Eh, avoid "News" and "Politics" servers like lemmy.world - it's really a US-centric community and you know how these are (the server in itself is fine, don't get me wrong). Also, avoid the .ml community. Period.

Hello roboto! Or should I say Super Earth Citizen CVH201? As a fellow veteran myself I can assure you that your life is in our best and most benevolent hands! Citizens who had to interrupt their freely chosen mandatory service for non-mortality or maiming related issues are eligible for a free and relaxing stay at one of our Freedom (registered trademark) hostels on the beautiful sand beaches of Hellmire! In fact, I have already signed you up for the 3 year program to show our gratitude for your sacrifice. A unit of civil enforcers will be with you shortly, so please stand by and await your pick-up in order to ensure the most express re-liberation of your service!

Wie alt ist der jammernde Zuhausi denn, damit man als Uneingeweihter die Dürftigkeit der Argumentation einschätzen kann?
I'm guessing it's a derogatory term for the female reproductive organ?
Ja, zum Beispiel die Propagandalieder
Pro-Democracy. Daily reminder that a significant portion of these Communists couldn't abolish Democracy quick enough.
I misread that as Clothes and was going to note that they will deal with minors ...
To give a serious answer: As many as the story requires. The same thing goes for any ethnicity. If neither the story nor the character nor any of their dialog require it, not describing a character by their ethnicity is a valid (albeit somewhat harder) choice. This way, anyone can read and imagine the story with what they are familiar with. Now don't get me wrong, you can absolutely assign every character a full set ranging from emotions and values to physical attributes and ethnicity - but you don't necessarily have to state that "Jade" has dark/light skin. Simply describe the character on a different level. This is complicated, but beautiful if done with cultural identity: Someone from a community of turkish guest workers may have a very pragmatic and hands-on approach at their job but be somewhat hands-off in the household, until they have guests (Chosen from an arbitrary pov, this is not grounded in experience). If you wish to determine what ethnicity a character has, first ask yourself: is it important/does it influence them? If no, try to leave it out maybe? If yes or you absolutely want to know it, rolling dice is a valid option: Check the distribution in the chosen community and simply roll. From what I know many authors base characters, settings and scenes on some kind of real-life example, so naturally one might base the ethnicity on the same example.
Which is highly populated by .ml (such as you, which is not an inherently negative thing) and people that probably come from that line of thinking. Tbf I did not check what instance the people in question were on, so you are right for calling me out on simply assuming so. Regardless, OP was posting somewhat controversial statements and was met with a crowd that considers the statements "police officers are humans, too" to be controversial.
