  1. So you deride the racism card when someone is offended, but then play the reverse racism card? Strange. When a non-African pretends to be an African and does so by speaking in silly broken English the perception is that their intelligence is being mocked as well. The intent doesn't have to be there for it to be perceived this way. If you don't understand this, then perhaps you've never experienced it, but that doesn't make it less real. I doubt this is Umbutu's intention, and I don't know where he is from. I even think that he should continue posting. It's easy enough for those of us who don't like it not to read it. I'm just appalled that people be so quick to shrug off KenoCore (whom I don't know) for something he very reasonably found to be in poor taste. Since people were claiming that he had no right to speak because his wasn't an African viewpoint, I thought I would offer one. Best of luck in your war Umbutu.
  2. Oh please. He's not speaking a dialect, he's not using zulu words to describe food (Phutu for instance would be the equivalent of saying taco), he's mocking a dialect based on his stereotype of a people group he's quite probably never met. He's role playing and I don't think what he's written is intended to offend, but you're being intentionally thick headed if you don't think mocking someone's accent can be offensive. And before you say anything, no I'm not in a college dorm room, and yes I do live in Africa. I do not speak English with an African accent, but many of my friends do, and don't like being mocked. Ubuntu may be zulu in RL, but odds are he's a white kid in college having a laugh at the brown people who talk funny. There's a perception of implied stupidity when rich white people pretend to be African and type in silly broken English. He's RP, and he's quite witty, we should enjoy it and he should post how he wishes - but let's not mock KenoCore for perceiving offense where it's quite natural to do so.

  4. Agreed. The TOP front of BiPolar and Karma were the two "best" and "biggest" wars imo. This one is the most enjoyable (and biggest) since then. I really like your Username btw

  7. Congratulations on officially existing again. Best of luck.
  8. Seriously. Stop pissing on them and just piss in them. You'll save time and it's more polite. Welcome to the fight Nor, etc.
  9. I'm sad to see allies fighting each other directly. Welcome to the fight Deinos.
  10. So sorry you don't approve. Perhaps your coalition can provide us with a more suitable opponent?
