As for "blatant transphobic posts", I can't take accusations like this seriously considering that anyone that doesn't automatically agree with someone saying they are trans is labeled as transphobic. It's been tossed around to the point it has no meaning.

As for "offensive behavior", there are people who take offense to the slightest thing. Is the entire playbase to be subject to these few individuals' fragility? Or would not the better approach be to encourage and help these individuals realize that they are strong enough to let it go? And before someone brings up extreme cases or fringe cases, I'm not saying let actual offensive behavior go (because I know someone would bring this up, and I'm sure someone still will even though I've made this comment)


So now it's shaming someone when the community is trying to help them by pointing out that they are the root of their own problem?

If everyone around you is mean, what are the chances that it's everyone around you who is the problem? Is it not more likely that the problem is you when you think everyone else is the problem? (you being used in the generic way, lest someone think I'm attacking SerLuke)
Okay say hypothetically they actually do have a problem, maybe major depression, or social anxiety, or Aspergers, etc, how is telling them they are the problem going to actually help anything except for making them feel bad? A therapist might help them sure, but a random stranger over the Internet telling you that “you are the problem” or “you are being over sensitive” isn’t going to help them.
