Clarification about /accent gypsy

[Devin]

You are all saying to get over it.
We did,multiple times,didnt even report them.
But now it has crossed the line.
Bring me a German guy, i'll call him nazi,let's see if he gets offended or not.

How the fuck does that make sense in your mind? Did a gypsy go murder hundreds of thousands of people of a specific religion? So that's why you're so offended by it?
Bring up the nazi bullshit and I will personally remove you from the server.

[Jeremy.]

It is offensive but if I'm not paying attention that doesn't mean that I'm not being offended. You say it's for "fun" but it's not funny at all. I don't see how making fun of gypsies is amusing you.

You're right. My bad, I apologise. Maybe I took these 'jokes' too serious. It's not like I like it, but, I'll go over it

How is the script designed to make fun of gypsies? Are you honestly going to say a person is not able to roleplay being a gypsy?

Yep. If I would see people roleplaying it instead of trolling I wouldn't "moan" about it right now. You don't understand the meaning of gypsy here and that's not the problem but you just give people more ways to troll. That's what you want?

Who's making fun of the gypsies? Just because there's an accent added for them means we laugh at them?
Every script is made for everyone to have fun, nevertheless people tends to cross the line between the fun and troll, but you know very well what happens to the people that do such things.

You may be right, I may not understand why or how people can take offense to a word that does not even relate to them. However what I can relate to are the racial jokes and discrimination that comes along with living in Africa as well as the nonsense from ignorant parties assuming every person in africa is black. Hell people even joke about water in africa and living in a mud hut. Have I gone and removed them from the server because it is essentially harassment? No, I make a joke of it, find it amusing and move on instead of finding things online offensive and taking the bullshit personally.

there is a retarded accent?
Like wtf?

I doubt that you wish to encourage troll instead of roleplay. Okay, I'm taking it personally but imagine new players, joining from Romania and willing to play on the server are being welcomed by someone using /accent gypsy? I tell you what, he will probably start insulting. That's what you wish to happen? I doubt it, Devin.

My point is, keep the /accent for roleplay purposes not to provoke/offend other players.

In a neutral point of view, I do understand Jeremy and his Romanian buddies. As a Swede - where the immigration has reached quite hilarious amounts of beings - if you're a gypsy, you're most likely to be connected to Romania or Bulgaria. You are quite often just connecting the gypsies and Romanians by normal standard and that's all there is. If I think of a "Swedish" gypsy, I think of Romania, right away, begging outside the supermarket with a cup in their hand.

But the most relevant question is this:
How the frisbee macaroni do you speak with an accent of a gypsy?

[Devin]

Since people find this portion of the accent script too offensive to be within the server I'll speak with teddy about removing that specific accent tomorrow. Ideally people misusing the script could have been reported but let's just remove it.

Keep in mind people do play on the server to have fun, not to be totally strict permanently.

Let's remove every script then since people can be offended by everything

Compromise must be made at times to please others.

The gypsy accent is totally illogical since there's no accent to refer to. If it was a Romanian gypsy accent, or an Irish gypsy accent, the accent itself would be more logical. But having it like it was some sort of general gypsy accent, who can be from Asia to America, I am having a hard time imagining the "accent" of it anyhow.

[Devin]

If we had used Romanian gypsy for an accent there would have been bigger issues which is why it was logically not added.
