Lol, you are calling me out because my characters smoke pot. I don't care. Feel free to speak your minds.
The fact is, this game is about murder, killing for power, fighting, struggle, ect. I don't see how a fantasy character smoking something in a game of "Make Believe" isn't going to corrupt people, and if it does; they were weak minded to begin with.
Marijuana isn't the 'Devil's Herb' as America claims, it has been the outlet to many advances in the ability to fight cancer. Stop Seizures among mood balancing qualities and anti-anxiety medication. It's just because the cotton industry banned cannabis so that the government could still have the cash crop control.
I mean, if you are not a good enough parent to say, "Don't do drugs, drugs are serious things." I don't think you should be fertile. I personally smoke for many medicinal purposes:
I have mood swings, extreme anxiety disorders, OCD, and manic depression. I cope and live today thanks to the CBD, THC, THCA, CBDB ect. You have your right to an opinion and so do I; but is me strolling around smoking more harmful than.... say someone waiting to kill their brother during sleep or maybe even say...
If my RP offends people, I am sorry, but when their is only one person upset, I don't see a problem.
My character is a nice guy, a super hippie... use to be quite the dickhead. Found God in Nature and has taken a monk style approach. I am presenting weed as a calm, easy thing (except Sage Mode) I don't directly say Marijuana ever, but I would like too. I don't portray it negatively and hell, most people assume I smoke tobacco.
Words and speech can be influential, but it's the core of a person.
Prime Example of Naruto Misleading in the very first one.
Solider Pills: Make you fight for three days nonstop; equivalent to Nazi's pill of the same name.. it was made with meth...
their are plenty of references.
Rock Lee vs Garaa (Drunken Fist)
It goes to show that, Lee is a bad mofo when he drinks and fights seemingly better, but Garaa OP.
Is that not going to lead kids to want to drink to see if they are better fighters?
This is a realm of fantasy through and through and if kids can't separate that, it's not my or anyone else's fault that the kids choose to do so.
SL Examples:
A girl in Suna (Envy) dying, covered in vomit and crying drunk out of her mind and no one helped her. It was a gruesome RP, but it's okay, because alcohol isn't going to corrupt anyone, right? It's not addicting. There isn't a disease known as Alcoholism.. Nah.
Like, it showed the worse side of alcohol when all of us that have had a drink or two know that, it's rarely like that and everyone views it differently. Times are changing, buckle up.
tl;dr: It's RPG AU... It's a fantasy. If your only reason is to protect kids, then you it either means you assume the kids are weak minded and automatically will resort to drugs from reading about it in a text based game.
Or
All Parents are shitty and don't make their kids understand right from wrong.
P.S:You start learning about drugs in elementary school around 5th grade. So, yeah...
P.S.S: I can a test that, weed makes me a easier going person, I am easier to talk to and less confrontational. If that is a bad thing, by all means, I can RP without it. But, Villages might blow up
