Originally by: Terminal Insanity If you petition him, im sure the GM's will punish him for it.
However, seriously, who the hell cares. I mean, he's only making himself appear to be ignorant. Its just a word. You know that old saying 'sticks and stones...' well, seriously.... you arnt 5 years old, you should be capable of ignoring people who offend you.
If we ban every offensive phrase, word or action, we will end up in 1984. Racisim is stupid, but so is trying to punish people who are racist. let them be ignorant, dont sink to their level and try to fight them over it.
Adolf ******'s sentiments exactly, just before he tossed some "non-'Aryans' (the fool wasn't even Aryan)" into the "Gasser."
BTW, did you know that rascist language is prohibited under CCP's forum rules of conduct. Post a rascist word here, and let's see what happens (if words are simply to be ignored). I am sure the Devs. want it to be known by patrons/future patrons that they tolerate rascist speech.
Actually, genius, pre-WW2 Germany had hate speech restrictions and they also had mandatory gun registration. And, yes - you ARE a liberal. An ignorant one, but a liberal just the same.
Wrong again. My culture is African, specifically Songye/Mongo (Seko Silibanda/Nyanga Ya Libanda!)and conservatively so. Your Western social concept does not apply to me.
And the great Adolf was allowed to utter what, in pre-WW2 Germany?
Rascist speech has no place ingame or on the forums. Let's test it out. Reply to me here that I am a...(racial slur of your choice), and let's see how it goes. As a matter of fact, alert the Devs. when you are in some Local chat and that you intend on saying a racial slur, and let's see what happens.

Americans,remember the first amendment is an american law.
CCP doesnt care about american speech laws they are in iceland which has a far stricter hate speech law. Call someone an n word in iceland you are going to jail for up to 2 years.
Also first amendment isnt binding on private institutions like CCP which are free to set whatever speech standards they like but since they are based in iceland they are bound by icelandic law.
Im not holding my breath on the icelandic government doing anything unless some icelandic eve player complained.

The question is really: am I going to get extradited for something I say on an internet spaceship game. The answer: almost certainly not, unless I'm making a irl threat with a lot of specific details. If you live in whatever-the-hell jurisdiction the Eve server is in, maybe you have to worry more. But I doubt it. Gov'ts and police forces tend not to want to put resources into controlling speech in a video game.

Yeah, I'm quoting myself. What what.
An incredibly tiny bit of research later, and I found that most extradition treaties (especially those between the US and European countries) require "double criminality": the notion that to extradite someone, the act must be criminal in both countries. As hate speech is generally protected under the US first amendment, this means that if I (in the US) call you all sorts of racial slurs, and you press charges in the UK (where the servers are based), the US would refuse to extradite me. Or wherever you press charges.
Not that any speech is protected of course; there is a line that can be crossed, and then the US would happily toss me out.
There is actual case law baking this up, see this article for some minor insight: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=193 although I'm sure there are better sources.
So actually, CCP (more accurately, Iceland or the UK) does have to care about the US's 1st amendment: if I'm in the US, it does effect their ability to get me extradited. So, CCP can ban me from the game for using such hate language, but they can't get me imprisoned overseas for it.
Haha, I love the first amendment.

10% of this thread actually paid attention in history class. 5% of this thread actually are able to look past their regional textbook biases and form real arguments based on FACT, as opposed to what their truly RACIST family/friends taught them.
Seriously, you are arguing about the validity of racism on an MMO forum. You lose.

Edited by: Kydin on 30/08/2009 18:34:34 you have to understand that this is the wrong forum
and laws differ depending on where you live, Goonswarm and all the other major alliances were been added to my block list before i started playing 2 years ago
Goonswarm and many other alliances are under the influence that because they are idiots behind and LCD screen, they have the right to insult people
petition it, they will get banned.
It's ironic really, they don't care when racism or sensitive issues come up
but they complain when the price of milk goes up

If you don't agree with them, they flame you and insult you. They have such little ingenuity that when someone writes an interesting post they have to comment on the punctuation
Really does indicate the severe lack of intelligence brought here by the septic underbelly that is Crime and Punishment

Originally by: Zed Jackelope Edited by: Zed Jackelope on 22/08/2009 18:35:46 Why are you so butthurt by someone's supposed prejudicial beliefs?
People like you are why racist comments are used so* much. If it didn't butthurt you so easily, it wouldn't be used.
tl;dr get over it
One cannot say whatever one chooses. There are laws, at least in the U.S., against rascist behavior, of which speech qualifies.
The normal response by me would be to knock the taste out of the rascist's mouth; but, most rascists are cowards anyway. Therefore, a form of legally sanctioned action should be brought forth to address the matter (once confirmed).
Real world rascist beliefs have no place ingame, at least if we players are to remain civil (regarding out-of-game speech used ingame/on the forums). Minmatar and Ammarr "hatred" is fictitious. These "peoples" do not exist, even if having been patterned on actual groups.
Calling me a Minmatar Slave will not gain the same response from me as calling me the "N" word.
And I'll ignore such nonesense when we stop being human. As long as I am allowed to (use a reverse punch to) knock the teeth out of the mouth of the clown saying it, you can tell me I should ignore it.
Allowing this to happen will increase, not DECREASE, its use.

Originally by: Wookie 1 I first and foremost apologise for my spelling and grammer in my original post I forgot to check it at the time.
I personally was not bothered by the Racism it just showed what an utter idiot he is, I was surprisingly enough actually just trying to let people know that this had happened as he could actually hurt someone by persistent use of the N word and a simile about faeces. For those of you who think its ok to be racist you clearly have less intelligence than a mollusc. I myself have moved on from this and reported him to CCP since ultimatly they do not tell anyone about the result of their investigations into racist behavior I thought this would be something of caution (since the word punishment does not really cover it correctly) anyway one last thing The American south's insistence on finding something to be proud of in a racially motivated war is rather baffling to outsiders (I.E me as I am English).
Goons are thick as 2 planks.

Originally by: Jones Bones Ignorance breeds fear. The root of racism tends to be ignorance and fear.
This is a common misconception. Modern racism has its roots in the Enlightenment, within the idea that a just God places souls in the bodies he chooses. A handicapped person or person from a more savage culture bears those burdens as a consequence of Divine Providence. This idea combines with Empiricism to produce modern racism, which is a set of ideas taught and learned, not a random product of ignorance. One can attribute racism to error, but to attribute it to ignorance avoids confronting the ideas behind it.
Slavery on the other hand, is much older and has its roots in mercy. Rather than put a defeated people to death, its women and children were spared, to live useful lives. Like perpetual children or other chattel, slaves are slaves because they aren't really competent to manage themselves. The notion that ALL people want to be free is the product of an undue regard for the idea of Equality, and clearly contrary to many examples of people who seem eager to enslave themselves to debt, drugs, or the myriad other aspects of [life] that can diminish freedom. Your Boss might not oversee your work from a horse, with whip in hand, but that doesn't stop many from being as financially bound and dependent on their employers as securely as slaves physically bound by chains.
Neither freedom nor equality are absolute. Neither possess a permanent place atop a reasonable hierarchy of virtues. Finding something greater than oneself to serve has marked many great lives. |

Edited by: Ibalz on 25/09/2009 11:49:47 The sad thing really is that people still fail to see the problem with it in the first place.
If you have to be racist understand it may be your view but generally it's something most people find abhorrent. Which therefore is something we really aren't intrested in hearing.
