Since 31 January I cannot enter Online Play and got an error Log notice, is it a global issue or is it just my program?

Welp. It took about a year.
But I have finally beaten Reborn.

Why is the website like this on my laptop :(

I am a Polar Bear. A very happy one. Not always and with varying degrees of duration and intensity, but a happy Polar Bear I remain. For seven years now, time and time again all from a Pokemon Fangame that I knew so little about. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy and happy on the inside, and if ever these words were to reach you, I would be happier still. If ever they did, all I would want to say is Thank You, over and over again.

Is using the "N-word" in writing racist when you don't have the pass?
Maybe I'll need to expand: by that I mean having some character use "n-word" to other. Theorically you're not the one to use or speak it, but you're writing it. But you're not writing it to real-life person in a real life, but have some fictional character say it to other fictional character. Is that still considered racist?
Well, if the character saying it isn't black-skinned, then that one is racist, but does that make me - the writer - racist?
Why am I asking it...?
Maybe because I don't want to cause controversy while writing. Obviously, I haven't intended to overuse it, but I still wish to know.

As someone also in a position of racial privilege, I understand that it is not fun to feel like you are being limited on behalf of unspoken opinions. But the reason they are unspoken is because people in marginalized groups do not always have the same comfort to speak out against privileged people when those same privileged people have, as a pattern throughout history, reacted in ways ranging from inconsiderate to genocidal. You don't have the perspective to understand the discomfort associated with trying to do that, while not knowing where on the scale that reaction is going to land. In writing these boundaries off as a fault of "Twitter stans" you are deflecting responsibility for your role in begrudging these relatively trivial boundaries, and thus contributing to the lack of trust between the POC community and white-privileged people.
But given that this has ventured from a genuine question about social graces (or lack there of) to something resembling complaint about having to abide by them, I'm going to lock this now before this escalates any further now.

Writing a character using the word isn't exactly inherently "racist", but the problem is that it is a boundary that people of color ask us, as white creators, to respect. Whether or not something is racist, I think it is responsible of us to listen to the people in the affected demographic and respect that boundary through our characters as well.
Instead, I would encourage you to think about why exactly you want a character to be saying that-- what emotional effect do you want that to have on your audience, or what do you want to be saying about the character who would use that word? Chances are, there is a way to establish those effects in another way that is both more impactful and still respects the boundaries of POC.

Just to make sure, in the Desert Field and constant Sandstorm, if I were to use Golem or Rhyperior, is their special defense get boosted twice? 1.5x due to being a ground type via field effect AND another 1.5x boost for being a Rock type under Sandstorm?

I'm not sure if anyone will read this, but here goes.
I feel like I owe this game, this forum, and mostly @Amethyst the biggest thanks I could ever give.
Before I found this game my interesst in fan games was absolutely 0, my love for Pokémon was a lot more limited due to having few people to talk to about it, and due to being an introferted 15/16 year old it really helped me break through a big part of my shell. I know I am nowhere near as active as I have been, but know that I won't truly leave these forums untill Ame herself either shuts them down or bans me from them.
But with all that said, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone whom I have interacted with on these forums. You may always send me a DM if you wish to talk (though I can't promise I'll reply that quickly)
And extra special thanks to:
@Candy @Q-Jei @Dreamblitz @seki108
@Ice Cream Sand Witch and probably many more that I have forgotten.
