Its (pretty much) a free world. People have different views, they should be allowed free reign to express those views (for the most part). Besides most racism comes from the races that are doing the whining then from those who it is claimed against.

My examples show this to be true...wait...what? No They are just heinously disparaging remarks towards a group of people.

I guess the point is, you can be a racist/bigot in real life, but what place does that vileness have in an a game?

How could you be so insensitive? With the blatant disregard for the feelings of agoraphobics in this game, you want to whine about racism? psh, typical.

I totally agree with the op. My corp mates always make racist jokes about me, because I'm a black jew. They call me a true yosef, only because I linked a pic of mine ages ago.

Sorry, should call you a "Supporter of Biggotry" not actually a bigot, just some one that makes bigotry alright. I can see the difference and why its important. |

No, I don't support bigotry. What I am saying, is that if everyone whined all day about what offends them, or what they don't like, or what they prefer people not to say or do, nothing would ever get done.
You can sit there all day and complain about how you see racist remarks, or encounter racism in your day to day EVE life. Tbh, I don't give a ****. I do too. So does everyone, that is life. Get over it. Move on.
That is my point. Quit worrying about what other people are saying and doing, and just live your life.
SOOoooo, if you haven't really gotten my point yet: Quit crying like a little *****. |

Atleast you completely support the thought that Eve is full of bigots and racism, and no one cares. Which is the point of the entire thread. Eve is quite easily the most racist and bigoted mmo on the market.
I don't think there is a place for that repugnant vituperation any where in the world, let alone in a game that people play for fun. I guess I give credit to fellow capsuleers and think that they deserve the common decency I would afford even the most repulsive human I meet face to face. I guess some people think its fine to **** on any one, any where, as long as there aren't consequences, and I'm not like that.

If some one called you a Lazy ****ing mexican, regardless of what race you are, they are still racist against Mexicans. You just get to dodge the directed insult. Just because they were wrong about your race, doesn't make it any less racist.

I think racists are dirty, inferior, disease-carrying subhumans who should be forcibly sterilised lest they further contaminate the gene pool.
Hey now wait a minute, without racism who would there be to fuel conflict? Without conflict would we have as many technological advances? You thank your local racist for the necessary flames provided to further mankind. |

This is the point that most anonymous internet users miss. They see the insult as an individual and do not regard the larger implication. The racist/bigoted/prejudicial statements are not only targeting one person but entire groups unjustly and more often then not erroneously. This anonymity allows the spewer of the hate speech to utter things that in real world society have consequences.
The hate speech from the real world would never be tolerated in public,non-virtual, circles. Most European and North American countries have laws and/or in lieu of laws consequences to the violation of these social norms and mores(read here shunning, firing from occupation, stigma). Here CCP is solely responsible for the application of their EULA and only chooses to do so when confronted. I personally would enjoy seeing CCP come out very publicly and very vociferously against any sort of real world hate speech. I do believe most other MMORPG providers have done so, especially after an incident or two in WOW a few years ago. Also having a line in a EULA does not exempt CCP from taking a positive leadership position, it only provides convenient excuses for a lack of real action.
Also to those posters that seem to think that this is an issue of everyone being offended over everything, that is a strawman and leads to belittling of the truth of the matter. Having a dispute with an individual is perfectly normal, especially in EVE, using hate speech to not only denigrate the individual you have issue with but also groups that you apparently bear malice towards is unacceptable.
While I am on a protracted rant, the usage of RL stereotypes to describe in game behavior falls under hate speech and bigoted as well. I point no fingers at any one group in Eve as it has been my experience that is everywhere with some very noted exceptions.
CCP should take a much needed public position and then enforce their own EULA within their sphere of influence and control, which is to say all of EVE and its other properties. |

Its not even political correctness that its about..it is about not being a complete douche bag :]
btw: Offical CCP policy is Here
Though as noted above, CCP only enforces such things when backed into a corner...and punishment for such things...well lets be honest, if they were severe we wouldn't be having this discussion as every one would know it wasn't allowed.

Edited by: Discrodia on 18/06/2009 22:13:48 Only thing near racism is where me and my buddy laugh at the guy whose Brutor character looks like him IRL... other than that I haven't seen any racism in about a year and a half of EVE.
Edit: Which is way better than WoW did after about 5 minutes of free trial. ___________________________________________

Racism in a sense is part of most cultures.
I'm english. Therefore I have a slight mistrust for the French and Germams, I don't want to put them in camps or steralise them, its just part of my culture. I'm equally aware that the rest of Britain hates the English. **** it, in their own cynical self-depricating way, even the English hate the English. Thats the only reason Britain has lasted so long, we all **** each other off so much that we would be lost without one another.

I guess the consensus is very clear, Bigotry is rampant in eve, and no one cares not even CCP.
Seems pretty cut and dry.

OP is a politically correct douchebag.
Good thing my past corpmates have been equally as ****ed up in the head as I am or they'd find my racism very offensive.
Seems to me the only people that get offended at racist remarks are white people.
WHITE PEOPLE WHO PRETTY MUCH CREATED EVERY RACIAL SLUR KNOWN TO MAAAAAN. Want it for yourselves, huh? Can't share?!
