EPTSure you can say 'yeah yeah, he shouldnt have to be rude/homophobic/crass for a discussion on a videogame', but these guys have built up their entire career and profession based on that. He's being interviewed for the entertainment value that Cannibal Corpse brings. They're known for their brutal imagery and their 'f all humanity' attitude.... It'd be like telling an emo kid they cant play with scissors or a hipster that the only real way to make a change in society is by getting a real job instead of drinking soy and peddling their fixies.

I bet not a single of those people raging, think I'm homosexual nor are they trying to insult me by claiming I am one. That's just not what those words means in this context. When people lose to cheese they say it was a gay strategy. That doens't mean they think the strategy likes to suck cock >_< Besides we've already had this discussion plenty of times and it's never brought anything good with it. Just go back and read all the comments about Destiny swearing or casters using the term 'rape'. This is basicly the same thing. If you don't like a word then don't say it. Just don't have a cow when someone else does. No one cares. | ||

I was reading on gay gamer.net or what ever it is on the comments and absolutely everyone was saying they closed their accounts and are expecting a public explanation from Blizzard etc. Not saying all gay people are feminists but this seems like a minority group looking for attention. | ||

Look, I get that most Blizzard employees are hardcore horde fans. And I get I have to live with the constant favoritism by the developers and the over the top 'For The Horde' cries everywhere you look at Blizzcon. But when Samwise brought out that piece of filth from Cannibal Corpse and he was constantly like 'F' the Alliance throughout the video package and onstage, I found that offensive and rude. I get you want the factionalism, but lets face it, you have been going way to far with the favoritism we pay your salaries as well as the horde players do) and the racor and vile especially on the horde side is growing too much. We pay you money so the alliance should be equally popular as the horde. Someone said fuck a virtual faction on stage and this is offensive! Some people really have to grow up. Getting upset because someone hates a fictional character? If somebody on a stage says fuck Dumbledore would you write an open letter? No... FOR THE HORDE | ||

I also agree that it's obviously not in Blizzard's best interests to play something like this. People are calling it « first world problems », but promoting something negative in this way only makes it more interesting. See Gang culture. The swearing doesn't bother me, and I get the idea (this probably appeals to a lot of gamers). That said, I don't think people (especially the university profs the OP talked about) should be judging the entire gaming community based on one interview. Rather, it's the choice of one of the biggest gaming companies in the world, Blizzard, to promote the video, that might merit such a decision. | ||

I cant stand political correctness and overly sympathetic stuff like this. Pussy ass whiners. Grow some balls. Actually have met him after a gig before, he is a vulgar person but not an offensive person. There's a difference. Though I paid more attention to Alex Webster being a bass player myself. | ||

You shouldn't generalize like that. Sure, some gay people are sore, stinking vaginas that are so insecure they have to rally in the streets and write novels every time someone uses a word that they consider "offensive." But it isn't a "gay" thing. They don't have a monopoly on smelly vaginry. Millions of people, coming from all colours and creeds, genders and sexual orientations, act like sore, stinking vaginas. Hate them instead. | ||

[The fact that anyone would take this man's comments on a faction in an MMORPG seriously just shows how people WANT to be victimized. | ||
