Trust me guys, I didn't come up with this.
I got this from a website recounting pen-n-paper RPG stories.
Unfortunately, no names were attributed.

For Someone Who Works In A Dungeon
For Someone Who Works In A Dungeon
I’m a huge tabletop RPG gamer; I play D&D and everything like it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of folks around that like to play; fortunately, I DO have a lot of online communities I’m part of. I end up joining a friend-of-a-friend’s campaign, and we’re discussing character creation in PMs.
Me: Since nobody made a party face yet, I’m going to make a Tiefling warlock.
Dungeon Master: No.
Me: What do you mean, ‘no’?
Dungeon Master: I don’t allow evil characters in my campaigns.
Me: Good thing he’s not evil.
Dungeon Master: He’s a devil, who gets his powers from devils; of course, he’s evil. You’re not allowed to play a ‘good’ character that still does evil nonsense all the time.
Me: Can I at least explain the character to you?
Dungeon Master: I don’t want to hear about your edge-lord nonsense. You’re just going to try to justify your trash.
Me: He’s a serene, downright zen individual, who actually has a very soft laugh and a warm smile. He takes after his father, a human male, who was seduced by his Tiefling mother. Bounded by a pact at birth, he has no choice but to have these powers. He later swore a solemn oath to several good gods to never strike harm against an innocent or take a life of one who could be spared. He ended up touched by the Undying Light, replacing what would have been a fiend-pact, allowing him to bring healing and peace rather than fire and death.
Dungeon Master: Okay, that’s actually all right, but he’s going to be under intense scrutiny all the time.
Me: No, he’s not. I mean, I would have expected that, but I refuse to play with someone who in the first few sentences has already dubbed someone ‘trash.’
And with that, the Dungeon Master blocked me. I left well enough alone, just told my friend who introduced me that “it didn’t work out.” I heard about a month later that the DM kicked everyone out of the game and blocked everyone; I think I dodged a bullet there.
