In an effort to recitify the situation, I am making a public service announcement in the Race & Ethnicity forum. I feel that this is the best way to resolve the problem, since everyone knows that this forum is full of mature discussion about race issues, and contains no stereotyping or bias whatsoever.
So good people of LW. This was recently posted on David's WB:
I am shocked and outraged. How could we have neglected the vampires of this site, and allowed for such blatant [strikeout]racism[/strikeout] undeadism to occur?!!?
Prompt action must be taken. Suggestions.
*Create a whole new forum dedicated to the discussion of Vampires. *Make the Twighlight series a prerequisite for membership here. *Promote all members with the word "vampire" in their username to mods immediately. This will ensure equality is upheld. *The use of the word "garlic" will now be considered 'encouraging harm', no matter what context it is used in.
We can do it guys! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR DEAD AND UNDEAD
I think all vampires deserve a stake in their chest. They're just not good people. All they do is cause trouble and have lower IQs. Does that make me racist?
Does that make me racist?
I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in this forum.
We could try Prince's strategy and come up with an obscure symbol that means "Teen internet forum" in a bizarre langague, and refer to the site as "The site formerly known as LW"
??????????

That way, no judgments or endorsements are made for or against the possession of biological processes, and it's inclusive to everyone, regardless of whether their bodies perform biological processes that the oppressive majority consider essential to being considered a person. Hmmm, yeah maybe that would be better. Although that could be misinterpretted as a slam against skinny people.

I like the way you think, buddy.
Quote: from holysaiyan1 at 1:56 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 LiveWire is so discriminatory against the undead (or "mortality-neutral community"). It has "Live" right in the title! VAMPIRES AND GHOULS HAVE FEELINGS TOO! OF COURSE HOW DID I MISS THAT? Ok. Next suggestion. Livewire will now me referred to as "Undeadwire"
