What are you reporting?:

Malicious Intent

Description of the incident:

Marines on the dropship were talking about femboys as well as femboy feet. I stated that “Femboys are gay”. What followed was an admin, Backsea, admin PM’ing asking what I meant. This was back and forth until I was noted for going on political rants. My responses are included in my player log.

I made a statement in-character and the admin in question was taking them to be major political stances IRL. When I asked how political beliefs/agendas effected in-game RP, I was told that I “needed to explain what I meant by political agendas”. The admin was directly interfering with my ability to play the game as this had been going on for about 20 minutes. I was one of a few combat techs and when I pointed out that this was preventing me from fulfilling my duties as the role I chose to play, the response I got was

“alright, im gonna be issuing a heavy warning for LRP and putting a note incase you go further in the future”.

There was nothing more to this that needed to happen than it being a single throwaway line said by a marine to other marines, but instead the admin chose to drag this out in some silly inquisition.

Evidence:

CTRL+F “You are a combat technician You are a Combat Technician!”

Rule 3
Being Homophobic, Sexist or a general bigot is not ok, and action will be taken to rectify such behaviour.

“Femboys are gay” and people were toeing the line here, I think a warning to say don’t do that in the future was appropriate and no protocols were violated.
