Racism and homophobia in gaming: Hate speech corrodes online video game experiences

[Lucavi]

Lucavi, do you browse spam? I am curious because that would mean you have been infected by spam.

I do browse spam - typically once a day. Doesn't mean I'll be nigger/jewing it up, but I certainly wouldn't discourage it either. You don't walk into another man's house ordering them around, ya know?

who's house is the internet?

Skipping pages 2-4:

Play smart. Play PC games with dedicated servers and admin abilities. Outline the expected rules and behaviors in the MOTD. Chances are you'll build a close-knit group of people who are mature and just want to have fun. (Or are fairly mature and competitive, but aren't childish.)

Problem solved.

What if I want you to talk dirty to me?

Well..............

[Lucavi]

I'm not ordering you to stop anything - I'm stating that shouting jewnigger just because you got stomped in a game is annoying as fuck, that's all.

But they are jewniggers...

This was one of those topics where simply lurking in it would get me trolled if I didn't know any better.

[Lordender]

This has been going on ever since late 90's when online games were starting to pop up. This is nothing new lol @ just finding this out.

Man, this is the problem with crackers. They're all racist!

Hypocrisy intentional.

Man fuck you man, lol. Porch monkey is one thing (although I'm more of an office chair monkey), but I ain't no jewnigger.

Adults who talk like this should be ashamed of themselves. Grow up people.

[Antithesis]

You are if you are a Jew and Black.

Just a bit too accurate.

What does growing up have to do with saying stuff like faggot or nigger?

IMs/phone/RL :D

Generally I play games to be competitive, so I don't really think about other things during, playful shittalking, sure, but other than that I play to play. People talking about other things/sex/literal RL insults tend to irritate me anyway. (s'what Vent is for. And by that extension, you'll be with friends who kinda or do know you, so such slurs won't be spouted off often (or in honest love.))

So many L4D memories, gawd.

You don't see how spouting random shit when you're losing is childish? Really?

[Psilocybin]

Game companies should be forced to have some kinda 18+ service then if kids get on and act like mongoloids it's on their parents. Make them make a PG service, people can decide for themselves what content they want to be exposed to.
People always complaining about the wrong shit and going with "we have to step in and censor everyone"

[Ramor]

I know I don't, when you put effort into something and it doesn't pay off as you'd expect of course you're going to be pissed to some extent, even more if some stupid little jackass beat you, yelling out curse-words is probably easier than throwing/smashing your controller or doing something else (or at least cheaper from personal experience)
