@sao This is something that drives me a little bonkers. Usually I have my PC ask them stuff like “wow that’s so weird, why do you say that?” Or “gee, I wonder why that person would have said something so nonsensical, were they drunk or something?” If the player is new i might point out some of the cultural help.

I don’t even entertain that sort of super anti-thematic thing IC; I tend to just go straight to the OOC of “oh actually maybe you don’t know but that’s not a thing in this world.” I understand that not everyone feels comfy doing that, though.

Word. I recently had a character’s outfit referred to as weird in meta. It was pants. It was some pants.

what the hell

Someone once commented on how bold a choice it was for Aureth, a blond man with fair skin, to be wearing pink.

To this day I regret not going OOC to ask what they meant.

@sao Pink is over. It’s sage green season.

[farfalla]

@Tez THEY GO TOGETHER.

[Testament]

@farfalla Does that mean it’s still pastel season?

[crawfish]

@sao Let’s be clear, everyone’s got a little pink in them.

[Testament]

@crawfish I can’t tell if that was literal, or if we’re ordering how we want our steak done.

[crawfish]

@Testament

Sure, let’s say it’s steak.

[sao]

@Tez Speaking of vegetables, today I learned that cucumbers are not vegetables. They’re a fruit. I don’t know how to handle that information.

[crawfish]

@Testament So are avocados!
