Good clans/corps have..

Rules & Regulations that include Sexual Harassment Policy

"Failure of any member to follow the rules and regulations, regardless of rank, title or tenure, can result in various levels of corrective action by Community leadership. This action can include verbal or written counseling, warning level increase, loss of rank or title, suspension and dishonorable discharge..."

I take it your corp has these kind of rules?

Yes we do.

This corp should be outed just so others like your friend will know about this beforehand so they can either steer clear or at least be informed if they do join that corp.

honestly im surprised people still use those words as sexual insults... when I call a red or teammate a f-g, Im thinking hes an ******* that needs to get his ass kicked because hes being a ******* idiot in game and its getting in the way of me helping the team get a victory... im not thinking that hes a homosexual... I could care less about that if you can pull the trigger of your gun to kill the enemy.

I rarely ever think of sexuality when it comes to games, this lifestyle is still new and is going through growing pains, basically going through the stereotypes and sensitive issues.


true gamers don't care what the **** you are; male, female, gay, straight, lesbian, black, white. as long as you can help them to gain victory, youl have the respect you want.

its those little kids that care about what you are.. my advice, either stay away form the kids or kill them in battle and gloat about it.

True

But say you where in a group, you said this or that. But he came to you saying "can you cut it out while i am around"

would you? at least apologize for saying it?

The point of the post was that, HE DID ask for it to quit, and was called "An overly sensitive *****"

Mind if i message you some time in game? Under a different name?

nah, I wouldnt apologize for it, I really mean to call the idiots a ******* ******* in any way I can think of.

I don't give in to sensitive people or pressure, I speak my mind, if your offended by it, your best chance it so mute me.
if you ask respectfully and mannered then yeah, il call the assholes something else but I wont change the way I talk because someone is sensitive to it. that honestly not my problem.

people have their own vocabulary and I have mine. if what I say means something different to you than it does to me, eventually wel both adapt to what each other's meaning behinds words are.

it seems that he lacks confidence in himself because of this, that's what im getting out of it.

I was never asked on this, I honestly want to see what is said out there.

But as you said, say I was this individual, and you were talking much unnecessary trash to the enemy. If I asked in such a way that was neither demeaning of you, or my cause, you would pipe down. Or at least find a new one.

I can careless of swearing. And honestly, I didnt ever have a problem of using "gay" as an insult.

Then I was talked a bit on it, so... kinda asking about.

As a openly gay gamer for the last 17 years all i can say is you've just gotta get over the little stuff, rarely do ppl say these things with actual malice towards the ppl they might be insulting, sometimes they do, then if you wish you document it and report it.

Your friend seems to have the right idea though, if a quite word doesn't change it just move on these games are huge and there is always welcoming groups that don't care or even openly welcome ppl with diverse backgrounds and ways of life, smart people know there is strength in diversity.

People would be wise to remember that what they say in game is kept in vast logs, in eve a copy of the chat logs is kept on your computer, players would have years of convos, here we don't have them or perhaps we don't have access to them, but rest assured CCP does, and if you cross the line they will if prompted kick you in the butt.

(south park had a good episode regarding the use of homophobic insults and their context, my partner doesn't agree with it but I think they have point.)

Name and shame them my friend, watch as the community prepares for war against the clan!
Swearing and the odd competive stuff "w*****r" is generally accepted, but I think that racial, homophobic, or religious slurs are uncalled for and unnecessary.

Unfortunately we live in an odd world and some people lack alot of the better attributes, I think I speak on behalf of the entire community when I extend my deepdst sympathies for your friend and I hope he continues to enjoy the game and the positive side of the community.

this guy gets it

you don't speak for me, iv already stated my view on this.
