So I play World of Warcraft and post on their official site web forum.
Well today they were discussing the announcing of their newest game expansion at some German gamecon location. Apparently people who had watched the streaming event noticed the crowd wasn't overly enthusiastic and took that as a sign that fans weren't really all that into the game after seeing the initial details.
So people spent time discussing why this was and I just happen to throw in the idea that people get a bit concerned when large groups of Germans get fanatical while in the presence of a charismatic speaker. Of course anybody with half a brain would realize I was making a joke.
Well I go back later and I've had my account suspended for 24 hours because of "racial hate speech".
Apparently they don't realize that I'm a blonde, blue-eyed male. I didn't realize I could commit hate speech via a very tame joke against people of my own race.
