Oh. Your comparing racism to to in game exploitation. ones causes loss of enjoyment by many. The other causes loss of life. Over simplification or not, that was executed in entirely bad taste, the fact that you used "black man" in your example is a product of your own latent racism and poor adjustment to real social problems and hierarchies, probably best explained by you spending too much time in virtual worlds and not the real one. Honestly love it when people make themselves look stupid trying to prove a point

  • I love it too. It's a perfectly acceptable analogy, though it is a bit extreme I will admit.The fact that you had to nitpick my use of "black man" to say that I am racist, however, is a bit of a stretch. I did not make myself look stupid; you [b]TRIED[/b] to make me look stupid with your post.

  • I wasn't nitpicking. I am black. I found it offensive.

  • "Black man" is not offensive, it's a fact. You are looking for a racial term to be offended by which is absolutely ridiculous. If I wanted to be racist, I have a lot more colorful language for that.

  • Wow. I was not offended by the black man part. I was offended it just happened to be the race you associate with murder. In your oversimplified analogy, why did it have to be a black man? Were Mexicans not sufficient? Or Caucasians? Hell. Did the "man" in questions skin colour even have to be in your analogy? Reporter

  • Also, if I am going to compare racism to the issue, then I do have to include a race. I hope you realize that the whole point of my post was to say that blanket banning is a bad idea because not all hunters are the same (thus the racism reference).

  • No matter what I said, someone would be offended. Statistically, african americans murder the most people each year, so I why wouldn't it be the race I associate with murder?

  • Conveniently pulled stats to serve your purpose. Lets not forget the US police forces/sherriffs departments have proven track records of discrimination. Do a quick check. Caucasians own the scoreboard on serial killers. Why? Because their often not the first race scrutinized. Leaving them free to re-offend.

  • I'm done talking about race; you turned this from a point concerning the game into a race war. Funny how the people that complain about racism are usually the people to do that, eh?
