Feral Heart

Over the years that Ive played this game, and over the years of living as someone who isnt a native english speaker, I know for sure an international board would make a lot of players more comfortable.

I remember there use to be many more kids who spoke something other than English running around, but slowly that number has been dwindling, and I know its because a lot of players get mocked for speaking their native language :/
thats why a lot of my friends kept leaving this game until most of them are only the ones that are perfectly fluent.

People make fun of you if your English sucks, and that doesnt really encourage you to learn it more. Some kids will suck it up and try harder, trying to ignore people who bully you for it, but a lot of other kids give up after a while.
Theyll also make jokes or get mad at you if you speak anything but english, even when youre just asking a friend what a word meant because you dont know it yet.

These things together means theres less and less kids who feel comfortable interacting with others.

Ive met a lot of kids who had terrible english and got very happy when they found another person who can speak polish. Often theyre happy even if you badly google translate everything, like some chinese kid i met who spoke absolutely no english besides 'does anyone speak mandarin : ( ', because its better than nothing and shows you wont be mean to them over how they talk and shows you actually care enough to figure out what theyre saying.


ppl are like 'oh but well need new mods!!' except you can report/flag stuff still.

slowly we can find new mods that specifically watch over those boards anyway, it will just take some time and effort. but this way im sure there will be 1. more players, 2. more kids that dont feel awkward just trying to say hello and join a new roleplay. Especially since theres much fewer 'illiterate' roleplays recently, making it even harder for non english speakers to join a rp and practice getting better.
