EA Hosting Panel on hom ophobia in Gaming

I expect Activision to crash the party calling everyone queers and saying they are all going to hell. Acti is evil enough to go there lolSparkyProtocol

You, sir, just made my day.

So I dont really recall playing any games with homophobic suggestions or dialog. This just sounds to me like another group ****ing about something they feel they need to be offended by. You hear worse going to a bar or to a Yankee game than you hear on XBL or play in any game. I guess it couldnt hurt to have a panel on reducing the amount of vulgarity and general nastyness of players on XBL though.

[QUOTE="legol1"]i do not understand what it mean to be (openly gay ) when you play video games ? what people are doing in their bedroom is personal and xbox live isnt the place to find a lover .svetzenlether

So you'd be all for censorship, then? Because if that's the case, then everyone on XBL who talked about their girlfriends or wives or whatever would have to be censored as well, to keep things equal.

Besides, this has alot to do with insults and slurs that get tossed around online, too, regardless of whether or not there are openly gay gamers present.

All i have to say is if you are gay keep it to yourself...

[QUOTE="cainetao11"][QUOTE="jonesy1911"]I don't agree with people being gay as i don't believe its right, but i'd never say anything horrible to them or be intentionally aggressive in anyway. In fact i have quite a few gay friends who i've known since we were kids. I just don't want to know what people get upto in the privacy of their own bedrooms or homes, just the same as me not wanted to hear a straight person talking about their wives or husbands/bf/gf.jonesy1911

[QUOTE="rybe1025"]No it is called a person acting like they have no class if they have to talk about their bedroom habits on XBL or PSN. Children should not be hearing stuff from people that do not have the lack maturity to not be able to speak in a normal fashion on a company internet service.rybe1025

That doesn't have anything to do with homosexuality; it has to do with sex in general.
