Hi there.
Per our Rule 4 (bolded for emphasis):
For some additional context, slurs like "bitch" have been historically applied to women as a means to oppress or demean them, specifically to prevent them from voicing dissenting opinions or being assertive. Men have used the word as a label to dehumanize women, exclude them, and to justify abusive behavior and violence. This word in particular has a long history, and although the meaning has changed over time it has always been used to as a pejorative label towards women.
Bearing that all in mind, this is not something we want in our community. There is no value in discussing this further as this is not a topic we're going to change stances on.
Permabans can be appealed in 30 days after they are applied.
Per our Rule 4 (bolded for emphasis):
Quote:Bigotry and sexual content is a non-negotiable hard 'no'. If you are unsure what sexual content includes: do not refer to sex acts, genitalia, or anything sexual in nature. This includes erotic roleplay, which encompasses all situations which are erotic or suggestive in nature (e.g. 'spooning', making out, etc.), and not only those which are sexually explicit. Rape 'jokes' are considered sexual content. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use the word 'rape' in this game. Yes, you can call people dicks and insult them with terms that are used normally, but don't use bigoted language or slurs. Common examples of bigoted language include calling people 'retards', 'cunts' or 'traps', using 'gay' in a derogatory manner, or using gendered slurs like "pussy" and "bitch."
