Not saying that it isn't. I've been around just as long as you have dude. Actually I've been a pro gamer for a while now whether it be online or offline. I've seen these things happen, and I've seen that nothing happens because it wasn't taken out of context. The only thing that has not been messed with is religious beliefs. That's all.
So under your under your premise that players take on a character do I assume that those who use bigoted commentary have taken on the characters of ignorant halfwits, or white supremacists, or homophobic morons. Well once again I have to disagree, the comments made by players are not characterizations of some alter ego, they are the shameful displays of either ignorance or hate.
assume when broken down = you are making an ass out of u and me

You are making an assumption that may be true or not. We can't read people's minds, but I know better not to judge whether or not its really pure hate. It's just not right.

ok I really don't care how many time you can say
"its only a game"
"some people take things too seriously"
and other things of that nature

I'm going to refer back to a post I made about ethical language use on the forums

This server is a place for people to have fun, all people, by people I'm talking about humans that are still breathing, this kind of talk may be accepted in circles of friends, or in some communities, but it shouldn't be accepted here.

This is a place where people from all over can share the joy and competitive nature of blasting away at fictional monsters and beating out the next persons score or just plain surviving.

racist, bigoted, and other unethical language should not be tolerated.
there are many other ways to show disgust in the english(and every other language) so use them instead of the trash you try to pass sometimes

end rant

those are my opinions
I don't get offended easily, others do
respect people

My final 2 cents

Post by SirBeast » Mon Apr 30, 2007 1:00 pm

I can't speak for anyone else but myself here. I use so-called "hate" speech on this server. I'll call Hicky a chilk molesting honkey. I'll call Tmoney a fag. I'll call Bowls (and just about anyone else) "My censored" or "My B*tch". I'll even call Painttt a sh*t*ass manwhore. Do I say these things in anger? Sometimes, especially if they snag a powerup I had my eyes on and was heading towards. Do I say them out of hatred? No. Because I'll turn around 2 minutes later and give them a powerup they need that I have. If it offends you, oh well. I don't care. I'm offensive, I know it, everyone else knows it, and I'm not gonna change to make you happy.

Simply put, re-read my sig/tagline:
"I will consistently sacrifice political correctness for an attempt at humor. If ya can't deal, then ya need ta stop being ign'ant."

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

All i am saying is that you should respect players on the server
I know joking happens, its just that if someone asks you to stop, at the very least tone it down a bit untill they leave
I just don't want to have people running away from the server because people can't just drop the subject and move on with life

This is how im viewing it. This server is for EVERYONE. Now if one player is saying something that offends another player why should the offended player have to leave? He has as much right to stay and play as anyone else. Now my point is if the offender is making the environment not possible for everyone to have fun then that needs to be corrected so there is fun for all.

What about the person complaining about the offender? Aren't they in turn making it less fun for the offender by limiting their behavior? Let's be fair here Painttt...

Drae is right in the general sense. Yeah I will admit it works the same in the mexican cutlture as far as calling someone a dirty mexican or wetback. or whatever. When I'm on online people can call me that whatever they want, whatever color you are and I don't take offense to it. I will admit though if your a stranger and either white, black and use it to profile the mexican people I do take offense. I think it goes for the N word also. My only problem is when Indians, Mexicans, Blacks think that since in the 1800 they were wrong doing that I owe something to them. First I wasn't around and neither were they. I don't owe them anything and if you thing you do (Sorry about your stupidity, get over it!) To many cultures can't let things go and I'm sorry but Black people and Indians and Now Illegal Mexicans want rights now. If you look at it in a politcal essance its 100% wrong for a college to offer a scholarship to only a white person but they have a Offer a Black only scholarship fund. For Indians they are given money from our Government per child and also expemption from taxes. For Meixcans they are giving government assist for something that a Legal natural born Citizen who works there butt of to feed their family but can't qualify because they make to much at minimum wage (hard working mexicans, blacks, white, indians and others) I know a lot of people think white people have it easy. Its not easy in any culture they have there pluses and minuses but people need to let words go and in a sense stop generalizing and until then its never going to change the attitude of a group. I'm sorry to say this but the NAACP is the most Raciast group in world. They do some good things but they can't let the past go and try to make the future better without a huge uproar or politcal battle. Thats my input and some will agree and disagree. Thats cool its my opinion and you do have yours to voice.
Later all!

Because it's funny. If you want to take it as an offense then be my guest. I know how to take a joke instead of catching feelings on something thats not serious.
