Am I allowed to have a somewhat racist attitude towards those players who play as Minmatar based solely on their toon, or is it still a form of unallowed racism?


You are never allowed to display racism towards players, regardless of their character's affiliaiton or lack thereof. Now, displaying racism against the characters is a completely diffrent thing.


So if I decide that I don't like black characters, is that okay?

I guess if you restrict yourself to prejudice described in the lore and only apply it to the appropriate in game races, it would be hard to construct a real life case of racism out of it. Just avoid using terms deemed racist in real life.


Does the EULA make a distinction between RL racism and in game racism?

There is a difference between reality and fantasy. I am sure the GMs acknowledge that difference.

you could just play the game rather than look for ways to use game lore to veil your bigotry

Poor Amarr. Unable to come to grips with the fall of their empire. Constantly overcompensating for their inferiority complex, with their delusional rhetoric, as they decay away in their deserted, Sansha infested, undesirable expanse of space. Truly the saddest example of humanity.

Their ships and weapons kind of suck, too.

I sense an infiltration of the Minmatar ranks here. Many of the words have multiple syllables and the sentence structure shows signs of a quality education.

Something is clearly wrong. This is not Minmatar.

Ah oops. Hold all that. I'm Gallente and can't be thinking like this. My bad.

Carry on.

and..."role playing" as a "pirate" ganking people. ToS. It's like the golden rule. You got the gold, you make the rule.

Wait, theft and gratuitous destruction of private property isn't anti-social. On second thought, I'm moving to Iceland.

As a Minmatar, I roleplay as a Ammatar Mandate Amarr supporter.

Pretty sure there's a real world term applicable to that... Twisted

It's hard to believe that after such a dismal showing at the AT CODE people would still show up and arrogantly throw their imaginary weight around. But, here you go....where I come from we call this "certifiable."

So this has kind of confused me. I have always considered AT a fun side event, but not an alliance defining event. Most people I know couldn't tell you who won the last one.

Has AT become super important and I just haven't noticed?

Just curious to see if you are thinking what popped into my head.

Is it a guy named Thomas, who happens to be the father of a cousin?

If you need to ask this, then you probably don't need to be a part of the discussion.
RPing racist against Minmatar would be no different than RPing racist against elves or some **** in any other MMO.

What can I say? I live in Richmond, Virginia. That title still gets thrown around quite often here.

You filthy little gewn. If you bite like that I'm guessing, not an SA gewn tho. Stop trying so hard.

BTW I've roleplayed a table, lightsabre, wookie, {unmentionable things}, before being kicked and accused of being a gewn
Which I consider discrimination
I was debating starting a highsec RPing Asteroid Corp just to bellow in outrage in local at everyone, but... couldnt be bothered
