I completely understand if people get offended by these terms, but nothing actually happens when you get offended. You don't suddenly start experiencing mahoosive headaches every time you get offended; you don't become horrifically ill whenever someone uses the word "faggot". People need to grow up and start to accept the society that they're in and the words that are used within that society.

I lot of people in this thread sure have done a good job of figuring out how the world works when they're still so young.

I like how the people who are the quickest to say, "Get over it," are people who've probably never faced discrimination.


Society could never be wrong, could it?

Lol. Half the people in this thread are obviously not concerned about "internet discrimination" as brought up by the OP but are bringing up other very relevant points that the OP brings to light and the other half are people jumping on the bandwagon with things like "butthurt" and "get over it"

If you're going to participate in a serious conversation like an adult, please at least read the post.

Internet Discrimination....Hmmm you want everyone to replace words like gay or nigger with "I don't like how you played", or "you are annoying me"
People use these words, cause they are easy, and often get a rise(or desired response out of people[see trolling]).

Please understand that you choose to go on the internet. YOU choose to play Starcraft. AND you can choose to block people.

The internet is not like real life, if it was. I would slap you through your monitor.

Real Life: I can actually bully you.
Internet: I cannot actually bully you, IF you choose to just block/avoid me.

Also. Thanks for assuming being an "adult" = agreeing with your point of view.

Sigh. Just... no.

If you READ my post you might notice that I asked everyone to READ posts before they jumped on bandwagons saying how the OP was nonsense.[see post]

You will notice if you READ my post, I said nothing actually supporting the OP. I said that other issues were being brought to light in this thread that are important. But instead people like you who don't READ are missing them completely because you are too busy jumping on the bandwagon flashing your dick around saying things like "It's the internet maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, grow some balls maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, don't be such a sissy, maaaaaaaaaaaan".

So essentially, you did exactly what I was asking people not to do, and then tried to call me out on a view that I don't share. Now I don't know if you're trolling or simply struggle with reading.

Also thanks for saying dumb, unfounded things at the end of your posts.

Guys, you have a variety of options online that don't exist in your day to day life in regards to slurs and offensive behavior. Firstly, I hardly think it's "discrimination" online, so much so as more loose use of slurs. Unless you're saying, "I'm black, gl hf" and he responds, "Fuck you nigger", it's not really "discriminatory" because he probably called white, asian, latino people a "nigger" that day, it's just someone using slurs.

And they are...?

You cannot point at a whole thread and assume that people will know what you refer to. Make a direct link to the points raised. OR re-raise them.

Don't expect others to automatically know what you are referring to.

Even if I read every single post in this thread. How am I to know which ones you are referring to?
Do you see the issue here?

It's a derogatory term for black people, that people use as a word to basically put somebody else down. How do you not see the connection here? I'm not saying people are being purposefully malicious when they use derogatory terms online, but I think people have to learn to understand that things like this aren't socially acceptable, so why do we have to put up with it online? There are plenty of words you can use to insult somebody without the implication that you consider being that minority makes you a lesser person.
