So CCP stands against "cyber bullying" but endorses and supports racism. To the gaming media

Oh dear, shall I also start petitioning the term "jew" when describing people making money ?

Pretty sure that covers a lot of the CFC.

It's a slippery slope - especially when it's bathed in your blood.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

EvE Online is a cut throat gaming environment with evil individuals who will sell your mother to pilot their Tech3. You are getting offended over a derogatory word? Sure, it's widely inappropriate in Real Life, but with many games... There is a pvp solution.

If you don't like getting called names, teach them a lesson. Petitioning to get someone banned is not a legit strategy. It actually goes to show how weak you are.

If your skin isn't thick enough to shrug off such derogatory language, perhaps gaming in general is not for you. You will see this language everywhere. How you react to it is up to you.

Just hunt him down and pod him. Let him swear up and down because of that.

That's the beauty of EvE Online. Anything and Everything goes. The Game is player run. So run it.

During a major fleet battle today in Tenal, one of the major editors of EveNews24.com decided to type racist remarks in local chat.

[18:05:30] riverini > DIE NIGGERS1 DIE!!!

The CFC members having been negatively affeccted by these racist remarks did the appropriate thing, and began to file petitions with CCP. However, within moments, a GM informed the CFC members that they should no longer file any petitions, and many petitions filed by members are already closed.

The CFC members were then told "just block him"

Blocking someone is not an action that all members of the CFC should have to take because another eve player decides to post racist remarks in local chat.

CCP really should make this pilot abide by TOS and EULA when playing this game, and if he cannot play the game along those lines, then maybe he should not be allowed to play. Why should we all suffer in this game due to a racist?

This thread is not so much about what he said, but rather the unique response CCP has decided to take when there is no press involved in the incident.

good thing i happened to be inside Hilmar (the solar system) where i heard this in local

[18:05:30] Huma Dragonis > Alright I forged that log and posted it on EVE Gd.
[18:05:55] Huma Dragonis > plz transfer ISK over now\
[18:06:14] Razzor Death > isk sent

"Jew" is a recognised word with a non-abusive meaning. It's not more inherently insulting than calling someone "Christian" or "Bhuddist".

If words like "k*ke" were used, that would be a closer equivalent.

You mean i can't kekekeekeke now?
But that offends zergs.

This thread is not so much about what he said, but rather the unique response CCP has decided to take when there is no press involved in the incident.

I see nothing wrong with CCP's response. Every single game has individuals who say racist things. I mean hell, anyone who has ever played World of Warcraft know exactly what "Barrens Chat" is.

I'm not racist in the least bit but I will never allow a child to offend me by spouting off ignorant things. I just laugh at his lack of education. Simply reading the word, even knowing it was said in a malicious way does not offend me. Even if it were directed at me.

It comes down to a simple comparison. Someone calls you a Butt-face on the playground. At the age of 9, this is extremely offensive. What do you do? Do you run to mommy and tell? Do you sit there, smile and not give a damn? Or do you punch him in the friggn face?

If CCP did something for every single racist comment in EvE Online, we'd have no one to blow up. If you are offended by their chat, put them on block. I support CCP's response in this situation.

Just go back to the timecode bazaar and stop bothering the fine folks in general discussion.

Offensive word, yes, but what if the guy that said it was black? You have to figure out if he/she was black first for it to be considered racist...

I see, so "higher standard" and "in game vs out of game" only applies when it is people you don't like.

Which has been blatantly obvious to everyone with two eyes open this whole time. The Mittani was targeted because he said something stupid and was a goon. No one batted an eye when BoB members wanted to kill, in real life, goons.

Technically he's saying "NIGGERS1"

Indeed, once an apology is given and remorse is shown, there's no reason to pursue things farther. Right? Right?

Yeah this out to be funny watching them swim in hypocrisy.

The best course of action in this situation is to file a complaint via petition for the offensive remarks. If they were actually made and not made up or faked.

Allow CCP to deal with the matter in accordance to their policies. If the individual in question did what is claimed then CCP will settle it.

Yeah this out to be funny watching them swim in hypocrisy.

New words from a CSM Candidate. Tsk Tsk Tsk

oh look. words that only have meaning because humans put symbolism in the letters and words.

the real crime is if you mis spell this "n word", and replace the ER with A its ok

(only said N word cause of fear of ban)

There was an apology posted on twitter in response to this.

To the goons that means its OK over and done with, and they will of course leave him alone now.

There needs to be more to it than a simple apology. He should attempt to recompense the people he insulted; resign from his position at EVE News 24 for a medium term period and be issued with a week long ban. Then you might have a point.

Oh dear, shall I also start petitioning the term "jew" when describing people making money ?

Really ???? Not agreeing with what was typed in local. But have you seen what all of CFC types in local. If you want to play that way all of CFC would be banned.

so an eve celebrity you like breaks the EULA and there's nothing wrong with it

i see

An entire thread full of people who have apparently never been in 0.0.

I am constantly appalled at what I see in local. I can gather enough racist, sexist, threatening, derogatory and just plain disgusting crap in ten minutes to start a dozen threads like this.

If you are offended petition it. If you want to start thread after thread about every incident, we are in for some interesting times here in GD.

Go ahead petition it, and in that petition please explain how referring to an ethnic-religious culture as being wealthy and successful is in any way harmful.

This is ridiculously juvenile on the part of TEST and the CFC, especially given the horrible things we spam in local with every fight.

Not to mention the incredible amounts of pornography we link. So much wonderful pornography. I pretty much can't get it up anymore unless I'm butchering RaidenDOT.

Well they let goons stay in the game, so i think that is a yes, they support racism.

Let the GMs quietly handle this and fade from the forums for the rest of the month. The pubbie filth have the memories of gold fish. By the time they've forgotten about us it will be April 28th.

Why are the major fleets fighting each other and not the despised Goons in one happy family venture?
Just a thought that popped up.

I grew up in Alabama during the mid-fifties to mid-sixties (at which point I began drinking coffee and smoking cigs and stunted my growth). Maybe it's easy to toss that word around, or minimize the significance of it, as though it should be grouped with obscenities. But, when you've been the victim of lynchings, bombings, having police dogs set on you, continual humiliation, degredation and deprivation, it's kinda hard to just shrink the word the opressors used as they did these things to you, "Die...(insert term)."

Unless you group yourselves with the sort of people who DID these things - low bred, redneck, backy chewin', knuckle-draggin' goons, burning churches, beating 14-year olds to death...you shouldn't be so fast to accept this particular word as just another cuss word and leave it at that. There's a neighborhood near where you all live where if you stood in the middle of the street and shouted that word, you'd be shown to an early grave...or maybe one right on time.

We're now, in South Florida, going through yet another facet of this. If you haven't heard, a 17-year old shot down in the street by a "conscientious" neighborhood watcher. The obviously caucasoid-leaning constabulatory letting the shooter off because the victim wore a hoody. Maybe most of you are too young to remember Watts, Newark and Detroit, but I do. If this sort of ignorance and insensitivity - inconsideration - causes history to repeat itself (once again), I'm not going to be too friendly to anyone here anymore. We have another summer coming up. Why don't we try to make it a NICE one? You'll be glad you did.
