I don’t really see this issue all that often in the game. Maybe it’s just that I don’t typically play during peak hours?
But I’ve done dungeons, I’ve done world bosses, etc, and the vast majority of the time what the OP is discussing isn’t an issue. Or sure, there are always a few lewd comments, but nothing like whats being discussed here. All one can really do is report it, that’s what the report feature is for. Beyond that, there’s a filter and an ignore function. Those are the options.
As for the N-word specifically, it just makes me roll my eyes. That is such a double standard. Its perfectly ok for a black man to say it, but its racist when a white man uses it. Cmon now. It’s either racist or its not, it cannot be both. Just further shows how terrible our society really is.
1)Its all fine for someone to say, insert your culture can hold their liquor, its not ok and fine for other people to say, hey that culture is a bunch stinking alcholics. If one ever came around my daughter i would just leave trail of liquor bottles leading to a spike pit.
2) just because 1% of the total population may or may not be ok being labeled a certain way, does not mean the population as a whole is ok with it. For example, your grandmother may many times say, women need to stay home and take care of their kids, and keep a clean house, and let the men earn money. That doesnt mean its ok for men to go around saying every woman should do that, and for them to tell people hey, i can say that, because lanfear Shadowflames mother always told me that, and shes a woman.No it’s oke for them to say that because of free speech. But I don’t see how this is on topic.
I repeat it again for the last time. Because you disagree or find something offensive does not make it forbidden. So you can report, you can ignore and you should move on.
free speech is not unlimited. you dont get to do and say whatever you want
harassment (either harris-meant or huh-rass-meant) n. the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious. Such activities may be the basis for a lawsuit if due to discrimination based on race or sex, a violation on the statutory limitations on collection agencies, involve revenge by an ex-spouse, or be shown to be a form of blackmail (“I’ll stop bothering you, if you’ll go to bed with me”). The victim may file a petition for a “stay away” (restraining) order, intended to prevent contact by the offensive party. A systematic pattern of harassment by an employee against another worker may subject the employer to a lawsuit for failure to protect the worker.
