However, I think people attacking the basic idea of it is kinda ridiculous. Why shouldn't someone be called out for their immoral behavior? Why can't I share that event with other people, is playing SC2 a private relationship like a man and his priest/attorney/wife? Of course not. And seriously, blaming the victim for being too sensitive? That's on its face ridiculous. Someone's life might be easier if they are not sensitive, but it isn't wrong morally for them to be sensitive. An extreme analogy is blaming a rape victim because of her clothing. | ||

The horse is dead. Most civilized people are way above and beyond the mindset that people were in back then, so if you want to just sit there and keep reminding people that slavery happened and there are some close minded idiots still left in the world (weird..) then maybe you should just stop posting. We get it. All that is easy for you to say. Are you Black? I'm sure you're not, because you wouldn't be saying all that with a tenth of the ease that you just did. To state that the OP is taking the situation just a little overboard is one thing(which is fair). To outright state that racism is not an issue(using controversial examples), is completely different and not appropriate. Let's not be children here and pretend that words don't hurt people. They absolutely do. There are people in this world who are more sensitive than others. Is that their fault? I'd say no, it is not. The only thing that's left to not fight fire with fire(which makes the problem worse) but rather simply use what tools we have available to us to minimize it. | ||

Don't get offended because some faceless name on your screen uses a word you disagree with, just ignore them (like use the in-game option so you cant see what they type) and report them to blizzard, or use the Fing language filter (it's there to protect your fragile growing mind). There's no reason to start a "black list" just don't stoop to that level yourself in the first place. On March 31 2012 02:28 Shinespark wrote: Why is the "black list" the bad list? Lol, this Wins the thread imo. | ||

Since the game came out I don't think I've ever had any racist comments used against me. Just the typical rage and "fag" and so on. I've met so many more nice people who I wind up chatting with about our game and eventually friending. Maybe because I play late after all the little kids are in bed... | ||

If someone call me a faggot on the internet, it's not because they actually think I am gay and want to hurt me, it's just a thing you say carelessly. So whatever "black list" you or anyone else has got I will not stand behind, this is the internet. If they all knew who you were beforehand it would be another thing, but they don't. The way you say it makes it sound like every other game is like this, which makes me think you are a cheesy player... | ||
