DnD Player Offended By Gay Character | r/rpghorrorstories

[@alphons1456o]

One comment on the reddit thread for the first story said it best: There were better ways to ask the gay player out.

[@littlegiantj8761]

I once jokingly posted in my RPG discord "Humans are boring. TIEFLINGS are nore interesting!" And he responded "...man, there are easier ways to come out of the closet"

[@Omnywrench]

I take offense to the slang term "daywalker", but only because the opportunity to use the pun "gaywalker" was like, right there and y'all missed it

[@ArcCaravan]

Apparently "gaywalker" is for heterosexuals who can easily be mistaken for homosexuals, the opposite of this "daywalker".

[@bandwagonbuzzard1617]

​@@ArcCaravan that's a new one. Always used the phrase "I jam gaydar".

[@thecoloradokid5418]

Gaywalker Just sounds like the strangest callout in a random walking dead episode

[@AzureKyle]

Honestly, Michigan sounds more bigoted to me. He's offended by a gay stereotype, but then doesn't believe the gay guy is gay because he doesn't present as gay.

[@ArcCaravan]

Sounds about right. Wouldn't surprise me if Michigan just didn't want to play in a game with a gay character of any kind.

[@shadenox8164]

Speaking as a gay man, I'd concur with that assessment. Like he's so offended by a gay stereotype but finds someone being gay suspect because they aren't exhibiting those stereotypes normally? Real progressive.

[@RealSeanithan]

The "prove you're gay" story is just proof that the people who get offended on behalf of other people are the ones who actually have something against the people they're preteblnding to defend. I recall jumping in a discord call with a bunch of friends of mine, 90% of whom are gay or some derivative thereof, and I greeted them with a term that KZbin doesn't approve of. Someone I didn’t know was also in the call. He yelled at me for saying that word to people I claimed to be friends with. Well, one of us got jumped on and chewed out by the gay people in the call, and it wasn't me.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Bruh on the Daywalker term. I met straight people who I referred to as Gaywalkers because they are the stereotypical flamboyant personality type but are straighter than the cross. Its funny watching both sides confuse these people as gay.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Like, I am genuinely entertained by the people who claim to break gender stereotypical roles getting absolutely baffled that a straight person can also break the mould. Then these said people will realign their headspace by thinking "oh they're actually trans" despite the fact these people are quite comfortable in who they are. Dissonant minds like this deserve to be broken and I am here for it.

[@Farce13]

And this is why I tend not to think or care about someone's sexuality. It's hard to be sure and if I'm not interested in you it makes no difference to me

[@anthonyseverino8292]

For the first story about Michigan wanting proof of gayness id be like "ok, I'll prove it, under ther condition that you're the one I use to prove it".

Prove Your Gay Story. The absurdity of the argument can be seen clearly by pushing it to it's logical conclusion. If no one can play anything but what they are IRL, then everyone will be playing commoner humans. And regardless of how Michigan felt about it, Michigan had no right to demand some one prove who they are gay. Although I am now just a little curious just how Michigan wanted that proven, although I am afraid of the answer.

[@monikasernek1177]

Me too, but at the same time I don't want to know how someone could prove something like that.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Yeah these types are very weird about their gatekeeping of strange aspects that never mattered. "no, you can only play x because you are y!" And "how dare you, a y, play an x this way! Change it or I'm out!" are incredibly self centered phrases because they demand people to meet their own expectations of different roles. Anyone can play anything given the DM approves of it. If it's a joke character, you can take the grievances to the party and your beef player. If everyone says you are in the wrong, you might want to perform some internal investigation as to why you're pissed about someone else's character. Then again, this is next to impossible for narcissistic personalities.

[@NotYourEcho]

Anyone that thinks they get to do things like : force conversations about real world intimate preferences, attack the actual personal character of players by lobbing -isms, -ists, -phobic accusations, etc, *ABSOLTELY* needs to be ejected from gaming groups. You are there to play a fun game of make believe, not fight off actual social attacks by people incapable of separating reality from fantasy/fiction. People like that are social landmines, waiting to detonate and harm the lives of other people.

"Prove you're gay" is kind of like "prove you're straight" or "prove you're blind". Anybody can fake it. So, it's one of those things you just have to take someone's word for. Also, and his might be a hot take, but straight people can rp as gay and vice versa. It's a fantasy game and you are not you're character. Even if it's overblown and stereotypical. Quick Edit: What are the "P" and "C" words? I can think of a few curses that might work but none of them are so bad that you'd be afraid of saying the actual words.

[@PsychoSavager289]

C is definitely cunt - it's very liberally used in Australia. I guess P is pussy?

Being offended on behalf of a group you’re not even a part of is sometimes what’s known as ‘soft bigotry’. “Oh you poor oppressed [insert disenfranchised minority group]! You just sit there and let me speak out against the big mean [insert majority group] for you, sweety!” It’s infantilizing a group while having some unnecessary savior complex. That being said, I could understand Michigan not believing a gay man would purposefully play a stereotypical flamboyant gay character. It’d be like me, a Jew, playing a stereotypical caricature of a Jewish man, thick Yiddish accent and complaining attitude included.

[@ughwut2847]

[@AlinNightwing]

my best friend of all time is gay and hearing him and I talk back and forth you can't tell. I think the only time you'd tell is if a guy walked by he found attractive and you caught him staring then it's obvious. I always wondered if the, forgive me for not really knowing what else to call it, gay lisp / flamboyant voice, was just a forced trademark to identify each other more easily or if it was just a thing they came up with on their own to identify... but it does seem to be a thing. I work with a guy that we talk D&D all the time, he's gay, he's one of those 'bear' types, big heavy bearded hairy type and he talks clearly. I legit had NO Idea he was gay until he said the other day "if I can find a guy to marry me I'll be set"

[@KalinTheZola]

I can't say for sure but as an uneducated guess as a gay person, my guess is two things - one is it's a little bit of confirmation bias. I've met many straight guys who had a gay stereotypical voice but didn't think about their voice, but if i knew they were gay maybe I'd make the association. Similarly, if you expect stereotypes and don't see them, you may not realize that all those people you might have assumed were straight and had a nonstereotyped voice were actually gay. The other is camp culture in connection to the queer community coupled with a cultural tone/way of speaking. Not every gay person is interested in camp, but gay men especially are in average the largest proportion of camp enjoyers and I could see that bleeding into how some people speak.

[@eliasorta86]

Thanks for introducing the slang "daywalker" to me, my friends have always been telling me I don't act like other gays lol

[@AmaryInkawult]

I have animal people in my games, and not one gets this fucking weird. Each one has their own cultures that ISN'T the annual orgy going hedonists. Because I know furries better than the furries themselves at this point and I am still not sure to this day if the nightmares were worth it. But I digress, I know full well that furries aren't all hedonistic wanks hence why I craft my worlds carefully to ensure the majority of the cultural niches are fulfilled.

[@Jean-Luc_Renard]

I'm not a waiter, but here's some food for thought anyway. One: You can't "know" furries any more than you can "know" tabletop gamers, and to say you know a group better than themselves is historically dangerous territory. You're not the first person to think that way. Two: If you regularly use animal people in your lore and worldbuilding, you are a furry. Furries are people who like anthro character designs. You don't need a suit. You don't need a fursona. You don't need to attend conventions. You don't need an account with any furry website. You don't even need to interact with other furries. It's a matter of taste. Nothing more and nothing less. If this linguistic fact offends you, that says a lot about how you see furries. We're no more or less libidonous than anyone else. Many furries are asexual, many furries are prepubescent children, and one furry is my mother. I'd appreciate it if you refrain from talking about my family like that. Merci beaucoup.

[@bloodwolfgaming9269]

Reminds me of that one story from a while about a reporter who decided to go to a furry convention to "prove that ALL furries are sex freaks that do inappropriate things to animals" only to turn around in their story they published about how wrong they were once they went to a convention and actually started to get to know furries. It's like the people who think that ALL cops are power tripping assholes who abuse their power and only want to shoot people. Yeah, there are some absolute garbage cops in this world. But they are only a minority compared to the good ones. It's just the media only tells the masses about the bad ones. Same goes with furries. Yea...there are some rather messed up individuals in the community who take their fetish WAY to far. But it's only a small fraction compared to the community as a whole. But since there is that stigma out there, A LOT of people assume that ALL furries are that way just because a few of them are.

[@Calydor]

You can easily have a race with an annual hedonistic orgy tradition. It's just not that time of year during the game. It'll be a lore curiosity and nothing more.

Having two characters with evasion in the party sounds perfect for a DM that likes to use fireballs and similar spells.

Prove You're Gay!: This is stupid on many levels. Even if a player doesn't belong to a particular demographic, there's no prohibition against playing a pop culture archetype or even stereotype. Metagamers: If that's what they enjoy, I guess? It just seems like "Cheat Mode" might get boring fairly quickly. Kicked: Well, that escalated quickly. At least the problem was diagnosed and treated quickly. Zootopia: Ugh... When it comes to forcing peculiar kinks on other players, furries are certainly overrepresented. DM vs Players: This is why DMs need to study players' abilities with an eye toward creating opportunities for every players to use unique abilities rather than being surprised by them and summarily shutting them down. This is essence of the basic DMing principle of, "always shoot your monks." After they reach 3rd level, monks have Deflect Missiles as a reaction, but opportunities to use it are scarce. In world, this can be justified as the enemy archer believing that the unarmored guy is a better target than the paladin wearing full plate. Throw turnable undead at clerics, have hidden messages in druidic for druids to find or allow a creative application of Wildshape to work, have enemies realistically panic and flee before the seemingly unstoppable barbarian who just absolutely bodied one of their allies in a single turn--you get the idea. Challenge players but make sure their characters' unique abilities matter.

[@KalinTheZola]

There's definitely ways for a straight person to mess up a gay stereotype character, but it depends on the person and isn't limited to gay stereotypes. If you can implement stereotypes in an interesting and knowing/understanding of the broader context of said stereotype, then have at it imo. It's when you just spread a stereotype without even trying to understand it that I have a problem. You can even get edgy with it, idc. My best friend is a straight guy and could see him doing this easily because he's just been so surrounded by queer people for so long that he's just sort of osmosised that knowledge over time.

Daywalkers refers to people that are atypical in their groups. It's like a ginger without pasty skin or a lesbian who isn't butch.

I take that sauna story with a grain of salt, for a couple of reasons. First, the formation of the name and some grammar I saw makes me think they're speaking Portuguese, and by the numbers are probably Brazilian. I've known a few and being sensitive or reacting strongly happens a lot. But far more importantly, I'm old. Old enough to remember when Goon was the name for a Something Awful troll. When you reached despair saying "Vanity Fair" or "That Episode" (That broke spacetime and decency so bad that it still comes up if you Google That Episode.) There was little cross-pollination between groups and even today D&D kind of non-conspiracy creates little not just Normie fiefdoms but actual chronic gamer dude places. They tend to act like early Illuminaughti. Before she got into plagiarism and scams she did Reddit reading, badly. One of her go-to jokes was to do a furry sub and just fake vomit every time she saw furry intimacy. Not even cringe anything. It was forced, performative disgust over furries being intimate, like kissing or hugging. Like Cartman talking about gingers and Jews. So I tend to disbelieve the scope of "D&D guy bravely only vomits a little on seeing a furry, demands a crusade to destroy furries" stories. It sounds slightly awkward, and also sounds like a macho possibly Brazilian Goon performatively hated furries for Reddit karma from the other insincere PoMo always-online types.

That assumes DM would indeed leave new players at a disadvantage compared to veterans. Could give the new players free magic items or have a plot device cut off veterans from their old stuff.

Zootopia Story. I don't think there is any 'probably' to it. I think there was a train wreck coming and OP bailed accordingly.

[@ArcCaravan]

Agreed. Gave me OG FFVII bathtub scene vibes.

[@thatswinelord9155]

I think the speech infraction is really annoying my buddy is gay but he doesn't do that unless he's joking he's a very good guy and he doesn't feel the need to shove his preferences down every ones thought

[@shadenox8164]

Some people just talk like that my dude, why are you so fixated on things getting shoved down your throat?

[@odinsbaer]

Doge I accept and adore your content

[@DraconisWyrm]

how can you not like camp

[@SapphWolf]

3rd story... From the sounds of if they were going to have to each have a one on one fight naked. That's pretty tame dude. I've had that kind of thing happen in even non furry groups. A better reaction would have taken that moment to to get an idea of what is and isn't going to be expected in the game.

[@ArcCaravan]

The insistence on nudity and trapping the party in the room was enough red flags to leave. Someone not deconfirming OPs concerns afterward doesn't help, like they expected everyone to automatically enjoy whatever nude event happened.

[@SapphWolf]

@ArcCaravan Deconfirming their concerns? They didn't voice any concerns they just left the session and blocked the person who messaged them without responding. Like, I definitely get why someone would have been uncomfortable in that situation, but they made no effort to express that or move the game away from that kind of situation or get clarification on what kinds of themes are gonna be explored in this game and reevaluate if they wanted to be a part of the game. They just dipped.

[@ArcCaravan]

@@SapphWolf Apparently the group couldn't figure out why OP would be uncomfortable trapped with nude furries, instead assuming they'd enjoy the situation instead of asking what was wrong. And what would be gained from staying and having their fears confirmed?

[@SapphWolf]

​@@ArcCaravanThey literally were never given a chance to correct course or rectify the situation in any way. OP literally said nothing the entire time. Made no effort to communicate their feelings. Seemingly everyone else was having fun and continued to have fun after OP left. The scenario was present and OP dipped. That's it.

[@ArcCaravan]

@SapphWolf The person who messaged OP could have asked what was wrong instead of just saying OP missed "the best part". People are free to run fetish games so long as they are up front about it and understand not everyone wants to join them or stay with them.

[@Random_Chiroptera]

IMO, story 1, trash taking itself out.

[@MasquedMocha]

i'll never understand gayte keeping

[@unknowntitan5884]

First story. For things that never happened 😂😂😂😂

[@dracone4370]

I think Doge might like Magical Kitties Save the World, might be fun to see him get some players together to play the game with him playing one (or more) of his kitties or having all his kitties playing some notable NPCs if he's the GM

Where did “daywalker” come from? Lmao - Definitely don’t say that here.

[@littlegiantj8761]

Blade. The titular character is what'z called a Daywalker; essentially a Dhampir. He's got the speed and resiliance of a vampire, but he can survive sunlight.

[@JustWordsAndOpinions]

@littlegiantj8761 oh yeah. Gotcha.

[@Lothmar22]

Shame the trash taking itself out in the first story cost you a session but meh. ~*shrug*~

[@manikill7]

Damn. I should start listening to glory story videos more, maybe I'll actually see stories where furries aren't creepy pervs and diddlers. I have a furry centric setting myself, but would never do things like this. Here's a PSA, you can be a furry, and play D&D without being a creep, it is possible I just wish people would try. Haha

[@shadenox8164]

I mean being a furry I play with other furries and we don't have that problem. Like you've noticed its just selection bias from listening to horror stories.

[@AenVegra]

Anyways, we play other people because we want to play other people. metacognize people ;P We're here to play something interesting and seperate from what we know. We're here to escape.

[@ZenoxusNicolai1234]

I 100% dont get the difference between calling someone a dick or a cunt end of the day your calling them a asshole either way Dick is just more common in the US and its wilds to treat either different.

[@CooperAATE]

Doge Time

[@CooperAATE]

15:32 No, the OP had it right with "Ranger and me." Always treat the sentence as if the other party isn't involved. "John brought dessert for I" isn't right, so "John brought dessert for Ralph and I" would be wrong.

[@Darkjolteon]

Good Video!

I thought you were American

[@ArcCaravan]

I was betting English.

19:47 I think he means stuff like cat girls

[@attackboss6]

Dndoge lgbt???

[@patjacksonpodium]

First story - Yeah this is one of those stories where I'm not sure anyone was in the wrong here. I feel like the worst case scenario is that OP and friends were the type to not be offended by something, but aren't able to fully process why OTHER people might be. It's not a super great look, as based on what they said about the language they used, I'm guessing the issue is that they aren't bothered by using the F Slur. Which is fine I guess but it makes you look like a shitbag nowadays. Which, again, if homeboy is gay and still uses that language and (probably) goes all Bronson Pinchot in Beverly Hills Cop in game, that's their right. But you still look bad. That's all I'm saying. Probably best for them to part ways, because I'm not even gay and that would bother me too.

[@lamiahunter]

“Nobody would know im gay” you’re playing dungeons and dragons, automatically gay

[@thepurehealer1279]

Ehhhhh, I feel like the paladin story feels dubious and I'm not sure I trust it. For one the gear discrepancy would make me uncomfortable too? It feels like he's touting up his one friend who still played (and it is his ONE friend being the only person) also despite it being stated "I'm sure the GM will do x" he never actually states that such a thing happened, that and OP talking in the GM's place feels very icky for me ngl. But what do I know
