Discrimination against Lions

Discrimination against Lions is a phenomenon in Rowizard wherein players from the House of Lions tend to be treated exceptionally poorly in comparison to the other Houses. Lions may be attacked on sight by other players, refused help, told lies, asked to leave the server, or made fun of by players from other Houses. They may be encouraged to change their House, or hunted down for refusing to do so.
== Origin ==
It is unknown exactly how, when or why anti-Lion discrimination became widespread. It likely originated as a joke that became popularized and spread amongst the player base, however, some players have shown no indications that they are joking, casting doubt on this interpretation.
== Endorsement ==
Anti-Lion discrimination has become widespread. On March 4th, 2024, head developer and owner of the game ICENODE stated that "lions will be removed in the next update." Furthermore, a post by sophitz_kotlc on September 11th, 2023 entitled permaban all lions and delete their "house" from the game has received 90 green checks as of August 6th, 2024, which is only slightly less than the average total player count for Rowizard on any given day. 
== Discrimination against other Houses ==
Some Lions have responded to this phenomenon by trying to target other Houses. However, a mass movement of discrimination against any other House has never taken off. 
== Playing as a Lion ==
If you want to play as a Lion, you may be treated worse by other players or encounter discrimination. The proper advice for responding to bullying in any game is to report the player and then switch servers.
