Yeah, absolutely destroy my characters. I love the writing and the play that comes from difficult situations, poor outcomes, and otherwise “bad things” that affect a PC. Especially when it creates further story and RP opportunities in the aftermath. Of course there are limits, but these are also situations and lines that are already a hard ‘no’ in any game I’m going to play - and, as has also been mentioned a few times in this thread - trust is an important factor.

I’m generally very much of the opinion that failure is more thematically interesting than success. I love a failed roll, I love a failed mission, I love the drama. That has been where I’ve found my best success as a player and learned the most about the character.

This is part of the larger issue here. There was a pervasive culture of behavior like that on the game. That “rp quirk” was symptom of sex pestery and unwanted, continued harassment that cujo let go on far too long because that was the culture of the game and he couldn’t be bothered. This player was a continued issue for the unwanted “powder blues” - among other behaviors - but had they been popular or one of cujos golden children they’d probably still be on that game. If the poster and the player are the same person then it’s rich that they would come in here to air grievances when they themselves ARE a grievance.
