Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to be gone for two weeks. When I come back we're starting the roleplay.
 
Another thing. After we start the roleplay and I'm gone for a long period of time for any reason you guys are allowed to still roleplay without me. I won't mind. I'll catch up and read what you all put. I'll figure out what to do with my characters before I leave. Bye, everyone! Have a wonderful next two weeks!
 
How is everyone?
 
 
I've been suckered punch by so many crises over the holiday break and a bit before it's crazy. But I'm hanging in there and ready to get back into it.
 
Is this the main RP thread?

Uh Masky, buddy, I just read your character sheet in full for the first time and, the afro hair thing, I'm not saying it's not sweet that she did that for her dad but like it's kinda cultural appropriation and would damage her hair like badly. Like maybe just make her hair straight if you still need her to be white? Or give her similar hair accessories to her dad?
I'm just saying this cos I'm black and I just feel uncomfortable about it

With all due respect I'm also black and this is simply a case of role-playing and creative freedom. I don't find it as cultural appropriation at all I've known someone adopted by a black family and not being of the same race and wanting to be like their parents isn't "cultural appropriation" it's a bit much to ascribe such a thing to something so innocuous don't you think? I don't believe masky is someone you should be worried about in regards to those things. I mean sure you're right about the hair structural integrity thing but eh that's more suspension of disbelief kind of thing most characters aren't already fully human so whatever.

Well, yes, I see your point and I wouldn't bring this up if I thought Masky was someone I had to worry about cultural appropriation with. I only did this because I thought they were unaware. But see the problem here is:

1) Subtext
2) History behind this subject
3) There are simply other ways to do this e.g learning his native language, dances, wearing clothes, etc

And, while yes, you can argue there is creative freedom in stuff, there's also subtext whether you want there to be or not.
Were lovable robot characters ever made to be caricatures of autistic ppl and thus bring up questions about whether or not we see autistic people as human? No. But it still did. Were ALL flamboyant villains created with the intention of being gay coded and thus having weird implications of how ppl saw ppl who acted 'gay'? No. But it still did.
The problems here are subtext and history and while, yes, I would like to live in a world where I can ignore that, I can't. The subtext is going to be there and it's not going to go away.
And yes, I am aware it's a bit much, it still is that. It's not going to stop being cultural appropriation even if there was good intent like how statements 'I wish I had a gay friend' are never going to stop being inherently homophobic even if you didn't mean it like that.

Also it brings up very strange questions about how she feels about her hair, which again are not intentionally there, but are still brought up
