8: Explanation of the situation:
Rather than this situation starting today, it actually began about a week ago, when we were playing Westersand. I was talking in the chat with another community member who is also Spanish, like me, and we were discussing some cultural topics that seriously affect our country nowadays, namely uncontrolled illegal immigration. Out of nowhere, this player that I am reporting jumped into the conversation, without anyone inviting him. I suppose he felt lonely at that moment or something, and he started insulting the Spanish nation, my family, and my friend’s family. Obviously, we did not take it well.
From that point on, we told him he was a “moro” and that he should stop bothering us. The thing is that “Moro” is not an insult—if you look at different pages of Spanish history, you can see that it was simply a way to refer to the inhabitants of the northern part of Africa, who were more exposed to the sun than the inhabitants of our country.
¿Por qué es despectivo decir moro?
Si alguien lo considera despectivo, seguramente se trata de un ignorante. Moro es como se decía desde tiempos ancestrales a los naturales de Mauretania, una antigua provincia romana del norte de África.
For several minutes he continued to bother us without stopping, insulting us, until a staff member wrote to my friend and me through the admin chat telling us to stop, even though at no time did we have any intention of disturbing anyone. That was the first situation.
Now, a few days ago I changed my spray in the game to a meme, which this same person did not take well. As soon as I entered the server this afternoon—before I had even pressed a single key—the first thing this player wrote to me was asking if I wanted him to buy me a ticket to visit him so that he could “teach me what respect is.” I replied that I had no idea what he was talking about.
Then he started insulting me over the spray, saying it was racist, and began speaking in French with the same administrator who told us to stop the last time. Since I am Spanish, I could not understand anything.
I also want to mention that today, after he kept throwing insults at me over the spray and sending me messages, when I asked what he was trying to tell me and which was his purpose, the player continued provoking me. I then asked him if he was French, and immediately a staff member told me to stop, even though I don’t think I said anything wrong. In my opinion, there seems to be a bit of favoritism depending on someone’s race or country, but I don’t want to get into these topics, for everyone’s benefit and because I think it would be pointless.
What I want to make clear with this report is that if I am having a conversation with someone, another unrelated person should not interfere just to criticize and throw insults, because that is not gentlemanly behavior, and if it is just to complain, it comes across as childish.
Finally, I do not want any punishment to be applied to this player. The only thing I ask is that he no longer addresses me at any time while I am playing on the server, and that he does not bother my other friends or teammates either, because of our ideas.
9: Proof: I didn’t want to take screenshots of the messages because I think it’s useless when there are so many of them, so the only thing I’m going to leave here is a picture of my spray, which in my opinion is not offensive at all, but simply a meme. Just as it shows a Moroccan having a child with a goat, it could also show a Galician — who are Spaniards as well — since there are also jokes about them having sex with goats, depending on how they fall from a bell tower.
