Kage did an excellent job of summarizing my feelings on this topic.
The big, important concern here, isn't even about whether or not its meant to be a community, RP event, or both. Its that our concern about the emphasis that event has on its 'Maids & Hosts' RL gender, and that its potential repercussions have been brushed aside. Especially given the level of response it appears to have had thus far on the official forums. And this is, I believe the most important thing to take away from this thread for the organizers of this event.
RPers tend to have a lot of experience and knowledge in this area either directly or indirectly as a result of our having to balance IC and OOC. We're merely trying to stress and impart knowledge of its importance for the safety and enjoyment of all involved.
This all being said, I have to say that I'm impressed with the level of organization and presentation skills displayed by Nariko for this event. Its not my cup of tea, but its quite obvious that a lot of work has been put into it
