Banned Stuff List

List Of Banned Things

That’s terribly non-descript but, hey, the stuff on this list varies too much to not be things.

While overall, we do allow most things, there are some phrases, plots and other bops that we just cannot allow. Here are the things that are banned, along with an explanation of why.

This is subject to frequent updates depending on what stupidity I find on the internet and what my mood is.

• Rape plots.
  First of all, this is a wolf roleplay. Shit just doesn’t really happen with canines. Secondly, rape is one of the worst crimes imaginable. It is not a plot device and it is not a source of your amusement.
  
  
• We’ll do what we do every night, Pinky – try to take over the world!
  These plots can get annoying – but MAYBE we will allow them every so often. It will have to be passed through Roamer, myself or, if you’re desperate, the polar bear.
  
  
• Tragic romance desu.
  Just. Just stop. Nobody fuckin’ cares. Yes, some drawn out fluff is fine, but keep the angst to a minimum, giving that if you have your characters moan and bitch about how they cannot be with senpai (or that senpai has not, in fact, noticed them), I will kick you in the fork. Note: I will allow it if it’s played as a joke. The lady loves clichés played as jokes.
  
  
• Actually, just cut the melodrama.
  Drama? Fine. If you want your roleplay to have drama (actual drama, not Batman ‘My parents are deeeeaaaad,’ soap opera drama) – don’t spoil it in the chat. Don’t tell everyone what’s going on. And if you aren’t very good at writing drama without turning into Rarity, just. Just don’t.
  
  

Banned Words[/u]

These words used in a “wolf speak” context will be subject to intense mocking. And by “intense” I mean I will reply ooc very literally to your usage.

• Orbs
  Unless you are talking about literal, spherical orbs, just don’t – protip, anyway, eyes are not spherical, they are oblate.
  
  
• Pelt
  Strictly speaking, a pelt is an animal’s fur without the animal bits inside. So unless your wolf has up and Buffalo Bill’d some poor creature, yeah, just don’t.
  
  
• Auds/Audits (and all variations)
  First of all, “Auds” isn’t even a fucking word. Secondly, “audit” does not mean “ears.” It means a file from the taxation office. I am not aware whether or not wolves pay taxes, but now you know.
  
  
• Dame, vixen, etc.
  Unless your wolf is literally a dame, ie, a female knight, just fuckin’ don’t. “Vixen?” That’s a fox. You are not a fox. You are a wolf. Strictly speaking, there is no word for a female wolf. No, it’s not “she wolf.” ‘Female’ isn’t descriptive enough? It’s the scientific and medical description of sex. You can’t get much more descriptive than that. “Minx” isn’t even really a word, it’s the archaic version of mink, and a mink is a small and somewhat vicious weasel.
  
  
• Brute, Brujo, etc.
  Oh god please just don’t. Unless your wolf is actually a brute – defined as violent, slovenly or brawny – then no. Just no. No, no, no no no no. A drake is a male duck! Fuck almighty what are you doing, stop it.
  
  
• Jowls
  A jowl is a cheek. Not a lip, or chin, a cheek. I’ve seen this used wrong so many times, and then defended by saying “I’ve seen authors use it this way so it’s okay!” I don’t fucking care, sweetheart, they were wrong. Use it right, or don’t use it all.
  
  
• Words/phrases for colours that aren’t actually that colour.
  “Ebony” isn’t black. It’s a very dark greyish brown. “Black as night?” The night sky is still blue.
  
  Actually, do you know what? This. All of this. Don’t. Ever.
  

Other Bits and Bobs

• Rape jokes. Yeah.
  
  
• Bullying. Just don’t. And don’t accuse people of bullying when you are being criticised. It just makes you look like a dick.
  
  
• Picking fights. Okay, we’re all guilty of it.
  
  
• Being an angsty, dramatic little shit. Venting and ranting is fine. It really is. But if it’s all angst, all the time, shut the fuck up.

That about covers it for now! Don’t be afraid to approach me about it though.
