People are so f*cking overly sensitive, entitled and easily offended ... and half the time pull some race or gender card for their lack of success,ambition, will or their toilet paper skin & esteem. some just make conflict where there is none.. THERE AREN'T enough [race here],Women! or [sexual preference here] type characters in this, This is Anti-X. Instead o creating their own thing, People in gaming as of late want to shove their ideals down people's throat SO BAD,YOU HAVE TO CONFORM to their personal preference. [quote]The Reality: This kind of harassment leaves long-lasting damage. It affects our friendships, and can cause us to be distant from others.[/quote] ...an example of being "Overly sensitive" You know how many times I've been called a N*gger, online and in real life? I don't go around like. I...I just can't trust my Caucasian,Latin,Asian friends anymore...not...not after what that random dude said to me..THEY ARE JUST LIKE HIM! *runs away dramatically* This chick has so much assumption & generalization in this "article" is ridiculous....you just group EVERYONE with the bad apples? ...seriously? using only facetious INTERNET comments as a basis for an argument ....seriously? I will ALWAYS be given sh*t,weather for being Black, or more importantly just being a person with an opinion. lol people are a**holes,get over it....They need to grow a metaphorical pair. "This game/idea is Sh*t" ...OH IT'S BECAUSE I"M A [Woman]/[Race here]/[Sexual preference here]! There are some legit trolls out there,don't get more wrong. But they act like they are the 1st person to ever get "harassed" or insulted. The fact she let her jimmies get rustled over that means they have done their job. EVERY/ANY dev could pull that I'm being harassed crap. You know how easy it'd be for Bungie/Activison ANY Team could say they are being harassed by X group because they are X? They are given sh*t ALL the time, like ANYONE one else in gaming,SOMEONE is ALWAYS unhappy,someone is always going to troll. They could EASILY make up some article about how they are being treated this way because of something to do with race,gender,sexual preference. Instead of [u]playing the victim[/u] all the time and B*tching about it, they go on about their business. You know how easily an unsuccessful dev team could go on and say people don't support their game because we are mostly X and Support X or we don't like X. Why would someone even want to waste time arguing with some close minded individual? those people more then often say your argument is Moot & can't POSSIBLY understand their level of anguish and harassment blah blah.. If I wanted to see a change in gaming,which I do,but...instead of b*tching ,blaming,pointing fingers and playing the victim card, Maybe I should actually get involved and try to make a difference by actual DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. ..something besides whining.
