THE. **. My hatred for M$ has now risen to that of Apple. I'm waiting for MS to get sued, or for a mainstream media to pick this up.

Cmdr Sy Appetite 4 Destruction The Firm.	Posted - 2009.02.25 22:14:00 - [2] Since when does anyone's real-life sexual orientation, religion or politics belong in a game? I get the impression people who advertise such things are doing it to satisfy a personal need.
Xen Gin Universal Mining Inc. Forged Dominion	Posted - 2009.02.25 22:19:00 - [3] Originally by: Cmdr Sy Since when does anyone's real-life sexual orientation, religion or politics belong in a game? When a game allows you to add your profile to it. It's not like she had it in her gamertag.
Jago Kain Amarr Pan Galactic Traders	Posted - 2009.02.25 22:46:00 - [4] So, "Microsoft is unwilling to reconsider this position"? I suspect that they may be repressing their true feelings and are in denial. Quick, someone call Tom Robinson. I'm pretty sure he'd add a new verse to this as he seems wont to do these days. ___________________________________________________ The game will never be over, because we're keeping the meme alive.

I get the impression people who advertise such things are doing it to satisfy a personal need. Yeah, of course they are. Same thing applies for people who post on forums. Most people can't completely disassociate themselves from their avatars, I know I can't. Bits of me spill over. -- <3

Tzar'rim	Posted - 2009.02.25 23:31:00 - [7] You have to remember that all Xbox live members are 13 and/or didn't stand in front of the queue when the brains were handed out. Anyone capable of dealing with those ret@rds for more than 10 seconds must be clinically insane. You HAVE to protect those people from themselves. Self-proclaimed idiot
Cedric Diggory Perfunctory Oleaginous Laocoon Mugwumps	Posted - 2009.02.25 23:33:00 - [8] As an experiment, please add either "Bisexual" or "Rampantly Heterosexual" to your profile and see how long you last. --- Originally by: 7shining7one7 a) there are no conspiracies whatsoever b) those who believe there are are nuts

mercyonman Caldari Cryogenic Consultancy Black Sun Alliance	Posted - 2009.02.26 00:56:00 - [11] well, to start off im not a homophobe i do not FEAR homosexuals nor do i HATE them. they just get on my nerves when: they hit on me they try to make it seem like they are the best things since refrigerators they complain ***** and moan about people who dislike them. also to add she probably wanted attention from people. and on that note this story is biased there is only one side to the story there could have been a driving force behind them going through the effort to get her banned. she probably went through the game screaming IMMA LESBIAN LOOK AT ME. I LIKE WOMEN. you never know and maybe the people just got fed up with it or they have the same reasons as me to get annoyed by it "Boo hoo. Cry some more." - DEV CCP Whisper
mercyonman Caldari Cryogenic Consultancy Black Sun Alliance	Posted - 2009.02.26 01:02:00 - [12] also to add. if they are GAY/LESBIAN they are a failure to the human race. they cannot reproduce thus being utterly and completely useless. if this spreads then the human race would slow down a bit. but hey at least we still have our pants on right?

They can have all the sex they want and never once have to worry about child support payments. Seems like a way better system to me than being straight. Wish I was a lesbian. ISK rules everything around me.

I get the impression people who advertise such things are doing it to satisfy a personal need. This. In all honesty, why do you (in general) feel the need to mention your sexual orientation? Think about this for a moment. What will telling complete strangers your prefrences in bed partners do for you in game? Given how even many hetrosexuals have a problem talking about sex between a man and woman talking about sex between two members of the same sex is asking for trouble. Tell you what, find a ligitimate reason that talking about sex in a video game setting is justified and not self serving. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

I know many gay folks who contribute to sperm banks and such like. So stop acting all politically correct. To steal a quote from someone whom i cannot recall's name; "You were once pushed head first into the world out of someone's vagina, why are you acting so dignified?" ______________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

WhiteSavage Gallente Altruism.	Posted - 2009.02.26 03:40:00 - [26] Since when do you post your sexuality on gamer profiles. Quite frankly it has nothing to do with gaming... attention? origionality? People get banned for talking about sexual things or posting sexual things on their profile all the time. ...and something tells me there are multiple sides to these stories. ...at my school a friend of mine got suspended for wearing a shirt that said "straight pride" on gay pride day... ofc people were wearing gay pride shirts but thats ok... ______________________________ The Tulip is AMAZED

For all your talk of "not a homophobe", you sure have no problem posting offensive (and *ing stupid) stereotypes. And sorry to disappoint you, but you have no right to expect everyone who doesn't agree with your sexual preferences to shut up and stay out of your sight. And I sense a double standard here: nobody ever complains about heterosexual* people talking loudly about their sexual preferences. Or are you perfectly asexual and never hit on a woman who might not be interested in you? Never talk about women you're interested in where anyone else could hear? Somehow I doubt it. Quote: also to add she probably wanted attention from people. and on that note this story is biased there is only one side to the story there could have been a driving force behind them going through the effort to get her banned. she probably went through the game screaming IMMA LESBIAN LOOK AT ME. I LIKE WOMEN. you never know and maybe the people just got fed up with it or they have the same reasons as me to get annoyed by it Funny, but I don't see all these people running around screaming "OMG I LOVE WOMEN!!!!!!", so this must be another bull**** stereotype. In fact, I can't even think of a single incident of someone randomly saying things like that in a game. Not only that, but it doesn't make any sense, why would she would be looking for attention from someone like you, seeing as you know, she's not interested in men? Fortunately there's a simple solution here: If you don't want to read someone's profile, don't read it, just shoot them in-game and be done with it. -----------

Or are you perfectly asexual and never hit on a woman who might not be interested in you? Never talk about women you're interested in where anyone else could hear? Somehow I doubt it. So you have never heard of issues religous groups have when talking about sex between a man or a woman or the fuss parents raise about the subject being taught as a sex ed course? For the sake of experimentation go talk to a priest/religous figure about sex and see how much song and dance they do just when it involves heterosexuality. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

For the sake of experimentation go talk to a priest/religous figure about sex and see how much song and dance they do just when it involves heterosexuality. And what exactly does that have to do with anything? 1) This is about gaming, not religion. Whatever issues religious nutcases might have about sex, most game communities I've seen have no problem discussing heterosexual sex. By the standards of your average game community, simply declaring one's sexual preference in a profile isn't even close to offensive. 2) The quoted post referred to being hit on, not having to explain how sex works. If he's going to get offended if a man hits on him, he'd better be equally offended if he hits on a woman and she's not interested. But you know, something tells me he isn't. -----------

Cry some more." - DEV CCP Whisper
