We've had threads on how D&D itself has a colonial mindset, but I think that undersells how fucked up and racist players can be. I want this thread to be about players who go out of their way to make characters that break the fourth wall and ruin friendships outside of the game.

I'll start: I had a player come to me with their character: "Gucci, the rapping goblin bard". The details were what you would expect. Like he literally put a picture of Gucci Mane in the chat. I told him that this was blackface and I wouldn't allow it. He had a tantrum about being called racist, and now we no longer speak (lol).

    No, I'm being genuine, and yeah in person. Not in costume thankfully, but yeah it was a pretty aggressive caricature. He had also been doing this kinda thing, but it was mostly cringe uncomfortable and less extreme.

    Like did he try to sound like a cartoonish black gangster or something?

    yeah, that was the premise and central 'joke' of the character.

      Ah I see. That makes sense now. Initially I assumed he just had a picture and that was it. Yeah I’d definitely drop his ass
