Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem? There should be wounds and scars that cannot be healed no matter what.
You can literally resurrect people in D&D.
Which is a high level spell if you want it to regenerate lost limbs.
The average peasant does not have access to this.
Yeah, but do they come back alive crippled?
Why would anyone want to be crippled? I’m all for accepting things as they are, but I’ve never met anyone who would rather have less ability as opposed to more. I’m hard of hearing, and I’d do an awful lot to get my normal hearing back.
Because some people just want to. It’s the same thing as choosing your character’s nationality, sexuality, race, face features etc. Let people play what they want.
I never implied that people shouldn’t play what they want and even said in my first post that I don’t see why someone would have issues with it. In my last response I thought you were talking about real life, since the conversation has been going back and forth between games and real life. Do whatever the fuck you want with your character. Why would I care?

Way too harsh there.
Your earlier comment was not “what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?” If it was meant to mean that, I don’t understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player’s, or the character’s?
The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.
I meant that if a player wants to be crippled and someone heals their character out of it, then the player might not be encouraged to continue playing with that character. Also there’s a second bottom where it might disrupt their interactions with other characters or in the worst case completely erase their persona.

It’s not just about being crippled. The spell „Resurrection“ closes all mortal wounds and restores missing body parts. It will also uncircumcise the Jewish priest, removing all his powers.
omg, imagine a scenario where someone is trying to get people to kill him and resurrect him b/c some accident blew his bits to bits and he’s willing to be killed to get them back
