Imnotcore Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Your In-game Name: Core Your SteamID:STEAM_0:1:95917993 The admin's name in-game: Jones What warning did you receive: Racism When did you receive this warning:5/31/2023 Please give a description of the situation that led to the warning: It was off hour time and I was hanging around, doing dumb things with Kaneki and other players. At the time I thought we're cool with each other and then asked him 'why are you black' through mic as a joke when he is around me as Tau5. Soon after that Kaneki reported me for Racism. Why do you think this warn was false: I don't think asking "why are you black" to a player with black suit playermodel as a joke would be Racism since I'm implying facts on playermodel. None aggressive/ offensive/ inappropriate words/ tones/ manners followed by or ahead of the sentence as I have no other meaning than a simple joke, nor have I intend to commit discrimination against the individual. The statement mentioned above does not necessarily constitute racism on its own or breaking General Rule 17 in MOTD. I believe my act and words have nothing to do with the accusation and "player disrespect". According to MOTD: "Never harass and/or disrespect other players/staff. Gaminglight does not tolerate bullying or targeting based on race, gender, sexuality, or other identities, nor racial slurs or anything that can be deemed offensive. Gaminglight has a zero-tolerance policy toward this type of conduct." Second of all, Racism's definition states:" Racism is a belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another." which again does not match the situation. Evidence the warning is false: N/A Edited June 1, 2023 by Imnotcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovelock Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Ok so even though you have found your remark funny other people will not see things the same way not only that saying something along the lines of "why are you black" I would derive that is player diss and racism and in this particular situation the player who reported you did find it offensive so I am sorry but I am giving a -support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Weeb Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) +Support Okay this is getting ridiculous, just because a person interprets something as another thing doesn't mean that thing becomes true. I've cracked jokes like this before and I am not trying to shit on the black race either. Sack up or get off the internet.

Sprink Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think the warning may have been excessive but you knew exactly what you were trying to do by saying “Why is he black”. I know you were trying to joke around but it’s not usually the best idea to say stuff like that even if it doesn’t sound “racist”.

Piller Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I wasn't there, so I don't know if your intentions were to goad a reaction or not, but this alone is not worthy of a racism warn. I would say you should try to read the room better as some people are more easily offended than others.
