Is it against the rules to use Ventriloquist to say hateful slurs and racist remarks? I've seen it in many games and I think it is just disgusting.

Really what it all boils down to is the feminist position that women are inferior and men are superior.
While this is the exact opposite of what they claim to believe, too many feminist positions boil down to this. "If I' m drunk and a man's drunk, he needs to be of a stronger constitution, higher judgement, and stronger resolve than me, or he' s a rapist." "If a man and I both consent to sex and I get pregnant, he is more capable than I am so he needs to pay fer whatever choices I make regarding the fetus / baby"
Or, in this case, "I want to live in a world where I can wear whatever I want and go wherever I want and nothing bad will ever happen to me. Men, make it happen for me."
Because rather than being responsible fer being careful where they go and who they associate with, or taking measures to assure their ability to defend themselves, or simply acknowledging that yes criminals gonna crime, they instead elect to throw a tantrum and just demand men create the world they want to live in since they admit they can' t do it themselves.
You can certainly argue that racism against whites, men, etc can't exist, however, in the context of epicmafia.com's anti-hate speech rule, it should apply to any and all targeted slander against any group. Just because you can't be textbook racist against whites or sexist against men doesn't mean that on the Internet, probably one of the biggest places of free speech for any and all groups, talking crap to someone about any innate trait someone is born with.
Tl;dr hate speech rules need to be all or nothing, there is no middle group that is fair

Thank you epicmafia™ for teaching me that straight white men are literally the devil. Purge them all.
To argue that a particular system of domination is not 'real' for a particular group is to deny that there are interlocking systems of domination acting within each and every here&now.
When we compartmentalize domination, we forget that sexism here reinforces homophobia there, classism here reinforces colonialism there, etc.
My here&now should not be exempt from a critical interrogation simply because someone else's partial category places me in a dominant position.
you cant be racist to white people. you cant be sexist to men. you cant be cisphobic (its not a thing). you cant be the equivalent of homophobic to straight people.
marginalized peoples dont have the power to significantly discriminate towards people who are not marginalized. seriously. marginalized people dont hate slurs because they're gross but because they are ways privileged people exert their power over us.
so yeah if you think racism against white people is real then you are truly a fool and def a racist.
“In the United States at present, only whites can be racists, since whites dominate and control the institutions that create and enforce American cultural norms and values . . . blacks and other Third World peoples do not have access to the power to enforce any prejudices they may have, so they cannot, by definition, be racists.” --from EDUCATION & RACISM, National Education Association. 1973
people in 1973 are smarter and more socially aware than epicmafia players
My favorite thing to do as vent is make someone claim virgin. They get lynched and everyone thinks that person is a bad GT'er and they get banned from all games for the rest of the day.
Apologies theplok, we were merely trying to better understand your anger and oppression. Please take this money from my wallet, the deed to house, my family, my job and my rights as reparations for my unintentional racist outburst. I'll return to tumblr and attending #blacklivesmatter rallies to further educate myself.
I'm glad our privilege protects us from being offended, my white trash gringo brother

Although my body is of a white person, spiritually I am a blue marble from a chinese checkers set. Being called a cracker or a honky is not only offensive, it implies I am white. When in the real world, I am blue.
