Dehumanizing other people by calling them monkeys is a racist term, and has been for a very long time. In fact it can be traced back well past the Nazis, when they dehumanized other races by calling them mongrels. The use of the word "monkey" as a racially offensive term has been well documented.
This game is played by people all over the world, of all ethnicities, which requires that you be more accepting of others. not only are racial slurs like "monkey" wrong from a moral standpoint, but OTM has taken a stance against racism, by putting a statement about it in the forum rules‘“Monkey” is a very old racial slur that suggests that someone is sub-human.’

When Darwin popularized the theory of evolution, he clearly suggested that some people are ‘more evolved’ than others. In that context, it was easy for people of European ancestry to forget that western achievements in science, literature, music, government institutions, etc., arose in large part out of the energizing freedom, mutual trust, and call-to-fruitfulness ideals provided by a biblical worldview. Instead, many people of British and European ancestry imagined that their ‘evolutionarily advanced’ societies reflected their superiority over other ‘races’—especially black ‘races’.

Racial/Ethnic
This refers to clear and implied language which:
Is recognised as a racial or ethnic slur.
Promotes racial or ethnic hatred.
Refers to symbols of racial or ethnic hatred.
Therefore, when I asked that you stop using racial slurs, I was doing my part for the community as a guide to make this forum a better place. Whereas you doubled down and said:
now see.. calling people fat and stupid is also insensitive as well.Hey bitey ik all res are fat and stupid
Again, I ask you to think twice before you post because your comments can be construed as hateful and offensive. Please refrain from using them to belittle other people based on their physical attributes to make yourself feelWeight stigma or bias generally refers to negative weight-related attitudes toward an overweight or obese individual. These attitudes are often manifested by negative stereotypes (e.g., that obese persons are “lazy” or “lacking in willpower”), social rejection and prejudice. Weight stigma includes verbal teasing (e.g., name calling, derogatory remarks, being made fun of, etc.), physical aggression (e.g., hitting, kicking, pushing, shoving, etc.) and relational victimization (e.g., social exclusion, being ignored, avoided, or the target of rumors).
Many obese individuals report being treated with less respect or courtesy than thinner persons and being called names or insults because of their weight. Thus, weight stigma can emerge in subtle forms, or it can be expressed directly.

To address this, yes I do. I actually care quite a bit if you ever decided to look at any of my posts I've made in the past. One of the things I strive to do is to teach other people in this game to not use these types of comments. Many people in this game are younger players, and even before I became a guide I found it important to teach tolerance to people because that is learned at a young age. So in short; you don't know me. Don't pretend like you do.We all know u dont give the slightest fck about racism
I also care about scamming, but in this case I don't know what happened. nor do I care to. All I know is what 44kisses wrote which implicates this person as a scammer. Now whether that person did it or not, it is still a good question to ask why Braves have continued to associate with an alleged scammer. What happened to 44kisses is deplorable, but to blame it all on Resurgence is very disingenuous. She chose to transfer, another person chose to scam, which is a risk of transferring. I know she must have had some good reasons, but if you play with fire you are eventually going to get burned. As for the scammer, that person deserves to get their reputation ruined, as 44kisses said in her original post. Scammers have no place here, and I would call on the clan sheltering that scammer to kick him out.
