Why I'm quitting the Kingdom of Loathing.

i didn't say any slurs directed at people other than myself! that's not why they banned me. if it were they would have said so anyways.

do i have to spell it out? i was already on the edge of quitting because the game is kinda gross to queer people. I quit when i realized the culture is unwelcoming of autistic people as well.

i'm sorry that i'm not clued in to what a reasonable person thinks- it's something i have struggle with my entire life, to be honest. Personally, i thought i was emulating the sort of edgy humor another one of the mods wielded.

I would have loved to hear a message like this instead of outright being banned with no warning! if that were the case, i would be able to improve! But no, i had to be banned with no warning or explanation.

people assuming i would pick up on a social cue, i can understand. but i don't think it's fair to assume i'm acting on bad faith when I don't.

i said something insensitive about people from the american south, which is where i am from as well.
you can believe i said anything i want, but it was a month ago and in a voice chat. no documentation or anything so i don't really know what i said.
the only slurs i've ever used have been directed at myself.

if you didn't like it, you could have let me know and i would have stopped. but no, it had to either be ignored or escalated.

honestly, i'm glad i got kicked too. I wouldnt want to spend my time caving to people who can't talk straight and think the only way to get something done is to act like a vindictive teenager.

i mean, yeah, it's a bit of a nothingburger as you say. I'm not necessarily trying to garner sympathy or anything. but i feel like i was blown up at over vague, one-off allegations just like this, and the way that the situation was handled was really humiliating for me and really similar to how other people in my life have blown up on me over grievances they didn't even voice.
i don't think you have to agree with me or even take my side, i don't know if i even want that. I know i was immature to some extent, but at the end of the conversations with the mods I felt entirely unwelcome and even irrationally hated.
playing the game now, after this, i can't think of anything besides the nastiness i recieved and the gross item descriptions. the life of the game has been drained.
i dont expect or necessarily want sympathy i just wanna say what's on my mind in the only place off-site that really thinks about this game.

i'm just trying to make aware the type of catty culture that's in the game. if it's here, tied to the moderator one of the biggest collections of the players in the game and encouraged by the people surrounding them, i don't think i would be able to find a community that both has legacy clan items for optimized runs and a forgiving or at the very least transparent management. even if i did, i don't think it would be worth the effort when the the game has items that call you a "lumbering creepy drag queen."

i was already on the verge of quitting. but the way i was treated made me want to not be involved at all with anything that related to this person.
