Add important tips here.

My maternal grandfather was a Sub-Saharan African male with jet-black skin. He married a half-White, half-Native American woman, producing my mother and her sisters.

My maternal grandfather's ancestors were also Sub-Saharan Africans who were put on a ship and taken against their will into slavery.

I don't know about my maternal grandmother's family, other than that they were bigots who disowned my maternal grandmother for marrying a black man.

Therefore, my mother is half-black. She is lighter in color than myself, but she identifies as black, after a lifetime of being called The Black Girl, at the insurance company she worked for.

My father's family are all 100% Indians from India. They were all Indian peasants who grubbed in the dirt. I don't really care about them; they more or less disowned my father for marrying a non-Indian woman.

Indians: so racist.

I have no exciting ancestors; I am not descended from Jesse James or Washington.

I am the child of slaves and peasants.

I identify as a black person because I have dark skin, plump lips, a large nose, and when White people or East Asian people are angry at me, they call me "Nigger".

So. I am one of the black WORA Members, along with @goldfish .

I like blonde white females and east asian females; let's get that outta the way so we can move on.

@Chime

Considering how openly hostile White Americans have been (and, to a certain extent, still are) towards Afro-Americans, I understand the Black Female's frustration with the Black Male's fascination with his (supposed) Enemy.

300 years of slavery and 100+ years of segregation, et al., make a very convincing argument on their behalf. I mean, why should we want to ally ourselves with people who once peeled our skins off while we were still alive, hung us by our necks, and many other things that don't bear thinking about?

However, the Official Story is that all of those things happened In The Past, and, therefore, We Should Not Mention Them.

Here are some videos by a black woman that explain these concepts.

She also explains why mixed-race people are A Threat To Society.

Amusingly, she also did a six-part video series concerning the danger East Asian females pose towards Black females, but Youtube took it down. Sadface.

Though I will always have a very soft spot for tall, blonde, athletic women.

According to some black women, tall blonde athletic white women are The Face Of Evil Itself.

I'm no Christian, but, apparently, according to our black sisters, Satan Herself is a white woman.

I've been teaching myself to draw.

I'm also fulfilling my creative writing itch by writing fanfiction.

@cirno and @deadculture Cirno has a host, Cirno need only ask.

Much obliged.

Hey, do you want to play with my African Alternate Universe FS game?

You can roll a black woman with large breasts who is a Space Admiral. (Just a suggestion.)

Some trivia:

In my 25 years, I have had the racial epithet "nigger" directed at me by:

• Whites
• Chinese
• Japanese
• Hispanics
• Native Americans

Yes, I am, in fact, keeping score. I am indeed one of those Tremendously Bitter Black People who sincerely believe that other races are openly hostile to us.

Wow, WTF... No black people tossed that word at you? I'm not black and I get called nigga on the DAILY.

"nigga" != "Nigger".

One is an endearing term (that should be phased out).

The other is a hateful racial slur.

Also, I hope to god you don't use the word "nigga" . Like, at all. Ever.

Non-blacks who use the term need to have their shit slapped hard.

You don't have a lot of black friends, or you would know this.

I once played a Star Wars game where a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter walked around in designer blue jeans, a tee shirt that read something like Mandos Do It Best, and had a vast assortment of lip gloss colors.

Canonically, Sabine Wren from Disney's Star Wars Rebels is like this.

However, this may only underline to you just how much Disney has wrecked the canon.

@ThatOneDude Everyone knows brown people don't have jobs. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Oh wait, I'm white so I do.

White people have made me so afraid to compliment a black woman on anything. It's racist to mention hair or skin or anything. I gave up. I listen to my hip hop loud, I tell a girl when her weave is amazing and that I'm jelly how certain colors look sooooo good against their skin.

Aside from the racism factor, there is another reason why black women would be hostile towards you.

Certain Black women are bitterly angry at you and your white female compatriots for 'stealing their men'. They believe there is a secret Conspiracy among white females to interpose themselves between the black woman and the black male.

Ironically, white males think the same thing. They call it "Miscegenation", instead of "stealing black men", however, but it accounts to the same thing.

I have always said that black women and white males should form a Consortium of some sort; with the goal in mind of Preventing Black Men From Attaching Themselves To White Females.

Well, that escalated quickly.

I wonder if anyone told that guy that he could have just gone to Shang or Taps or FS if he was desirous of that.

In all seriousness? He does.

On Shang, he asks for consent for a scene with certain parameters that are reasonable, gets it, and then proceeds to do something that vaguely follows that format but goes so far beyond what was asked for and granted permission that I know of at least two instances of players either having to call in support from faction/establishment authority figures of some kind or disconnect to avoid him, since if you point out that he's gone beyond what he has permission for (which will be by miles, not inches), he will immediately accuse you of creating drama, going back on your word, and being unreasonable. Never mind that the other player was asked, "You cool with a scene where you're tied to a chair and teased?" and what was then posed involved engaging setting NPCs (not under his control) to aid in tearing her apart and raping her character to death with demonic weirdness and brutal, mutilating torture and gore. He doesn't see anything wrong with this. (I was the poor fucker who ran the establishment where he tried this who had to look over the logs I was sent in case the player needed IC assistance or asked if we could use the code we had for the business to ban him from the premises.)

This is not the kind of player this hobby needs, but... yeah, in terms of escalating quickly? So much 'unfortunately, yes, pretty much that.' Just not how one would expect. Basically, he found a whole new way to be abusive and horrible even with what the standards of behavior are for Shang.

I started out being merely shocked and appalled at this guy's behavior.

Now I'm just completely horrified.

People like him are partially why I left Shang. I have run into so many versions of that guy. I began to consider myself lucky when a scene actually went through the way it was described. While I'm good at spontaneous RP, you can count on me not to get tremendously weird, to stop when requested without taking it personally, and other basic forms of respect towards the other player.

Furthermore, my scenes always go exactly as I describe.

I also got real sick and tired of people on Shang who like gruesome, gory stuff like that. I can recall numerous people who enjoy things like that approaching me, and then guilt-shaming me with "But no one else likes this!"

Either they're lying, or they are actually one person with thousands of alts. I go to Shang to get away from playing at all the mutilation and death in the Medieval War and WoD games I play, not to have more of the same.

I've got no particular objection to RP'ing out one of my characters drinking horse semen, unless we are on a game where TS is forbidden. Like, if @Ghost respectfully asked me to bring my female character over to their place to drink a mug of horse jizz from their giant throbbing horsecock, I'd say, "Sure."

We'd be like this:

That doesn't mean people should be bugging other female players who aren't amused by that particular set of fetishes, however.

Watching people purposefully put themselves through all kinds of mental gymnastics to try to purposefully misinterpret the BLM movement is fun, especially when they blather on about unrelated nonsense for several paragraphs and think that will fool anyone but a baby.

Their message comes through, clear as a bell:

I am upset that black people are doing things!

It can be reduced even further:

I am upset about black people!

These are probably the same people who think that "/Lazy/ Illegal Aliens are stealing our /Jobs/..."

Absolutely.

They probably also think the law enforcement officers are doing a good job, and that shooting an unarmed black man twenty times is a cool bean.

People who are against BLM are just....ugh.

I'm for BLM, but against that subgroup who are using it to segregate colleges and harassing white people for being white (being white automatically makes you racist to some of them). It's a very fine edge to walk...It's hard too to be for something and against something in different ways. Especially because it's hard for me to put my feelings down in writing, it always comes out wrong.

There are lots of white people in BLM, though.

I don't condone the harassment, but one should consider the following: a number of white people have been harassing black people for being black for centuries, now, and little was done in the way of prevention.

In fact, they are still doing it. Some of them conceal their racism under a polite mask of pretending to be offended by "tone", or implying that a black person is being "disrespectful", or "divisive", or "offensive", whatever the hell that means, or just generally being as contrarian and disapproving where black people are concerned - disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.

Academics have dubbed this pathological sort of behavior as "microaggression".

@Cirno I'm laughing. You can't hear it but I'm laughing. LOL be er means the person is actually laughing out loud, but I got a good laugh out of this.

Thanks for the good addition to the morning, Cirno.

I made two people on WORA laugh today.

Today was a good day.

I hate Deadpool because he is basically 4chan: the Superhero.

"I'm Deadpool and I am SO RANDOM~! XD LOOK AT ME, I AM WACKY AND RANDOM! SOOOOO RANDOM! [throws sporks at people]"

But the general RPer doesn't want to have their sexy little relationships or noble lives fucked with.

I don't understand this bullshit, because if I want to have teh TS, I can go to Shang.

I go to other games to do Serious Business. Hence why I am not inclined to disobey games that ban TS. It's like, why do that when there's tons of TS games?

There's a goddamn My Little Pony TS game.

I am also not a big fan of black people who say things like, "We should distance ourselves from white and Asian and Latino people, forever!"

Why? What does that do?

They usually reply lamely with how white people segregate themselves, to which I ask them if we're gonna actually be Pro-Black, or just imitate white people with a thin veneer of African culture.

And then the shit hits the fan because black people don't like being questioned or debated, ESPECIALLY by other black people.

Edit: I especially don't care for this attitude because it increases hostility from other races.

Like, I bump heads with Asian people who tell me that "black people only care about themselves", and I am like, no, not really.

Or the white people who mockingly say " Oh, you're problack? You must hate whitey! Kill whitey! LMAO!"

And that's just not true.

Even @Thenomain accused me of "hating whitey".

I have been known to type about cocks entering vaginas(and divers other orifices), yes. On the Internets, even.

What of it?

That awkward feeling when the lady who is working with you on employment so you can get food stamps and medical care insists you just need Jesus and to be positive to fend off depression. She also does this while quietly insisting I not tell anyone.

With all due respect, I need medication and therapy.

I have a friend like that.

"Everything can be solved with JEEZUS!"

Is Jesus gonna help me get my High School Diploma? What's his teaching credentials like? Does he have a record? Seriously.

FinnXPoe is my OTP.

Over the last 12 months I have made on-and-off attempts to dive back into Mushing, but I have noticed a culture change since the days of yore. Gone are the days where you can hit the grid and randomly find public RP, and interact with people you won't normally socialize with. The spheres are now more insular. RP, when it happens, is primarily private. OOC chatter is the new norm. Stories and plots only take place at scheduled events, almost disconnected from "normal RP". Somewhere along the way, the spontaneity of RP and story has been lost.

I hope this trend turns around. I say this not because I'm an old-timer longing for the 'good ol' days', but realistically in a world of flashy MMORPGs and other entertainment options that offer instant gratification, Mushing needs to be more welcoming and more exciting to stay competitive in attracting and retaining players. Falling into the role as a glorified chatroom is the exact opposite of what this hobby needs to be.

Personally I've stopped trying. It's a bit sad and disappointing, but after 20 years Mushing has lost that spark of wonderment for me.

I'd just like to also testify that I have also observed this paradigm shift in these games. I've been playing for about 10 years or so, with a recent very long break, which I am now trying to bring to an end, but I am also not really enjoying the new scene. I remember people walking around on the grids of games, doing stuff circa 2006 or thereabouts.

I enjoyed this, because it was more organic and felt more realistic - the spontaneity resembled life. You really became absorbed into your character. You were forced to improvise on very short notice. It was tremendously immersive.

Nowadays, when everyone plots a scene and then plays through it, it feels like you're just going through the movements. You are harshly aware of the fact that you're just playing a game, instead of experiencing a living, breathing world with real people in it. The immersion is halved, or perhaps even removed.

I die a little on the inside when I suggest RP to someone and they say "But first, let's decide what our characters are going to do!"

And I am like, "Uggggggghhhhhhh....just put our characters in one location and let's just see what happens, already!"

I've talked to other people about this and they have said similar things, so it's not just me and Scissors.

Also, the hobby is not done. It has just changed substantially. A lot can happen in ten years.

There is a My Little Pony mush. It's got over a hundred people. That proves that there are new people in the hobby who want to do things, because you can't tell me that the regular MU* community was nursing a deep desire to roleplay being a chubby pony all these years.

When I found out there was a MLPMush, I knew that those who had uttered the prophecies on the old WORA were right - MU*ing will never die.

I am now firmly convinced that when we achieve jack-into-yer-skull direct-brain-simulation PC gaming, you'll be able to brain-jack yourself into an environment with a black screen and grey words so that you can MU*.

The future will be awesome.

Anyway, go play on the MLPMU*s. They're jam-packed with people, and they're super easy to find partners on.

I haven't been on them, but gee whizzzzz, have you seen the MUDStats pages for the MLPMU*s? Those things really cook! Their activity levels are totally off the fucking chain.
