peach, you obviously need direct parts cut out of quotes so that you know exactly what people are referring to, otherwise you misconstrue everything.
 
How is me cutting out parts of what you said disrespectful? I'm just trying to make it obvious which part of your message I'm replying to. When you write a long piece/include several points and I want to reply to just one of those points, cutting out bits of the message so I only quote what I want to reply to makes perfect sense? In what world is doing that disrespectful?
because you cut it to misrepresent and lie about what i said. my post was also extremely short, so im calling bullshorts.
you tried to pretend i was making a statement about you not being a poc, when really it was me thanking a poc for backing MY side of the argument up and helping me with a point of view i dont have.
 
People should be free to be whatever they want to be in their games, that's one part of having a customization aspect to creating your own character. Same applies to choosing a gender (if you choose to associate with one) for your character in other games.


Obviously if they're doing it for nefarious reasons then yeah, that's bad. If it's not in bad taste, why take it so personal and spin it into a narrative its not?
 
I don't think you realise what it's like to know you're hated by your significant other's family over a factor about yourself that you can't change. It god damn SUCKS
you know, I don't like sharing my own sob stories, but this bothered me enough to do so. I'm a woman dating another woman who is closeted and whose family would absolutely, 100% disown her, if not worse, if they found out that she was dating me. believe me, I know. I know what it's like. I'm not sure you do, however, since you're appropriating a black woman's story that she told in this thread.

I do know what it's like, actually, my boyfriend's family won't let me in the house because I'm bisexual. Unsure what mentioning someone else's story has to do with me "not understanding" a concept that's completely unrelated to racism

yeah i do feel disrespected, youre being a child. as a fellow bisexual im honestly ashamed of you, and im done with this conversation.
 
You do not need one's approval to design your character the way you want to design them. As long as you're not doing it in a racist or disrespectful way, then do you boo.

To me it's less of using a skin tone as an aesthetic/something to match outfits with, and more like my villager isn't really supposed to represent me, he's his own little guy in his own little island, so he can be whoever he wants. I have bright blonde hair IRL but I go with the dark brown just cause it fits my metal/black clothes theme a lot better.

because you're using a black woman's story as a prop to justify your idea that white people face racism.

one example of a black woman not being allowed to date white men (and her facing all the material harm if she does, and not the white man! seriously, do you not see how weak this example is)? doesn't compare to what black people face. you're not comparing violent manslaughter and mass shootings. you're comparing stubbing your toe on your own furniture to a mass shooting.

look, if we're going on about stories that "don't apply", YOUR sob story doesn't apply because your girlfriend isn't out and you haven't had to deal with her family knowing what you actually are. that man will never be able to go and enjoy a meal with his wife's family. that man will have to see the look on his in-law's faceand know the disgust they hide every time they look at him. they'll know they wish his wife would divorce him and marry her "own kind" instead. if you think that having your in-laws hate you isn't upsetting, i don't know what to tell you, but you're seriously, seriously wrong

OH MY GOD PLEASE LEARN WHEN TO STOP DUDE
naranjita id like to apologize for him because WOW thats was disgustingly disrespectful. im so sorry.
 
STOP DUDE
do you feel disrespected?
I'll stop when you+them stop, I'm not gonna sit here and have someone tell me I'm wrong (when I'm not) if I can reply.
How about you stop and I will, or do you feel the compulsive need to have the last word? no judgement if you do because same

I only mentioned it because you made a wrong assumption about me and it bothered me lol, it's not that deep.

I never said that situation isn't upsetting. it is. it doesn't compare to the racism that black people face, just like stubbing your toe doesn't compare to losing a limb. that man can move on and look for a woman whose family is a better fit for him; a black person cannot ever move away from racism. and, I mean, you're still framing it in terms of how the man in this hypothetical scenario feels. yeah, he might be feel bad. that's sad. she would get disowned and put at an important economic and social disadvantage because she'd lose her family as a support group. that's significantly worse because it's not just a person's feefees getting hurt, it's them facing significant material harm. again: discrimination is about facing material harm. and it's frankly amazing how you're taking a scenario where 100% of the material harm falls on a black person, and you STILL care more about the white man's feelings. I mean, it's bordering on parodic.

so did i. cute that youre reporting an entire thread because people disagreed with your poor little feelings.
no, how dare you say that someones struggles dont matter bc theyre not out yet. again, as a fellow bisexual im absolutely ashamed of you.

a woman who can't come out to her family because she might get disowned and put through conversion therapy: I sleep

a hypothetical white man being sad bc his father in law thinks he's a cracker: REAL [bad word]?????????

i reported the entire thread because at that point it had reached a peak of 4 people throwing posts around at each other.
and i didn't say their struggles don't matter, their struggles definitely matter and my heart goes out to them and their girlfriend for not being able to be out to their girlfriend's parents. lord knows coming out when you're single is hard enough. but in terms of having your in-laws hate you because you ARE out to them, that story doesn't really match up
