Polar, Yakuza's are a real thing. Gangs with Anime gang names are notNgl if you're gonna get rid of these types of gangs might aswell get rid of Yakuza's too? Yeah sure Yakuza's aren't originally from anime's but neither are these street gangs, poeple just use the anime or whatever to get a proper structure or idea of what the gang's gonna be like. There's no need for this + it's not that deep

Gangs in anime the ones that focus on the gang's that is are based off real life gangs, so what if some1 wants to name their gang Tokyo's Revengers you're not the one getting clowned for it, I say let them bePolar, Yakuza's are a real thing. Gangs with Anime gang names are not

The issue isn't any personal distaste for certain media or communities, it's that people are copying elements from them directly and adding little to none of their own original thought.i do in fact believe it effort should most definitely be made to make it realistic. But when you spend money and work for the sexy ass models for you and your buds and to have all that effort go to waste because a few people don’t like the series— it kinda splits the community up a bit and it be kinda stupid for the community to be split up for creating a character that’s near similar to one they heavily like.
Couldn't have said it better myself.The issue isn't any personal distaste for certain media or communities, it's that people are copying elements from them directly and adding little to none of their own original thought.
We'll use JoJo's as an example. I personally love JJBA, and I've even had an item from the series implemented on SRP; that said, I cringe every time I see a JoJo character with their name slightly altered acting as though they're a normal person. It's unrealistic for someone to have the same name, an identical appearance, and exact personality as a character from a piece of media and not be a diehard fan. If this was a community where you didn't need to use your own original characters, it would be fine; SRP is meant to be a realistic setting where intellectual properties (such as JoJo's) exist, so it doesn't make sense that characters from pieces of media are walking around like it's normal.
Like others have said, there is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from your favorite media. I myself apply the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of my favorite characters to my OCs, but tailor them in a way which is thoughtful and realistic. Genuinely, I see no reason why we should allow organizations or individual characters to blatantly rip off actual IPs that exist in real life.
This ^Respectfully, in a reply to this. . the entire suggestion is about MAKING it be breaking the rules.
What are "srp standards"? That hasn't been made clear. So far, I've seen characters murdering each other in fursuits, I've seen constant arguments between roleplayers, and a lack of creativity in ANY gang. I don't understand how this gives less room for creativity, you are forced to branch out and put actual effort into the groups you create. Roleplaying is not meant to be easy, it never has been, and SRP standards are CONSTANTLY changing... so far? They're pretty low, our sister server thinks of us as a joke. Why not try to improve the quality of professional rp done? Make other servers stop looking down on us?
Despite the fact you see many foreigners in Japan, how often do you see foreign gangs? Almost never. Most triads have a branch in Japan, the Sinaloa Cartel, and I can't rlly name any other groups to my knowledge. Then again, I am ALL FOR foreign gangs being allowed in SRP, but that doesn't mean they should abandon basic writing principles to do so. Using these groups' names and ideas in your own writing is theft, plain and simple. Those groups? They're written by someone in the REAL WORLD, someone who has put time and effort into crafting said group in their story. Now, a bunch of kids take your story and rewrite it on a Minecraft roleplaying server. Now to some writers that would be okay, but has anyone actually asked? When you want to post someone's artwork, do you not ask them first? If someone made a 3D model and sent the file out to a friend, it'd be common courtesy to at least ask them if you could use it on SRP right? Why is writing not treated the same way? As someone studying to be a novelist myself, if I found out that something I wrote ended up on a Minecraft roleplay server without reaching out to me, I'd be a bit upset. . Now, of course, Ken Wakui, the creator of Tokyo Revengers will never actually find out any of these Minecraft gangs exist. . but is it really normalized to just take their work and repurpose it? Cut out the important details and destroy the story they built??
None of these replies are personal attacks, but rather my HIGHLY stressed opinion on the matter. I hope you can take these into consideration.
