Remember guys:
Anonymity+Average person=Fucktard.
Just remember that if they're busy talking trash of xbox live, they clearly are going to grow up and never really achieve anything memorable. Oh snap, I just insulted myself.

How times have changed.Irridium said:
In a more on-topic light; yes, racism and other forms of bigotry is rampant on Xbox LIVE; it really is a cesspool of a community and I advise you steer well clear of having anyone you don't know unmuted. Especially on MW2.
It's not, really. Stupid people and bigots have never been in short supply throughout human history; the internet just gives us a new and exciting way to deal with them.Daystar Clarion said:
Actually, you might say that part's gotten better with time. Getting called a nasty name in a videogame isn't a picnic, but it sure beats institutionalized malicious racist campaigns, which have been dropping in most parts of the western world.
Yeah like i dont wanna bring up some bad blood or anything but if your gonna get into IRA territory then all i have to do is say black and tans(there not black people or taned people there unifom colours of british troops who oppresed the irish in the early 1900's just before WW2) or not to mention 800 years of oppression but i dont say that to brits when im online with them or hold it against them either like sorry to hear bout your cousin but terrorist did that not the irish peopleFurburt said:
This one time, on some server, there was this guy who, apparently, had an Irish parent and a Scottish parent. Guess how frigging awesome his accent was? I certainly felt bad whenever I killed him.
Eh, racism is old news. Honestly, the only insults that bother me are the ones that are actually valid. Who cares if I'm an X? I mean, that guy obviously does, but who cares what he thinks?

That's kind of what I meant. The internet is the 'new' place for stupid people to hang out.Rutskarn said:
As soon as I jump into any game on my PS3, the mute buttons are hit. It gets me killed, it interrupts game flow, but honestly, I just detest having other people talk to or about me. I get funk for being British on Xbox Live, I get funk for killing people on every game ever, and I get funk for sniping on every game ever. I get it a lot less on PC, in fact, it's quite pleasant, most of the time, but consoles are the breeding ground for racist fucks.
Shiver me shamrocks Leperchaun!
Just kidding.
I don't talk with anyone on Live because 80% are dipshits, just mute/ignore them.

See it everyday especially in those in puberty or high pitched voices, girls, Irish, English, Scottish, American, Arabians, and others.The internet, playstation network and xbox live have grown a fungi called dickheads and developed mold called racist predjulistic prats. i hope that one day th internet will through away it's wooden club and start using soap.
also most people won't read this because it is really long even i wouldn't.

If it was up to me I'd have tracked down and destroyed the majority of XBL users, that's for certain. Though currently I have taken the strategically sound tactic of not playing any multiplayer, which has worked wonders.
Though I have the kind of accent most Americans will either tell to go eat crumpets and drink tea (I am not helped by the fact that I do very much enjoy tea and crumpets), or I shall get the conversely rather nice: "Hehe, your accent is funny; say more words!"

Darn, that has to be the longest sentence I've ever readSpace cowboy89 said:
OT: People with accents = win in my book. But I kinda disagree with the whole "deserved to get slagged when you do something stupid". If someone does something stupid as in killing themselves, accidentally or because they think that will be fun, then that is just awesome-sauce, no need to say anything mean to 'em. If someone does a mistake, there's also no need to be mean (constructive criticism is ok if the player is new to the game), just give 'em a chance...
go minorities! woot! (said like a true polish-norwegian) =P
You already pointed out idiots play games. That's the main thing keeping me going when I hear some idiot trash talking and mic-spamming.
Once some (sounded about) 12 year old American started calling me alternately British or Austrailian, 'cause apparently he couldn't tell the difference. About 15 mins later I heard him get grounded over his mike for some reason. I love Karma.
Two Points:Space cowboy89 said:
1: The Irish give just about the same amount of crap as they take.
2: Despite The validity of your rebuttal (though i couldn't understand the last sentence, the IRA and black and tans now give any retarded Irishman and their younger brother an excuse to be racist online (my school's population is a perfect case study).
Apologies If I sound like I'm trolling, I'm just pissed at most of my general public and their common prejudice.
