Creative 'Banning' of "Mental asylums/mental hospital" rps

[crayondrippings]

You're completely going off topic of my point, I never said there cannot be complex topics, Im not talking about movies and media and one scene from them, Im talking about that this roleplay makes some people uncomfortable including me and that I believe this is how we can get rid of that uncomfort, but I am not going to force you to change your mind because I cannot do that, we have different ideas.

Banning the roleplays is actually offensive. Because why? They talk about a topic that people that play the server have? Removing the roleplays because they portray real live events and banning them for it makes the people who actually have it feel like they have no freedom in the server to talk about what they have with other people because they feel like they might get banned for it. That is completely offensive in my part and the people who actually have mental illnesses parts!

Should high school roleplays be banned because they inaccurately portray bullying?
Should some medieval roleplays be banned because they incorporate traditional law, which can offend others despite it being normal for the time? You can't censor things until no one remembers them, you need to get it out in the open until people are comfortable with it.

If you never step foot in water, you'll never learn how to swim.

I also have mental illnesses so your point? It's not an option to talk about a topic they have in those roleplays your in cells with staff you're acting like you're in a mental hospital, you have the right to talk in msgs about this topic because like you said other people have it, There are also places off partyzone to talk about it and you trying to portray me as not having mental illnesses, I find that very rude. So don't because I have said that that these people I am talking about and who they feel uncomfortable also have these illnesses, it's not offensive to ban it, Because what you're basically saying to me is that you value your freedom and fun in these roleplays over people who do not like how they are portrayed within them, and the actual real life hospitals (because like I said my mother worked in them and they are not like the ones I have) I am not saying you are bad for your opinion this is just how we feel about it

Some asylum roleplays actually teach you about them and how to respect people who have that. Its offensive to get rid of them, in my opinion, because you will never know how to respect people who have the illnesses

I also have mental illnesses so your point? It's not an option to talk about a topic they have in those roleplays your in cells with staff you're acting like you're in a mental hospital, you have the right to talk in msgs about this topic because like you said other people have it, There are also places off partyzone to talk about it and you trying to portray me as not having mental illnesses, I find that very rude.

Not all roleplays portraying these aren't about "having fun" or "making fun" of them. maybe they want to be in the shoes of the people who have these illnesses. maybe they want to feel what its like to live a day as that person. roleplaying is being able to FREEly be who you want to, and not be afraid to show yourself. You just assume they roleplay as a mental illness patient because they want to make fun of them or just have fun in general. How would you know?

Roleplays are editied for the fun of the player, they are not built within real situations, just a topic that does exist or did exist in this society, This is not about those roleplays, yes some are forgetting the reality of the situation but I'm sure that is for their own comfort because say if I was building a medieval roleplay lets say why would I include the burning of witches, that being gay is "sin" because that would not make me comfortable? are you saying it should all be realistic? but lets stay on topic of this roleplay yeah? Because this is about mental health not bullying or laws

So if people can be in the shoes of mental health, they also have the right to portray them offensively? Roleplay is for fun because you can show yourself, roleplay is an open thing yes but if it makes people uncomfortable why should it be allowed, homophobia is not allowed on this server lets say, am I going to roleplay as a homophobe? no because that wouldn't make me comfortable

I agree with ohBunny on this. Getting used to this certain sensitive material is like a vaccine. If you never take one, you'll be scared of the pathogen you're entire life and will be constantly making sure it can never get to you. But if this disease is introduced in healthy and small amounts, then you'll gradually build up a tolerance to it, and it won't affect you anymore.

This is what snowflakes need. They need have a small amount of heat applied to them until they're resistant to it

Your talking about staying on topic, but if we don't provide examples of other real life situations then it just gives you the upper hand in this situation.

I am not trying to get the upper hand, I am not trying to prove you wrong because I get your point, I don't find some jokes about autism offensive because I have it, but there are some things I do find offensive, I am not trying to act like a "saviour" this is just my mere feelings on this place and I can see why you disagree and I know you're not in the wrong for this

Nobody said they were going to roleplay as a person with a mental illness to portray them offensively. I have never heard anyone say they will roleplay as a mental illness patient JUST to offend them.
