I have a moral/ethical question for you all. Has to do with what's funny and what's not. Last night on city trade chat on WoW they were joking about child molestation. Now. I know, I know. Don't feed the trolls. Ignore them and move on. I always do that, even when I'm completely disgusted. However, this was really going too far. So I said something. I shouldn't have kept arguing with them, I know, but since I did we can all see how people react to being called on their offensiveness. Also, it seems if you think rape is bad, it means you were raped, so you don't count. LOVELY. I removed all of the actual trade chat bits since it made it more confusing. I'm also missing the very beginning, where Lily also told them to stop a couple times. I know, they were kidding, I know they're stupid young kids, but it seems to me that a line has to be drawn somewhere. I don't think it matters that they were 'joking'. The fact that they think it's funny is all in itself disturbing. What do you all think? Does it make you upset? Did I go too far or not far enough? Should I have let it go as joking? Do they deserve to be banned?

Also, they assumed I was a guy the whole time, which is pretty interesting. Actually, from a removed point of view, the whole thing is quite socially interesting. Oh. I was on my gnome mage alt, her name is Rubyjada. (because she was my second character and I'm terribly creative.) Oh, and obviously, the content of the conversation below is quite unpleasant at times, just to warn you.

21:39:55 [Darkfiremage]: :o
21:40:00 [Darkfiremage]: Well.
21:40:52 [Purpledrankz]: My friends about to be so mad when he realises i logged on and got him banned
21:40:54 [Purpledrankz]: Sup

Would you have reported them? Which ones? And, on that subject, I received an account warning for harrassment myself for saying "21:35:16 [Rubyjada]: I don't have a son and I wouldn't rape him even if I did. I'm not you.". Isn't that great. Stand up for yourself and tell the people who think rape is funny that it's not, and you get an account warning. Whoever reported me must have really thought it was funny. *sigh* I was really too angry to be responding, though. Also, if I was going to get a warning, I'd expect it would be for calling them disgusting assholes . . .

Do I need to chill out, or is this inappropriate enough to get upset? Really curious . . .

wow: trade chat, wow, real life: jerks
