The Official Forums is an EXTREMELY poor example of a "Good Community"

The thread was about ethnic hair styles. I make characters that look like me. I interact with fellow POC’s that want the same thing for their characters.

So me being black = me wanting black hairstyles.

You may think you did something there but you rly didn’t.

I'm pretty sure they weren't going for some kind of "gotcha" moment as that is a legitimate question. This an internet forums. We're all of us anonymous and as such things like our age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc are irrelevent. Choosing to willfully surrender that information opens up the possibility of what you experienced, hence the reason for the anonymity.
