This is something I feel needs to be addressed within the community.
I used to do 'Racist RP' if you want to call it that a while ago. Used to play 'Alabama N*****' on the TV, pick black players up (
@rogue ,
@Danny ) and make them pick cotton in the farm. It was a few years ago but I'm pretty sure I dropped a few hard R's or other racist words. It was never excessive though, and was only used to emphasise the character I was role-playing.
The difference is, I knew the limit. You see now where people are spamming and saying the word, along with other slurs constantly in scenarios which couldn't even be considered roleplaying as a 'racist'.
Plantation owner whipping his slaves whilst they pick cotton? That roleplaying as a racist.
Raiding someone with your org and calling the enemies/cops all N******? That's you being a irl racist.
People here who are pretending they RP as a racist just so they can spam the N word is a pathetic excuse to cover up intentional racism. Whilst I don't think it was be plausible or enforceable to ban the words entirely, there should be rules stating the extent and context in which it may be used. And being arrested by a black cop or killed by a black (or even white, they'd still use the word) player is not one of those reasons.
And for the record. As unique and as funny we found the slave/racist RP, I look back on it now and physically cringe that such words came out my mouth. It's one thing to type it, but to sit there and speak it is just wrong.
