    It's Juro's gimmick.

    The character he plays as speaks this way and it's written in the rules that we allow racism IC only.

    If it was ruled okay by a staff member I recommend filing a staff report if you believe the moderator who took your Ahelp broke protocol/conducts.

    playing a racist character is not 'IC racism', the player is being racist

    Just putting in my two sense here. If I'm out of line posting this here, then I'm sure it'll be deleted.

    Players can make characters who act racist WITHOUT being racist themselves in real life. You know people can have fake characters or personalities online than what they actually are offline, right?

    being an overt racial caricature isn't 'the character acting racist', it's just a racial caricature that the player is using as a depiction of minorities for cheap laughs

    there's a significant distinction between that and tastefully roleplaying a character who happens to be racist

    Who determines what 'tasetful' even means? Juro has already had to turn down his gimmick before. What more do you want, all of us to sound and speak the same?

    debates on where exactly the line lies between tasteful expression of the characteristics of certain cultures and harmful sterotypes are very interesting and raise some challenging questions about how we should communicate

    none of which is relevant here because this is very very obviously a racist caricature of an asian person

    I'm posting this as a witness of Juro. I have been under his command as a synth that round.
    There is no problem with having IC gimmicks, he only speaks a bit broken english as he is japanese. There is nothing racist in that, it's just a gimmick.
    I have played with Juro a lot of rounds together and I have never once seen someone report him for his gimmick.

    IC Racism is allowed at a certain standpoint. OOC racism in dchat is not tolerated.
    I play as Viktor 'Beer' Kleiner, Matthaus and as Var'dqi Bo'ytill

    I'm assuming that you are very new to the CM community and the living meme that is Katashi Juro, and I'm also sure I can't say anything that either hasn't already or won't be shortly, but here goes. Juro is one of the most well known characters in SS13 CM, and he has been around for a while too. He has been told to (and has) toned down his character multiple times, and unless he does something absolutely outrageous, this ain't going to do anything.
