What did I just read?
Are you really going to relate an affectionate term for our groundside counterparts to racism, or discrimination?
This is the most ridiculous sentiment I have ever seen posted on these forums. Considering the absolute hell that people are put through because of real discrimination, to belittle that by paralleling it with the term 'dust bunny' for dust players... it's nothing like it. It's like calling a destroyer a "dessie"... is that racist against destroyers? Or calling an Australian an Aussie. Is that racist against Australians?

Nothing like injecting " Racial Controversy" where the term clearly wasn't intended as such. Drama Queen much OP? Error: Working As intended |

I really hope this is a troll. I really do, for your sake, because if you actually believe this "bunny bashing" crap, then you really need help. I'm not trying to offend you, even after this really offensive thing you just wrote, I'm still not trying to offend you. That's why I say I really hope this is a troll.
Because what comes next? "No orbital bombardments because it's racist against Dust Bunn players!" You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Thomas you know that the game is not real right..?
Any reference to a player base is entity used to bind that player base to a common name for game referral. Similar in-game names have been used for many years in all computer game types not just MMO's.
For a word to be raciest it has to refer to a race of people not an action. Geek is not raciest. Dust Bunny is not. -á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á "Find something fun to do and do it" - Darius Johnson : Goonswarm |

I suggest we call them Terrestrial Happy Clones and hope they don't demand CCP ban us. AFK Cloaking? An afk cloaker has never ganked me. In fact a cloaker at his keybourd has never ganked me either.

No, but I find you and your racist undertones problematic. ~ Professional Forum Alt -á~ |

Could you point out to me what 'race' Dust Bunnys are? Do you even know what racism means?
Quote:Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior or superior.
So in the eve universe by using the term 'Dust Bunny' Am I being racist against the Minmatars? Amarrians? Caldari? or Gallente?

1. Troll
2. Of all the things to be concerned about, you pick the term "Dust Bunnies"? Have you even looked at the market where we buy and sell slaves and strippers?
3. It's role play. No one here is taking it seriously. If you take it seriously then you have issues, my friend. Adapt or Die |

Get a rope. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |
