[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6204461, member: 4937"] If I had a group belittling another player for any reason, as a DM - and a friend - I'd consider it a big deal. What I'd do about it would probably depend on the particular people involved, but I'd address it. There is some teasing that goes on in my group, which at the moment - being drawn from a group of developers - is all male. One of my players is of IRL lawful inclination, while most of the group is IRL of a more chaotic bent. The player also has low self-esteem, and being teased plays off his low self-esteem. Those are issues I need to address as friend and a GM. It doesn't matter what the gender is. But its also true that some of the teasing is intended to be good natured. In a lot of groups - I used to work construction while my wife was in school - being teased and tested like that is normal. People want to see how you react to it. I can't say what was going in this group, I wasn't there - it doesn't sound like good fun. But if I was advising my girls how to handle being teased, it would be to try to handle it with humor and bravado - even if it made you really uncomfortable. I see disparagement of people by people as normal. But that is not the same as believing it is right and proper. There is much that is normal in the world that I don't wish to be so. Sometimes it's not clear why people don't say anything. I would certainly not believe because "it's all in good fun" would be the only reason. Sometimes people are afraid they'll make things worse. Sometimes they just want to avoid conflict. Sometimes they think that it would be better to address it privately. I don't know. The real world is very complicated. [/QUOTE]
