In a lot of the responses to other threads, I've clarified that I mean copying full names, lore, logos, and other things. I didn't mean just taking inspiration.

Please. This is it ENTIRELY. This has nothing to do with inspiration or basing things off stuff. And I'm not even trying to fully make anything a rule in all honesty. Just maybe have people think about the server and it's culture. That's most of it, truthfully. Though I don't believe you should...

I never said anything about disallowing inspiration or basing things off anime. I'm saying using exact names, logos, lore, etc.

I have no problem with people basing things off of an anime, its when they use the names, lore, and other things as well. It's just plagiarism at that point. This is why I specifically tried to stay away from saying specific characters. I'm talking about gangs/families as a whole. Not getting...

Yeah, I suppose that's understandable. I've spoken with the original makers of Bonten a lot, not like- about the making of it but just in general. I just think that a little creativity goes a long way. It sort of rubs me the wrong way when people think "Japanese street gang" and their first...

There's a VERY big difference between being inspired by something and blatantly taking someone else's work. If someone takes not only all of the lore, names, and other, that's quite literally plagiarism. I'm not saying they can't take inspiration, you're free to base anything off of whatever you...

I wasn't really talking about specific characters, that's why I tried to stay away from saying anything about characters themselves. This same argument could be said about a lot of other rules that have been added (i.e OOC consented KPS).

No. He's 5'11" and originally Japanese. Born in Takushima, but okay. I don't see how that's relevant to the thread itself.

IGN: jayseph_ DATE: 9/4/2022 WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION: Okay. As someone who has been in many a gangs and has now realized how poor the creation of many of them are, here brings my suggestion. If a gang is going to be properly based on Japanese street gangs, then it shouldn't be...

I apologize for my response being so delayed, this is the first time I've even touched a computer in three days. But I actually disagree with your first sentence. I went through the other replies. Yes, some of what I said was repeated, but not all of it. No one had mentioned community team...

I haven't really looked at this thread since I posted because I've been busy, but now that I'm home and been going through my general notifications for things, I have to say I disagree. If someone uses a slur or a word that shouldn't be used, I can and WILL go up to someone and tell them to stop...

-1 While the whole banner and about me section of not clicking on the profile may be understandable, simply saying to "block them" isn't a viable solution either. If you see someone who has something that's not only offensive by racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/etc I don't understand why...

nah. i'm gonna stop here actually

Zheng Tsu fan club right here

OH SO TRUE KANA!!! W REPORT

Hey that was me!

PLEASE THIS IS SO CUTE

SO TRUE RENE W REPORT !!!!!!

I actually had a similar point with the nonrealistic characters, but I'll refer you to a few of Heb's replies that I think are more beneficial than what I could muster up to say. Reply to ImKana Reply to Ruin I also want to point out what she's talking about with hostage situations because...
