Albeit not particularly restrictive, this warning could synergize with other factors to unfairly reprimand me in the future, and I here by appeal the forum warning. You will find that the arguments put forward will clear up the misunderstanding regarding the nature (and forum legality) of the post which did not really warrant a 3 point warning.


This was the video in question:



  • The entirety of the RP followed server rules and the restaurant name was even renamed to Chonky Chinese (formerly Chinky) at the request of the admins

  • The participants managed to stay in-character even during high pressure situations as seen in the footage of this video, displaying commitment to an immersive roleplay experience rather than defaulting to contra-farming+killing for weapons like most experiences being had on the server at that time

  • An admin (SnowFlame) was one of the raiding parties and partook in the roleplay, so far as being dubbed by the restaurant staff "ShnowFramu", in an endearing form of cultural adoption

  • Mr. Wong's Chonky Chinese (formerly Chinky) has brought many smiles and fortune cookies to the community of evocity and FearlessRP as a whole, bridging the widening sino-european/sino-american cultural gaps being experienced at the time of the recorded roleplay (November 2020).

  • 3 of the partaking roleplayers being 'staff' at the restaurant have Chinese heritage IRL, and find it offensive that the non-Han members of the administration feel entitled to claiming offense in their behalf

  • As someone who has just tested positive for covid19 I'm particularly struck by this anti-asian bias on the part of Joe Joe

  • To quote the ancient Chinese proverb: "兔死狗烹" (Trusted helpers are dispensable once their job is done) - the good people who partook in the roleplay and video editing being the "trusted helpers" who spent time and effort breathing life into a moribund community, and "he who dispenses" being the forum moderator whose looming feeling of dread regarding the powerlessness of daily life pushed him into this heinous act 

Furthermore:

The RP followed every single rule, including:

And ironically the admin participating is featured on the video cover:

In Conclusion:

Making the thread and posting the video ought to be seen as an attempt to show some of the more fun gray area inventive RPs that can still take place in a Gmod community that quite frankly has seen better days. There was no intent to offend, and no rule-breaking offensive content was displayed, and neither was offense taken during the course of the session in which the footage was recorded.

A 3 point warning for the thread is undeserved and borderline a human rights violation.

Thank you for your time.
