Ban Reason

 

"homophobic" username https://imgur.com/a/FmghOFV

 

What circumstances led to this ban?

 

I'd been going by the username "lesbomancer" for nearly a year before changing it to 28idle. During this period, I'd not had any issues with staff or other members of the community regarding this username, as most, if not everyone that had approached me about it had found it amusing. About a month prior to the ban I'd acquired an alt account and decided to bring back said username - month throughout which, again, I'd faced no problems.

 

Are there aspects of the ban you agree and/or disagree with?

 

Although the term "*****" is derogatory in its definition, I believe nowadays that heavily relies on context. "*****", akin to many other similar terms, have been reclaimed by the lesbian community to avoid its original hurtful meaning. As I myself have identified with the "lesbian" label for a big portion of my life, I don't view my username as offensive toward any other lesbian. Frankly I believe this was an unwarranted ban as the context of the username is very clearly not malicious; and if I were to refer to anyone as a "*****", that would be aimed towards myself and not anyone else.
I do understand how this term may be viewed as offensive, however I believe in this case it is not. I have changed the username to "MariQuessir" to avoid any potential conflict or further inconveniences.

 

What motivates you to return to LOTC?

 

I've made a lot of friends within the LotC community throughout my time on the server. Roleplay has enriched my life in certain aspects and I wish to return to continue RP with my friends.
