Under the community standards players can't abuse other players. Goreans banning players from the sims for having a Nonhuman appearance violation of the community standards?
I have been banned once in a Gorean sim because I was wearing a furry avatar.

Hi Madison: as you may know, an Estate Owner and Manager(s) may choose to have who they want on their own land. This isn't intolerance, but personal discretion.

There are role-playing sims like Gorean ones, where the owners have chosen a theme, to keep with immersion, as well as local culture and conduct as it's desired by them.

Someone doesn't have to state the reasons why they banned you — as hurtful as it may be, it's their own land, and they have the right to do this. Landowners aren't obligated to give a reason for banning.

Intolerance generally refers to "real-world" traits, and specifically applies if they were to, for example, hurl racial slurs at you, and if they otherwise made threats, that would be Harassment.

Hope this helps. :) (I'm furry myself.)
