Of course, What others do in their personal life does not concern me, aslong as they don't run around being obnoxious in the game then I don't care what you sexual orientation or even gender is..Treflis
that is the exact same way i feel
Because that's how the internet works. I wouldn't even ask anyone's sexual preference, so it wouldn't matter on the basis of adding. If people are cool, they're cool; it's as simple as that. Putting people in certain unnecessary groups only furthers segregation.Daavpuke
100% agreed.
Yeah because, when I'm playing a game over the internet the first thing I must do is discover a person's sexual orientation. It doesn't matter to me in the slightest.
Doesn't bother me, just as there are quite a lot on my friends list on Livewho aren't bothered about how I am. They're a fellow gamer who's hopefully not a sore loser, a cheat, a hacker and so on.
It does not bother me in the slightest.
Gays and lesbians have every right to live out their lifestyle in the way they chose. It's not my lifestyle, but I respect them. Therefore, I wouldn't mind adding them onto my friends list. It doesn't bother me at all.
I can't imagine that sexual preference ever really comes up in online gaming save for the idiots who think they sound so cool shouting racial and homophobic slurs online.
[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.I third the query. Obviously the OP thinks the stereotyping is a problem but, in my experience, sexual orientation never comes into it.Why is this even a question?

...unless someone is overtly stereotypically flamboyant of course. In those cases, of course they're gonna cop it. Same as anyone else with an overt personality will cop it.
I don't care about anyone's ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality. as long as I get along with them I have no problem with their personal aspects.
I could care less what they are doing in their personal lives. If i wanted to add them i would, no big deal.
Why is this even a question?

Exactly. why should it even matter what preference people are? As long as ppl are nice and fair online ill have them on my list.
Unless u plain out ask them or they are open about it i doubt u would even kno

Why would I care if someone's gay Of course I would add them if I liked them as a person/gamer.
But it doesn't suprise me that you've experienced descrimination online -- the community as a whole is very sophomoric and immature.
I don't understand the level of homosexual discrimination on the internet these days.....the most common insult you see is 'fa.gg.ot'. It's just disgusting really-the intolerance of homosexual people in the world is getting out of hand.
I could care less what a person's sexual preference was; I'll treat them as I treat anyone else, regardless of background, orientation, etc.
