Get the RTX mug.Proponents of such acronyms encouraging new users to look the information up themselves are often discouraging questions that could easily be answered using the FAQs, Wiki or Google.
RTFM frequents questions that common sense should have precluded asking.
Some may choose to reply in this fashion rather than leaving the newbie without a response so as to clarify what types of questions are considered inappropriate, unintelligent or inconsiderate of others' time.

rtca/etca precisely means to race/ethnicity change to another race ethnicity. eg: white/american to Asian/japanese.
As per usual the typical demographic of rtca/etca’s are 14yr old obese americans who have a undying obsession with japanese ‘kawaii’ culture. Rather then spending that undying effort touching grass, they grasp onto having “trauma” so therefore subject regular civilians with heinous ideas, like this.
Unlike a previous term known as “transracial,” these rcta/etca’s claim to be less problematic. Whatever that means.
