Your side of the story:
I was playing as the RD. At the beginning of the shift, I met a player in medical and requested white shoes from them, for style reasons. I called the character “Woman!”
A bit later in the round, I went to the medbay and requested white gloves, once again calling the character in question “Woman”. I received them from another player.
Later, I went to medbay again and I took some plasma sheets from the container the medical player was dragging. They went after me and a quick slapfight between us happened. I hid behind airlock and called the security, they called HoP, he came in and persuaded that medical player to leave R&D and order more plasma from cargo.
After that, the player wrote on OOC that they are offended by me using “word” woman in patronizing manner. An admin name of which I forgot, told them to write ahelp.
After some time I ahelped by myself as I was getting increasingly worried, saying that I am ready if they want to question me.
The admin told me that it was sexist and I shouldn’t mix real world issues with game.
After next shift started, I got permabanned.
Why you think you should be unbanned:
I think the permaban is out of proportion. I involve myself with womens’ rights movements irl considering how my country is hostile for basic human rights and getting banned over such thing really makes me unease. I used the term “woman” in same way like you can imagine a HoS patronising his officer calling him “boy”.
I stopped calling that character “woman” after their OOC message and was okay with it. I want to play this because it is a development of my beloved spessmen and I was gladly introducing people into stuff like Nanotrasen, what the heads are “supposed” to do, how HoS ordering to kill criminals on sight is bad, etc. I point this out because I don’t want to be cosnidered a shitter.
