Actually, it most certainly IS racism. Racism isn't necessarily negative, but it can be offensive either way. Yes, even positive racial stereotypes can be offensive to those of that race, especially to those who don't live up to said stereotype. ( "Here, Keichi can help! Those Japanese kids are great at math!" )

Re: the profanity filter, I'm not big on swearing in the game - I know there are kids in game, and I've made Marines blush when the bouncer in my mouth goes on break, so I *TRY* to behave.
At most, if I get really aggravated, I'll say (in chat) "Oh FFS, can we please (whatever)".

Yes, that is why I said she's depraved by BDSM standards.
With GG i always keep in mind that GG has a very narrow, opinionated mindset and that the most likely reason she didn't qualify her statement is probably that she believes anything related to BDSM is all badwrongthink that would be forbidden in her just and all-embracing world if she was rule. (All-embracing of only the things she prefers and believes because anything else is evil and wrong.) Still, as long as the topic stays within the incredibly narrow slice of reality she sees and accepts she occasionally makes useful points.
