why do people keep saying that xbl is racist and or it has too many little kids?

ive had it for over 2 years now, and play it online for a while(gears, halo, forza etc...) and have yet to meet a racist. i have played with 14-17 year olds, but they are just regular people, not really cursing, only when they mess somthing up. i think people blow this rumor way out of control.

Hmmm...if all those people are complaining, and yet YOU have never had anyone do it to you, the only logical answer is...YOU ARE THE ONE CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS!

Seriously though, I don't know who are the people complaining are. I've never heard more than grumbling about those problems. I would hardly say it is a wide-spread and major movement.

Um.. the internet community as a whole has moved in a racistic direction.. Calling each other Jews, "blacks" and such isn't exactly what I would call non-racistic..But I hear these words more and more often.. And well.. little kids seem too use these words the most and considering that you mostly hear kids on XBL makes racistic statements pretty common there. omgimba

thats exactly what im talking about. the only times i hear some one say black is when they refer to them selves. other than that, i never herd no N words, jews, etc, and i have played a fair share og game on xbl.

It was a BIG problem in Halo 2, I was really disgusted by some of the stuff I heard while waiting in the lobby before the game started.

In Halo 3 it's nowhere near as bad, i've yet to come across anyone behaving badly.

I am black and i can tell you there is far more jokes or comments about gays and jews then they are blacks. but this isnt new i mean its been around since online forums and online games have came about. its not just xbl. It is just soceity's real attitude. It is unfiltered thoughts that we cant normally make in public or at work.

people who are alarmed by it need to wake up to the fact that everyone thinks these things.

after all is said and done i find my self highly amused by the comments and wanting to join more games with people like that cause they make me laugh.

Either you don't play very often or you don't switch servers much.

Dude,

I've had it for a year and had a couple of runnins with racists. The weird thing is that I always have my mic off on games while I'm playing, but I still listen. Both occasions there was a kid that just kept droppin the 'N'bomb like it was a bodily function. It's frustrating because I can't do anything about it.

I think its that sense of security that comes with the online community, everyone is a tough guy online, whereas in real life, I would've beaten the hell out of him for speaking out of terms. The second time that happened, I just quit to the lobby, life's too short to waste on the ignorrant. As far as the 12 year olds go, I just mute them and keep going, no problem, easy win.

why not just mute the racists too?

Internet community hasn't moved in a racist/bigoted direction, it's always been there. It's the anonymity that causes it. People feel unfraid to say whatever they want when they're hiding behind a monitor (or television, these days). This is certainly no new or strange development.

XBL is no different than most other online communities. It's just a microcosm of society as a whole. Can't tell me with a straight face that you don't find many of the same hateful pricks in CS as you do in Halo.

But there are probably more annoying people on System Wars here than you'll meet in a few years of XBL.Newnab

That's my impression as well.

And people tend to forget that you don't have to play with total strangers on Xbox Live. Add people to your friends list and play with them, or simply give positive feedback to players you enjoy playing with/against, and the system will try to match you up with those people - even when you search for any open match.

There is so so so much more to XBL than just being a service that lets you play online. Which a lot of people will never understand.

I played halo 3 on xbl at my friends place and the only thing that got said to anyone was

"You stole my kill"

*bang*

"Betrayed"

12 year olds don't know any better, I was 12 once, a bad little ba$Yard at that. The racist,I can't stand to be in the same room with a person like that without throwing mouthshots, and playing with them on XBL even for a minute is like inviting filth into my home. I can't play against them unless it's fight night 3 where I can channel my anger through my boxer (Messiah Shaw). Halo3, it just messes my game up because I'm about ready to explode.

wow that's amazing you must have the best luck in the world....

whenever i play matchmaking on halo 3 i usually end up with some guy who's calling me a fa**ot or a c**T or a ba****d, or it's with kids that sound like they're 3 years old.

psn is sooo much nicer in this aspect

Really? Gears was f'n crazy dude.

I've seen SO much from that. More than Halo 2.

You take the good with the bad.
