Inclusivity Statement

As stated in our rules, our community does not allow discrimination. We require that all members be tolerant and respectful to all other members, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, identity, abilities, or beliefs. This is non-negotiable. If you believe that it is wrong to be respectful to everyone, keep it to yourself, or leave.

If you don’t know how to respect people, here are places to start.

• Don’t treat people as things. Remember that everyone else here is just another person behind a screen. They have their own ideals, feelings, aspirations, and struggles. If you talk to someone as if they are a demographic you “disagree with”, or an ideology to be debated, then you forget their humanity and start to treat them as things.
• Be mindful of your language. Don’t use offensive words such as slurs, and make sure what you say can’t be misinterpreted as discrimination.
• “It’s just a joke” isn’t an excuse. Discriminatory jokes are neither funny nor respectful, and they can often hurt just as much as if you were serious.
• Learn how to refer to other people. Most people have their pronouns in their Discord profile, displayed just under their usernames. Use their pronouns when referring to them in 3rd-person. If you can’t find them in their profile, it doesn’t hurt to ask.
