What's with all the **** sexists, racist people?!

Today on GS I have seen more homophobes, racists and sexists than I thought possible. It is genuinely worrying. Is this some kind of trend that all the "cool" kids are adopting or something?

And please say I'm not the only one noticing this.

lol. you're the only one.

also, womens rights :lol:

Thats been around here for a while...its just now that every single thread on the first 3 pages is about being gay its really coming out.

Don't worry, I've seen it too. I blame the parents.

also, womens rights :lol:JLAudio7

lol. Coming out xD haha. not sure if anyone else noticed that...

I have a good story about a homophobe, but I don't want to type it up right now.Bio_Spark

Make a thread about it if it's worth it. ;)

I just noticed that... This is waaaaayyy more than I've seen on gamespot.

Too many closets in the OT. ;)

I've seen it more on Xbox Live *back in my time.

*I'm rarely online anymore, mind you.

Doubt it, maybe your just sarcasm impaired? OT is full of sneaky sarcasm and innuendos.

What's with all the people that yell RACIST SCUM when you say rap is violent or Barrack Hussein Obama's name sounds like Saddam Hussein + Osama Bin Laden? That's what I don't get. That's not being racist, that's just noticing things that are true.pseudodog07

Of course it's not racist. Hip-Hop is not violent by definition.

However seeing some significance in Barrack Hussein Obama's name isn't racist, it's just really stupid.

So, why are you switching to call it hip-hop? I was talking about rap. And, let me get this out of the way, because it's the next thing someone is going to say: No, not every rap ever made is violent.

So, you completely deny that his name is controversial whatsoever? And that everyone who thinks that for a moment is stupid? Give me a break. Obama said his name is controversial himself.

I don't deny his name has caused some controversy. However that controversy is ridiculous because his name is clearly irrelevant. And the people who seriously believe his name has any bearing on his policies at all are stupid to do so.

As for Rap and Hip-Hop, they are both names for the exact same thing. I choose to always call it all Hip-Hop because it sounds better to me.

Yeah but that was after your post, but anyway yeah if you know not every rap is violent why bring it up.

This is a video game forum board, what did you expect ? Intelligent and educated people ? :P

Just ignore them...

Maybe I can influence someone to never again buy any of the violent crud. Because I think the world would be a better place if they didn't.

I am confused, Whats a homophobe?

ppl seem to use it in way to many diffrent ways.

Well judging by you profile you play quite a few violent M rated games maybe you should stay away from them before you start trying to keep people away from the music they like. And how will not buying that music help the world in anyway.

The true definition is "People who have an unnatural fear of homosexual people". Although most the time, it's used when someone just hates homsexuals.

OMG, then they can't buy any Tarrantino movies either. Or play any FPS whatsoever. :o

A lot of gangsta rap is indeed gratuitously violent however violence is often a significant part of the black community and so some Hip-Hop inevitably reflects this as sincerely as possible. Reality is what it is.

Yeah, your'e right and I knew you were going to say that. I don't deny that the amount of violent games, including the amount that I play, is a problem. I think it's less pervasive in outside culture than rap is, but it makes me somewhat hypocritical. I don't deny my own problem. Why can't you ever find rap people who will admit that they are a major part of the problem as well?

Good argument but I wouldn't have included the part about the black community, violence is a big part of the world in general and he will just use this as a way to bring in race.

It's not just a significant part of the black community. My community and the whole larger area are quite mixed with races, so it is a big part of my whole community. People driving around like they are trying to out boogieman the next guy.

Ah yes indeed, however statistics show that crime is more pervalent in the non-white community and this because they are generally less better off financially.

Yes and I will also agree that the narrow image of the black male and female in mainstream Hip-Hop culture could also contribute to the attitudes of young black people. That is why we need a balance in the Hip-Hop that is presented by the media.

MC Eighit says in his song Menace to Society he was a menace. And if you were talking about the fans of rap maybe they won't admit it because GASP they aren't all criminals. Mercenary848

But, making or owning another song about being a menace isn't going to help anything. Just like the next violent video game I buy isn't going to help anything.

Agreed, though this might just be in my nieborhood it seems a lot of people are turning away from the more mainstream rap and are looking towards the underground although a lot of times that is worse when it comes to violence.

It might. Many people would find it pretty shocking and disturbing the amount of them I play. And, contributing to people being more disturbed by the world around them doesn't help society.
