Hey guys, if this thread continues in discussion of factions, it's going to be locked and archived. It's just faction bashing at this point with no constructive criticism, just pointless opinions to flame at factions they don't agree with. Continue with other topics.

Bruh lmao. No. I hardly have any issues with black chars. The portrayal of black chars on this server is a problem, whether you agree with me or not. I never said it was ONLY black chars. But you will find a lot more well spoken, educated, unaffiliated white, Asian, Italian chars than black chars. 

 

The assumption that all black people speak in ebonics and are uneducated from the gheto is racist. And that's how the VAST majority of chars are portrayed on the server.  Even the black cops I come across mostly speak like a bad 90's hood movie.


tbh u should be careful with that word, its kinda harsh to call players racists just cause they happen to portray a character that u feel like is unrealistic. i've never heard a player complaining who's black irl, weirdly it's always the ones who ain't even black in the first place. if that's racist then all those irl males playing lesbian escorts are sexists and homophobes as well. the gang scene on this server is huge, most gang factions here portray actual irl gangs and in l.a the vast majority of streetgangs are black and hispanic gangs, maybe thats why u feel like theres more "well spoken non black chars" on this server. and btw, u contradict urself by saying that u hardly have any issues with black chars but then u go and complain how the vast majority of black character's portrayal are fueled by racist stereotypes lol

I mean we're not gonna sit here and act like 90%+ of the black chars you run across in game aren't allK bangersK. It's a unpopular opinions thread and maybe it's an unpopular opinion but that shit is kinda cringe. Personally I run across WAY more diverse RP in factions that aren't black. It's an issue I think reaches towards a few races being RPed on the server but the black portion definitely dominates the memes. There's a reason why a lot of people completely stray away from that type of RP. I'm black as shit and I refuse to interact anywhere near Davis anymore. Maybe the issue is that most of the people who RP black chars are mostly interested in criminal RP? Who knows. 

 

For the sake of the topic tho, I hate how almost every crim is basically a fucking serial killer with no mental toll. I rarely ever see down spiral RP.

To single out black characters is just dumb. Most Hispanic gangs here act like they time-travelled back to 80s with their cholo lifestyle and vocabulary of a Mexican immigrant that just crossed the border. Most white gangs here act like they are straight out of American History X. Not even going to mention all the characters that are part of European groups that can't speak any English IC but somehow got 3 cars, 2 houses and a business.

 

Are we gonna sit here and act like 90%+ European characters aren't part of a questionable criminal group? 

 

Overall RP quality here is not the best and people lack proper knowledge when portraying any characters but to single out black characters is just stupid.

I'll be honest. I think you're kissing my original point. It's not the portrayal of black chars in gangs. It's the fact that EVERY black char is gang affiliated.

Not all, but majority of them is, yeah. But I just find it stupid that some ppl label some black chars as "gang affiliated" simply because they talk with ebonics or have a (M) behind their name.

but thats not cause they rp black characters, it's just cause they're noobs. they'd do the same shit if they'd try a different kind of character. i guess gang rp just attracts many noobs cause after law enforcement gang rp prolly is the most action filled
