Imperator Prime on xbl, got a mic.


For all the people saying "what's the use of a thread like this," seemingly oblivious to online homophobia, here's a really basic explanation. Whether we use it or not, whether we limit ourselves to it or not, some of us appreciate a "safe list" of people we can play online with so that if we get talking about our offline lives over the mic (as plenty of people do) we don't have to put up with childish ****s yelling "****" if we mention, for example, our significant other.

It's not so much about "shared interests"-- just because I'm gay doesn't mean that I want to chat with other gay guys about stereotypically 'gay interests' crap like interior design and fashion-- it's about making your experience online more agreeable by selecting a peer group (which is everyone's prerogative) that you can reasonably expect not to treat you like bigoted jagoffs. And while I haven't run into a lot of those, I have PUGed with some in the past. I'd like to hedge my bets against getting them again.

Frankly I think it would be much better to have a "name & shame the racist/sexist/homophobic douchebags" thread where, instead of treating the agreeable people as the exception, we published a list of the disagreeable people we encounter online so that anyone who wants to avoid them can... what? Does xbox or any of the other systems support "ignore lists" and PUG exclusion of the people on them? If not, then maybe this kind of "looking for X" thread is the best we can do.

But the point remains, if you're in the privileged position of never having felt discriminated against or slandered online-- not for how you play but for who you are-- then you aren't fit to judge the selective grouping behaviour of people who aren't. There are in fact plenty of ignorant, hateful idiots online and nobody who prefers to avoid them owes anyone else an explanation or an apology. If you aren't one of those unpleasant people then by all means, join the "in group," but don't make excuses for them or pretend that they aren't out there, because it's unjust to everyone who's encountered them and had a lousy time of it.

WHEN I WAS in school k-5

all the students would sit together to form a circle about 20-30 kids one kid would whisper anything to the next student ear and that kids would do the same until it came back to the original kid...then the kid would stand up and repeat what was said to him USUALLy its pretty hilarious.

For example...i would say potato, and usually i would get something like "so and so person has a crush on so and so person who likes to take so-so person out for a patato date"

If you want to play with people who share certain characteristics with you, then feel free to open a thread or post one like you are doing now. That's entirely ok, though not everybody seems to get why you would want to play with somebody you actually enjoy talking to - for whatever reason. 

Naming and shaming people is an irritating concept however, there's the report function for that. There has also been a thread around here where XBLers had a contest about who had the most negative reputation, so such a system doesn't seem to work as intended at all...

Nice well written explanation, if anyone else pops in to act displeased or confused about the point of the thread, direct them to this.

Bryan you should just lock this thread. It was dead anyway. Got necro'd for no purpose at all.

Do you have any idea the $%^&storm the people on this thread would create if they closed this?

False. It was just hibernating - it needed some beauty sleep.

Glad to see there's renewed interest in this thread! Since it's been "necro'd" I've been contacted by several new players who support the goal and purpose of this thread. I've already played several matches with some of them and am looking forward to more =)

So, do you advertise your sexual prefrence online? Because that just screams attention wh0re and you're likely to be abused because you conciously drew attention to it, especially if the person is homophobic. If not, then how the hell do they know? More likely it's the typical juvinille or tongue in cheek insults thrown for no reason other than because they can. Nothing more satisfying than trolling the douchebags. The reactor hazard exists for a reason.

Actually if you look at the post that bumped it, it had nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.
