Racism and homophobia have absolutly no place anywhare as far as im concerned. Normally when it comes to nameing and shaming im not in favour but when someone is consistantly racist or homophobic then id gladly name and shame. These kids ned to be educated or at least informed that such oppinions should be kept to themselves in adult comunitys. If your friend has any issues concerning homophobia then get them to report the partys involved.

It's so sad that our society (well, maybe "society" is not the best term, since I would say this actaully extends to the whole planet) is so used to refer to sexuality or race as an insult.

It's so... withering.

However, I have an idea of the ****storm that a gamer woman runs into when playing online games. Personally (as a woman), I don't really want to get a microphone to talk with people. I know it would be helpful for some games (like this one) to coordinate with my team, but I really don't feel motiveted to use a mic when I play.

In the end, I would use it just a few times, because there is no way I would talk in a mic during a public game, knowing of what generally happens to my friends.

If people doesn't insult you or tell you to STFU, it's because the whole thing is getting very creepy.

Sometimes I feel so disgusted because of what happens in the voice chat (DUST is not the case, but there are quite enough women on Call of Duty and some other game) that I feel so bad and I can't have fun any longer. I just turn my PS3 off.
