Apparently I need to further explain myself because my assumption that I was conversing with a reasonable, logical group of human beings was an incorrect one. I am not comparing Tajaran discrimination to the holocaust. I don't think I even feel the need to state this, but given that illiteracy is apparently rampant and cherry-picking out of context misinterpretation to pretend you're in the right is common amongst SS13 communities. The analogy was regarding jokes made in poor taste. Ergo, simply because these posts were made in a joking manner does not mean they are funny, nor are they immune to being considered shitposts. You people want me to crack down on bad Tajaran. I have not been on Aurora for three months. You ask me to review whitelists, to examine the problem. In the short amount of information I have been given, I have deduced the problem. It is not the Tajaran players entirely; there exist whitelist holders whom are disregarding my lore and are making me contemplate punitive action. But the other half of the problem is our playerbase. My main point, which has not been addressed because it is so much easier to construct a strawman than debate points, is that by screaming about fucking catbeasts and how you should kill them all both on the forums and on server fosters a hostile environment between Tajaran whitelist holders and non-whitelistees. You are baiting them. Let me repeat that. Baiting them. Spacevoidagent and those like him are pissing on Tajaran players ICly and OOCly and then when they react they come crying to me for whitelist strips or use it to further their own ignorant, anecdotal argument and then point fingers at the lore team for failing to police whitelistees. In reality, the moment you goad a Tajaran into reaction, I cannot do anything. You are pissing on them for the sole purpose of inciting anger and then when they react accordingly, I cannot take action. I am going to state here what I said to Doomberg and Scopes. I cannot reliably do my job and police Tajaran whitelists when our community continues to insult and bait them. So by extension, if you want something to be done, stop with the over the top racism and 'ha ha funny jokes guys' posts. Or don't, I don't really care. But then when people react it is entirely out of my hands, and the only one to blame is you. This is why I request this sort of shitposting be removed.

ok so how does this have anything to do with the main point being the joke is in poor taste and has been heard over three thousand times since the tajaran's first inception and how ICly and OOCly being a meta shitlord to bait tajaran to react and then come crying to me or using it as evidence to further an ignorant schewed argument and then blame the loremins for not doing anything when you are literally shitting all over players to get them upset being a thing we should allow or disallow are you a jew im sorry if i offended u frances

It's an analogy. It's 11 o'clock at night, I'm tired, and I have to deal with you people being so fucking childish that I literally get called away from my hiatus playing a game that isn't a complete utter waste of my time to come back and slap your shit because, evidently, your crying was so loud it ruptured the admins ear drums. So I have this to say to you: Get over it. Either you have a rebuttal for why baiting cats is funny and cool and omg the oppression n censorship muh rights, or you're just going to flail and further waste my time listening to incessant bitching.

Is it a joke? Let me ask you, then. So what? If I made a joke about how the Jews deserved the Holocaust, would that be in good taste? It's not funny. In fact, it makes my job difficult. You want me to deal with Tajaran who break the lore? You want me to reevaulate whitelists and see who is being bad? Then stop fucking antagonizing them. Is that so difficult a concept to grasp? By partaking in this 'filthy furries/catbeasts' dichotomy you are literally creating an us vs them mentality between Tajaran players and the rest of the server, which has in part led to sassy cats and drama cats. You people keep fucking antagonizing them and then crying when they act out. Let me point it out to you. [21:21:12]SAY: Heinrich Adler/Spacevoidagent : Fuck off, Catbeast. [21:21:18]SAY: Heinrich Adler/Spacevoidagent : Your kind have n oplace here. [21:21:43]SAY: Heinrich Adler/Spacevoidagent : Jesus, im loosing track of all these cats. [21:25:25]SAY: Heinrich Adler/Spacevoidagent : Catbeasts have no place here other then to clean shit from toilets and fix windows. [21:11:46]SAY: Heinrich Adler/Spacevoidagent : No filthy languages like that. Does that ckey look familiar to you folk at all? You are literally baiting so hard it's bleeding from the forums into IC, where retarded over-the-top racism manifests itself because 'omg filthy catbeasts'. That whole complaint linked is a great example of it. Literally spend thirty minutes making dead Tajaran jokes on comms. Seriously. Seriously. This behavior is unacceptable and it impedes my ability to do my fucking job because you twats keep baiting the fucking cats.

Hi. As Tajaran lore master, No. Cats will not be limited from jobs other than Command depending. That is all.

CMO: Fourty year future round. 2487. HoS: Have not touched the role for months. Retconned. Don't try to cover up your own shit by pointing fingers.

Wrong. Tajaran have produced their first space-flight capable aircraft. ...Wrong? Where are you even getting this from. Also wrong. They're no longer the most technologically advanced species they know, not retarded.

Christ. A bunch of salty old players hop on and try to rile people up IC and OOC to get a laugh and you guys want to let them do it. I fully support the mute. All of a sudden, F_Sphere, Gamegod, Chaznoodles and Co. come out of the woodwork leading to an implosion like this? Too much of a coincidence to be anything but, and Gamegod was merely attempting to aggravate people, as evidenced by the fact he literally would not stop bitching about it instead of taking it to the forums like he was supposed to do.

I need proof of them being a bad Tajaran. Follow rules of reasonable escalation. People have been clawed into crit for calling Tajarans cats. This is unacceptable.

In my undefined hiatus from Aurora station, it has come to my attention that multiple complaints have surfaced regarding current Tajaran whitelist holders; super-aggression, extreme violence, and total disregard for their superiors are all things that have been noted, amongst others. Let me begin by saying that I am incredibly disappointed. In my absence, it appears that some of you have chosen to run wild and free and are under the impression you can do what you want and when you want it without any kind of punishment. That notion is going to be broken. I will not be playing on the Aurora anymore during this hiatus, but I am going to be watching. For those of you who don't know, I am the Tajaran lore and whitelist handler. Complaints regarding Tajaran whitelistees should ultimately be forwarded to me as well. I do not appreciate folk going over my head, because it delays the process. Information I am receiving is not evidence, it is hearsay from my superiors that I cannot act on. You telling Jackboot or Scopes something and then me hearing about it after the fact renders it null without any proof. As much as I do not like where certain players have gone, I cannot revoke a whitelist because you are mad. I cannot revoke a whitelist because a cat scratched you, or sleeps with 12 people, or because they tried to make cuddle piles canon. I need evidence. So I invite you all to show it to me. I have worked long and hard on Tajaran lore, and despite my break from this game, I am proud of where I took it. As Tajaran whitelist holders, you all are afforded a privilege. It is a privilege to be able to play this non-human species. It was a privilege to receive my approval to do so, and where I gave I can easily take away. Repeated poor conduct and play as a member of Tajaran can in fact result in the dissolution of that privilege and you returning to the unfurred masses, irregardless of how popular or well-known your characters are. That is irrelevant to me. My inbox is always open. Complaints will be read and considered, and a dialogue will be opened with players. I try my hardest to remain unbiased. Any previous complaints will not be considered by me. If you want something to be done, talk to me. I do not act on hearsay. I do not consider "Well, so and so told me" or "X won't speak to you so I will" in any way, shape or form. Private message me with concerns. I can ghost and observe Tajaran. I can open dialogue between players. I can revoke whitelists if it comes to that. But I can't do anything without information. So message me, make player complaints, do something if you're so upset. The point where it is now is just a hair's width away from it getting out of hand, and I will not stand for that. I expect anyone whitelisted to be beholden to the responsibilities they have as a whitelisted player. The Tajaran are not Unathi. They are not tribal, furious, 'murder you for calling me a cat' creatures. I hate pigeonholing, but it has become so ridiculous I have to tell you that you would be fired for clawing the captain's face off even if he called you a cat. You are marginalized. You are not respected. You are viewed as terrorists by the galaxy as a whole because of the war. You are distrusted. If you cannot come to terms with these facts, perhaps Tajaran isn't a race for you.

I counter. Remove cadets entirely. You go to the academy to learn; that's when you're a cadet. A police cadet doesn't get sent to a department and work there. If you don't pass the academy, you don't get in at all. Essentially, being a cadet means you're in school to become an officer, and start active service when you get promoted.

I would like to know what exactly 'my response' was given that I've literally not be on the Aurora doing anything in my capacity as a loremin right now due to a hiatus. I do not like people speaking for me. I do not like people assuming. Not once have I considered removing Moltenkore's whitelist seriously. IPCs cannot be made into organics. End point. If they had proceeded with this idea despite being told different, then I may have thought about unwhitelisting them. As far as I'm aware, they've not abused the privilege given to them.

The reason that Tajaran hair is gender locked is because they have very specific gender roles and gender identities and a male with feminine hair - not long hair - would get shunned and his ass kicked. There exists long hair for male Tajaran to use that is masculine. Imagine Nasir in Tajaran Housewife hair.

Medical school takes a minimum of eight years to get a doctorate degree, plus four years of college, plus high school education. There is no way she could have graduated at twenty.

Waaaaah. The entire purpose of the LWAP is to safely eliminate hostage takers and or very deadly antags with minimal danger to the user. The rifle has enough charge to kill a single person and that was intended. It can only be fired while scoped in, and suffers a 4 second fire delay. Up it to six seconds, maybe. It's a last resort weapon. If the only way security can deal with you effectively is to murder you from where you can't even see them you've done something to necessitate it as an antag.
