What lead up to the ban: It was my first shift as AI ever. I was trying to learn the role, when I got hit by an ION storm. My rules were changed to Antimov + THE CREW LOATHES INFATUATION. I didn't know the word infatuation, so I translated the law with an online translator, which basically translated it for me to: The crew despises being nice. Delta just ahelped me there and told me I was lucky and got "DAGD for AI's". So I went around, insulting command left and right while trying to get the nuclear reactor to explode by disabling the apc in the nuclear room to get the pumps unpowered, while also trying to set all air alerts to panic (because the other Malf AI's I had experienced were doing that) but that failed, because Engi couldn't get the Reactor running and so most air alerts were unpowered. At the same time, I had to defend my core from the constant stream of command trying to relaw me. I couldn't do much except turn on and turn off the APCs, bolt and shock doors and throw metal foam at them. In the heat of the battle, I replied to a salvage saying over comms, that they just should enter via the AI core entrance, with the question: "Do I look that r*****ed to you?"
Why you should be unbanned:
I knew r***** is an insult, but I didn't know it was a slur. My subscriptions are mostly coding Youtubers, who look on the code of others and the amount of times "r*****" is found in these videos is uncountable. Apparently these coders have normalised this word and as such don't flinch or react in a shocked way when they read this word. I come from Germany and my only experiences with this word happened on these channels. I once looked up the definition for that word, because I wanted to know what it exactly means, and the definition has been the same since then:
(Edit: The picture is unreadable, so im adding the content here:)
r***** (noun)
Code: Select all
A person who is stupid or inept, especially in social situations. I generally thought that r***** is a synonym for stupid, not a slur against disabled people. I have researched a bit more after this ban about this word and I am generally shocked how normal this word is used on these coding channels. The word "retardiert" (VERB) is also printed on my ADHD medication, which in this case is used to declare its long lasting effect.
I’m not a player that goes around and insults people. My character always turn into sorry-saying nice guys. While also playing as AI, I insulted people in a way that is untrue, so it wouldn't hurt them personally. I never try and be outright nasty, as I’m simply not that type of player. I didn't even want to be DAGD-AI, but I had read other ban appeals of people who were banned for refusing AI laws, so I didn't want to tell the admin, as I was just banned for a mistake of mine before and I didn't want give them a reason to ban me again.
To my own fault, I hadn't read the Slur Server Rule, as I didn't thought I would ever break this rule. I’m sorry for my actions and I swear I will never use that word again.
