Don't Be Fooled by Other Players: "Bad Guns" are Hidden Gems!

[-Gews- 7443]

It's still bad form.. "stay away from the Irish, the British and southern people".. wtf is with that?

I don't have a problem with those accents... but I've had a problem with every talkative Australian I've met. I try to stay away from those guys.

[green_machine 179]

The original post was obviously not intended to be offensive in any way at all.

I find racism abhorrent, but the OP was not being racist, at all.

You're projecting racism onto him, then becoming offended, then ranting about it. That was your choice.

I understand that.

It's really not about the ethnic prejudice, it's the fact that somebody would type up whatever they could, without thinking of the consequences or other people. Not only that, but causing emotional distress and taking no responsibility for their actions. It's not "offense" when you're objecting towards Hitlers view on the people with special needs. It's a just cause.

I see that other people from the UK see no problem with what's been said, that's fine but recently, I've seen how that attitude can affect people (in other matters, outside the forum). I was debating with some guy on the side channel once.... He was in a tight spot, I told him that the debate was over and i no longer respect his opinion... He presumed i was from the USA. After that, I dug him into a hole, called him a dick and he had nothing to say afterwards. He accepted that he was a dick whilst my american friend watched.

You didn't mention the special needs factor either which is something nobody would touch on, i understand. Not many people understand that. So the logical thing to do, is accept that you have no experience in the matter, apologise for whatever grievance caused and move on with a better understanding of the people you live with.

Stephen Fry understands that. It's not offense, it's pain of an emotional level, It's not for my own benefit, being here, telling you, how you are making people with special needs feel like zombies, it's not for my benefit. TBH, I'm struck by how I've had to defend this. It's not like we're talking about politics or religion, we're talking about a persons life, a life which has been struck with misfortune.

The day you face a person laying on a hospital bed, saying: "LOL you look like a zombie" Is the day where logic dies and the meek inherit the earth.

(EDIT: The first Sport Relief show was presented by Gary Lineker, Ulrika Jonsson, Jamie Theakston and Clare Balding and included Stephen Fry.)

Sports relief is something that many people do, celebrities included. It helps raise funds for those with "Special Needs"

Final thought: This is just a guide for new players, or an update for things that amateurs may have missed. That's fine, but read previous topics and make sure you're not repeating the same old crap that everyone already knows. Why on earth this person used ethnic prejudice and compared zombies to people with Special Needs is beyond me, but such things have no place in a guide for new players.

Which makes me think that this guys has so much ethnic prejudice and callousnes that he cannot even make a guide for new players, without showing his true colors.

Hehe Gamer for life. And you're right. If I'd never played video games in my whole life.... and played what I've listed in 1 straight session, it would be me, playing video games for a whole year , no breaks, no sleep, non-stop. Maybe more, who knows?

People spent their whole lives praying to certain gods, don't they? Obeying certain rules.

Monks spend their lives seeking enlightenment.

Heck, some people kill themselves for certain causes.

There are thousands of people out there dedicating their lives to surreal things.

I'm just here, playing video games.... whats the big deal? lol

Edit: I just copied that off my facebook page. It needs some serious updating. SERIOUSLY. So many games not listed there that I've enjoyed/completed since i made it.

It is. Not a conscious one, but still. The decision not to think about the world and just take everything mami told you as a toddler for granted, is a choice.

People who are too stupid to realize, that nothing another person can say, can have the power to hurt them, unless they want it to hurt them, deserve to get the lesson.

As long as there are people offended, there was a good reason to say it. If there is no one offended, why the hell would you even bother to open your mouth?

I get offended by people being offended. So don't be offended or you offend me!

Derailing what thread? like i said, it's hardly a thread worthy of anything. It's flawed, it's just some guy looking for points.

You sicken me, I reported the thread, that is more than a PM and i stated my thoughts perfectly. If a PM won't do shit then what will a legit report do? Or PM? lets face it... even if i PM'd you, we'd be in the same position.

Oh dear, that was very predictable of you.

I've read the thread in full. I can't help help that you've chosen to be offended. Anyone that spends any time here will know that I/we don't tolerate racism here on the forums. I too have close links to someone with special needs but I'm certainly not about to get involved in a public debate about this with you, in the original post there is quite simply nothing offensive there as has already been explained.

[ActionManZlt 160]

...

No. Get off the Internet.

It's obvious that no offence was intended.

The grown up thing to do is just grow a damned sense of humour and chuckle away your accusations of ignorance, instead of derailing the thread for page after page. No one cares that you're offended. You're being a damn child, screaming out that someone hurt your feelings and demanding an apology when it's obvious that no one meant to hurt you, and that it's irrational for you to be hurt right now. The persona of internet sites like this is that of a nonchalant teenager -- you're not going to get your apology, you're going to get a "cool story, bro" at best, and just have more people laugh at your lack of ability to get along with people that grate on you, and probably have a few people try and make fun out of you, because you're an obvious target for being wound up by trolls (assuming you're not trolling us with all this fake offense to begin with...)

Describing a fictional character from your mind as having a specific accent is not racism. It's absolutely crazy for you to be making that accusation.

If zombies were people, they would be "special needs" - they're freaking half brain dead. Their pathfinding / AI in the current implementation is also... quite lacking... Yes, comparing bad path-finding to the behaviour of a disabled person is very insensitive -- you would never walk up to a stranger in a wheelchair and mock his ability to walk -- but comparing the walking abilities of a fictional zombie to a (non-specific) disabled person is simple just black humour. It's not making a joke out of anyone.

Yes, calling someone 'retarded' or 'spastic' shows an ignorance of and insensitivity towards people that actually have those conditions, just as calling bad things "gay" is ignorant/insensitive to homosexuals... but if we all went on a multi-page rant whenever someone mis-used "retarded" or "gay" as a synonym for "bad" on the Internet then 99% of the Internet would be made up of stupid complaints like yours. Instead, we just grow a sense of humour and/or get over it. Also, I have a gay friend that also use this manner of speech (calling bad things "gay") and an acquaintance with cerebral palsy that calls stupid things "retarded" (despite ignorant people often calling him "retarded").

These people are well adjusted, unlike yourself. You think you're being a nice guy by getting offended on behalf of others, but for all you know, these other people are capable of having a chuckle, making your ruckus completely pointless, which makes you a bad person. You are bad and wrong. Badong.

I get offended by people being offended. So don't be offended or you offend me!

I too am very offended by people that get overly offended for irrational reasons. I'd appreciate if DaveZ would apologize for upsetting us. Edited April 1, 2013 by ActionMan

You obviously don't have a sister who is being compared to a zombie.

I was comparing a zombie to your sister, to be accurate :)

I have a video using flares in combat and comment on the use of them/how to, let me know if you make the thread, i use them all the time, no jokes, i love them....im so sad i have never found a M203 Flare AND an M203. Its my end game dream :) pretty lights

The M203 flare isn't like the road flare; it doesn't sit and burn for 10 minutes. It's more like making a light show, if the light burned out almost immediately. You might as well have a bunch of flare slugs in your shotgun. They're pretty, but pointless :)

I don't have a problem with those accents... but I've had a problem with every talkative Australian I've met. I try to stay away from those guys.

I know exactly how you feel. I've never met a German, Russian, or Australian player that didn't shoot at me at some point.
