Kathy Phillips Player Report

In-game report:

CKEY: Sirborrito

Your Discord: dutchessrito

Offender’s CKEY: ???

Offender’s In-Game Name: Kathy Phillips

Date (YYYY-MM-DD): 2024/10/20

Round Number: multiple rounds

Rules Broken: 7 - Be excellent to each other

Incident Description: Kathy has for the last many sessions I have played with them, been quite racist and nasty towards moths and lizards. Though I recognize that making flawed characters is their purgative, I do feel as though it is making myself and several others around me quite uncomfortable. She has made habits of creating disturbances in medical and refusing to leave, refusing to call individuals by preferred names, and in positions of security, acted quite discriminatorily towards moths and lizards. I feel this really isn’t the kind of behavior that makes for a very good roleplay environment, and certainly takes from the “being excellent” to one another, as we are all trying to simply have fun and enjoy the game, and her actions seem to be making that more difficult.

Additional Information: This began a few days prior to the report and has been a constant for several days.

Add On Time!

I’ve had not a ton of interaction with Kathy, because its not the best. But my first interaction with them was, them forcing my attention as chemist to make a request, only to lecture me on proper manners, something i wouldn’t get as a bug. And rude and even racist characters are just that, an IC trait so it is what it is, but I told them I have no reason to help them with their request because their mean.
They then went on to walk into medbay, and ask again at my second window, after being told no they broke it down. Security was unwilling, and is generally unable to handle things like this due to actual antags. They then went on to degrade and berate other medical staff when they took my side, including the CMO who had to try and forcefully remove them from medical.


This is my first time adding onto a report like this so you’ll have to forgive my addition, and any issue’s with it. But really, id like to just add again, that rude and racist characters are fine, I mean I don’t love them but that’s personal preference. But its the demanding something of someone after berating them, breaking their workstation, and then for 30 minutes, from when they first came up to my window, to when they had 2 doctors and CMO telling them to leave, that it just got ridiculous and was apparent they just had no regard for us, or for treating medbay like a department they weren’t apart of being chef that shift.
All in all, its nice to have characters with strong personality on shift, and on station but when they not only disturb the workflow, but hinder the enjoyment that people OOC are having is when its an issue. And I just wanted to add onto this report to bring mention to the fact its not just the OP who’s had this issue, but thats it for me •ᴗ•

i love you all and hope you have a great day ヾ( ´・ω・`)

If you can not provide a round ID to support these claims, they typically aren’t considered.

Also

I’m no admin but well said, Raspberry. Part of roleplaying is including flaws, may it be minor or major whilst adhering to the rules of not antagonizing as a non-antagonist.

I can look into 50387, but everything else here without a round ID is essentially a baseless claim.

Also, I wouldn’t get your hopes up if this report is just because someone was racist to your character IC.

Understood, though i would like to clarrify, it is that i believe that her doing it to numerous people is making a lot of people uncomfortable. I do understand, though, if thats not something that can be adressed

This is the same round a matching ahelp was made. There will be no new logs within that round as we were put on guard for that round (this was also a very short nukies round)

We have been made aware to watch for this if it’s being a problem as of that ahelp, there’s nothing that can be done for past rounds if exact IDs and incidents aren’t given though.

Okie! Im not the OP but absolutely will take that into consideration especially for next time and keep a better eye on round numbers and when things like this happen. Sadly, i cant remember what round it was and im apart of so many I doubt i’d even be able to guess which my comment came from.

    Ps. ily

beestation’s official stance on racism has basically always been this:

Hello. I would like say that before this report I have not been in any way informed that my actions might be causing you or others to be uncomfortable due to everyone replying to my banter in an IC manner. I was not once contacted by an admin about this until one informed me about this report and tried to get my side, nor was I told by anyone through LOOC to cease my actions. I made sure my comments weren’t very aggressive, going into a territory of OOC insults, and that I only made them when there was obvious lack of action so that you and others wouldn’t need to deal with my gimmick on top of real antagonists. As for creating disturbances in medbay, I did leave plenty of times when I was told to and was always cooperative with security on those matters if they were even present before I left myself. I made sure to never damage the medbay’s infrastructure, other than what Raspberry said about me breaking the window. During that incident after I broke the window, I had a slight argument with the CMO and some medbay staff when there were no people to treat and I was almost immediately conscripted by a security officer and made sure to not continue the issue or even talk to the people involved anymore during the round. My last interaction with Raspberry was quite positive, since after a small back and forth they did my request and we had no interactions since. I never went out of my way to look for players of specific races, other than when I made BBQ ribs and other meat products and personally delivered them to lizard staff so I could accomadate for their restrictive diet. I made sure my actions weren’t harassing, that I did not follow or grudge any player constantly against their wishes and that I never took issues from round to round or gave them different treatment when in positions of power. As security I made sure to follow protocol, and the only time I remember being involved with Cuts as a security officer is when they requested a meeting with an imprisoned lizard that has deserted and attacked other security officers after befriending a nightmare, which I denied due to a high likelyhood of escape or harm inside the prison which happened plentifully that shift. Before I could it explain to them, the HoS orders me to release the lizard their sentence was done, so I immediately released the prisoner lizard. Cuts, I didn’t know you had an issue with this out of character. You responded to me in a very friendly manner in the little interactions we had, so I had no clear indication that you did not wish to be part of it other than what I can remember you calling my character a “bitch” and saying you will get a lawyer to handle the lizard’s case, which was very obviously an IC response to a purely IC situation. All interactions I have had with non-human players that I remember were all IC banter, with the only ones that took issue respnding with their own (Cuts telling me they had a name and talking about their culture, some lizard calling me “white woman” for calling them lizard, some lizard calling me “monkey” for calling them lizard, Discretion constantly teasing but otherwise friendly throughout many rounds) or were friendly and oblivious to it. I am sorry, but I do not consider any of my actions to have been harmful as I do not see any context explained in this forum post and an admin told me there is no way to see the round you gave an ID for. I would like to know what kind of actions you would consider me to not do with your character, or if I should completely cease all interaction with Cuts unless necessary. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but I think giving me a hint in LOOC would have prevented a lot.

I apologize for my lack of action outside of character towards the player behind Kathy, in the moment it seemed as though it was something that would be non-fruitful to bring up, however I do now realize my error in not addressing it, and will correct that in the future. As for the examples given, I actually found our earlier interactions quite tolerable, as it seemed your character was simply ignorant to the culture, though If they were educated would attempt to be respectful. As time progressed however, it seemed that your attitudes had become more hostile towards these people had become more and more our worldly derogatory and hostile, and from what I had gathered in your case with security, it had seemed to be like you had kept prisoners overlong because they were of a certain race.

Now, I would like to point out, I have a very subjective take on these situations, being a lizard that hardly leaves medical unless she is starving, and one who finds interruptions in her place of work one of the most infuriating things (I do understand that’s kind of what the game is about, lol). Regardless, I do not actually wish to have any characters cease contact with eachother as for one, I see this situation as one that can certainly be managed without such an inconvenient option, and two, ceasing all interaction with someone in a ship like this is…quite difficult. So I’d much rather just find a compromise!

Now, I never made this report in the interest of getting anyone “in trouble” per se. I actually thing you, Xenu, replying to it might be one of the best outcomes that could have come from it as I really felt like there was no other way to effectively adress this (and also, when I brought it up with an AHelp, they told me to make a report). To reach a resolution on this, Xenu, if you would like, my discord should be listed in the report itself and I would love to talk to you one on one. Shoot me a message if you’d like to, and if not, I simply ask that it be toned back down to playful ignorance, however I understand that that is simply a request, and you have every ability and privilege to deny.

Finally three things, sorry for the wall of text, sorry for the spelling errors (typing this on phone), and I don’t dislike you as a player for this. I understand playing flawed characters and that the way they act does not mean it reflects the way you as a player think, so please, if I had seemed to think that, I do not. Other than that, have a lovely day.

This has reached what I would call a happy conclusion.
