Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
All he has to do is ahelp them if anything rulesbreaky happens. Otherwise, harassing and lying about what they do and are is really, really lovely and unfunny. If you don't wanna deal with them, go play a separate department or something. And I don't know. People get REALLY, WEIRDLY worked up about anime. But Book Seller Honda-san is amazing because it captures retail life well. Not a lick of fan service and book people are hilarious.

Edit: He's basically calling for harassments and that's really not okay.

It's only been a few months since I last played SS13 and apparently poo poo's gotten pretty wild. I mean, I don't really care if a couple weirdos wanna be non-ERP anime lovebirds in the farting spaceman simulator* but this whole thing sounds so unlike what usually happens on Goonstation that it's kinda confusing me. Like, how did they come to this decision, and why on Goon, of all servers? I mean, the strict "no Nazis" policy is probably a good selling point that most servers don't have, but it's not like Goonstation has ever been anything but mildly (and often hypocritically, if we're being honest) disdainful of anime.

*And, to be clear, being a weird E-stalker trying to get them brigaded is way worse and way creepier.

To be clear, they're not wearing the moeblob masks and going "~uguu sempai-chan" in the hallways. The reason they are being referred to as 'anime' repeatedly is because they have fancy hair with bright colors. That's literally it.

Pretty much. I've seen a lot of people go 'lol colored hair=anime bitch'. It's weird. And yeah, he was trying to summon a greytide by lying about what he was seeing. They're harmless, and a lot of peeps have colored hair. In space.

I kinda wish I had the time to log in and grief the poo poo out this guy (within the limits of the rules, of course), for trying to make a big deal out of something so banal. Though, I haven't seen much in the way of random players talking poo poo about weird hair colors. Like, I run with random appearance in my options, so there are many rounds where I've got Technicolor Goku Hair, and I've never been accused of being anime.

Yes, the Goon server should be as unfriendly as possible. We should make sure everyone feels unwelcome, and generally make the environment deeply hostile. This is definitely a good idea and not exactly the kind of toxic behavior that makes online gaming lovely and bad. I enjoy a good round of griffing as much as the next person, but the target should be actually deserving of it, like people who casually use racial slurs.

I bet PDAs are really unsanitary, being clipped the belt of beings prone to falling, vomiting, bleeding, and pissing all about the place and all.

So when are we getting a 'fouled' PDA sprite?

Even if I could get past the kissing emotes and laying on top of eachother poo poo from these players, there is a meta aspect of two characters being "married" and seemingly cooperating every round that just doesn't feel right to me.

If this was true, which it's not, why are you watching them do this and then narrating the supposed events on a SomethingAwful forum thread? That's creepy as poo poo, dude, even if it's to complain about it. And now you're claiming they're metagaming or something? Please, contact an admin if you think something actually sexual or hosed up is happening, otherwise you're just stirring the pot.

Ion Storm-Rainbow and Constance Rainbow-Storm literally refer to themselves as "married anime girls" I didn't make it up for them based on bullshit. I don't want them harassed, I think they are actually good players. I would just prefer them to be told to stop meta-gaming and kissing eachother on the station. And I won't ahelp it because I fear retribution from discord culture pubbie admins.

I am not about to set out a philosophical argument for why I think it's weird to repeatedly roleplay sincere romantic relationships in a comedy game about farting wizards who stuff space engines full of weed, but again this is maybe why I stick to #2

gently caress off with that. There's quite often more important things to worry about on an average round, and most players nowadays simply don't care. You can rant all you want here about how server culture has grown degenerate and this would never have happened Back in The Day[/i], but that's not going to accomplish anything besides making people think you're a sad weirdo. I haven't heard a single convincing argument against them besides "ew feeeeelings are inherently icky" and that's an argument that I grew out of at the age of five.

Hi I've been an admin longer than a couple younger players have been alive, and I have never once given a gently caress about the sort of affection that you can get away with in a church foyer. The metagaming is a concern, sure, adminhelp that. If you were to adminhelp that you saw two players emoting holding hands or exchanging a kiss on the cheek or whatever benign nonsense you're furrowing your brow about, i would absolutely tell you to solve the problem by not paying attention to it. We live in hell world and everything's on fire and we're all going to die from climate change or rampaging fascists anyway, there is no harm in a couple lonely souls giving each other a moment of something that can be mistaken for joy in a 2d spaceman game about farts as long as they keep it clean.

that was what I was getting at by "humiliation", I could probably have been clearer - reading back I can see how my earlier posts probably look like I wanted it to be some bannable offense, which wasn't my intention.

Apologies for the miscommunication, I hope people that know me in-game know I wouldn't carry out grudges or act maliciously. I'd have great fun pranking the nerds and getting the Chaplain to put them on religious trial for holding hands outside of marriage, but I'm not going to murder them or whatever.
