Discord: Beware bait memes

[ImaShootsYa]

So, whilst at work I get a notification stating I'm banned from the discord which shocked me to say the least.
Reason: transphobic behavior in memes

Which had me confused since I never post politically charged memes on DRG and always keep it respectful and stay on topic. I did a little research and found another post where someone got banned for reacting with a sad face on an LGBTQ meme and I'm thinking that's what has happened here. A moderator posts a pride meme and any reaction that isn't a heart gets banned. Politically charged baiting. I'm open to discussion with any discord moderator as I'd like to be back with my dwarven brothers but banning folks for emojis is low. I'm in the discord to play DRG, joke with my brothers, and have a good time.
If the mod shows up I'll DM you my discord tag and we'll see if I'm correct about what happened.

Okay thats weird.
Person A posts a political picture but then you arent allowed to react with your opinion or an emote huh?

Well, the times we live in.

hmm.. don't worry dwarf Furious will look it up when he comes online

Trans people also want to play DRG, joke with their brothers, and have a good time.
Absolutely no one reacts with """sad""" faces to memes they dislike. Something tells me the reason you had another reason to react with a """sad""" face.
Also, it's important to know that the moderators of the discord have been harassed before by alt righters, so they don't want to take risks.

If you truly got caught in the crossfire and didn't mean anything bad, Dwarfurious will come and fix the situation.

Hate isn't an opinion.

Hating and not agreeing are two things. And as long as we dont know what happened, we dont know.
Id also react pretty annoyed if someone starts posing anything politically or sexually related out of the blue and expects people to just agree with it.
Cuz thats happens a lot recently.
Person X posts something unrelated about their political view or sexuality and then reacts deeply offended when someone questions it or doesnt agree.

Ehhhh, most places on the internet would collaps immediately without mods.

Yeah, don't want anyone getting into fights here I'm just confused....I don't know if it was a reaction that got me the boot but I know for a fact it wasn't a meme I posted as I go out of my way to create original DRG stuff to post.

[Waldherz]

I reported your post as a discord ban appeal. Usualy helps and seems to be the ongoing norm here ^^

Another is how its infecting the Steam forums now.

[Maximum stupidity]

At this point it won't suprise me, if they add a subforum for discor ban-apeals, with the amount we're getting recently

[Chibbity]

They've really gone off the deep end with the bans over there huh?

Maybe they should disallow memes or reactions if they are so problematic?

boohoo people different to me exist boohoo
