Unban Request :: MC Pee Pants

[mc_peepants]

Name:  MC Pee Pants  (also played w/ name 'Meatwad' briefly)

Steam I.D:  STEAM_0:1:54848006

Date & Time of ban:  08-07-21 - 13:45

 

Admin who banned you:  Konig 1st MRB

Reason we should Unban:  The stated reason for permanent ban is 'racism/bigotry', which is very out of character for me. I was surprised to find that I couldn't connect today so I went to check the ban reports and then went to check the GameMe chat logs to see what could have been the cause - I wasn't able to find anything of that nature and definitely do not recall making racist remarks, let alone bigoted. Maybe an admin can provide more details about the ban? So with that said, I'm not sure what could be the cause for alarm here and believe the ban may have been a mistake.

[Samuels 1st MRB]

Good afternoon,

 

The stated reason provided for you ban is in fact correct given the clear chat history that was recorded on the server.  I am unsure what chat logs you are looking at if you do not find your comments to be not racist, bigoted and xenophobic.   Given that you may not be looking at the correct GameMe logs I have taken the liberty to provide the except from your game session on August 7, 2021 since the evidence is pretty clear cut.

Now if you're thinking "but Samuels, I wasn't insulting any race, and not all of that could be considered racist or bigoted."  From a technical definition you would be correct, there are certain statements that you made that are not inherently racist as all of those statements are not against any particular "race, religion or creed." 

 

However, your comments were straight up textbook xenophobic.  Here's the definition of xenophobia in case you are not aware what it means. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/xenophobia.  If you don't want to read the definition, it is "a fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign."  Now, if you happened to google or take a particular look under the Thesaurus at the synonym and near synonym section and you'll see that racism is equivalent to xenophobic.  And even using a dictionary definition, I would still classify your statements as being racist based on the context in which your saying them.

 

There is a very fine line between what constitutes playful banter and what is harmful, racist, sexist, xenophobic, and otherwise generally harmful speech.   If this was a single comment then I might feel more inclined to lessen or remove the ban, but as you can see from the time stamps, you went on like this for a full 20 minutes almost nonstop.  There are not many rules on our server, all of which appear the instant you join the server and you ended up breaking one that should really be a no-brainer with following.  

 

Your unban request is denied.
