#as someone who's never experienced racism myself as a white mun; i feel like i don't have the right to speak for a character who has;

[wisheswagered]

also, tentatively, i have finally added patricia as a muse! see the tags for a few disclaimers about that, though.

[theglamorouslist]

being a poc irl in your group it disgusts me that you would use race as a reason for people not interacting. I HAVE NEVER experienced this and have constantly played poc. Its never the race when it comes to replies, if people are not giving something in a post then no one will reply. I find it vile that you would use bipoc to make yourselves seem better. I will be reporting this to tumblr. You probably won't post this because you know you're in the wrong

I will be posting this, actually, as a person of colour myself who also majorly only writes people of colour, I can tell you, I have personally experienced this. Not only in this group, of course, but in many other roleplay groups during my time writing on tumblr, twitter and discord. And as a person of colour who has multiple friends that are also poc, I know for a fact that they’ve experienced the same. I have, in every instance, received more interactions on my white characters each and every time I pick one up. Moreover, people made a consistent effort to ask for interactions when I wrote someone white. It’s not my opinion that poc get ignored, it’s a fact, and can be easily proven if you’d like to come into our ims so I can provide you with relevant screenshots. We’re always happy to provide proof to back up any of our claims! 

Since you’re a member of our group and you feel this way, I believe talking about it off anon would be far more productive than taking up an accusatory tone in our inbox! We’re here to listen to the voices of the people in our group and make sure everyone feels comfortable. Members came to us saying they were being consistently ignored on their muses of colour, despite giving long replies with sufficient substance. This is a fact, I know because more than one admin has double checked these claims. I have personally experienced this as well. Considering the state of the world right now and the blatant and awful xenophobia and racism we have to face out there, the last thing we want is for anyone to feel that way in here. This is a safe space for poc, especially muns of colour like myself. As you’re a poc yourself, we’d rather have your support here in uplifting all other muns and muses of colour in having their voices heard, rather than trying to drown out their own valid experiences.

And since you do find it necessary to report our group for trying to maintain it as a safe space, we would also respectfully have to ask you to leave. Please contact us off anon so we can either talk this out or post your unfollows.
