Guild Wars 2

hope so, this is one game where it kinda depends on it or siblings will be kicking each other’skitten over pooled TP sales, collectibles, guilds etc.

if you’re talking to me, “W.B.” does not stand for white boy in my post. the other W.B.

tbh I don’t think anything in game should be censored. I’m sick of people using TV’s and computers as babysitters. Adults with delicate sensibilities should bite the bullet and go back to watching soap operas all day. A racist would probably get what i’d call adequate scorn from other adults and a robotic email telling you your banned isn’t any measure of sincerity. if they don’t, that’s life, ignore them. the whole point is that people are here complaining because they broke a rule they said they wouldn’t. they actually seem puzzled as to why lol

When black people stop using the N word on themselves, will be the day I take that word seriously. I don’t use it personally, but it’s hard to be sympathetic to them when they allow others in their own community to freely abuse it.

/yawn saw that coming. “Context”, google it

The problem is, they often use it in the same ‘context’ when angry at one another. So not accepting this ‘context’ spin. I take the word seriously (I’m Mexican and been called it a few times, by family even). But when it is used by the very same people, and in the same context, who should be the last ones ever using it, it only perpetuates the use of the word by others. You can spin it any way you want, it still comes out the same.

No it’s not the same context. If you swam across a border illegally with your family and one of them later called you a “W.B.”, it’s impossible in a negative context for the insult to have the gravity that it’s intended to, its whole function is to offend coming from someone it does not apply to. They’d just be reminding you of the alienation by someone else, both of you could not possibly convince each other otherwise.

/yawn saw that coming. “Context”, google it. and btw, it’s still against TOS if a living breathing black person says it in game.

it’s more than mildly amusing a few of these that are banned “unjustly” admit they were using racial slurs, or “I don’t remember if I did” as opposed to “Of course not!”, which is in the TOS of every retail MMO in existence. They actually think they’ll be taken seriously trying to persuade GW2 staff on what’s unfair. Oh yea and the severity of the consequences should be on a sliding scale that adapts to my days off from work. You want a warning, since when is this kindergarten?

The funniest part though is the whole “I pay my hard earned money to just relax with friends, you’re spoiling my fun”. So did the black guy who sees the N word in chat a few times daily. Please tell me you clowns are just venting, and aren’t actually stupid enough to think you have a valid argument. It’s not only a joke based on the fact you “signed” an agreement, but silly compared to how civilized people should act outside of a game. I probaby drop an F bomb every few sentences but if I got banned for it I’d feel so embarrassed afterwards if I got mad enough to come here looking for pity. Right now I’m even embarrassed FOR you.
