That by calling him/her a "racist nerd", you are making a racist out of yourself.

For the sake of your own thread, stop doing it.

Eh, all Kuritans receive the Quirk/Xenophobic simply for chosing the Draconis Combine affiliation.

... Are you guys sociopaths? How the hell is fictional make-believe racism even comparable to real racism? I found the "forum trolling" excessive past the first Liao thread, but you sure do deserve it.

Tetatae are a primitive species of barely intelligent, if flight-less birds with a lifespan of about 200 years.
Initially they all lived on the plains, but for some reason they split into two with one group living in the forests/jungles.
The group living in the forests/jungles grew enough brains to finally be able to build primitive huts.

Fast-forward to 2510 when a ship leaving Salford suffered a misjump and ended up in an unknown area of space, their KF-drive damage, their only option was to use the dropships to land on the planet, where they built three settlements in the plains and enslaved the Tetatae.

Fast forward again to 3056 when a ship with DEST aboard suffered the same type of misjump leaving Salford and ended up near that planet as well, again with the KF-drive damage and no other option than landing on the planet. And go read Far Country if you want to know more.

I'm mega disappointed that your racism extends to every fictional race too, cause the Tetatae are actually hyper intelligent, can speak and understand most languages, and are also more adept at the maintenance and repair of all technology than any Human, being able to perform complex tasks incredibly quickly and with ease.

I guess it's not really being disappointed so much as coming to terms with the horrific racist that continues to be mega boring and super racist in this peaceful thread about the discussion of the union of Tetatae and House Lowtax Culture.

Edit: Also totally canonical, I am super sorry if the concept of Bird Aliens threatens your sense of self and identity, but they exist and are totally canon.

Please, continue to harass a player because of his skin color while hiding behind a dictionary for a language you aren't speaking. You're a child. A sheltered, culturally ignorant **** who cant understand the idea that words can, in fact, have multiple meanings. The only time ***** is a good word to use is when you are speaking Spanish and describing the color of something as black. To English speakers it means "I want to talk down to you but I also want to be able to weasel out of a claim of racism on an imagined technicality".

The Tetatae have been canon in battletech for for almost two decades; any discussion against their authenticity in the Battletech universe is plainly void - they are here to stay.

To commemorate the ongoing alliance to strengthen mutual Capellan and Tetatae interests, I have comissioned some artwork depicting the female militia warrior Têopõ in the original, FASA-designed, groundbreaking battlemech: the Wasp:

Well I sure am glad the other Europeans around here have you to speak on our behalf, letting everyone know about how we bandy about racial slurs and complain when people call us out on our behaviour! You keep standing up for the rest of us poor, privileged Euros.

Speaking on behalf of the Central Ohio Tetatae Volunteers of the Eastern Tetatae Watchers Union for Tetatae Rights Board, it is our duty to protect our brother and sister Tetatae everywhere. Not just in the Capellan Confederation, but throughout the entire Inner Sphere and beyond.

I pledge to stage a sit in, non-violent, hunger strike on any corporation that seeks to demean our Tetatae brother and sisters! I ask the other Tetatae Groups to please unite with me in this! The Tetatae struggle will be heard, brothers and sisters! Tetatae power now!

Yes, they're trolling.

Wall of text explanation:

It's a group of gamers who've been around a long time and have gained fame by pretty much winning the game of Eve online, where they're known as GoonSquad. Their play style is to learn everything about the game and all of the rules. They're not really cheaters, just incredibly skilled and ruthless players, who have developed extremely good coordination. More like utter bast**d lawyers.

Eve is a universe explicitly without rules, and con games, thieving and assassination are all things to brag about. When you think about it, GoonSquad is lying, raiding, robbing and conning fellow players. MechWarrior players are killing each other, so you really can't get after them too hard.

In MechWarrior Online, they're calling themselves "The Word of Lotax" as a play on "The Word of Blake". Unfortunately, their play style is simultaneously effective and soul corrupting. The symptoms are huge egos and utter contempt for 'lesser' peoples, which is everyone else. Since the entire "Bird-Alien Tetatae" thing irritates most MechWarrior fans, it's been picked up as a trolling theme.

In Eve Online, the group started as an espionage outfit, and has spent several years getting good at collecting information on other gamer groups. There are a several members of the group with MWO troll-support accounts which appear as calm, reasoning anti-Word of Lotax members, who post simply as a foil to the trolls. They also quote the less than well thought out posts of non WoL's to prevent later editing.

They looked at the MWO forums, and decided that Liao was the most promising group to take over, which is fortunate, because if there's any faction to hate, it's them. That doesn't mean they'll stay Liao. They communicate very well, and they could all become Davion, Steiner or anyone else overnight. I'd guess most of them have multiple accounts already, and may have picked out another faction to be sleepers of. I think the Bronys are the only ones they'd have trouble hiding in.

Thank you for your truithiness. Of course, you're completely wrong, but that's ok. You have the right to be delusional, just like I have the right to be a dick.

I am very genuine in my appreciation of the majestic Tetatae and their beautiful culture! Why would I ever make a thread to 'troll' people, that sounds mean!
