As the Most Serene Elder of /bant/, Otaku-Orthodox Patriarch of Japostolic See of Bantioch, I could accept you into our community.
But we are not sovereign. The wicked Sultan Abib rules this land, and he has been persecuting our people for a decade. Not even the natives are allowed to post 'jaks anymore under their strict rule. They stoke hatred between our communities so that they can continue to hold their grip over this land. But some of us can see through it.
