/u/Griffonomics and any other alternative Discord or Reddit accounts are banned from all MNZP affiliated Discord servers and subreddits for the period of one month of inappropriate racial statements, specifically the posting of this campaign video. I will be clear -- intentional or not, this was racist. It was a caricature of Māori identity. The user in question has previously been banned for racism.

Previously, I took the position that so long as there is no attempt to belittle Māori or make Māori identity the butt of the joke, then I do not mind. However, it is clear that this approach was too lenient. If you intend to adopt an identity for this game, then some basic respect for the identity is required. If you would like to identify as Māori in sim as a white person from another country, then I urge you to do some reading about Māori identity, culture and language first. Seems too tough? Then don't.

If you're dancing around in a video singing about how you love to please Māori, while butchering the word "Māori" in a way that makes me think you've never heard it, then forgive me for thinking that you're not attempting to make a good-faith attempt at learning more about another identity, but more just using it as a fun gimmick and a joke.
