Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
(files.catbox.moe)
Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.
Because some people just want to. It's the same thing as choosing your character's nationality, sexuality, race, face features etc. Let people play what they want.
I never implied that people shouldn't play what they want and even said in my first post that I don't see why someone would have issues with it. In my last response I thought you were talking about real life, since the conversation has been going back and forth between games and real life. Do whatever the fuck you want with your character. Why would I care?
Way too harsh there.
Your earlier comment was not "what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?" If it was meant to mean that, I don't understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player's, or the character's?
The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.
I meant that if a player wants to be crippled and someone heals their character out of it, then the player might not be encouraged to continue playing with that character. Also there's a second bottom where it might disrupt their interactions with other characters or in the worst case completely erase their persona.
