I don't get what Firewrath typing out a racial slur has to do with Li losing VIP.

masterjoe42 · 05-11-2008, 06:36 PM

Neither do I but...oh boy, Li's losing VIP? I still don't see why though. Li's like the (excuse my geek-ness) Mr. Spock of GG.

**Li-Shun** · 05-11-2008, 06:46 PM

o_@..it's not like that.

Unless I inspired the wrath of the GG Gods, I'm not losing anything, I might ask to be green. That's it. No harm, no foul.
..or I can just remain yellow and do what I should have done in my head- disassociate.

..yes, that would have been smarter xD

Li, I told you if he said anything, it wasn't something he meant.. :( :( :( :(

Here's the thing, when I met him, he was making jokes about things that were a bit harsh, but I got to know him better and I know he doesn't mean any of the crap he says if its hurtful.. He is just that way. No matter how far he may go with a joke, if he is asked he will stop..

Just give him a chance, please D: (And, I'm not talking about the VIP thing, I'm talking about as a person. Also, I see no reason for you to quit VIP D:!!!!!!

Where I am from, people don't go around making harsh, radical generalizations about stereotypical racial features in a derogatory manner to look "cool" until you ask them to stop. I'm sort of kindly asking people to try to understand that what's considered acceptable behaviour in your backyard, 2D or 3D, may not be the same on the other side of the planet. Because it just isn't. No matter how it's attempted to be justified, bent, compounded or veiled, it won't fly here by any stretch or twisted contortion of the imagination. And the general response in my experience to what I just said is "Well if you can't get with our side of the planet then just GTFO! D:!11" (the awesome thing for everyone is that ..I WILL)*
But I'll say this now, I *do* believe I'm the odd man out. If anyone is wrong, it's me for not being able to fit into the "box" here. So, yeah, I said no- I explained why. That's that.
My opinion probably won't matter, it won't carry any weight, no one will give a shit, no need to care.
I'm really sorry to have inconvenienced anyone, or make anyone think, etc. It's just my vote, and my reason which undoubtedly won't affect anyone else.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I can still just "disassociate". I'll work on it. I'm sure I'll get better at it with practice.

I am different, too. I was taught to correct my wrongs the best I could, but that they'd also still be wrong. I don't know if you know the lesson of the plank. You put a nail into the plank, but do a good deed to correct it and make it right. After done, take the nails out, but the bad will still be there to poke at you. Yeah, good lesson to teach children.

He's already apologized to you, more than once. I don't know what else you want him to do, Li.. Honestly. He is not racist and me, being a mutt of all mixed races that speaks Spanish would tell you that in all honesty.

People can forgive and forget. Were you taught that, where you are from? Because, I really hope so. He is Russian and there are a lot of Asian-descent Russians there, I don't know if you know that. They look like they are white but have Asian features; cute little babies, if I might add XD

Also, I already said that I am not trying to persuade your vote, I just want you to know that he didn't mean anything towards you. Also, why do you think it has to do with you saying yes? I know your mind is set on saying no, and I respect that. And, tell me, if I didn't care about what you say... Would I bother replying? No.

Other than that, we were at a network where there was an admin called Alan Wong. He is Asian. He lives in AUS. I called him Wongytang, Chinaroo and God knows what other names joking around with him and he knew I was just joking. I told him many things that I don't tell other people. He was a good friend, but then he got admin and shit went downhill because the power went to his head.
(Also, thanks to the Script kiddies that pissed him off) So, he was beginning to be rude and I stopped talking to him. Anytime after, he was just weird. But, that's besides the point.

What I am trying to say is that I just hope you don't let that hurt you, for none of it was meant and he was just joking. And, yes, I saw the thread. I would pm you, but I don't think you'd be interested in reading my pm. If you want me to edit out this post, I will.

@__o..I'm think I'm going to cry (that's not being sarcastic, it's out of my own frustration at my inability to communicate, as it seems to not have been understood). No disrespect intended lil, but I think this thread has probably already had more than enough of this. Sorry for the trouble everyone.

Kyo · 05-12-2008, 04:25 AM

here's what I have to say, but be prepared it is both insensitive and inappropriate:

Boo hoo, so he made a joke on the cost of your race. big fucking deal.

Doctor said he hates all germans and that we're bad or something in another thread, so what? I still think he's a pretty cool guy, people need to get the sticks out of their asses and learn to take a joke, because being overcautious about racism is a bad thing too

**Bunneh** · 05-12-2008, 09:06 AM

While I agree with Kyo, and my own sense of humor runs of the rougher, politically incorrect side of things at times, I see where Li is coming from. I missed the incident in question, but I think that if he felt offended and thinks that Fire went too far, then we should respect that opinion and draw a line.

**LordGrievous** · 05-12-2008, 01:21 PM

Well, while Li is the odd man out, and hell I love making jokes at the expense of religions/races, etc. I can't see how some of the shit in Japan is okay and racial slurs aren't.

**Fewmitz** · 05-12-2008, 05:05 PM

I know it's against your culture and all Li, but being politically correct is just too damn, in a word, boring.
