I recently got banned from a dating subreddit and discord for people over 30 and all the admins will say is that I made some people uncomfortable. I've been trying to figure out what I did that could have upset people and the one 2 things I can think of was one incident when somebody mentioned I should try dating another male member of the discord server since we had so much in comment and I jokingly explained that I could never date another man because I don't like the sight of my own genitals so I doubt I would want to see or touch another man's. That seemed to spark some controversy with some members because I brought up genitalia. I get that I probably could have said it in a classier way, but in a server for people over 30 looking to date, I would assume this wouldn't exactly be taboo or warrant a ban.

That's fair, but at the same time I did also mention that I wasn't interested in men and the response I received was along the lines of " how do you know you wont like it unless you try" type of deal. I feel lile most people understood it was a joke, but when somebody chimed in that the mention of genitalia made them uncomfortable it seemed like more people jumped on the bandwagon that it was inappropriate. I guess I'm just confused that it was kind of acceptable that people thought it was okay for others to suggest I try a homosexual relationship, which on a dating server for people over 30 you would assume would lead to sex right, but for me to jist mention genitals was considered to be over the top.
