Hmmm okay. I didn't think of it in that light.

Long time player first time posting.... Gotta say I do quite enjoy some RP and Aurora does okay but the one thing that makes me kinda annoyed is that there's no adherence to stereotypes. I can understand descrimination not being officially supported by a lot of people. Absolutely. But I said this on the server just before, and I reckon it's worth sorting out here for the sake of a) record and b) being a lot more clear. A year ago almost every Tajara conformed to being submissive and never ever a head of staff, even playing engineer was discouraged. They were expected to be less than minimum wage slaves more or less. Most Unathi were testostrone pumped and were rarely seen out of security. Every Skrell was sociopathic and curious. While just playing a walking stereotype isn't that fun, true diversity can be accomplished through subtities right? Not playing one that breaks the lore? Because surely that's what happened, for the Tajara lore is completely retconned. While stereotypes can be ugly, they do add interesting RP with how someone treats them, and I feel like the lack of stereotypes essentially removes a lot of culture and history from lore. Judgement still happens a lot on the station but when I want to be judgemental I don't know how to be superficial about it. Am I wrong though, are there stereotypes at all?
