I can't believe there are people out there that talk like this

[VulakAerr]

right so he's not racist. but he is opposed to playing as one race... he's incredibly stupid, homophobic and racist.

As Marcus Brigstocke once put it:"Whenever somebody starts a sentence with 'I'm not a racist, but', prepare yourself for the single most racist, bigoted and misinformed thing you've ever heard."

Serious kudos for quoting the Brig. He's one of my favourites, and this particular quote is spot on (as per usual).

OP: Ignore it. This is the internet. You'll go crazy if you let everything like that affect you. :/

 

[Chris^^]

are you serious? that's just ridiculous...

 

[Fleaman]

It's cute that everyone thinks this is trolling. Because, America stopped being racist in the 60s, right?

Come on, it's just some Halo-trash white kid. How is this kind of talk not pretty much what we all expect?

 

[monstersquad]

wanna know whats worse? a racist black person. they can and will throw the race card around acting like its a get out of jail free card. you know one day its gonna get to the point where some black guys gonna start a killing spree, get arrested, play the race card, get free and a huge riot will start, then a law will be passed saying blacks cant use the race card unless theres definitive proof that justifies playing the race card(ie, getting beaten by 6 cops over a busted taillight, having the n word screamed at you by the waiter at a restraunt)

WHAT!?!?!?! How or when was this ever relevant?

As for the OP, dont worry, it's not people who talk like that, it's obviously some greasy teen sitting in a dark, dank nut-smelling room pouring all his hate and frustration into his little electronic box.

 

[ChocoFace]

I can't even wrap my mind around how someone can think that.

"I'm not a racist but I really hate niggers."

Just...how?

That's actually an anecdote i once heard. Now that i see someone being serious about it, i'm just lost for words.

i dunno just ranting. still mad for being called a racist because i have hearing issues

 

[adderseal]

Yeah, the world is full of people like this. Oh well.
I hope everyone realizes that racism has been around since civilization began, and will never ever go away. It's not pretty but it's a Fact of Life. Just like war and poverty.

 

[jhlip]

There will sadly always be dumb and ignorant people. The trick to life is to ignore them.

 

[Fwee]

TROLL. move on.

I was just checking out the heller vs mercer dev diary(Prototype 2) over at Gametrailers, when i came across this comment by a user
"play a ni**er? srsly im not a racist but its gay to play someone who isnt white.' I was shocked and out of words, i just could not believe that there are people who hold such opinions, heck i didn't even think stuff like that was an issue at all. He's making a big deal just cause the main character is not white? Pls i'm not trying to start a race war but i just wanted to know what you guys think

wait, how the hell is the guy "not racist"? He has a problem with not being able to play as a White character but he's not racist? What the hell's this guy on?

And using "gay" to describe something bad is, always has been, and always will be, the Mark of a moron.

 

[Soet Poet]

I love how he completely contradicts himself in the very same sentence. Twice, basically. Using the n-word, then stating he isn't a racist? Then stating he thinks it's "gay" not to play as a white person?

I gotta hand it to you, random-commenting douchebag. It's rare to see so much hypocrisy and hate-inducing crap in one sentence. Hats off.

"******" isn't necessarily a hate-word unless used in a demeaning fashion. At least not where I come from. Did you know that "negro" means "black" in spanish?

Also, saying "the n-word" is censorship, which I thought most escapists were against. And if we're gonna play that game, start saying "the c-word" for "cracker" and "the other c-word" for "*****". Also, ban the word "fag" (cigarette) in the english language!

This guy probably has the same opinion as others in this thread (wanting to play a relatable character) but is not very well-versed in the english language. So get off your high horses. Also, like it or not, you do not NEED to be a homophobe to use the term "gay" derogatively. It's the internet.

 

[Vonnis]

I'd assume this to be a low level multitasking troll, bashing race and sexual preference in one retarded sentence. Nothing to see here.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Well shit. There's a revelation.

It's now "Gay" to be a black man.

Anybody who has to say "I'm not racist but..." really, really is. People like this are ten a penny and they piss me off. A lot.

 

[funguy2121]

Trolls don't stick to Escapist threads. You'll find them everywhere.

in hungary, at the party election a radically right-winged party's propaganda poster said
"we're going to stop gipsy crimes" (gipsies are like afro-amerikans in amerika, the general racism allways targets them)
it really shocked me that nobody even bothered with it, nowhere, in the TV or in the general gossips was this any of an issue, like it's so natural to say racist things on a billboard in front of hundred thousands of people

just saying so you don't have to feel like idiots are only in you're county

Well, it is well known fact that theft is inseparable part of Romani culture, thus you can hardly call it racism or stereotyping if its true.

Don't worry, everybody's a racist. Even the act of calling someone a racist is based in racism. The problem isn't that, it's discrimination that's the real, tangible issue. People look into racist words too often and too much, but they also turn a blind eye to outright discrimination with the same frequency, which is what's really wrong

I will only play louis in l4d.

ONLY.

No on else, ever, under any circumstance.
