new reason to kick people from static raids

[Elfidan]

People shouldn't be kicked based on race gender or sexual orientation, however something feels out of place here. If you really did get kicked for this I'm sorry , but discrimination law doesn't really protect you on the internet with anonymous individuals. Best to let it go, warn others , and find some people who get you as a person before engaging in serious business like end game raiding. I can somewhat relate as I belonged to a free company that did something similar to a good friend of mine. Needless to say we let them go and never looked back.

Sounds sort of fishy, but assuming it's true, I would encourage the OP to roll his eyes and move on. It's frustrating, but not a setback that can't be recovered from.

Let's try not to take this thread too seriously, now. If we do, it will end up being a troll thread regardless of whether or not that was its original intention.

Not buying it. Sounds like we're missing the whole story....or it's a troll. Lot's of troll posts this week for some reason. Must be the weather.

If you're actually straight then why are you upset about not being able to play with bunch of dicks? :thinking:

[Sylvina]

I know its hard to believe the OP was kicked for that reason but I've met people even dumber than the ones who kicked him, sadly people that stupid are quite common.

I believe the OP.

My question is, what did OP say in Discord to make it so obvious he is a straight white male?

I mean, if they just flat out asked "What's your race and orientation?" and then kicked you, sure, that's rude as hell--but what kind of static would even ask something like that? Were you like... trying to join a LGBT+ only static or something?

If they didn't just ask, the only way they'd know you were a straight white man is if you a) volunteered that information (and why would you feel the need to share that without it being asked in conversation?) Or b) You said something patently fedora-esque that made your continued presence undesirable in the group.

End of the day, nobody is required to put up with someone they don't want to in their self-selected group, regardless of reason. It's up to the static leader who stays in the static, and though it's obviously not best practice, they could have kicked you just for wearing a glamour they don't like. If you don't want to ever be kicked again, start your own static for straight white males.

How on earth would someone know you're a straight white male? Who goes into dungeons proclaiming such things? "Hi, lesbian asian lady here!" In 3+ years of playing, I can honestly say not a single person has ever bothered to share their gender, sexual preference, religion or race out of the blue in the DF. Who cares?

This is a chat log I'd love to see.... would be veeeeery interesting....

did you never join a discord and first thing you say is "Hi, I am straight guy!" Thats probably what happen since its already troll thread lol

This. No normal person picks up a megaphone and announces their sexual orientation to people they barely know without having been solicited that information in the first place (and even then, what normal person would even answer such a request seriously?), especially to a freaking raid group. And if someone does, chances are they have actual problems that have nothing to do with their orientation and more to do with having a highly questionable personality in general.

I got kicked cause I wasn't a lala so they couldn't rub and kiss my belly button.
