Hello fellow unfortunate M&B-lovers.
I recently got muted (for a week) and while I wont deny having definitely been on and probably over the line of what could be considered offensive I just want to have some kind of clarification of what might be OK and not in the chat.
For example, when playing against the Aserai I will call them camel-lovers with obvious negative implications. Is this considered racist or stereotypical when talking about a fictional culture? I have called the Vlandians feudal jews which is likely what got me my mute (?) which I realise was a dumb thing (and makes me deserve the ban) to say but when I saw someone using the expression I found it hilarious. Sorry to have offended.
I of course have given the tip to press G to use the pike and dumb things like that which I would say is pretty harmless but might go under trolling?
Please note that I'm not trying to get out of my mute or w/e I just want to know if going forward it's OK to slander the other factions in the chat if I keep real world religions etc out of it. When I play Arerai I personally always use the camel so for me personally getting called camel-lover wouldn't be offensive as much as accurate.
Regards
Gripen
