Having an Imaginary character who is proud of their 18 Strength, Dex, Con and Charisma is obviously body shaming the real life players so I guess we can’t have that either
Wisdom is more your physical senses in D&D (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing), not actual real world "Wisdom".if they have a 3 Wisdom, they are unable to apply that knowledge to real life and will make “stupid” decisions

This issue could be expanded on, in that we all have our own quirks, likes and dislikes, so while we may be welcoming to a diverse people, we select who we game with for a multitude of reasons.But I do care that the hobby as a whole is welcoming to diverse people, which means fostering a culture that does not tolerate intolerance.
