Without going into detail about the moderation in question, I don't believe there's any specific rule against being racist towards fictional races. However, if you break another rule while doing so, then you're going to get modded, especially if it's flagrant.

Like you said, if it's a thinly veiled comment about a real world race, that's obviously moddable. Going further, if you make a connection to real world race, that could easily go too far depending on the context. If you're harassing people who play a certain race, that could cross the line.
I would say just avoid making real world connections, or posts that could be easily construed as a real world connection, while being racist towards fictional races.
Yeah, that pretty much falls in line with what Ive thought. The users who play it part is good to explicitly point out.

In D&D I'm pretty racist against any race that can't see in the dark.

It always annoys me when people act like the Gorons starving because of Dodongo's Cavern being blocked off is a big plot hole because there's rocks everywhere.

It's literally explained in-game. Gorons have become so conditioned to eating "rock sirloin" from Dodongo's Cavern that they can't stomach anything else.

Probably should never compare yourself to Hitler, even if it's in the context of fictional races.

To be fair, I'm sure Link doesn't understand this specifically because he seemingly can eat literally anything and thus to him he's legitimately curious why the Gorons aren't eating other rocks.

Oh that's just begging for a moderation, and rightfully so.

While I believe it, usually these things don't go underserved. Probably said something that drifted a bit too close to real racism, which is basically a "screw it, not taking a chance" ticket to get modded.

What is the line?

Does "I really want to wipe out those Wolfenstein Nazis" cross it?

Or would I have to go a bit more personal into race and national identity of fictitious characters and societies?

Come to think of it, I have made multiple jokingly racist comments about Khajits and never got modded for it.

Just banned that guy from the subreddit too.

Protip: don't start your post with "I'm hoping to be like Hitler" no matter if the race is fictional or not.

What about games that have built-in genocide modes or expect that kind of play? What are safe ways to remark on that?

I see what happened. His "friend" used his account and larped too close to the sun. Should have larped as Dagoth Ur instead.

What a grand and intoxicating innocence! How could he be so naive? There is no escape, no recall or intervention can work in this place!

Since COVID people have been sickeningly easy on Asian focused racism. It's likely subconscious but it's incredibly fucked up.

Yeah, I think this guy is probably the problem here...

What are you guys doing to get so modded all the time? I think I've been warned about a post once in the last 10 years. wtf are you guys doing?

I got my account set to Warned recently for mixing up names of 2 victims of police violence, and correcting myself like 3 or 4 posts later in the same post. I probably should have just edited the initial post but I honestly didnt think much of it when it happened.

Sometimes shit happens
