I received a disturbing message today friends. GM's and other staff have been banning people who are roleplayers and encourage violence against groups of ingame races such as gnomes, high elves, barbarians and erudites, calling it "hatespeech and racism." Is harmless roleplaying in a high fantasy environment not allowed anymore? Dungeons and Dragons typically have roleplaying against specific races, why is it forbidden on an Everquest Emulator?
Staff can we receive a clear message regarding the legality of such gameplay? Roleplaying is a classic and valuable mechanic that many players immerse themselves in.

You're not fooling anyone. You're not roleplaying Norrathian racism. You're using euphemisms to imply RL slurs. I don't know whether you're just doing it to annoy and offend people or to express your racist feelings, but it doesn't matter. Players here dislike it and clearly some are complaining to the GMs.
It's obvious this isn't about the freedom to roleplay. There's a lot more to fantasy roleplaying than racism, and you don't do any of it. Your roleplaying is a parody and a sham.
You are merely butthurt because you're finally facing consequences for your xenophobic trolling.
