H0mo sexual Gamers

[QUOTE="KlownMaster"]Wow this was an intresting read, I'm gonna have to agree with Pirate 700, nobody wants to know if your gay don't ask don' tell.solid_mario

I don't think he's asking gays to hide their sexual orientation. He's saying nobody really cares if you feel insulted ONLINE. Like I said, being an Asian-American I've dealt with racism on and offline. It's a matter of how you cope with it. In real life, you can beat the **** out of them. Online however, the most you can do is ignore it. What the hell is the point in letting some random dude get to you? That's obviously what they are trying to do.

[QUOTE="Boostinsane"][QUOTE="Pirate700"][QUOTE="Boostinsane"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]

A custom game is still public. Seriously, nobody needs not WANTS to know about you being gay nor your gay escapades. You know nobody does so just keep it to yourself and play the game.

Pirate700

If they are asking you, then like I assumed, you are probably pretty flaming gay Maybe tone it down a little. Have you thought about that?

Are you gay

Would you change your mind if the majority of people in society where gay also, I don't see how people can have gay genes". I can't see how people are born gay Its your choice if you want to be gay or not. its all up there. FYI, i don't want to sound like I'm offending gays here.Mikeyspikey0

Not it's not. Given the choice, I would have chosen to be a heterosexual.

What did you expect. Teenagers don't like gay people just like they don't like whatever else isn't mainstream. Plus gay people are just fun to make fun of because they are funny and insecure.

Why do you need to be openly gay online for games? Unless you sound flaming or something HTF would anyone even know? Sounds like you are just looking for attention. :?Pirate700

.... people online talk about sexual stuff.... and everything with it.... if someones gay they shouldn't have to say they are straight to feel like a part of the community.....

The real question is why does it matter?

Honestly, how do you not feel welcome?

Dont talk to your BF about sex online then when there are a bunch of other people listening :| What do you expect to happen?EVOLV3

I DON'T TALK ABOUT SEXUAL STUFF ONLINE! WTH ARE YOU KIDDING ME!. all i do is acknowledge the fact that i'm gay and it usually comes up without me knowing.Boostinsane

Really how do you do that? I'm straight but it's hardly like I go into a game and let everyone know that.

Also, let me introduce you to a general rule of internet gaming:

i know how to avoid the problem, i'm just wondering why people are people so insensitive to begin with? i don't want to hide who i am in order to have fun on xbox live, people who put on false fonts are, to be frank, kind of creepy.Boostinsane

The_Flush and thekoroth are gay and they seem like nice people, and ithink the darknight6 iss bi and he seems like a nice fella, as long as you don't shout on VOIP about your explicit sex life then it dosn't bother me in the slightest... though that isn't exclusive to gaysmarkop2003

Yep, pretty much what I was thinking. I dont have anything against gay posters on Ot or Xbox Live for that matter.

Just some people do not like it being flaunted in their faces at times.

Skylarkell

I don't even like when people do that. I won't refrain from mentioning it, if it is actually brought up in conversation (it never has been on xbl) but going out of your way to say something about it is just a call for trouble.

I love that video.

:lol:

[QUOTE="Boostinsane"]

i don't know about you but i think the gaming community as a whole disowns gamers who are openly gay

Theokhoth

*Cough*

I don't feel disowned.:(

Yeah, what are you talking about? Gamers definatley seem more open minded than other demographics.

i'm being TREATED DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE OF MY SEXUALITY and it seems that there is a strong consensus in the gaming community that gay people should be treated like crap. you may think it's an opinion to bash on gays online now but man the way things are going, IT'S GOING TO BE DANG NEAR CUSTOMARY TO DO SO. homosexuals make up a very small minorty of society, and an even smaller one in the gaming community. don't we want as many people enjoying video games as possible? shouldn't gaming be more inclusive than exclusive? don't you want the art to stay alive? if you do stevo, than why can't you sympathize with my -- and everyother homosexual gamer's -- situation?Boostinsane

And you wouldn't have been if you'd kept your mouth shut or if you did yourself any justice and muted the damn guys being immature or obnoxious. Play your games, mute those who annoy you, and enjoy your experience. You brought this upon yourself and yet you claim yourself as the victum? Cry me a river, lad -- that mute button is there for a reason. Use it to shut those damn guys up, so you can enjoy your online matches. If you don't, then that's your own damn fault. I don't sympathise you or anyone else who crys about XBL -- it's a mean world out there, if someone has a different opinion or belief than you, then oh well. Deal with it. :|

People pick on everybody else for damn near everything. I have Americans shouting at me for being British, people shouting at me for having long hair and for liking heavy metal. If you paint a target on yourself, you really shouldn't be surprised if people take a shot at you.

Insensitive? Disowns? God, dude, grow some balls. All the 'n' words spouted on Live, the gay bashing, the supposed hatred there is hardly indicitive of any 'injustice'. :roll:bigdcstile

[QUOTE="TheFlameProof"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]You sound like a guy that takes things too seriously and can't take a joke. Lighten up. :lol:DabsTight703

Yeah it's a joke. Hell, I've had to deal with racism on Live but you don't see me going here to whine about it. People on Live are going to make fun of gays regardless of whether you like it or not. So you can do one of two things. 1) Realize it's a freaking joke and if it was an insult, IGNORE IT. 2) Whine about it to a bunch of people that are probabaly the same people on Live that make fun of homosexuals in the first place.

BAM! PWN3D!!

Also, "Complete corporation"! LOL

I must say that I agree 100% with everything Pirate 700 has said. My verdict: TC is a sniveling attention whore who refuses to accept that there are dozens of provided solutions to the problem (you being flamed on Live, not you being gay.)

And anyway, what the hell does you you playing an FPS have to do with you sexuality?? They should be totalyy unrelated.

[QUOTE="lonewolf604"]

key word....openly.....i mean, there are those people who use that 3 letter word that starts with an F, i don't like that, and there are a lot of immature people online. if you were openly gay then that was kind of your fault

Boostinsane

Well maybe, it's because being gay is not normal.

i'm dealing with it right now, by means of formal complaint and request for, at the very least, awareness. why does the world have to be so cruel anyways? it doesn't have to be that way and you thinking that that's just the way things are isn't going to make the world any better.Boostinsane

So cliche.

People have the right to believe whatever they so please, if they want to be prejudice against homosexuals, then they have the right to believe such. What you believe is wrong or right does not dictate what others believe.

Seriously, you can't boo hoo about this. It is what you are so just accept it, if people call you names, they're just calling you what you are. Why can't gay people just get over this.USSJAndrew

Well, I have yet to meet a gay guy that is composed of bundels of sticks. Just saying.

socializing = building a stronger bond with your teammates to reach a common goal. those who progress in games such as halo 3, COD4, or Gears are usually those that can work well with each other through active communitcation. sometimes this communication isn't always related to things happening in the warzone. soilders, for instance, are required to trust each other and bond with each other usually BEFORE they go off to war in order to survive. sexuality comes up sometimes (for heteros: "oh dude, remember that hot chick...") before ranked games and during custom games as part of this bonding experiance. that's how it's related.Boostinsane

Protip: You don't have to answer statements about "hot chicks", especially in games heavily populated by frat boys.

Yeah, all those protests with "God hates [ed: men who eat carpet]" must be really upsetting to you.xaos

Xaos pretty much said what I was going to say.
