Should I have reported this?

See here is the difference, by calling them a moron you are insulting the person. A person has feelings. Calling a character ugly should have no impact, they are not real.

Isn't the intent, behind the comment about a characters appearance, to insult that person though? Otherwise, why would anyone say something like that?

You are assuming the intent, thus creating an issue by said assumption. Going based solely off the comment the character was ugly. That is all we have to go by.

Much in the same way that you are also assuming intent?

I am just going based off the comment. Did he insult me or my character? He insulted my character so while an assumption it is one grounded by the comment itself.

I have to add extra information to reach to the intent that their goal was to insult me.

Why do you think they said it.

Idk, I am not them and I am not in their head. I can really only go based off what was said.

What I think is kinda of moot cause my reasoning may not be the reason why they said. Getting impacted over how I perceive their comment without knowing their intent or reason seems weird no?

What could be a good reason for them say this?

We all could debate whether or not someone should report or whether or not they should or should not find something offensive, but, depending on the GM, this could probably be considered a ToS violation.

In the ToS they even have clear examples of tone when responding to others in-game, with examples of violations and non-violations. Just outright saying someone's character is "hideous", while I was not able to find a similar or specific example, is very likely an offense simply by how it was said.

Additionally, a third party can find something offensive, report, and it should be considered a violation according to the ToS. There should even be examples, such as if there are 10 people, 9/10 of them can be fine with something, but if that last person isn't: it's a violation. It doesn't even matter if it is directed at them, if I recall.
