You're doing exactly the same, Flood, bringing your personal ideals into every post you write.
And yes, it is a right in society, but not because some admins in the sky decided to smite everyone who was even slightly racist/sexist. Any IC action can have an IC consequence, and it's likely that other players will end up punishing those who are racist etc. IC. That's the point of all this: allowing a true roleplay environment where we're not the nannies or holding everyone's hand.
Not being a slave is also a right, true. Yet we don't ban people for taking hostages and forcing them to work. Not being attacked/injured/killed for your money is a right, yet we don't ban for that either. You're attempting to draw your own line based on your personal ideals and then claiming that we're the only ones bringing our ideals into it.
IC means that you play a character. Do you also refuse to read any books in which characters are racist/sexist, or watch films? Because they all comprise characters, much like roleplay does. Racism/sexism has been a part of human history for a long time, sad as it is, and will continue to be so, but that doesn't mean we should censor something that isn't even real; it's 100% make-believe, just like a book or movie.
