If someone plays a racist in a rpg I'm not going to accuse them of real life racism without something more to go on. And again, its fiction, not real. Algonauts and their ilk are a godawful idea (in a credible p0rovocative and entertaining way that makes for good plots) and would be horrible if they existed but they don't (and possibly can't) so I feel there's allot more leeway in reacting to their fictional condition. But I don't like getting smeared because of something that seems so utterly trivial. Particularly in a hobby where things like the deliberate and methodical assult and killing of thinking beings, theft, grave robbery and desecration and numerous other acts that would be criminal at best and atrocity at worst are fantasized about for fun. The ability to see the difference between fiction and reality seems critical. Quote:

For that matter, the comment didn't demonstrate any such lack of feeling. It was a playful remark directed at another poster. |

Rape isn't cute and rape jokes aren't funny. I am not going to tolerate people trivializing it. If you have a problem with me, put me on your IL.

Who made a rape joke?
And sorry, you only get to decide what is and isn't funny for yourself not for everyone else. And not sharing your opinion doesn't make anyone a "sociopath" or anything else. Quote:

Re: Which sorts of characters are you willing / unwilling to play and why?
It might be a swell idea to do two things:
1. Limit the conversation in this thread to things in this thread. The big dust up seems to be over something not present in this thread. 2. Remember that there are some members of this particular board who are not neuro-typical, and understand that they are going to have problems in areas related to empathy and socially normative behavior. Please try to make allowances.

Re: Which sorts of characters are you willing / unwilling to play and why?
jeff_wilson implied that Vicky's problem with the algonaut was an aversion to "kinky mammal sex". I pointed out that if you think what the algonaut vignette was about (and what algonauts are designed for) is "kinky sex" then you might be a sociopath. Apparently this offends you. Too bad.

What offended me is you labeling a real person a very insulting thing (and by implication me as well since I felt much the same way). |
