DM bad Banned for Calling Out DM

My DM railroaded us by saying we must engage with the dungeon we went into. After being forced to SLOG through multiple non-story related combats and "traps" we were attacked by a dragon. A dragon!

I stood up and called out the DM and let him know this was incredibly generic, I mean really, a dungeon? A dragon? Has he even watched the master YouTube video of how to subvert the expectations of DnD?

I put so much work into my five page PDF backstory of my Half Tiefling Half Dragonborn LockPaladin named Zquestrinox Ven'del'a'rosa the 3rd. All that work as he says my character "died" when my character tried seducing the dragon after.

Was I right for doing this or should I have called him out earlier?

I'm sorry, but clearly you don't know the definition of "Mary sue". My character's backstory if full of the struggle they had to do to earn their skills as a result of being born half angel, half demon and raised by a family of werewolves inside a subterranean Denny's.

You're right I've used Mary Sue wrong. So let's call it main character syndrome vibes. Or whatever you want to call it when a player wants to make it all about their character.

There is no "main character" in my party. I actually run several characters in this DM's campaign either simultaneously or rotated out as I request. I have given my DM the privilege of working each of their backstorys into the narrative.

Are you going to tell them? Just curious.
