This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Serous question: Ban for homophobia?

I have a serious question about this forum? Can I be banned for "homophobia"?

Some background - I got banned from the Paizo forums for starting a thread in which I started crowdsourcing an effort to remove LGBTQPP+ NPCs and narratives from the modules and APs, and rewriting them to make heteronormative. The thread itself descended to lunacy, with people accusing me of "religious bigotry" even though I didn't mention religion, and don't attend church anyway. I am just not interested in gay, lesbian, transgender, or whatever themes, and the insertion of these non-fantasy modern themes sit outside my comfort zone in the context of a fantasy RPG.

So... my question is, can I be banned on this forum for a question like this?

You'll be ruthlessly mocked and laughed at.

If your sole contribution to this board is stirring up shit for the purpose of your political views, eventually yes, you'd probably be banned.

I suggest getting yourself a hobby. I've heard that roleplaying is quite good.

OK, the fact that I am not already banned means that I am good to go. Ruthless mocking I can handle. I'm not here to troll, I am actually serious.

In Paizo's Pathfinder, Princes marry trannies, something that I find completely absurd.

Thank you for the welcome. I look forward to contributing.

Hi - I saw your thread on Paizo and wanted to show support but hesitated because as you mention the regulars soon became irrational in their bullying and ultimately banned you. Their conduct really left a bad taste in my mouth and I have hardly been back since. Haven't create an account on a new forum for years but was compelled today to do so here.

Now i've seen your second post, i've changed my mind.

Although Pundit wants as close to free-speech as he can get without out and out tolerating hate peddlers, it's obvious this is either a put-up job (complete with anonymous new poster supporter) or you're fixated on non-gaming matters.

This is a gaming board first and foremost and i'll be damned if i'm going to let little twits like you use it to further your bigotry - or most likely, be having a laugh with your mate.

You asked the question and now its been answered.
