Serious because this is the internet, etc.

Really though, I think a line has been crossed here and I know that I'm not the only one who thinks so based on Skype conversations, so I'm bringing this up. I'm all for unrestricted RP, but this I find unacceptable. I know a few people who have been attacked or killed by Al Qaeda and a few others who in turn know people who fall under the same category. This, to be frank, is a slap in the face.

We won't allow Nazi RP because it's too edgy. Why in the hell do we allow the same thing with a Middle Eastern paint job on it? If the ethics of the group aren't a bother, then at least discuss the method in which they are portrayed.

Mudd got all sorts of flak and was called racist for playing a Kusari and saying "Herro" in a post. Yet once the turbans and neo-Middle Eastern terrorists show up, shouting "YALALALALA!" is perfectly acceptable, not in any way an exploitation of a stereotype and impossibly conceived as racist.

So I ask the community, what do you think about them? These are my thoughts.

P.S. And I swear to Jassy,
The first person to go, "Zomg, zoner Q_Q" in my thread is getting punched.
The first person to spam/+1 with "YALALALA" gets hanged.

This is a legitimate petition of opinions from the community and a publication of what I perceive as wrong.

Don't call Middle Easterners 'turbans'. That's racist.

I believe he was referring to the headgear, and not using the word as an insult.

Been attacked by them IRL, been to funerals for those that have as well.

As for [A] they're trolls with freinds so they get away with it.

As for your no spam request, good luck, the mod response to spam is to lock a thread not to moderate.
