Is it ironic that black people are the ones most commonly dropping the N word? You can't expect to eradicate usage of the word when the most outspoken critics of its usage are also the most prevalent offenders.

Well recently I was invited to a PUG for VOG and it sounded like the other 5 players were black. We were kinda stuck on Atheon and one guy was getting real frustrated. So I said into the mic "Don't get your knickers in a bunch." The chat exploded in racial slurs thrown my way. They're just underpants people. Underpants.

welcome to the real world. sorry to say it but it is full of assholes and morons better toughen up or find another solution

Basically it looks like the "FREE SPEECH BITCH" crowd is drowning out the decent people. Kids, it isn't being PC, or cowtowing to anything. It's easy enough to say "grow thicker skin", but think of it this way: why do you play Destiny? The answer? To escape the real world. For a lot of people, this is their means of release, to get lost in a world not as terrible as the one they're in. So to you, it may be no big deal to call someone a -blam!-, or a fag, or any other slur, but to them? To them, they hear it all the time anyways. They came here to not hear it (well definitely not the forums, but the game). It isn't being a SJW, or as I said before PC. It's, very simply put, being a considerate person. That's it. It really is that simple. Don't insult people based on their race, gender, religion, or sexuality. Call them stupid, call them losers, call them things that [i]anyone[/i] can be/relate to. Otherwise you're just an asshole, and you probably have random people joining your fireteam because no one wants to be friends with a douchecanoe. TL;DR? Yeah, you're probably one of those people.

Just complain when you see the KKK outside your house other then that, that word is no biggie ! Your safe. (:

Just mute them, that word is often the go to word for many young adults in gaming sadly.

If you party chat with RANDOMS, then don't expect them to give a shit about what offends you. Other than doing it voluntarily, there is no way to chat with other people in this game.

You're just as bad as they are. you singed out a group of people and classified them as uneducated geeks

Part of the reason why I have yet to use my mic and headset with Destiny and probably never, ever will. I'm a mulatto ( one white parent, one black parent ) who grew up in the Caribbean and I have a very heavy Caribbean accent. I've been getting shit about my voice and my accent for decades and the last thing I want is some racist Muther -blam!-er on the other end of the mic to be giving me shit about the way I speak and how I pronounce certain words.

Do you get mad when black people use that word?

So, I was in a raid group, right. Now, me, yeah, I'm African American, but I did not say full blown sentences the whole time we went through the raid, maybe a couple chuckles or a quick "Yo", or "Alright" however, I still did my job, being the only level 30 in there. But, next thing you know, the N word was being thrown around the group like crazy. I remember one of the guys who weren't in the raid group but still in the party say "I hate this guy, he's such a "N" and so on. I guess he was playing crucible and got killed, so it goes. Anyways, I would think to myself 'I'm sitting right here." There was even a time where a guy asked if I was related to Eddie Murphy. Lol. I started to think, "Racists are the problem, not the ones they are discriminating." I'm one to judge by actions and thought patterns rather than by race, and even with that, I only judge if I'm judged first, or if people are literally asking to be judged. But, like, if you're still racist, something's wrong with you.
