Events leading to the ban
I was playing as pAI on a lawyer. Someone got admitted to sec, got jailed and got out. A secoff took soap from him and ate it, and the jailed individual asked the secoff to give the soap back, to which the secoff pointed at the vomit on the floor. I, trying to make a play on a meme genre I remembered which went something like: “your honor, my client is clearly (blank)”, and said: “Your honor, my client is mentally disabled.”. I didn’t mean for this to come off as offensive, I was making a joke. This seemed to have come off to the individual as offensive though, and despite apologising to the individual for my words, got reported and banned indefinitely.
Reason the ban should be removed
I regret my actions, and won’t make the same mistake again. My online friends had made it seem to me that anyone wearing a pin of any sort was doing it as a joke, so i made comments without thinking the person I was unknowingly insulting could actually be on the spectrum. If anyone is wearing any pins or the like, I will, from now on, not comment on them or make any comments regarding them as they might come off as offensive.
