"Ask(ed) me about jerking off to my own sister, mismanaging wars, shitposting, sounding like a huge ******* nerd on teamspeak, having a dead dad, being universally hated by everyone and being a huge, massive, gargantuan ****** that surpasses any other kind of ****** you've met anywhere ever."

There's a problem on the internet these days, of taking every use of ostensibly bigoted language and claiming it's racism or homophobia (or sexism, for that matter).

In point of fact, almost none of this "casual racism/sexism/homophobia" is anything of the sort. It's simply people throwing around these terms because they can get away with it on the internet, and as a form of rebellion against political correctness.

While somewhat immature, pointing out someone using bigoted language these days is almost never a sign of actual bigotry. It's rather a sign that they're trolling everyone else.

You are saying people are smart enough to use those words to rebel against society, but they are too dumb to realize that using those words in a derogative manner, even when in a different context, is still racist, homophobe or sexist?

By the way, I don't really like the term 'homophobia'. It doesn't really describe the issue at hand. Maybe we can just call those homophobes (and sexists and racists) assholes, like in the good old days, where it wasn't necessary to define what kind of ******* someone was.

Ok, maybe by suggesting this, I am now guilty of assholephobia...

stupid garbage

Did someone get scammed by Goonswarm?

:tears:

News flash:

Racism isnt illegal.

Homophobia isnt illegal.


I swear to god if this bulllshit political correct garbage winds its way into the damn games I play, ill shite a chicken, and then hang myself in the shower, with guitar strings.

LOL Racism is illegal in some countries and in most workplaces :D

LGBTQ .

Just because an entity uses a homosexual reference to define something as having a negative connotation it doesn't mean they are homophobic it just means that they have a very limited vocabulary and have wrongly used a noun.

Goonswarm and the greater CFC are one of the most caring and accepting groups I have ever been a proud member of. I personally know and have helped and counselled other members of our coalition who are dealing with their sexuality and it's offensive for you to make these completely untrue allegations.

While I don't condone the use of Gay, ******, ***, Poofter, Lezbo or Carpet Muncher as a negative connotation you are trying to link two very separate things. It is unfortunate that most of us grew up learning these things and carrying them onto adulthood.

So how about you try being an adult, stop being a **** and stop lighting fires because you got shat on for being a tool.

~Let a thousand flowers bloom~

Are you the guy who got purged yesterday?

Q?

Q, as in "*****". Not exactly sure WHAT it stands for, but it's there.

I've been informed by my Social Justice friends that the current acronym is "LGBTQQIAAPO" That's "Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender ***** Questioning Intersex Asexual Antisexual Pansexual Omnisexual".


Yes, I think it's silly too, and there's been discussion about how the needless appropriation of "-sexual"s is diluting and destroying the actual meaning behind the term. It's just, when you get into social justice politics anymore, it's less about social justice, and more about finding new and inventive ways to be superior to another person. "More tolerant than thou" is a thin

Gotcha.

Death by acronyms




Lol what?

Asexual meaning non-sexual reproduction? -- Not sure thats possible lol

Antisexual meaning they dont want sex at all? They need a group to belong to?

Pan/Omni sexual... does that mean you have sex with any/everything? (Looking at that once scene from "American Pie", I guess.)

Im so confused.

Also...

Thread derailment successful.

Let us discuss the origin point of Goonswarm.
Goonswarm players originated from a hellhole called the Something Awful forums, a beautiful place of trolls, dicks, cyber hobgoblins and so on. Somewhere in 2006 they migrated to EVE Online with only one purpose: wreck the game.
Goonswarm quickly started gaining support and, eventually, became Goonswarm Federation. By the time of 2009, Band Of Brothers (BoB), the most powerful alliance at the time, perceived the Federation as a threat, thus beginning the Great Wars.
There were two Wars in total. During the first one, BoB and GSF both fought ferociously to kill each other, but the First War ended in a bloody stalemate.
By the time of the Second War, GSF had gained the upper hand in the conflict, and more and more corporations broke off to join the Federation, including alliances such as the Northern Coalition. When the end of the Great Wars drew near, the Chairman of BoB himself disbanded the alliance, stating the following: "I like their system better".
After these events, the remnants of the BoB were waging a losing war with the titanic forces of the GSF. They suffered an utter defeat, and Band of Brothers bit the dust.
Nowadays, Goonswarm and other influential alliances have forged themselves into one, fearless organization: Clusterf*ck Coalition (AKA CFC).

So, I have my own reasons to dislike the Goons. They originate from the lowest scum of the Internet, and most of them still act like that. They have a special talent of making you dislike the game.
Example: I was out mining in nullsec when this Goon comes in a Sabre and blows up my ship. "No neutrals on Goonswarm turf", he said. Strange thing was that we were 48 jumps away from the GSF's borders. Second of all, they have absolutely no moral principles and no sense of reason. A friend of mine lost his Rhea to a Goonswarm suicide gank. "Why would they gank you? Your hold was empty", I asked.
I heard about more and more disturbing events about the Goons, and I have come to the conclusion that they are people that you do not want to waste your time talking with.

no you're wrong

and provides no reasons as to why.

This reminds me of something.

All black people are drug dealers.
All jews are rich.
All -10 pilots are bad people.
All priests "love" children.


OP should be banned.

goonswarm has created a bunch of homophobic and racist material that they appear to be completely unapologetic about

So what?

it must be cool to be colossally unaware of how people that aren't white or straight feel about things

it must be cool to be colossally unaware of how people that aren't white or straight feel about things

c'mon only white people ever say things like that

thank you for taking the brave stance of not caring about bigotry. other people may care enough to do or say really nasty things to racial minorities or homosexuals, but your choice to ignore it because it does not directly affect you is really great and worthy of appreciation

I dont think you understand.

There is no reason for me (or anyone) to champion causes I have no stake in. Why would I care if someone said "really nasty things" to ANYONE (minorities, postmen, landscapers, the guy who cleans the gutters on your roof)?

Unless someone is physically hurting you, try taking advice from the old children's rhyme... sticks and stones.... ect.

Oprah/ Dr. Phil content and then:

video game forums aren't really the place to start lecturing people on oppression so... just start off by googling "empathy" and see where that takes you

Again, dont care. Its a game. About blowing up spaceships. As far as I can tell, space ships dont have sexuality, and the only races in the game have no affect on the gameplay.

space game players do have those things but whatever, this was a bad derail in an already bad thread so let's just be done with it

News flash:

Racism isnt illegal.

**** you're right, brb starting a career as a lobbyist/political activist

Do you have any idea how much those guys make?

Talk about bulllshit!!

I mean, we do the same thing on the forums all day (argue about pointless crap) and we dont get paid!! WTF!

All hail the great and powerful Lowtax in all his goony glory

i'm straight and white and i'm gonna oppress the hell out of you gaylords

i'm straight and white and i'm gonna oppress the hell out of you gaylords

has lowtax married that shmorky person yet or are they still engaged

We're actually somewhat apologetic about the state of our wiki articles, not because we're worried about offending people but because their attempts to sound 'edgy' are somewhat juvenile and embarrassing in retrospect. The word retrospect is important, though, because a lot of those were written years ago when the Internet was a very different place and never updated because we're criminally lazy and why bother rewriting the old wiki when we're gonna move everything over to Confluence this year guys for real.

If you want a more culturally modernized version of the GSF wiki, replace all instances of "***" with "sperg" for what should be a fairly authentic experience.

Nope they came here to wreck your game, there's no point in them killing a game that they clearly enjoy.

You were in nullsec, he didn't need an excuse to blow you up, that he claimed you were on goonswarms turf is irrelevant.

Because it might not have been empty is as good an excuse as any, odds are that a JF is carrying something.

Anyways, let's not forget the reason why we're here and try not to derail off the topic.
Summary: Goonswarm is a collection of trolling, homophobic and racist scum this game has ever seen. While the last two listed are not illegal, they are morally wrong and the consequences could be tragic.
Goonswarm is also creating a hostile new-player environment, which has scared off quite a few Trialees. Let us not forget the Burn Jita Burn events where those thrice-damned Goons ganked en masse every ship in Jita, which is in 0.9 SECURITY SPACE. No place is safe from these cut-throat marauders..

Moral of the game: Do NOT trust a Goon, do not interact with a Goon, and do NOT join any CFC / Goonswarm Federation-affiliated corporation if you want the game to remain beautiful.

Well sir, I am sorry that you live in a country where you can be arrested for an idea. I dont personally condone either of those practices, but when you restrict freedom of thought, thats a hell of a bigger problem than a few nasty words.

If you think it's a bigger problem to at least have some restrictions to freedom of speech then full freedom of speech then you're REALLY one ignorant fool.Political freedom of speech aye , complete freedom of speech is just waiting for **** to hit the fan.

The 'muricans in this thread like to bang on about how they have freedom of speech - except they don't.

They aren't free to shout Fire! in a crowded theatre (or they are if they don't mind getting locked up, but the freedom to be locked up isn't what I would call freedom).

They aren't free to phone up the local airport and claim to be from Al Q'aida and issue a bomb warning.

So please stop drivelling on about how you have freedom of speech and us euros live under oppression blah blah.

On topic : the stuff the OP is on about is just teenagers who like to be controversial. I won't condemn them for that as I've said stuff back then that I wouldn't do now.

Because there is no difference between expressing an idea and a direct threat against dozens of lives.

Personal opinion, but censoring speech never seems to work, cuz the hate is still there.

I like my bigots and homophobes and such to be mouthy. Makes identifying them for amusing bouts of shaming that much easier.



Random factoid: Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, was gay. Pretty badly abused by the British government, even after the amazing stuff he did in WW2. It gets the homophobic quite riled up when you mention that basically every modern convenience they depend on to spew hatred came about due to a gay man.
