Backtagging: To Infinity and Beyond!
Threadhopping: Yep, go ahead.
Fourthwalling: YES!
Offensive Topics: I don't offend easy, so don't worry. Ask if you're worried, but you're probably fine.
IC Permissions:
Hugging Clouseau: Hah, yes.
Kissing Clouseau: Oh god... hah, yes. That'll be hilarious.
Flirting with Clouseau: He will flirt back badly, yes. Do this. (18+ only)
Sex with Clouseau: Memes? Maybe. In Game - I would prefer not. Part of the timeless quality of his story is that, though many behave as if he is a consummate lady's man, he never successfully gets anywhere within the movie. It just ends comically badly. Looking like he's about to get some action is fine, but have a vase fall on his head and give him a concussion first, please.
And *ahem* this should be obvious, but ABSOLUTELY NO flirtation with him by legal minors.
Power Use on Clouseau: Hah, sure. PM first for mind stuff.
Injuring Clouseau: Sure. Contact before permanent harm.
Killing Clouseau: Chat first, but I'd prefer not. This character is meant to be more light hearted, even in a horror game.
Character/Player Opt-Out:
In the past, I have made mistakes in terms of my interactions with others. I also have a history of being interested in darker themes that not all players enjoy or are comfortable addressing. For this and a few other reasons, in the past there have been players uncomfortable with playing with me. If you are one of these, feel free to request an Opt-Out, either of specific content/characters, or from me in general. I will honor that opt out in this and any future games we interact in. I prefer that all players be comfortable when interacting with me, and if this is not possible between us, I prefer that you not be made uncomfortable by feeling you are being pushed to interact with me. So absolutely feel free to use the opt-out. It is what it is here for. Replies are screened for privacy.

Content Warnings for Clouseau
Date: 2019-04-11 02:39 am (UTC)1) Clouseau is very 1950s/1960s old-fashioned when it comes to his treatment of women. He is generally gentlemanly, but can display a very dated sensibility. While open to the notion of women's equality, do not be surprised if he can seem a touch chauvinistic at times, being a product of his era.
2) Clouseau is prone to the use of racial stereotyping. His treatment of Kato displays familiarity with some of the more offensive old stereotypes of the Chinese people. He rarely treats people of other races 'poorly' (in his mind), but his stereotypes can certainly come off as racist and insensitive at times.
3) Clouseau has literally no clue how to address transvestites or transgendered people in what most would consider an appropriate way in the modern era. He is not negative towards them, but they confuse him, befuddle him, and he rarely knows how to address them, frequently fumbling over these issues in a messy, awkward and even unintentionally insensitive way.
4) Clouseau is a walking French stereotype. He is an over-exaggerated version of some of the worst archetypes of the French (notably Parisian) people. His accent is positively atrocious (so much so that french people can't understand him), and he is the very picture of an elitist, egotistical Parisian man, so ... if you're in the mood for an honest, natural representation of the French people? You... might want to look elsewhere.
