About a matter that is specifically relevant to me: being homophobic wont ever hurt some people, even using myself as example: I dont care if you think gays should die, should not exist or if you spend your lifetime spreading pathetic jokes that only you and your not-very intelligent friends find funny enough. You will need to deal with me being a great player, while i participate in all the tournaments i want and act in the most edgy way possible whenever i want too, as reflection, in public chats, and dont even bother caring to all these shit cause my mind at this point in life is very well armored and i dont think you are worthy my time anyway. In real life I got a family that supports me, have leadership position on my job and been very confident, as gay a man. Either way, not spreading this kind of shit means more than being politically correct.
Using this text of someone that seems to be ok with beating "minorities" in the internet, even knowing part of how some of 'em tend to mentally feel about it: many people around cant be themselves (specially if we change the matter and talk about trans prople), are working on it or just havent hit the point in life to get enough self confidence to come out, and might think about how they are [insert negative adjectives that fit to what anxious or depressive people tend to take as reality] every single day. Reading public comments in chat, or logs from known players/users WILL feed their insecurities, traumas and will complicate their processes. If you arent empathetic enough to respect it in a game community, a place that players tend to go for interactions or have a fun moment in the day, you should yes, get punished. Not everyone will have strength to argument against shit, or talk about their problems, they arent even forced to it, and its why we need a staff/moderation doing their part and being incisive. Same applies to racism, im not in this place of speech so wont ever argument about it, but respect works in every situation.
Obs: I literally dont know what ojama or tc said, but reading some reactions around on top of 2022 made it clear to me that we still need to talk about respect and empathy. Its not about dialogue, we dont need to dialogue about existence.
