Disagree.
Roleplay is an activity designed for the enjoyment of a player. If something happens that the player doesn't like, regardless of whether it is known IC or OOC, the activity stops doing what it was designed to do. That would be like saying OOC discomfort should only happen for OOC things, which anyone who has had an unwelcome IC advance would disagree with.
People's ideas of enjoyment do not always mesh, which leads to threads like this one.
A whole lot better than going out your way to influence what they do if they didn't even ask for a second opinion. But I'm getting sidetracked, because this thread is basically asking for a second opinion.
The entire premise of this thread is basically "Since this says this that means should we all do this now?"
^ the answer is quite simply, no. You don't have to change your entire character.
In RP your character doesn't know they're being controlled by somebody behind the screen. The world they know is only as vast as what knowledge they possess IC. So yes, if someone's gonna talk about how such and such us a DRG IC when only 10 or whatever are left, that person questioning it better be toting a roster with names in it or be a DRG themself with a good reason on why the other person can't be a DRG.
