I am a white American with blonde hair and blue eyes. I was working in Italy and was physically attacked by men while at a bus stop because in that region my features were associated with being 'loose'. After this I shaved my hair off, dyed it brown when it grew back, and wore colored contacts and tanned. I feel ashamed by…
Can people share resources of places that handle or investigate racism and cultural appropriation for companies like glu? If we are being threatened with warnings I think we should issue some warnings of our own
I just got a warning from kalinda that I'll be banned if I keep being disruptive. Sooooo your version of inclusion is to ban those who want mods to actually take a stand against racism? Pretty sure the mods mean they want the forum to be all-inclusive for insensitive and tone-deaf people Also, I literally left my phone in…
Lol I got a stern warning from kalinda for 'being disruptive'. 1) not much of a threat because being deemed unworthy of the mods' space is more of a compliment with how uncaring they are towards POCs and cultural misappropriation 2) I won't be bullied by insensitive mods 3) if you don't want someone being 'disruptive'…
Soooo it's not ok to change skin tones across SYS but ok to change it across accounts? I mean this in the nicest possible way, hence no tagging so just being passive aggressive towards the wind
Seriously EVERY SYS someone finds a way to appropriate another culture or skin tone. I would love even the slightest proactiveness from mods with reminders to respect culture and be empathetic with people who feel as if their culture or skin tone has been used in a disrespectful way. But that would require caring. I…
Glu has inclusivity issues. Period. The silence of mods on this forum speaks volumes Also, I sent proof of a doll involved in racial insensitivity being a hacker (they have items from older TS but also starlet kollection which was only for new dolls) to mods and nothing has been done. Hackers they are fine with apparantly,…
AHEM. So since cussing is allowed towards people along with cultural insensitivity and misgendering imma speak my mind. Moderation needs to get its SHIT together. If you stand for nothing than you will fall for anything, so these mods are so far underground they are making it rain on lil Nas while he snatches the crown…
The optics are also horrible that there was no intervention in the forum while this discussion was occurring and zero attempts to even say "please respect other people's feelings about appropriation ". None. On top of that, we had been asking you repeatedly about curse of the 60 and threads kept getting deleted-BUT if you…
@KalindaKing The fact is Char was warned for bringing up concerns about cultural insensitivity. How is that right and promoting inclusion? Char was the one banned because she was rightfully upset at being warned and asking for your boss's contact? That's moderating people, not moderating forums. If you don't want your boss…
Just throwing it out there that it is entirely possible for one POC to be racially insensitive towards other POCs so that excuse is sooo tired. It's just another version of the "I have a black friend so I can't be racist" BS
Guess we know which side moderation is on...hint:not the one that stands against racial insensitivity. Sending complaints wherever possible and peacing out to discord so feel free to ban me. Love how mods are supportive of this but not one word of defense for POCs. You are on the wrong side of history
