"5.7 While you may be racist, sexist, and discriminatory IC, do not do this to excess or if it doesn’t fit your character’s roleplay. These actions must under no circumstances carry over to OOC."
[/quote]
I thoroughly +support this rule being implemented. Racism and sexism is of course bad but during RP it can make it appear much deeper and can add some shock value to arguments. I don't believe this will cause any arguments if the admins monitor this and ban people if they are just being blatantly racist or sexist for no reason and it has nothing to do with who they are RPing as.
As for the people who don't want this rule implemented for the reason "it will hurt peoples feelings"; remember that level in MW2 called "No Russian"? That offended people and actually caused people to protest the company but it eventually died down and that level is now extremely memorable to players due to the extreme level of graphic nature, I feel it will be the same for this, it will be hype for a while but eventually it will just be seen as a way to have more risqué RP's and lead to memorable arguments and roleplays.
Imagine this:
>Badass gangster rolls into town and heads into the bar
>He enters and slaps a girls ass
>Fight happens
>"Banned for sexism"
Not realistic is it.
Now imagine this:
>Badass gangster rolls into town and heads into the bar
>He enters and slaps a girls ass
>She turns around and throws her drink at him
>Her boyfriend starts arguing with him
>Shootout occurs
That would make a good RP.
