It makes them seem petty at best, and malicious at worst. It doesn't inspire my eagerness to engage, but instead makes me question why this person is behaving in this way, simultaneously taking me out of the experience and dampening my enthusiasm in one fell swoop. If this is part of a pattern of similar behavior, I'm liable to believe that the DM isn't actually serious about running both roleplaying and gaming, which is (IMO inherently) the whole point of actually playing a roleplaying game. You can get better roleplay elsewhere if you want mostly pure roleplay. You can get better game elsewhere if you want mostly pure game. TTRPGs are the one place you can get both of those things united together in a way that is more than the sum of their parts.</blockquote>
