    [Birthday] Arrgh turns 6

    in Alliance Affairs

    Posted

    If I had a nickel for every time someone told me Arrgh was dead, I'd have so many nickels that it would probably be time to start thinking about taking them to a Coinstar machine. 

    Were these people just dumb? Ignorant or stupid perhaps? Of course they were, but there was one more important factor.

    They simply despised our way of life and the chaos that we represent. If they had their way then everyone would be bound up in formal agreements, farming to their hearts' delight and only fighting on strict schedules which had been unanimously agreed upon beforehand by all involved parties. 

    Arrgh has existed for six years because of all the people who spit on these awful traditions, who have a fire burning in their hearts that demands more out of life than humble subservience to an Excel-addicted 14 year old Internal Affairs gov member.

    I write these words not with a melancholy nostalgia that reminisces over bank heists past. Rather, with a relentless spirit of individualism and optimism that knows that we shall all gather here again in future years to once more celebrate this anniversary.

    Arrgh!

    Isn't (by the very nature of playing this game) everything technically roleplay?

    Well I wasn't expecting to have to defend a joke but I guess you could say that everything outside of the actual mechanics of the game do indeed constitute role-play. Not literally everything though

    What external characteristics are being judged here? Surely you can see the difference between judging a woman based on her race or ethnicity and judging a player based on their behaviors?

    The reason it is so vile to be a racist or a sexist is because judging someone based on one of their immutable characteristics is wrong. Is it your opinion that people can change their personalities and their identities on a whim? That if the community judges them to be inferior as compared to other people in terms of their identity, they can or should adjust that identity to meet the demands of the community? That constitutes an invalidation and rejection of their personal identity, and I do not believe there is as big of a difference between that and racism as you would like to believe.

    What's sexist and racist about it?

    This thread objectifies the included players in quite a disgusting manner. It implies that us HUMAN BEINGS exist solely to be judged by the community, and that some of us are objectively worse than others. Many young children play this game, and when they look at this thread, they see that judging people based off their external characteristics is apparently an acceptable thing to do in this community. In fact, they will see that the head administrator explicitly sanctioned such action. Have you considered how it feels to be a part of this thread without receiving any votes? It is incredibly dehumanizing, to have the community tell you that you are worth less than another person. This is targeted discrimination, it is degrading, and this thread should be locked immediately.
