- If you make a black American character who exists in the last decade who talks like fucking Isaac Hayes in Truck Turner. The 70s are over, my friend!
Not to derail from talking about Ruiz but I think you just made me realize I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a black woman character on a MUSH before. Plenty of black dudes; but I can’t remember a single black chick.

@GF Cobalt often plays one. I believe Arx has a few.

I’ve seen a few here and there and when I think about it a little harder, they didn’t strike me as “poorly done” portrayals. Which is cool. I do agree the spread feels uneven though.

Ugh.
My early portrayals of WOC were terrible and rife with internalized racism. I’d like to think I’ve grown, these days if I play a WOC it’s because I found a played by I like who happens to be a WOC or I’m apping into an ic family that is BIPOC rather than me putting on digital blackface.

I don’t remember them being like that when I RPed with you when you played them. To be fair, I don’t try to find stereotype behavior so it could have been or I met you after the racism stuff.
The only mild problem I had with Thundergultch was how some of the people portrayed natives. It was typically the people who played the males more than the ones who played the females. It’s like they just took how TV/movies depicted them and used that as a basis. As far as I could tell, it was not nearly as bad as the movies/TV, though.

I think a lot of us were brainpoisoned by 90s-era White Wolf, and other things in those days. The past was a dark time. Past-me made some ignorant mistakes for sure.
-
@GF There have been a number on Liberation, including a Mage subfaction leader. But you’re right, before Liberation I sure hadn’t seen many.
-
Was told that Addison on Liberation is Ruiz. It may or may not be true. His character type, ooc behavior and writing style do align with Ruiz though.
-
Obligatory reminder that someone acting like a shitbird is always unacceptable, whether or not they are Ruiz.
-
@Laurel Any problem with, or concern about, a player on Liberation should absolutely be taken directly to Sundance. She will listen, and she’s not in the past been afraid to take action.

Yes, she absolutely has. That’s an outright lie. And he knows that personally.
When @Polk pissed all over the game rules while she was away busy with heavy RL stuff and took advantage of her absence to abuse players he got a complete pass. She traded in her integrity on a silver platter for his help running the game when she couldn’t be there, because in comparison, a few players weren’t worth it to her to do the right thing.
She tried to offer solutions and undo the mess that he made, but the damage was done and @Polk got zero consequences.
So it depends on who you’re complaining about. If Addison is more useful to her game than you are, you will probably be shit out of luck.
Adjust your expectations about complaints there accordingly.
-
@Warma-Sheen It’s probably not as sensible as needing his help. Sundance flies into a rage at the ‘accusation’ that she might be doing something unfair or handling anything poorly. Any problem is likely to be taken as such an accusation.
Remember PHBs?

@Argh What’s PHBs? My brain will only supply me with “Player Handbook” and I know that’s not what you’re talking about.

@GF Psycho Hose Beast.

idk if it’s my computer or the audio on this video it’s so quiet I barely caught it, but if you listen very closely you can hear one of the guys mutter “psycho hose beast” in this clip:
