I went over the RP guidebook and it states that rape is just a flat NO, yet skinwalkers (cursed and pure) can't technically breed unless it is through rape or OOC. Wouldn't it be prudent and fair if the rape situation had the same pg-13 restriction as everything else has? Or is this another one of those rainbows and kittens idea to keep everything happy?
If the concern is people who frequently just skim over roleplays would come across something offensive, the solution would be to enforce RPers to place a disclaimer in their first post just like movies, games, and music does to shield the younger/softer individual.
Warning: Please do not flame this question just because you are completely against this sort of roleplay plot idea. Rape is no joke, but neither is someone being honest about points not really matching up. So think before you start typing up about how horrible people who RP rape and how wrong this kind of plot idea is because you do NOT know what the other person has experienced in their life.

It's just one of those things that is not meant to be RPed. We all know how skinwalkers breed it doesn't need to be mentioned in actual RPs.

Then does that mean that skinwalkers would never be allowed a chance for the RP slots in breedings because you just can't have that kind of roleplay?

The actual act of mating isn't depicted in any RP's, consensual or otherwise - this is not a Soquili rule, it's a Gaia Online Rule, and one we cannot bend or break. See the Gaia RP rules here
I don't see that it'd be necessary or preclude them from obtaining RP qualification. Allowances are made for Kalonas/SW's who cannot express the usual "love/affection" relationship.

I imagine the Soq rule is a result of this Gaia rule: The Admin Gaia-Appropriate Content in DetailRomanceRoleplays that revolve around two or more characters meeting and falling in love are perfectly safe on Gaia. However, certain romantic interactions and themes are not considered appropriate and may result in a warning for those involved. Roleplay threads based heavily on sexual themes or fetishes, such as cybering, rape or bondage, will be removed from the forums, and participants in the violating content will receive appropriate penalties against their account. So, though theoretically yes, that's what would happen, Soq are trying to avoid having problems with Admins for the players/owners and the shop. Because even more than the 'Keep it PG-13' and the 'no mating depicted' - Rape rps have been specifically mentioned as not okay.

Okay. I was a little concerned about the explanation on this. So you could technically have everything leading up to said sexual parts and then just do the whole Scooby-Doo timewarp?
-edit-
And yes, I'd already figured that was the reasoning for the rule, but whenever this topic has been approached, many people get quickly offended and arguments ensue to where the person who wanted to know the clear cut depth they can go has more often than not been chased out of the shop.

I have a question about this actually. What level of...."fondness" must a skinwalker show to breed? Obviously, it's easier if they're both pures or both cursed since they are equals, but what about a skinwalker breeding with a not skinwalker?

For the rape thing.... I thought that it had been absolutely unavailable even as a plot device for a while now. This is what I found in the RP subforum information:
"Rape is an absolute No
Not overtly, not implied, not in roleplay - non-consentual pairings are not allowed. "
It could be that it's outdated info... but yeah... I thought that you weren't even allowed to have a nonconsentual pairing, even for skinwalkers.

Wait... and I think I confused myself. I reread the post and it looks like you're asking if the rule can be changed, not about the definition of the rule... right?
XD Sorry... I'm a bit out of it today.
I do agree that it somewhat limits skinwalkers, though.

Risky thread is risky
>.> <.<
jk
but no really it certainly does limmit skinwalkers rp qualification.
Perhaps a special skinwalker breeding slot is in order instead? Or maybe they could pm the rp in for their rp qualification?
However Puu awsome storyline for rp qualification for skinwalkers romance. Take a +3 to you int and +4 to your deplomicy skill checks.
(that last bits dnd humor.)

Yes, it would require owners to be sensible in their roleplay, but Sya's example is for SW x SW. For a SW to even be able to breed with anything else, it was stated a long time ago that it would fall in the "rape" category.

Yeah I don't think anything would want to breed with a SW because the SW would just be so rough, they are the most notorious creatures of soquili after all.
