By Frenzeys, ICBORS+ member (Islander, Camper, Beginner, Oddjob, Roadies, Snow-lander) "Did you know 1/2 beginners get discriminated because of their job..." In the world of MapleRoyals, I (as well as many other members of the community) realized that a number of people on the server have what we like to call... "Joby Privilege" The first thing that comes to many (or rather 95% of you) is... "What the F$%@! How can I, (a Cis-Jobbed player) have privilege? I had to start new, and learn from the community and beg for mesoes!" well first of all, besides that comment showing a blatant amount of privilege... The best way for me to explain it is this: If you can leave Maple Island and get a job, then basically you have Joby Privilege. However, before many of you get mad, and spam me with messages let me explain to you why you have joby privilege and how you, a member of the joby community can understand and recognize your privilege, and understand what we (members of the ICBORS+ community have to go through.) What is the ICBORS+ Community? Well as I explain from up top, the ICBORS+ Community or the Islander, Camper, Beginner, Oddjob, Roadie, and Snow-Lander are a community of the oppressed players who have to go through the constant struggle of the Jobiarchy. Islanders have to stay on the island so they don't have to be oppressed whilst beginners have to sacrifice themselves to live in a false-jobbie narrative of the world. As well as this, the ICBORS community has many major obstacles that we still have to overcome on MapleRoyals this includes but not limited too: Job Discrimination From High-Level Guilds: As many know, guilds like Tempest, Arcady, Valiant, etc. Refuse to accept Beginner folk because of the Job they were assigned to at creation. GM's not including ICBORS+ Folk into community Events: The controversial thread where members of the islander community were denied and shunned by the jobbies and the GM's because we wanted equality. Weapon & Armor Variety: A Simple one, but still something that the GM's still don't recognize in our community. The Jobiarchy: Currently, in MapleRoyals; we live in a world where having a Job is normal, and selling maps is considered okay, unfortunately, most members of the ICBORS+ community do not have these advantages that jobbies have. Assuming There Jobs: Currently, and especially in the Oddjob community, many Jobbies will not accept Oddjobs on boss runs or even on Zak-Runs because of the build they're running. No Representation: As a member of the ICBORS+ Community I decided to ask Sila her thoughts on Jobbie privilege in her twitch chat, and she never even replied, this proves that we still have a long way to go and how the Jobiarchy affected the minds of our youth. BeginnerPhobia: Beside the Jobiarchy, Beginnerphobia is strong within the MapleRoyal community and many Beginner find it difficult to feel "Accepted" into society. What is Joby Privilege? I'm glad you asked! Joby Privilege is when a Joby has an advantage over a Beginner, an excellent example of this is when a Joby can go to Zak without the fear of being denied because of his Job, another example is simply by getting a job achievement.

Selling Maps VIA megaphones Terms that Cis-Jobbies need to know!: Uoop: Beginner Version of "Noob." Job-Assuming: Assuming that they are of a certain job but are either beginner or Oddjob. Cis-Jobbie/Cis-Jobbed: A jobbed player who accepts the job they wanted. Multi-Jobbie: Term for Oddjobs Bi <B-EE> & Ner <Nnn-RRR> : Prounouns that common beginners use. Jobism: When Jobbies oppress people because of their jobs. Jobiarchy: The idea that jobbies control MapleRoyals, this includes the forums, maps, GM contacting, and mesoes.
