There is a serious problem with racism and racial slurs on this site. It is not only inherently wrong, but it is outright evil. It should not be acceptable to through the word “fine upstanding member of society” around so freely. Furthermore it should be an outright bannable offense if the word is used in a thread titled due to the active topics board. It goes beyond racism it strikes at a very real problem on this site…
Lemme go on a tangent here for a moment…
I understand that this is a game devoted to a simulated internet user experience. That trolling and general douchebaggery are not only ideals here, but more to the point hey are morals. It is perfectly obvious to me that this game is a haven for trolls, whiny emos, and camwhores. I leave hackers out of it because nobody likes script kiddies. However, this should not be used as a blanket excuse for racism and gay bashing. In truth, those who stand behind that excuse are cowards devoid of any worth or personal value.
Back to the point…
It should not be acceptable, warranted, or even smiled upon that the word “fine upstanding member of society” is used so frequently here. fabulous personz0r loses meaning, fine upstanding member of society doesn’t. For those few African-Americans that play this game and are jaded enough not to care, fine, whatever. However, the pervasive use of this word is a ward to any others that might be valued members of the community.
Nazi’s and Racists are not cool. They are cowards who hide behind anonymity and likely would not utter the word in the presence of a black person, much less use it to the point of nausea.
This is ****ing Pathetic.
I’m gay. I don’t complain when people say ‘fabulous person’ all the time, do I?
