I guess I just still don't see there being some huge issue here.

I guess there is if you're a massive bitch who can't handle the rigors of everyday life, and the internet in general.

You've obviously missed the point.

Finawin · #**134** 04-15-2010, 07:35 PM

I've missed absolutely nothing. The onset of this wave of bitches is disgusting.

I like to kill and pillage on EQ but these letters on my screen are offensive. That false sense of morality is fucking retarded and pathetic.

Most normal folks don't care to live in a slum full of graffiti, rubbish, and stinking of excrement. Nor do most folks care to put up with the online version of such. In both cases, a small portion of the community creates said problems, and in both cases, the offenders typically deny the harm in their actions.

I have to disagree with your opinion of things, Fin.

Haha, christ. Please take your sad chest-beating displays of dominance elsewhere, Finawin. Like I said, you've clearly missed the point.

Lol let's not try to compare REAL LIFE living arrangements in a dangerous, filthy, shitbucket of a city or section of a city to a videogame.

I suppose I'm just more fit to handle life than most. I'm not going to cry like a fucking child when people say "mean stuff" to me on the internet.

Please take your "sad emo display of being a bitch" elsewhere. Listen to some bad music, cut yourself in a corner while weeping about the mean stuff the kids said about you on the internet.

If you think a discussion forum is itself some sort of game, then that must explain your internet tough guy demeanor here. You're normal enough on IRC.

Since you're doing the aggressive tough guy thing, I'll ask you directly Fin--Why? Do you think it's funny? Witty? Clever? Do you pat yourself on the back for pwning people? I doubt it. You're not an imbecile. So--why?

If I didn't see you in more reasoned states elsewhere, I'd think you were just another twit.

This thread is specifically about racist, sexist and bigoted comments on the forums.

If you are pro racist, bigotry or sexism please feel free to explain to us why.

Dude, how old are you.. really? Emo insults? Wow.

This isn't about not being able handle "mean stuff" on the internet. I think most people know what to expect when they browse the internet in general in its entirety. The deal is, this is more or less a private community, with a defined set of rules on racism/sexism/etc. It reflects poorly on the community as a whole when every asshole with a keyboard spews a bunch of bigotry, joking or not.

Ya, there aren't filters in real life. I wouldn't expect there to be. A forum with rules set up like this isn't real life. It's more akin to a business or w/e. I found this project through the PennyArcade forums, so I will use them as an example. The community is top-notch and every thread doesn't degrade into a flame-war. It ain't hard to do, it takes a bit of sense and maturity, and that's basically it.
