Hi everyone! Recently, I had my first RPG horror story at my local gaming club. There's a West Marches campaign going on there right now, and I decided to give it a try. Trigger warning: domestic violence.
I created a paladin who was the youngest son of an influential lord, and his flaw was pride. So, the session begins. Our ship gets shipwrecked, I fail a saving throw, and lose half my HP. Okay, I have Lay on Hands, so it's not critical. And then he appears: Ron (name changed), an alcoholic fighter with a fairy who is his wife/sex slave who truly love him and because of that allows him to treat herself as garbage. Yes, I'm not exaggerating - I haven't heard that many insults toward women in my entire life (I'm 30).
In character, Ron insulted my character. I tried to hit him... and missed. He didn't. I tried to hit him again, he struck back, and we both missed. I realized I didn't want to risk my character's health, especially with dice like these, so we moved on. Our characters have banter later but we acted like a team. The rest of the session was fairly fun, but after the game, the next day, I had a panic attack. The topic of violence against women is very triggering for me. I go to play TTRPGs to escape from the horrors of the real world, not to relive them. I think my gaming experience would be even worse if I played female character (I am woman IRL).
I told the GM about this and added that I wouldn't be able to play with Ron. He was understanding and offered to just invite me to games where that character wasn't present. I agreed, but I'm still afraid that this player will be with me in other games. The problem is that Ron's player is genuinely charismatic and a generally normal person IRL, but all his characters are edgelords beyond the pale (if it's important he is married IRL so there is no "incel fantasy" excuse).
I want to know: am I being too sensitive? Or was I right to refuse to play with that character in the same group?
