I hear what you are saying but for as a gay person of color I have had different experiences to MMO and online game. Also everyone else that I know who is lgbt or a person of color have faced racist and homophobic slurs and remarks from people while playing games. There is a reason why a Gaymer Con exist. I have had people use racist slurs when playing games and not to mention how often I have people call people and things "fags" or gay" while playing. I want to play with people that will not use that kind of language and will be more inclusive.
I do not know you but I will make an assumption that you are a white male. If not I apologize for making an incorrect assumption. But for straight, white men this issue may not be a serious one. For people of color, women and LGBT gamers we face real world insults in these fantastical worlds that Bungie is creating. I am not creating a group that is separate but rather a group free from insults, racism and ignorant slurs.
This virtual world should be inclusive of and treat people fairly. I can not leave my gayness outside of this world no more than I leave my blackness. I am creating a clan that understands that and really creates a safe place for people to game.
I can see what you are saying, but if Godling wants to be in a particular type of clan, is it fair to criticise? If Godling wants to talk lgbt issues, or just feels comfortable and at home in that community, is it really reasonable to deride that choice?
Also Elite, I have seen some "mature adults" get all freaked out when a woman or an effeminate man starts chatting in a game. When I play these games I also try to make friends so I discuss my personal life. Some people for personal or other reasons might freak when they hear guys talking about their husband, women talking about their girlfriends or trans people discussing who they are dating or whats going on in theirs lives. I want to make a group that puts people on notice up front that this topics maybe discussed if you join this clan.
Wow! You know what you two? Your conversation actually made me very happy! It is so rare with discussions where both parts are mature and respectful, and no one ends up hurt.
I hope you have a great day!
