How is this kind of RP allowed?

[HanCloudstone]

I still don't think it's hard to understand at all, so I'll try one more time to convince you.

Here's the bottom line: like I've already said in this thread, this age-old excuse of "it's just roleplay, grow some skin!" is just as BS today as it was five or ten years ago. I know how to separate IC and OOC; the irony is that I don't think you can sit there and tell me the people flinging that level of vitriol around are doing the same thing. I think it's peak hypocrisy to sit on your high horse and take an attitude like yours when I seriously, seriously doubt you or anyone else in their right mind would volunteer to log into a game only to sit there and read 'fascist, fascist, fascist, kill yourself fascist, fascist' over and over again. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but even based off this one post you don't seem like the kind of person who's got any real interest in aligning with the Liberty side in the context of this event -- and if that's the case, maybe I'm not actually all that surprised you don't empathise with what it might feel like. Even reading it as an uninvolved third party is off-putting.

It's pretty easy to blanket accuse people of being too thin-skinned to handle this tough, serious, gritty roleplay, or whatever you want to try and frame it as. It's a cop-out, though, and frankly it borders on victim blaming. It's a lot harder to pace yourself and approach things with any level of nuance.

How do I put it... If this is what I would hear from the opposing side inRP, it would be a sign that my faction was successful as an antagonist. This is literally something to do RP for. Evoking each and every kind of emotional response in all kinds of people.
My friend, treasure this moment, be proud of your faction and, most importantly, keep it up.
Now let's no longer derail a thread devoted to a different issue altogether. If there's something more to be said, this can be taken to a different thread, forum DMs or Discord. Cheers.
