Really, I thought the age range of the escapist was about 16-27.
You know since that's the typical age for someone who plays video games on a regular basis.
And It doesn't surprise me that the majority is on the downside.

But I haven't seen many racist, or blatantly anti-homo sentiments from anyone. I have seen plenty of people who are overly-aggressive on subjects, or people that have problems being shown an alternative view.

I have seen an abundance of anti-religious, and anti-Obama comments. Ive also seen a few fanboys putting in their hate for a given console or attacking a popular game(halo,WOW). And on vary rare occasions Ive seen people have unexplained hate towards homosexuals.

But racism is really non-existant, except for maybe a rare joke.

I am 19, but people seem to think I'm 25 when I shave, comb my hair, and put on a suit.

I blame the suit.

EDIT: Also, while I have seen SOME bad posters on the Escapist, they're generally in the minority.

13-17? Not really liking that, but I complain too much.

I'm 16 and like to think highly of myself. And perhaps you will grow to think so too.

This is the internet. Some things are expected.

I'm approximately 16 presently.
I i feel sorta happy to see all the users here defending their intelligence/lack of ignorance.
It makes me feel proud to apart of the Great Escapist Nation.

...even though i'll admit that i get a little uncomfortable when i see a Racism thread pop up now and again...

Why would you assume that all teenagers are racist. Racism is based on political views and opinions passed down trough the generations. There is a higher chance that you'll join the KKK if you father is a white supremacist than if the ****** stole your bike (cookie for reference).

OP: I will turn 15 in one day

The vast majority of the users on this site seem to be much more mature than you give them credit for, in my experience. I barely ever see racist, sexist or homophobic posts, at least not without the good old "this user was put on probation/suspension/banned for this post."

21.

While there are definitely immature folks on the board, the same can be said of any forum. I'd call the Escapist's users pretty much par for the course, and considering how many are in their teens, that's impressive (no offense, teenagers).

I'm the age of the 'How old are you' threads added together divided by the number of Halo threads.

Edit: Wow, OP. Because calling people immature while trolling to get attention to your thread isn't hypocritical at all.

ok so about 10 divided by 8,675,152.... that equals to.....o.00000000000000000000000012374521.....
