Reason for Ban: Racism/Hate Speech

I was having an argument in chat with someone who had a furry porn pfp that its kinda strange to be attracted to animals. someone asked if their pfp was from porn, they replied yes, i told them thats kinda weird, and its not normal. didnt know that was a hot take. The player was judy hopps. To imply racism is absurd.

Just want to add onto this. I feel like the admin who banned me, did it for personal reasons.

The admin who did it was: https://steamcommunity.com/id/TrueSqueaks/

This is their PFP:


I decided to reverse image search it on google.

It seems their PFP is from an NSFW video. I don't think they should be banned for that or anything. I just think it shows the motives behind the reason why I was banned.

For proof heres the video, its pretty obvious its the same character.

WARNING NSFW

I feel like all this is pretty silly.

You were calling people animal fuckers for their furry pfp(s) which falls under the hate speech reason (which is listed there, not sure why you felt the need to defend yourself for racism). I just so happened to be the admin to hand out your punishment it could've been any admin. Speaking of which my pfp has nothing to do with the way you were insulting other players and on top of that it shows no signs of being nsfw, you just decided to reverse image search it and it just so happens to be nsfw so you're trying to use that as a defense card. It shows very well what kind of character you are and that the punishment was warranted.

I think its fair to call people that when the conversation when i joined from another player was "the dragons from how to train a dragon make me feel a certain way" and then another player admits to their profile pfp being from porn.

Most people would be curious to check out the person who banned them, and then would probably more curious when seeing another animal character giving fuck me eyes on the profile, and wonder where that might be from. It instantly comes up on google.

The first guy i was talking to about the dragons realized i was just playing around, and didnt seem to care about what i was saying. im guessing it was the second player that took offense seeing their pfp was genuinely from porn. it just felt biased from my point of view when the persons pfp that dealt the ban, is also a nsfw furry pfp.

Am i a malicous character to think someone who looks at humanized animal porn to think that its strange and react accordingly? I mentioned the racism part because i wasnt sure why that was listed on my ban reason. Since the reason said "Racism/Hate speech" making it seem like i said something a LOT worse, than calling someone an animal fucker. If you can view any demos of when i was playing, i didnt call any furry an animal fucker, until they admitted to be attracted to furry porn.

Your ban reason is one of our pre-canned options available for our staff to choose from that generally tend to align with our server rules. In this case it sounds like your actions were construed as a directed attack against certain players in our server(s) which is covered by rule 3.

It probably wasn't appropriate for them to be talking about those subjects in our servers, but that doesn't give you the right to start directly insulting and/or verbally attacking them for it. The appropriate course of action would be to mute and/or report them to staff and move on; inflaming the situation with vitriol benefits nobody.

Furthermore, if you're going to try to accuse a staff member of improper behaviour over a typical first-infraction punishment duration of 3 days, I suggest you come prepared with something more than just "I think they are the same type of person as those I was verbally attacking" to justify your claim.
