Just because someone uses a racial slur does not make them a racist. I have friends of various racial backgrounds that I make racial slurs to them on a regular basis. You guys going off on a discussion about what people say to you when you do nasty things to them to make them angry not only has nothing to do with that but could be considered the exact opposite. IMHO there is a huge difference between prejudice and someone saying the most hurtful thing that they can think of just because they are angry at you specifically for something that you did or just saying hurtful things trying to start a fight. Maybe I'm way off base here but I'm just trying to keep the thread helpful to the OP. Not because he really had any hatred for that other person's mother but strictly because he knew it would start a fight and a fight is what he was looking for. This would be similar to back in grade school when someone wanted to start a fight with another person they'd make fun of that person's mother.

I had hoped this would free up the OP a little to look for an accepting group in this game while ignoring many of the comments / links posted in local when troublemakers roam through swatting at hornet's nests looking to start trouble.
#EVE NG LGBT SKIN#
I had made my comment hoping to point out to the OP that within the context of this game ( much like any highly competitive game / sport ) people with say nasty things that they don't mean in an attempt to get under your skin and get you to loose your cool therefore giving them the upper hand. The OP can speak for his/her self but it seems to me that the OP was looking to talk to people within his/her own group so as not to have to deal with the prejudgments of other's outside that group, not wondering if he will get nasty language from someone he/she intentionally pisses off. Likewise you could never say a bad thing about an LGBT person in your life but if you won't shop at a store that is owned by someone of that community nor higher someone in that group etc.
You could never use a harsh or negative word towards anyone of a particular race in your life but if you won't let your daughter date one of them or actively try and keep that race from living in your neighborhood then you are a racist. Meaning there is nothing that you can do as to change the bigot's mind he dislike "your type" and you could be the nicest person in the world and he/she would still have dislike for you. Racist, Sexist, Homophobic attitudes and actions are when one person has a personal dislike for a group of people and acts on that dislike towards people of that group based purely on that person's being part of that group and having nothing to do with that person's actions. Then a whole bunch of people started talking about nasty things angry people say when someone does something to them. The OP started by asking for some LGBT channels in game. I have rearly seen or heard any outspoken biggiots or racists hereĪnd those i have were largly because they were being ostracized and singled out for further " education" by the community.Įither I am confused or this thread somehow got derailed. I was called a sociopathic bully last night by a war target for shooting him Yeah this is where you get abuse from generally. the players who hunt and gank are offensive in their own way (nothing is off the table to make fun of), but I vastly prefer it over people who say "I HOPE A DOG KILLS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND HAS SEX WITH THE CORPSES" (an insult I received some time ago from a miner I ganked) and actually mean it. In my humble experience, I have seen more non-facetious vitriol and anger coming from so-called "peaceful" / "pacifist" players than from players who actively hunt and gank others. The reason I made that comment is because it is true.īy contrast I've not encountered anything like that despite often being on voice comms with other gankers, not even when someone screws up really badly.
