Okay, I’m popping back in here to say something, and idc if i lose followers for it. I’ve been seeing a LOT of people play galar muses, and fine, whatever even if we don’t know much about them do what you want. but what is NOT okay is the fact that so many people are roleplaying these galar muses as, quite frankly, casually racist. I don’t care if your muse is a little shit, that does NOT give you an excuse to continually insult any ethnicities whatsoever or express racist views.
while it’s fictional, it’s still racism because so many muses, if not all but most unova muses, are poc. And because all Pkmn regions are based on irl locations, that has even WORSE implications. The one I’ve been seen getting it the worst is Alolan muses continuously referred to as “alolans are just freaks” “all alolans are hooligans” “all alolans are disgusting brutes” “alolans just dance all day in skirts” & so on, insulting the muses & their home land and then going “oh don’t be a baby about it! mun doesn’t condone muse actions UWU” is BULLSHIT!
That doesn’t change the fact that your muse is openly discriminating another! Nor does it change the fact that you’re harassing them for simply calling a different region home! especially when the reason for having your muse doing so is because another muse jokingly said “haha galar fashion is weird” or “haha, your accent is funny” or whatever!! You can’t just be AGRESSIVE & go feral and start dragging ppl because of their ethnicities, real life or fictional or otherwise! And calling them slurs / whatever else over another muse making a jab at you? NOT. OKAY. Having your muse get pissed because someone got RIGHTFULLY ANGRY when they experienced microaggression / blatant racism and blaming it on them makes no sense to me. The Mun AND Muse that experienced the micro aggression ( ic or otherwise ) has a right to be upset, and YOU DON’T.
when you realize that, because we know literally NOTHING about these muses, that means YOU, as the MUN, are actively choosing to write your muses as racist & microagressive. Think before you write your muses, or you know, don’t write them at all. Nobody wants to come to RP to experience racism. And I know i’ve used that word alot, but i cannot EXPRESS how much this is important!!! Please recognize that it’s NOT okay to write this, ESPECIALLY when your only justification is that your character can be an ass! That’s not good enough reasoning for the things your muse says, and it really starts to blur the line between mun and muse. If anything?? It feels like self projection, considering that you as the mun are the one baking their personalities & actions right now. So, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; Just because your muse is a “little shit” or otherwise doesn’t give you a free pass to put racist views into your character.
