Slaving and Sensitive Issues

[Zhaei]

Of course I don't mean don't discuss it, my point were solely based on refusing certain points of the roleplay, i.e making an orc warrior and not participating in violence. Sorry if I didn't get the point across, though.

I think there's a line between violence and abuse and we aren't talking about general violence like you'd get in combat and the line of war.

But domestic violence, torture, and abuse are somewhat different, and while most people are fine with them, some may request not to see that depending on the subject content. Once more if it's just an rp between two people would it be that burdensome to move to a private channel of roleplay?

If you feel that garnering attention from others outside your RP would create discomfort for you and involved parties, I wouldn't be against creating your own private channel. It's like how ERPers would move their own RP to party or a private channel. In cases of abuse, torture, and violence where you'd like to keep it from sensitive eyes, I'd actually encourage the usage of a private channel.

I'm trying to agree with you Wuvvums.

Might as well add in a new rule about all this to make matters simple.
"If you're going to RP something sensitive, make sure your RP partner is okay with it. If not, don't do it. Time skip it or ignore that aspect if you wish. If you are not okay with an RP, call for a pause OOC and talk about it. If all else fails, leave the RP."
What's so hard to understand about this? Is there a mixed message going about I missed? Is there some secret rule that I've yet to find?

The bottom line is that there should be OOC conversation and communication. It's a good basis to work with. For instance, I will be uncomfortable with many types of RP until I get to know the player behind the character. Get to know that person and what they're comfortable/uncomfortable with. In time, you might be able to get that questionable RP you wanted. Who knows.

But short, it is simply respectful to discuss certain things OOCly. Respectful. Respect. First rule of the server. Just keep it in mind.

Just my own thoughts here, as for a long time I used to roleplay Rensin as a slave... but I think in regards to this whole topic, the subject is dependant on personal tastes. It's fine if you don't want to be any sort of slave listed here, or master of said slave, or to treat them in such ways, but I hardly think it should be a standard. Breaking the will of a person is something that is in all intents and purposes, something that should be handled with a certain ammount of... well, thought. Are you comfortable with this? Yes or no, go ahead, or don't do it.

As for real life examples, I can kinda see where you're going with that. It is realistic to think of "breaking will" when it comes to this sort of topic, however, not in every case is this applicable.

Basically, I think such things should be left up to the RPer, and those involved with the RP, not for other individuals who are simply observing to try to police or speculate on. Everyone has their own ideas and comfort zones with such things.

As for sex slaves...? Sure, why not? I'm sure every other sort of eRP is tolerated here as long as it's not public? Why be biast against that sort of thing?
