Ideally these people would just not exist, but if this subforum has to pull double-duty as a honeypot for racist imbeciles then so be it, we'll all be better off

i wonder what martin luther king would think about humanity creating a technology which allowed us all to communicate and swap ideas without the race of the people communicating being taken into account as they are behind a computer screen and we still gently caress that up completely by having opted into racially segregated threads and subforums.

Opted in? The Negrotown and Misogynoir threads were formed because mods wouldn't let posters talk about black issues in "regular" threads.

There was no opting friendo, this thread and forum would not exist if it the D&D mods were more willing to slap people for being lovely about race in the actual forum than create a segregated thread for the people directly affected by the shittiness. gently caress your attempt to put words in King's mouth.

Hey, hold your horses there. I'm just pointing out it is ironic that race is still such a big thing in a theoretically racially anonymous community. I meant, sarcastically, to say that we, as a community, have opted in to the segregation rather than doing things a different way (not literally you guys, or whoever. Though apparently it was the previous D&D mods' fault).

Because Lowtax posted:I just wanted to get that thread out of D&D and dump it somewhere that I'll never have to worry about seeing. Negrotown is an inconvenient problem child to the powers that be, very much like the black inhabitants of this fair nation of ours. Honestly, I was expecting the thread to get locked and its inhabitants to gently caress off elsewheres, not get segregated into its own separate-but-equal subforum.

It's not on the whole surprising that just because a potentially color-neutral mode of communication opened up people wouldn't actually become color-neutral in their behavior; prejudice, stereotyping, and other beliefs that lead to racist outcomes/thoughts/behaviors are learned way before anyone gets access to the Internet. Not to mention that the minute people want to discuss issues that affect black people specifically and how to make them better that color-neutrality goes out the window, and if you want to actually help and not hurt in this regard trying to be race-blind above everything else means you miss the boat on meeting people where they are and land instead smack dab at the coast of making minority issues invisible which is indeed ironically not any better than being a card-carrying racist in a lot of ways.

Not, oh, tolerance for the occasional innocuous shitpost and the ability to move on (ideally in good humor) like fully functioning adults, nope - instead just witch hunt, micromanage, or remove anything that slightly inconveniences your exact vision of the perfect "safe space" on an open subforum within these fairly large dead gay comedy forums. This'll be a flexible and practical strategy moving forward, surely, and without any potential fallout! Mercilessness - the future of Negrotown, long may it live.

This is not 'the occasional innocuous shitpost' right now. This is 'crapping up the subforum like gagelion did in GBS'. Why should you get any more leeway? Why should your sense of humor be privileged above those of the people who were corralled in here?

I hope so many bans get handed out that Lowtax thinks he just won the lottery when the money from re-regs starts showing up. These crackers ain't content to just be Ritz brand anymore now that PoC got their own subforum; they're going straight up Saltines. e: also in case anyone thinks this sub isn't a proper ghetto, the property values in our new e-bronx be so low, even the trolls here be some low rent motherfuckers.

It was a statement of pragmatism: most people on the forums wont be bothering this subforum out of racism, but out of the absurdity of the premise. Never before have the forums had a subforum dedicated to a specific set of racial politics. So long as the subforum exists, shitposters will probably target it (at less regular intervals than now, sure) and it would save everyone some headaches to conceptualize those instances as Stuff That Doesn't Matter. It's gonna happen, it's not a big deal, and taking it in stride is probably in the best interest to ensure the longevity of this subforum and not attract further shitposting. There's better places on the internet for this kind of discussion if you don't want shitposts to be an ever-present possibility. If this is going to be taken as an unreasonable set of ideas (read: inevitabilities), then I can almost certainly assure you that Negrotown will never be at peace with itself. Lots of people are watching, so gracefulness rather than "mercilessness" is my utmost suggestion.

Koalas March posted:You're acting like we asked for this I don't mean to assign blame, but the behavior of people and especially goons is fairly predictable. I get why some people would want a space to talk about things of this nature, and I understand that the subforum thing may not have even been the wish of the posters. I'm briefly being honest here when I say that if this'll be a thing, it might as well be done well. Giving people who blatantly shitpost a reaction just perpetuates the kinds of issues one would expect here, it's within the nature of those people. Is it lovely that it tends to work that way? Depends on who you ask, but that's just the story I've seen play out plenty of times in different corners of the internet where people congregate.

Lowtax posted:Okay how about this: Negrotown can have its own subforum, and KM can mod it. and then like ten posts later Lowtax posted:Okay cool, I have zero problems with that, I'll do it now. This after two people actually said yes, and one person said nah. None of them were KM! I'm sure the comment he made in the QCS thread where I posted about the making GBS threads up of the subforum that he did this to get rid of the thread in D&D has nothing to do with how swiftly he went ahead on this. Also Santa Claus exists and is my friend.
