Add report function for microaggressions

ayy waddup its yo boi

I earned a one month ban on Hypixel forums today and I was wondering what I had said or done to deserve it. After all, I didn't swear at anyone, nor did I cause any harm or start drama. I mean I did swear, but heck everyone does. Right? But then it occurred to me. It must have been microaggressions.

What else could it be?

DEFINITION: a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority.

A microaggression, wherever it may occur, is based entirely on someone's point of view. In other words, it could be literally anything. Anything. For instance, if someone sneezes and I say "God bless you!" that is a microaggression. What if they don't believe in God? They could get very offended. Or even worse, if I spread my legs when I sit on the bus, perhaps a bit too close to a female passenger sitting nearby that is manspreading. But it is also a microaggression. By spreading my legs I am showing a lack of respect for the female passenger's personal space, which may make them feel uncomfortable. Doing so harkens back to the days when men were spreading their legs all over the place. The hell with personal space. If a man's gotta spread a man's gotta spread! Violating one's personal space is a microaggression and, when it comes to women, highly sexist.

But that's not all.

In chat I have seen all kinds of microaggressions. 'Ez' is one. When someone says 'ez' it is an intentional act of discrimination against people who are bad at PvP. It marginalizes these people and makes them feel bad about themselves. And frankly, that's not OK. Or what about when, in CTF, someone is spamming the chat asking for a medic? By failing to recognize that I, as a medic, may be doing other things they are committing an unintentional act of discrimination against me as a player. That sh*t's got microaggression written all over it.

As such, to prevent further unfortunate incidents like the one described above, I suggest a report function for microaggressions on Brawl Games. A hotline would be nice but reporting microaggressions to 1-800-SNOWFLAKE may be a little ironic. /micro would work fine.

Please list all the times you've experienced microaggressions on Brawl Games below. If enough people reply with their experianced microaggressions we can form a support group to deal with the day to day harassment that plagues us all.

Stop the bullying. End the hurt.

I'm sorry to hear that and yes it does

I would also like to add that every time @Lord_Roke deletes my memes it is a microaggression because he does not appreciate the time and energy I put into making them.
