Title says it all. (PS: Not sure who exactly Kami-Sama is on the actual wiki, but he shows up as Kami Sama on the Discord which is what matters here the most)
Why? To summarize: Because he's too oversensitive, he sees even the most harmless sentences like some sort of personal attack to either himself or others, be they other users or simply certain groups who don't even need to be present in any way on the server. Hell, he does this even when everyone sees it and knows it's a joke, funny or otherwise.
But until now, that was irritating but not worthy of something like this. This isn't just for that, but also because as of today he made it clear he's happy to engage in victim blaming. Which is disgusting, even when I'm not the one victim-blamed.
For recent examples there's the "argument" I had with Young Kaiser on the RWBY channel of the Discord. And by "argument" - which was Kami's own wording of it - I mean "catfight-slash-dick measuring contest". Nobody was being serious there, no-one, not Kaiser, not me, and none of the people watching it.
What would've been reasonable was for someone to pop up and tell us to do it out of the RWBY channel, since it was indeed 100% irrelevant. But it never happened so it continued - never turning into an actual fight of any sort - until it went down into real shitposting for fun, comedic chaos so to speak, and not just between Kaiser and me.
Then, at one point, long after the "argument", for fun, Ark (Arkantos95 here) says something in spanish. And, for fun, I say "Oh shit, Ark learned spanish. Oh wait, he sells mexican food on a gas station. Nvm". Kami's response? Accuse me of making a racist joke, of all things, towards Mexicans. Even though:
1) THAT IS LITERALLY ARK'S JOB. Something he does not keep secret, at all. In fact he himself has mentioned how he got good at spanish (which I can validate) thanks to it.
2) There is NOTHING in that entire sentence that is racist. Or did I miss something, and selling mexican food on a gas station is racist towards mexicans now?
3) Ark is not even Mexican to begin with, he's American. And I'm latino myself (Venezuela - and yes, Kami was told hours ago. He dismissed it as "I don't keep track of it", paraphrased). So it's even less racist towards mexicans than it could've ever been, the only mexican thing was the freaking food.
Kami's reasoning for thinking it was racist? "Mexicans selling tacos is a stereotype in the US". And apparently:
1) Everyone was supposed to know that as if it was obvious common knowledge. Because we are all Muricans and we all know every single stereotype in the US, apparently.
2) Saying that someone works by selling mexican food reinforces that stereotype, even if the person in question is not even mexican, and even if that is legit their actual job.
Ark and I rarely agree on anything but even he can tell it was ridiculous.
And then we get to the Victim-Blaming part.
Like an hour later, Kami shows up again, saying that because me and Kaiser were the main part of the "argument", both me and Kaiser are banned. Me, at least for 1 week, Kaiser I think for 1 day.
It's one thing to ban us for something that small that wasn't even a heated discussion. But it's another to ban Kaiser for it, when he didn't even do anything. I was the one who started it, and the main person who prolonged it, and none of us, and even less Kaiser, said anything truly ban-worthy.
And yet, he still gets banned, just for "being a part of it". That's just cheap, ridiculous, and completely unfair, especially to Kaiser.
Mods throwing bans over questionable things isn't new, but Kami's action and attitude takes it to a level one just cannot stand and ignore. We're not being banned for throwing heated insults as if we wanted to strangle each other, or for saying a bunch of racist words, or for posting questionable pictures. We're being banned for a freakng joke, and in Kaiser's end for something he didn't even start.
I'm 100% sure the term "Miscarriage of Justice" applies here. Kami's attitude isn't new but if he's going to be ban-trigger happy about it, he should not have those rights to begin with.
Now if you want pics, I can't give them to you. The moment one gets banned from a server on Discord it vanishes for them and they can't enter it again, not even just to lurk around.
EDIT: The bans were reduced by Grif to 3 days (for me) and 2 hours (Kaiser) since we weren't 100% innocent overall but the original length was excessive for what happened. Thx man.
