the New tyranny of NA :evil:

[partyboy]

I wasn't here when they decided saying the n word was against the rules, but I imagine there were a ton of tears and people swearing the game would lose half it's population and FREE SPEECH

yet it's perfectly ok for black people to call each other niggas but when anyone else does it....O LAWDY LAWD

Its a competitive game.  Like playing soccer.   You call people bitches, bundle of stickss, stuff like that on actual sports fields all the time because of adrenaline, as a fan or player.

FIFA against discrimination

FIFA recognises its responsibility to lead the way in abolishing all forms of discrimination in football. Article 3 of the FIFA Statutes states:

“Discrimination of any kind against a country, private person or group of people on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any other reason is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion.”

[Havelle]

Well, I wouldn't call anyone the N word because white guilt. The homosexuals, however, were not enslaved, and we aren't even insulting them. I don't think most people think you are referring to a homosexual when you say "that bundle of sticks"

You yourself are giving all the power to the slur in this case. Do you really think homosexuals are bundle of stickss you bigot?

[Smoothrich]

Why bother even banning racial slurs, then?  I say let's let this game be free for all if you're only going to barely part way.

This is why American Politics never works at all.  The small minority that no one actually elected into office tends to be ideologues hellbent on oppressing the majority with their intolerable, unpopular, and often wrong opinions and beliefs, instead of practical solutions and compromise for a functioning, democratic society and state.  Funny how in America that is the hardcore right wing Republicans, and in this thread/way of thinking it is the hardcore right wing Chat N@zis who often sound a lot more ignorant then the people they argue with. 

Funny is because I am a die-hard liberal activist for equality, but I'd gladly pass a cRPG ammendment to ban Shik, Badplayer, Partyboy, etc from ever posting about racism/intolerance + outlawing any future Obsecenity Laws in chat that will obviously be abused by admins to ban people they don't like on bullshit evidence while sounding legit (Gestapo tactics.)

FIFA is a bunch of fairies all their games have been rigged for years.

I was only banning for a specific slur, much like the rules against racism are only for one specific slur.

Here is a rambling, most likely incoherent rant. It'll probably come off as an attack, but I don't mean it that way.

You guys aren't some freedom fighting revolutionaries making the world a better place for minorities, you're a group of nerds who don't want people to be called names on the internet by strangers. Toughen up. There isn't some big epidemic of people being completely awful to eachother on this mod, and if someone wants to vent their frustrations by calling someone else a bundle of sticks, its not a slur against homosexuals, its questioning the sexuality of another to verbalize their frustrations with said person.

I don't feel offended at all when someone calls me a bundle of sticks on this game. I got a lot worse shit in high school, where my best friend was a homosexual. The new wave of political correctness is paving the way for a very very dull, close minded world. Perhaps in a few years, we could just keep our kids inside and home school them, protect them from the big bad world and anyone who might disagree with their world view.

I really hate to advocate hate speech, but I'd really hate for it to disappear.

+1'd so hard, i need a new pair of pants

Even if this PC crap doesn't really reach all the way to my corner of the world yet, it's still worrying and irritating as fuck :/

Honestly who's idea was it to change the admin team to Morality Police and make the c in cRPG stand for Christian Gaming?

Its a shit idea.  If the devs have legitimate concerns about the "accessiblity" of their game then they can make a word filter.  One that would probably have to cover half the turkish, russian, italian, etc languages to actually stop the inter-national trolling that cracks me up.  And hasn't been addressed by anyone in this thread.  Because of a white guilt/homophobia fixation in conversation?  Ignoring all forms of insulting or rage that aren't presented here but appear to be bannable offenses from a videogame, in order to Follow the Narrative here of out of touch american white racists getting it wrong.

Its a competitive game.  Like playing soccer.   You call people bitches, bundle of stickss, stuff like that on actual sports fields all the time because of adrenaline, as a fan or player.  BADPLAYER who sounds like the number one ignorant ideologue here, like 12 year old "amateur sociologist' who read a few reddit posts about Why Racism Exists.  I've seen him go off on people being bundle of stickss or friends in literally every Dota game he's ever played.  Usually while griefing the team and being bad.  WAY worse then any cRPG stuff people do in that game.  Yet somehow Dota/HoN/LoL is still insanely popular, and the worst people are usually punished on a select basis after player reports.

If admins start casually banning players for dropping "bundle of sticks" in a video game chat though, you will literally be losing 50-100 times more players within a month then you'd ever gain.  That is when christian gaming servers pop up when a mod is already super unpopular and small, and either you get a few insane roleplaying spergs left to run and manage the one server with people trying to grin teeth and bear with it, or much more typically the game is uninstalled.

Basically who gives a shit lol etc, but the community is small and the game unpopular because it has no advertising and its not that good, and having admins of Tears of Destiny level involvement in the game absolutely kills a community faster then anything and is just a bad way to run a gaming community.  Bad for players, bad for business, bad for common sense, and its even bad for the Advancement of Social Acceptance of Progressive Values, if that's the argument.

What, you had a 180 degree turn in life or something? Where's the "crpg is literally crawling with chocolate chip cookies and homophobes" speech? O_o

Didn't you just say all in or none at all?

Haha.  I always said stuff like this in the private admin forum, whenever the topic would come up.  Veering too far into one direction would turn the small, already unpopular cRPG into a "Christian Gaming Server" and completely kill the community.  I'd also vigorously try to get people banned for "trolling" unbanned.  I think most of that shit is stupid, the players and the admins reactions (unless one of them is funny about it) and I think the majority of players here feel the same way, pretty laid back about stuff, can be funny sometimes just in moderation.

I think plenty of people have bad opinions in this community, but the way to deal with that is engage them in public so they have to defend themselves, to serve up proper ridicule and laughs for everyone, and occassional have real conversations about the issues (while punishing the special cases in fair ways, mutes not bans usually, looking at an in game filter).  Conversations are fine, fun, and nice intellectual exercises.  Running an already half-dead game into the ground with a juvenile LOL LETS STOP HATE mentality is just Bad ADminship.

I am nominating you for best player_na smooth

Smooth you remind me of the people on SA who post rage filled goodbye threads because they can't make rape jokes in GBS anymore.

When people use the word "nerd" I feel slightly uneasy. I have an IQ of 148 and have been two years in advance academically for more than ten years now. I have never been able to establish more than a handful of stable friendships until I entered college, jailed by walls made of awkwardness from the outside and fear from the inside. I have been mocked more than I ever could handle at the time and I still sort of fear any interaction with immature people, cause you know they might start hating me for reasons unknown.

So there you go. Please ban "nerd". This word is very offensive. Also ban "genius", that one was often not used in a positive way at all. Also ban all their equivalents in French.

(this is an example but everything is actually true)

Everyone who has taken time out of their lives to post a response any more length than this one needs to go get a job and some hobbies.
