to fully comprehend the weight if what i said:

i fully understand glazing over to pick out words you’re more prone to zeroing in on, so it might help you to fully read what i said, and maybe even think about it for longer than the time it takes to respond.

regardless, i said i was dipping out of this conversation and as such, i’m dipping out. have fun deliberately misunderstanding what people say to suit your own narrative, because i’m sure it must be.

So role playing a racist character is a no no for you, but making hateful OOC remarks about lalafell are okay? Even though both are about characters that do not really exist? That is a weird standard.

Did they ever say anything about OOC?
Can you quote what they said for me? Because I must have missed it.

I am just wondering, if that is not the case then they should very well feel very uncomfortable in game due to the racist remarks made the the expense of lalafell. If they do not then it means that OOC comments towards lalafell are okay. Also read the only comments I have made, they are the one focusing on the RP aspect after my lalafell comment, so following that it must be safe to assume only RP matters.
