    Be like Esca.

    prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior
    There is no race on Graal..
    Classism seems more fitting

    Provide a clear petition and a list of 150 signatures of the Astro noobs in order to have the set of their rights in this community. Once collected, the staff team could declare the request constitutional. Bringing additional limitations to the iEra rules.

    You just compared the group that gets offended to light terms to religion, do you find nothing wrong with that?
    Don't take it seriously, literally, if you tell an admin that someone called you an "Astro Noob", they would tell you to not take it the wrong way.
    Moral compass-that's funny, I don't know if you've noticed but we're playing on the Internet, the Golden Rule doesn't exist here bud.

    You can't fix the Internet.
    What does that even mean?

    'Your can't fix the internet' , that IS YET TO BE SEEN. ARE YOU SAYING WE DO NOT PUT IN ANY EFFORT AT ALL?

    What they are doing is simply what era was created for.
    A social platform for people from everywhere to come together and socialise.
    Sure. Everyone does it. But these People only do it at a different location.
    WHO ARE YOU, TO DENY THEM THE REPUTATION THEY DESERVE?

    If you could solve toxicity on the internet, you're a legend but that is out of our power.

    If this is the case then I would like to demand equality for all social groups on Era.
    IF YOU FEEL ONLY ASTRO NOOBS ARE WORTH HAVING THEIR REPUTATION DEFENDED, DOES THAT MEAN YOU CONSIDER ASTRO THE HIGHEST IN THE SOCIAL HIERARCHY? HYPOCRITE! AREN'T ALL SOCIAL CLASSES EQUAL?
    He is a functioning member of society.

    If you want to be politically correct; Astro Noob slightly ties in with racism.

    If you want to be logical; no it's not racist. That's like calling me an alcoholic for going to a bar once.

    You need to relax, what I was trying to imply was that you can't fix people's attitudes.
    And actually, until it's yet to be seen, you can't really fix the Internet.

    It's not a race, and if you get offended by such low-level obscenities, you just need to move on.

    Another thing, if it's not a race, but it's being implied as one, it's still not a race, therefore it is not racism.

    I'm pretty sure that the term race was re-conceptualized by social scientists to define a cultural group or a social construct, so depending on who's defining it, yes, this is a form of racism.
    In my own opinion, I view the ancestral aspect of 'race' as ethnicity, and race as a cultural group.

    This... is stupid. Isn't there a place where it says specifically, don't report people who call others noob, because noob isn't vulgar/discrimitory or something? This is literally just adding "astro" in front of it. If you really are super touchy about this, then you shouldn't play mmo games. You will always have someone be just a dick everywhere you go. That's life. You can block them if you truly are irritated, but saying that someone is being "racist" because they call people "astro noob"... no.

    Plus, just be a suuuuuuuper sarcasticly nice back to them. It's quite hilarious.
