If stating sexuality is a bad idea because of homophobia, then perhaps i should paint myself white because of racism, or deny my parents are muslims because of Islamophobia. This man has a "problem" with people verbalising their sexual identity- personally i don't consider including your sexual identity in a user name a form of "shouting it out." This just another "keep it in the bedroom" closet bigot who can't contemplate the truth that sexuality may be about more than who people sleep with.
There is a need for censorship of the public word. Threats, inciting violence and intolerance has no room in a civilised discussion. Powerful ideas don't spring up from small groups, they emerge from the meeting of cultures and thoughts. I can't simply just tolerate but ignore anything I might dislike, that would lead to stagnation and crystallisation. In a civilisation, you can't live as an isolated tribe. At some point, you have to acknowledge that you are dependent on an organic structure.
It's an interesting question. Does this mean I have to keep my liking of girls (as a male) hidden when playing? Can I mention my religion (none, atheist)? It might void conflicts, but it also halts open discussion. It's too easy on the Internet to find your own island of like-minded individuals and sit out your existance, confirming the worldview you have. The human experience lies in the meeting with the other. Is an expression of love such an irritant that it needs to be purged?
looking at it your way, what has anything about you got to do with gaming?
why should you be allowed to say if you're male or female? all that tells people is whether your sexual organs are on the inside or the outside, nothing to do with gaming.
it doesn't matter what tv shows you like, or what sports team you support, in fact why should any aspect of your personality be represented in your online identity?
it's funny how it's always that aspect that people find offensive
@Blunty3000 Whilst the grabbing thing is inappropriate, making a move on a guy in a non-gay-centric environment is often a big step up for gay people in terms of self-respect and whatnot. Whilst it's annoying, and somewhat inappropriate... Let them down gently?
@1Beth11 Because it's irrelevant information considering the activity you're taking part in, and it's only effect is that of conflict. If it comes up in conversation, it's all good, but stating in your profile is just idiocy.
People who tells others about their sexuality in the net is a attention hoe. Do that in a dating site not in a video game! Serves this attention hoes right
@ShadowXRougeXEver Fair enough, but if Microsoft didn't put it there a lot more of the astoundingly-so-openly-not-straight-at-all-and-totally-homosexual bastards that can't keep it shut about their sexuality would be parading around Live and Microsoft would have to deal with dozens of complaints a day.
@Altmaster It's kind of irrelevant because some people do. And of course when they are talking to each other their race, religion, gender, sexuality, politics, nationality become apparent over time. Often right away. So why would it make a difference if it was in the CV or profile or not?
@regemo Few people do. Companies certainly do not ask for it (in fact, doing do would probably engender discrimination, but that's another matter).
My point is that gender, sexuality, etc, have been deemed to not be part of the workplace in modern society. It might be water-cooler talk, but it's not an integral part of whether you can do your job or not.
Yet you're insisting that these matters are an inseperable part of a person, so much so that they apparently belong on a gamercard...
@Altmaster In an ideal world that would just great. In an ideal world... There are two huge problems. First gaming is social and layed back, not a professional environment. Second, the gaming community tolerates a huge amount of homophobia and racism, more than any work environment I've been in.
For those reasons I think it's even more important for individuals to state who they area and not "hide it" for the people that think it's "in their face."
@regemo There's no middle ground in our opinions, it appears. I steadfastly believe that factors like sexuality and race do not define who a person is, and they certainly bear no relevance to gaming as a hobby. Suggesting otherwise, in my opinion, only serves to fuel the very things you're concerned about.
@Altmaster Being other than the default or dominant culture tends to open up an additional subculture for you. For kids whether its race, sexual orientation, gender, or religion, The additional subculture contains music, celebrities, movies, political issues, cultural icons, and more. Only for that particular subculture, not as accepted by mainstream culture. These things change the people who are a part of that subculture.
So I think race, sexual orientation, gender can define people somewhat.
@regemo At the heart of it, saying that factors like one's sexuality are so integral and self-defining that they need to be displayed in every corner of one's life is also to suggest that it is possible to make judgments about people based on these factors. A legitimisation of stereotypes.
Video doesn't make sense. Your sexuality determines your mate, people who are a inseparable part of who you are, and your children.
What she did is equivalent to:
If today people were a lot more racist. And a black guy with an urban accent logs on and is harassed because people can hear that he is black. So he puts in his profile "I'm 25, black, from boston." It makes sense that he would state it outright. Than be ashamed of it? lol Or try to hide it??!
@regemo I don't say I'm white. Why would he need to say he's black? It's a friggin gamer profile. It should tell me what sort of games he likes. I don't care about his eye color or his skin color. It's not about whether someone is "hiding" it, because it doesn't belong there to begin with.
And no, your sexuality does not determine all those things you listed. It just determines the gender of those you're sexually attracted to. "Who supports you" is a much more specific matter.
@Altmaster If, I said IF people today were a lot more racist. At a level equivalent to where homophobia is at today.
Yes today if you are a straight white male then you probably won't put your race in your profile. Because straight white male is the default, it's the expectation.
I'm sorry you're wrong, sexuality does determine your mate. And your mate is not just "somebody who you screw." Am I pushing my sexuality in your face when I talk about my mate? Sad, very sad.
@regemo I'm sad that you're so obsessed with factors like race and sexuality that you really can't see past them in the context of video games. If there was ever a place where things like this could just be left on the sidelines, you'd think that would be it. Unfortunately, people like you are insistent on championing minority victim complexes everywhere they go.
"Am I pushing my sexuality in your face when I talk about my mate?" NO. EXACTLY. So why do you want to push your sexuality alone?
@Altmaster I don't think I'm obsessed with factors of race and sexuality. But when I see that something is wrong I will definitely point it out. Sorry, I'm not one of those people who stands in the room with the racist guy telling a racist joke and then awkwardly nervously laughs at the punchline.
And gaming is most certainly not free from prejudice. If anything because of the internet people feel free to be even more asshat-ish then they are in real life.
@Altmaster "So why do you want to push your sexuality..." That is the exact point! Stating who you are as a person is NOT pushing anything on anyone lol.
If I choose an xbox live name like TheAsianGamer or TheBlackNerd, that is NOT pushing race on people. It's simply a description. Yet when a woman puts lesbian in her profile a whacko says she is pushing her sexuality. wtf
Again... sexuality is not "just who you screw." There is more to it than that, just listen to the average conversation
You know if you had only said that "it is not important to have that in your profile" I would agree with you 100%. But that could be said of a person that puts "Christanboy" as a profile. Both are however part of who you are. Part of what you are. Just not all of it. I agree those that get one identifier and then start screaming it are the problem. But it is not the gay part or the Religion part or the race part. It is the part of screaming out of context info that is the point. There we agree.
If you want to advertise your sexuality in the public, go do that in a dating site, not in a video game! I don't see a reason to do that except for attention. He'll I don't go around telling people what my sexual orientation is, it's a nonsense waste of time lol. That's what you get looking for attention and violating rules.
There are thousand of Xbox Live users who violate the TOS but they don't get banned. Face it, she broke the rules, but they banned her because of her sexuality not because of the rules she broke - it's easier to ban her than the average potty mouthed 12 yo retards on there because lesbians aren't exactly a huge source of revenue for Xbawks. I agree that people who take the gay identity bullshit seriously are assholes, but Xbox Live and Microsoft don't care how you behave on Live.
I've never heard a more ignorant statement in my life.
"Has nothing to do with who you are"
That's when I stopped the video. Sexuality is a KEY part of who you are. It's not a trivial fact like hair or eye color, it defines your personality, especially if you're part of a persecuted group.
@Jonmad17 If you allow your personality to be "defined" merely by who you fuck I feel a great pity for you that you've nothing else about you that you think makes you who you are. Very sad indeed.It *IS* like your hair colour, it's not a choice you've made, it's not something you've worked to be, it's not something you've built up over years, it's not anything you've done or based of any experience you've had... it's just a preference for who you get naked with
@Blunty3000 Here's the thing, humans are sexual by nature (it's our biological imperative) so sexuality is often a defining characteristic (more so than incidental things like hair color). But In a way this argument is irrelevant, the point of a player profile, as the name implies, is to describe yourself. I constantly see location and interests posted in that box, so shouldn't sexuality be allowed? I highly doubt me posting "I'm Straight!" in that field would be considered an issue.
if someone advertised that they were straight it'd be equally stupid. if someone on xbox live has in their description i am a straight gamer people would think he was just as retarded as this girl who thinks its necessary to advertise her sexuality.
@Blunty3000 You're making the mistake of thinking that sexuality is "just a preference for who you get naked with." It's about who supports you, someone who is your partner.
When people are having a conversation, making comments assuming you are straight then it's a slap in the face to your partner to not correct them. It's like in these situations people go "Oh no please don't remind us that you have a partner of the same sex. It makes us uncomfortable. Lets just pretend everyone is straight"
@Blunty3000 Well said! Jonmad17 is a fkn idiot. Gay or not, it doesn't make you who you are and there's no reason to be "oh yea I'm gay" on fkn xbox live...come on play the game and shut up.
@Blunty3000 As a social anthropology student, I'll have you know that most of the research on the planet disagrees with you. It is in fact quite drastically important to a lot of people what sexuality they have as it helps define themselves. This stems back to our need to categorize which again is our entire framework for perceiving ourselves. There's a need to label things in a variety of ways, which is why this video has tags.
That being said, was it a tactical move of her? No. Was she in the wrong to express completly normal cultural behaviour of identifying yourself? I think not. An interesting question for debate is whether or not Microsoft and other policymakers with such influence on their own communities should rethink their model of one-size-fits-all for a network of people of different backgrounds. I can promise you that a member of the Yir Yoront and yourself would disagree on many matters of identification.
@Jonmad17 Defining your personality by who you fuck is just retarded. If a straight guy defined himself with 'I fuck women' is retarded. You'll probably knock me as discriminate, so I'll get something preemptive on you. I'm bisexual. Most people do not give a shit.
She's being who she is! Let's hate her for it! If I said " I often play Halo with my girlfriend" it would have been perfectly acceptable. The point of a player profile is to give some fact pertaining to who you are. And being a lesbian would probably be a major fact about oneself.
by putting lesbian in a gamer tag its not rubbing it in peoples faces.im a lesbian and i have lesbian in my gamertag just because i dont want anyone to think im straight im proud to be gay so get over!
Agreed. If you don't follow the ToS, you just get kicked. Joke apart: who in hell reads those looooooong text before starting to play? most gamers are so anxious to play that don't check ToS out XD
Putting it on her gamer profile did have little meaning, yes. The constant pointless advertisement of some homosexual's sexuality can be quite annoying. However, I wonder if the account would of been banned should she of put "straight". If we all don't care about each others sexuality, why the hell do we have to shut down some one's account just when they make it clear that they have one?
I wonder if would be banned if I put "straight" in my user name. Lesbian is not an offensive word and I don't think this woman was trying to put herself "out there", I think she wanted to meet other queer people. She's trying to reach out to her community, not to YOU.
One more thing too. She could have meant it as a warning. Maybe she would be talking with a girlfriend whilst playing a game on x-box live and some homophobe didn't know so he got all pissed and shit. You honestly don't know what was going through her mind as she was doing her profile. And it is important for homosexuals to state this fact in certain places because not many people are the way we are. So we want to be proud of it. Freedom of speech mothahfuckah.... and it's not all about sex.
I agree that it might have been better for her to leave it, but just the fact that it even matters to the company so much that they want to ban her from the game is a peice of shit. If someone had a problem with it, they could have asked her to take it off. Or left her alone.
Um. Yeah, you obviously don't understand what it means to be homosexual. Thats why its called a LIFESTYLE. Thanks, and its not all about sex. The sexuality of someone does matter to them. if you listen to the amount of people on x-box who call each other a fag or whatever, then chances are that one of them will be like, "No way, I'm a stupid gay pussy! I'm so straight I fucked your girlfriend last night!" Or something equally as shitty.
1st off, why is it always the smartasses supporting gays >_> no i dont hate gays, but i hate the SAME boreng ass people supporting them. No im not mature, and im proud :D YAY FOR NOT BEING BOREING!!!
I completely agree with you. I have gay cousins, and a gay uncle. But they don't run around yelling the fact out.-- BAH! HORSEFLY! (Flails)-- Anyway, if they're asked, they'll tell. But they don't go around shouting it to the world and...Posting it on gamer profiles. XD
@jungleman68 So? I put that I am lesbian in most of my profiles. That way when a GUY randomly hits on me, all I have to do is say "Uh look at my profile"
Besides that fact, there are a whole host of questions I get, when someone finds out I have a girlfriend. Generally they are all "YOU ARE A MAN!?" of course in real life this wouldn't be an issue.
But it is an issue here, and I dislike being called a man online by some random, as most people like to be called the gender that they are.
@mewimi did you boycott avatar? cause you're getting pissy without understanding what i'm saying. of course you watch anime. then you become emotional trying to copy everything you see on it. go cry somewhere else. you're the one who can't see past your own ego and feel the need to defend yourself against anything that vaguely seems like criticism. you're almost 30. grow up. like everyone else, you're almost never right.
@jungleman68 I never saw "Avatar" and I fail to see what that has to do with this. I am also by far not emotional, I see this stuff everyday. You think I'd be on the internet, if I haven't developed a certain level of emotional stability?
I am almost 30? I am 25, I wouldn't call that "almost" my age, again, has nothing to do with this. Like everyone else? I am almost never right? What the hell? My complaints about this ludicrous video are completely valid, this person hasn't a clue
@jungleman68 Ah, that is the kind of comment I expect from a bigoted un-understanding egotist. You know how many times I've been called an "Attention Whore" for correcting people when they called me a man? More times than I could count.
Drop your male elitist gamer mentality/troll mentality and be more understanding.
@jungleman68 you don't like someone saying they are lesbian, in a profile? Get over yourself, it has nothing to do with you.
I read every single word you have said. Saying that I have not read what you said, does not actually invalidate everything that I have said. Especially, when you have no evidence to back it up.
@mewimi "look at me I have to be known on the internet. Heres my salary, heres my orientation, heres my address, don't you dare mistake me for something else like a man or else it ruins my whole internet experience.
I bet you start every conversation with "yeah I'm a LESBIAN so I have a girlfriend. Don't hit on me silly boys!"
@iLoveOrangutans Yeah, here we go, another male spouting off his mouth, ranting about how females don't exist on the internets. What are you 11? You certainly have the mentality of a homophobic knowitnothing.
@iLoveOrangutans The fact that you keep calling me out as a "faggot" really shows your obvious hatred toward people who are homosexual. I will be as open as I want, simply being open about who I am, does not mean it is the right of you and or others to discriminate.
I'm not going to hide,because you have a problem with me being lesbian
You make one assumption after another, and address me in such a disrespectful tone, I find it difficult to even talk to you with an ounce of respect.
@mewimi I went back and read your comments, and it seems you're argument is based mainly on the fact that displaying you're sexual orientation on Xbox live is a way of finding people you can relate with. So what you're really saying is that you (and other gays) can't relate with people who are straight? It's like saying I have blue eyes, so Im automatically going to enjoy playing games with people who also have blue eyes.
@VivalahelvigX *continued* Like Blunty said, your sexual preferences have nothing to do with what youre doing on xbox live, and what your personality is. Gays and straights can share interests/be friends just the same as anyone else can. The simple fact that youre gay/straight/black/white/yellow/pink or blue gives zero indication of what youre like to be around, and what kind of person you are. A person who is gay can be a complete dipshit, and a person who is straight can be a complete dipshit.
@VivalahelvigX *continued prt 2*You dont need to advertise your sexuality in place like xbox live to find good people to play with. The reason why Microsoft banned the lesbian gamer is because she put something on her profile, name, whatever, that unnecessarily brought about conflict. Its a sad truth, but youre always going to have people hate on you for the simple fact that youre gay, or as is also often the case, a woman, or ethnic.
@VivalahelvigX *prt 3* There are a lot of narrow-minded assholes in the world, and the internet has an abundance of them. Broadcasting the fact that youre gay will only draw the trolls to you like a magnet. The truth is, minorities, particularly on the internet, will always receive hate by those aforementioned bigots. You can protest, fight against it all you want, but theres always going to be people like that.
@VivalahelvigX *prt 4* What Blunty said is completely reasonable, and not blatant hate and homophobia like you make it sound. The lesbian gamer chose to ignore completely rational rules, and paid for it. And by that, I also think she was an idiot. Blunty was not slamming her for being gay, in no way was he doing that. He was criticizing her for blatantly disregarding the rules.
@VivalahelvigX *prt 5* I also dont understand how was he defending anti-gay slurs? I really dont follow you there. Neither do I see how he was making a huge rant video against the gays. Youre rushing in to defend against an attack that doesnt exist.
@VivalahelvigX Viva, no there is no problem playing games with straight people. That isn't the problem. The problem is the discrimination we face. And we like to be in a friendly non bigoted atmosphere. Whether you want to fool yourself into believing that we aren't discriminated against on a daily basis, is your problem not mine.
Giving that it is so common, we aren't trying to draw them to us, by hiding. We are trying to find friends to relate with, that WILL RESPECT US.
@mewimi "Part2", I also find it ironic, how all these straight people are coming in, and telling us how it is like, and how "we should act"
Don't you find that a bit suspicious? Like maybe there is infact hatred toward us? Who cares if we are saying we are "lesbian" in a profile? I mean, who does it truly effect? Not the lesbian, who is a lesbian, but the bigots, who don't want to see us "gays" playing games with them.
It is like DADT ( don't ask don't tell ) military policy.
@iLoveOrangutans That "Attention Whore" comment will only get you so far. You have absolutely no evidence to back up your claim. For starters, you don't even know me, or that other person, yet are judging them based on a few paragraphs. Ironic.
Fortunately for me, I can make a clear determination that you have absolutely no respect for the opposite gender, and like to sit around spending your days pretending to know what it's like to be a girl in a world filled with sexist males.
he didnt make fun of her for being gay.. he gave his opinion on an issue. Issue in point being that you dont need to flaunt your sexuality in places it ought to not be flaunted! It's that easy. XBL has rules against it to protect people. When you sign up for it you have to follow the rules or suffer the consequence.
Lastly, Lets keep in mind that when we are open about who we are. We are also able to help reduce harassment, anti-gay slurs because there are those who know we actually exist in-game.
Yes being one of "The gays" isn't a large portion of who we are, but remember we are discriminated against on a daily basis for that insignificant, seemingly superficial part. That is why we need to be out, that is why we need to relate, that is how we can stop the discrimination, real, game or otherwise.
Aside from his obvious phobia, I'll point out that when playing online games. You want to find those who you can relate with. Yes, the very fact that there are homophobic slurs would mean someone WANTS to find people they can relate with.
Now, giving this fact, keep in mind that we in no way are looking for a "sexual" relationship with someone online. And being one of "The gays" has very little to do with sex.
We merely want a comfortable atmosphere with those we can relate with.
@mewimi "you don't know what its like, man. Its hard being gay, I always have to talk about it. If people don't know I'm gay then I just can't have that!"
You don't see guys saying they are heterosexual on their profile do you? If someone got banned for that you wouldn't even care.
@iLoveOrangutans Being heterosexual, doesn't make you the target of hate. Finding others you can have common ground with, generally makes playing games more friendly and better all around.
Also, if you'd get your head out of the clouds, you'd realize that we ARE discriminated against. Go to google and type "gay person killed" or "lesbian raped" and you'll see exactly just how hateful people are. Sorry but being lesbian or gay, doesn't mean we should be harassed by morons like you.
@mewimi you're discriminated against because you keep telling people you're gay. Try keeping it a secret next time.
As for 'common ground' that's the dumbest fucking I ever heard. Man you're dumb. "Hey we all have red hair lets play together since he have common ground!!" Play with everyone you faggot, the fact that you prefer to play with gays makes you a hypocrite.
son't reply, you seem to be a troll, I already on anyways.
This guy is a moron, he pretends he knows what it is like. He is a bigot, regardless of his claims that he has "no problem with the gays"
But clearly, anyone who goes out of their way to defend anti-gay slurs, then make fun of a lesbian gamer, as well as make a huge rant video against "the gays" has an obvious problem with... "the gays."
Wtf? It's Xbox Live, maybe a couple of you should take the time to read the EULA agreement, it's for online gaming, period. I'm surprised they even made Avatars.....
it blocked me from saying im gay in my motto but not in my bio...... i realy dont think this stuff is realy a big deal, yeah im gay and ur not but u make fun of me..... im a type 1 diabetic and ur not but u dont make fun of me for that??? wtf, why would u make fun of someone jusy because of who they are, if ur gay and have live message me on here and il send u my new gamertag
I think you should be questioning why sexuality isn't allowed on XBox profiles and why homophobia is so rampant, rather than 'QQ, her fault she broken teh rules!'
well i for one am a person who think the way one practices the art of good old fighting and competition being in real life or video games is more important then saxuality, i couldn't care less if i was gay or straight as long as you'd let me stand in a battlefield, being real or virtual.
I like to think that some fellow homosexuals like to announce their sexuality in such a way because america has turned gays into the minority, and since it's different from the norm, it's important to know about a person. Of course they're not helping our cause by displacing themselves from the norm, but it's not really their faults. It's how we were raised.
I agree, there is a time and place for everything. And X-box live is kind of not the place to discuss sexuality. If someone wants to associate with gay people then there are plenty of clans and guilds that are GLBT friendly and they can discuss it on their forums or vent servers and not discuss it in game where it will probably get negative attention.
hey blunty3000 great video bro i loved it keep it up you are so right about this video you made straight ppl 4 life homes and of course lesbians are pretty hot lol
Well. I dont think she played 360/live for the games, think about a guys dream/fantasy?
girls
lezzbians
video games
porn
she covered it, she likes the attention. she failed to get a man/women in life so turned to what guys like... girls, lezzbians, porn, video games.. etc...
and i totally agree that your sexuality is not who u are. it dosnt chnage the typea person you are, i completly agree.
Then how come everyone are fagots about it? and mock them?
I agree 100% with him, and many respectable homosexuals do as well, people insecure about there sexuality have to brag about, advertize everywhere they go etc...
Looks like this guy likes to go to gay bars to get his ego stroked and maby is a closet-case haha
Actually, I've never been to a gay-bar, any attention I've gotten from homosexuals has always been in "normal" bars. Yes it's an ego stroke, No I don't actively seek it.
I know what you mean. I once had a problem with an apparent "lesbian" once. I asked this gamer who happened to be a girl (although that wasn't the reason) if she wanted to be my friend on Xbox Live (I asked her because I had actually played a good number of games with her and she was a good gamer). And then she said no, because she was a lesbian. So, I thought "ok, whatever"", but then she started hammering it into my skull by sending me messages saying that I was being a typical "male".
@Blunty3000 You know what would be great Blunty3000, is if you actually had a clue on the subject you were talking about. Putting "lesbian" on a profile, has nothing to do with you, or even microsoft. It is their business, and their right to put it there.
Lets join reality, this is discrimination, no way in hell would Microsoft ban someone for putting that they are "straight" in their profile.
Go do some research, before you start spouting off your mouth like a homophobe.
@mewimi It has everything to do with microsoft because, get this.
ITS THEIR SERVICE. Follow their rules or get the fuck off. And they WOULD ban somone for putting 'I'm straight" on their profile, you're just a retarded fag (literally) for not knowing that.
@iLoveOrangutans Actually, believe it or not. Most states have laws preventing corporations and other various organizations ( including the government ) from forcing people from being open about their sexual orientation.
Oh look, you just called me a "fag" because I am against this nonsense, and you are being a troll.
Dude that's ridiculous, "lesbian" is not a "dirty word" and you sound 100% intolerant. I'm as straight as the day is long, so don't even bring that up, but isn't YOUR sexuality a big part of who you are?
Wow, that's mature. Your very obviously a homophobe, so if someone mistook you as a homosexual at a bar, your telling me that it wouldn't bother you? I think you would be indignant, angry and probably violent. You sound like a man who is insecure in his sexuality, and you need help.
Sexuality is important to everyone, it's not a label, but it is an important part of who we are. And I know flamers can be annoying at times, but there are more mature ways to handle this then posting a whiny video
I've been approached many times at bars and such by gay blokes..., and no, it's never bothered me in the least, nor have I ever reacted "angry" much less "violent" when it's happened, quite the opposite, it's flattering, I actually enjoy telling the stories of a couple particularly amusing interactions. Even had a few drink with one or two of 'em.
your opinion is easily suported by me blunty. I have to say that i enjoy your videos, your humour, topics you chose to talk about are interesting and I hope you continue with your enthusiasm to make your videos. keep doing what you do blunty!!. and i'm not gay. I just find this video a hilarious topic. :)
@Blunty3000 I pity you, whom can't see passed his own ego, to understand that there are those that are different, and want to seek others that are different like them. It is not about "dating someone online" it is merely finding common ground, and things to talk about, and it isn't about sex either.
Lets get real, Microsoft wouldn't ban someone for putting "I am straight" on their profile, join reality. This is purely discrimination.
so wait she gets banned just to add in her profile that shes gay? is this such a big deal man why freaking out about it next time they should just give optional select to the information you wanna hear and dont wanna hear it will remove confusion seriously i personaly think that was completely dumb to ban her.
Well that girl was preety dumb for doing that because it do say you would get banned for it. and people i dont care if they're gay or not as long as they dont try to make any moves toward me im cool with them. being gay is like having a diffrent personality.
Oh yeah?...well I don't mind if you're straight, just don't go flaunting it in public.

If stating sexuality is a bad idea because of homophobia, then perhaps i should paint myself white because of racism, or deny my parents are muslims because of Islamophobia. This man has a "problem" with people verbalising their sexual identity- personally i don't consider including your sexual identity in a user name a form of "shouting it out." This just another "keep it in the bedroom" closet bigot who can't contemplate the truth that sexuality may be about more than who people sleep with.

There is a need for censorship of the public word. Threats, inciting violence and intolerance has no room in a civilised discussion. Powerful ideas don't spring up from small groups, they emerge from the meeting of cultures and thoughts. I can't simply just tolerate but ignore anything I might dislike, that would lead to stagnation and crystallisation. In a civilisation, you can't live as an isolated tribe. At some point, you have to acknowledge that you are dependent on an organic structure.

It's an interesting question. Does this mean I have to keep my liking of girls (as a male) hidden when playing? Can I mention my religion (none, atheist)? It might void conflicts, but it also halts open discussion. It's too easy on the Internet to find your own island of like-minded individuals and sit out your existance, confirming the worldview you have. The human experience lies in the meeting with the other. Is an expression of love such an irritant that it needs to be purged?

looking at it your way, what has anything about you got to do with gaming?
why should you be allowed to say if you're male or female? all that tells people is whether your sexual organs are on the inside or the outside, nothing to do with gaming.
it doesn't matter what tv shows you like, or what sports team you support, in fact why should any aspect of your personality be represented in your online identity?
it's funny how it's always that aspect that people find offensive

@Blunty3000 Whilst the grabbing thing is inappropriate, making a move on a guy in a non-gay-centric environment is often a big step up for gay people in terms of self-respect and whatnot. Whilst it's annoying, and somewhat inappropriate... Let them down gently?

@regemo Question. Do you put your race, religion, and sexuality in your CV?
Altmaster 1 year ago
@Altmaster It's kind of irrelevant because some people do. And of course when they are talking to each other their race, religion, gender, sexuality, politics, nationality become apparent over time. Often right away. So why would it make a difference if it was in the CV or profile or not?
regemo 1 year ago
@regemo Few people do. Companies certainly do not ask for it (in fact, doing do would probably engender discrimination, but that's another matter).
My point is that gender, sexuality, etc, have been deemed to not be part of the workplace in modern society. It might be water-cooler talk, but it's not an integral part of whether you can do your job or not.
Yet you're insisting that these matters are an inseperable part of a person, so much so that they apparently belong on a gamercard...
Altmaster 1 year ago
@Altmaster In an ideal world that would just great. In an ideal world... There are two huge problems. First gaming is social and layed back, not a professional environment. Second, the gaming community tolerates a huge amount of homophobia and racism, more than any work environment I've been in.
For those reasons I think it's even more important for individuals to state who they area and not "hide it" for the people that think it's "in their face."
regemo 1 year ago
@regemo There's no middle ground in our opinions, it appears. I steadfastly believe that factors like sexuality and race do not define who a person is, and they certainly bear no relevance to gaming as a hobby. Suggesting otherwise, in my opinion, only serves to fuel the very things you're concerned about.
Altmaster 1 year ago
@Altmaster Being other than the default or dominant culture tends to open up an additional subculture for you. For kids whether its race, sexual orientation, gender, or religion, The additional subculture contains music, celebrities, movies, political issues, cultural icons, and more. Only for that particular subculture, not as accepted by mainstream culture. These things change the people who are a part of that subculture.
So I think race, sexual orientation, gender can define people somewhat.
regemo 1 year ago
@regemo At the heart of it, saying that factors like one's sexuality are so integral and self-defining that they need to be displayed in every corner of one's life is also to suggest that it is possible to make judgments about people based on these factors. A legitimisation of stereotypes.
Altmaster 1 year ago
Video doesn't make sense. Your sexuality determines your mate, people who are a inseparable part of who you are, and your children.
What she did is equivalent to:
If today people were a lot more racist. And a black guy with an urban accent logs on and is harassed because people can hear that he is black. So he puts in his profile "I'm 25, black, from boston." It makes sense that he would state it outright. Than be ashamed of it? lol Or try to hide it??!
The exact same with sexuality.
regemo 1 year ago
@regemo I don't say I'm white. Why would he need to say he's black? It's a friggin gamer profile. It should tell me what sort of games he likes. I don't care about his eye color or his skin color. It's not about whether someone is "hiding" it, because it doesn't belong there to begin with.
And no, your sexuality does not determine all those things you listed. It just determines the gender of those you're sexually attracted to. "Who supports you" is a much more specific matter.
Altmaster 1 year ago
@Altmaster If, I said IF people today were a lot more racist. At a level equivalent to where homophobia is at today.
Yes today if you are a straight white male then you probably won't put your race in your profile. Because straight white male is the default, it's the expectation.
I'm sorry you're wrong, sexuality does determine your mate. And your mate is not just "somebody who you screw." Am I pushing my sexuality in your face when I talk about my mate? Sad, very sad.

@regemo I'm sad that you're so obsessed with factors like race and sexuality that you really can't see past them in the context of video games. If there was ever a place where things like this could just be left on the sidelines, you'd think that would be it. Unfortunately, people like you are insistent on championing minority victim complexes everywhere they go.
"Am I pushing my sexuality in your face when I talk about my mate?" NO. EXACTLY. So why do you want to push your sexuality alone?
Altmaster 1 year ago
@Altmaster I don't think I'm obsessed with factors of race and sexuality. But when I see that something is wrong I will definitely point it out. Sorry, I'm not one of those people who stands in the room with the racist guy telling a racist joke and then awkwardly nervously laughs at the punchline.
And gaming is most certainly not free from prejudice. If anything because of the internet people feel free to be even more asshat-ish then they are in real life.
regemo 1 year ago
@Altmaster "So why do you want to push your sexuality..." That is the exact point! Stating who you are as a person is NOT pushing anything on anyone lol.
If I choose an xbox live name like TheAsianGamer or TheBlackNerd, that is NOT pushing race on people. It's simply a description. Yet when a woman puts lesbian in her profile a whacko says she is pushing her sexuality. wtf
Again... sexuality is not "just who you screw." There is more to it than that, just listen to the average conversation

I've never heard a more ignorant statement in my life.
"Has nothing to do with who you are"
That's when I stopped the video. Sexuality is a KEY part of who you are. It's not a trivial fact like hair or eye color, it defines your personality, especially if you're part of a persecuted group.

Blunty3000 1 year ago
@Blunty3000 Here's the thing, humans are sexual by nature (it's our biological imperative) so sexuality is often a defining characteristic (more so than incidental things like hair color). But In a way this argument is irrelevant, the point of a player profile, as the name implies, is to describe yourself. I constantly see location and interests posted in that box, so shouldn't sexuality be allowed? I highly doubt me posting "I'm Straight!" in that field would be considered an issue.

@Blunty3000 You're making the mistake of thinking that sexuality is "just a preference for who you get naked with." It's about who supports you, someone who is your partner.
When people are having a conversation, making comments assuming you are straight then it's a slap in the face to your partner to not correct them. It's like in these situations people go "Oh no please don't remind us that you have a partner of the same sex. It makes us uncomfortable. Lets just pretend everyone is straight"

@Blunty3000 As a social anthropology student, I'll have you know that most of the research on the planet disagrees with you. It is in fact quite drastically important to a lot of people what sexuality they have as it helps define themselves. This stems back to our need to categorize which again is our entire framework for perceiving ourselves. There's a need to label things in a variety of ways, which is why this video has tags.

One more thing too. She could have meant it as a warning.

You honestly don't know what was going through her mind as she was doing her profile. And it is important for homosexuals to state this fact in certain places because not many people are the way we are. So we want to be proud of it. Freedom of speech mothahfuckah.... and it's not all about sex.

Um. Yeah, you obviously don't understand what it means to be homosexual. Thats why its called a LIFESTYLE. Thanks, and its not all about sex.

Lastly, Lets keep in mind that when we are open about who we are. We are also able to help reduce harassment, anti-gay slurs because there are those who know we actually exist in-game.
Yes being one of "The gays" isn't a large portion of who we are, but remember we are discriminated against on a daily basis for that insignificant, seemingly superficial part. That is why we need to be out, that is why we need to relate, that is how we can stop the discrimination, real, game or otherwise.

Aside from his obvious phobia, I'll point out that when playing online games. You want to find those who you can relate with. Yes, the very fact that there are homophobic slurs would mean someone WANTS to find people they can relate with.
Now, giving this fact, keep in mind that we in no way are looking for a "sexual" relationship with someone online. And being one of "The gays" has very little to do with sex.
We merely want a comfortable atmosphere with those we can relate with.

@mewimi "you don't know what its like, man. Its hard being gay, I always have to talk about it. If people don't know I'm gay then I just can't have that!"
You don't see guys saying they are heterosexual on their profile do you? If someone got banned for that you wouldn't even care.
iLoveOrangutans 1 year ago
@iLoveOrangutans Being heterosexual, doesn't make you the target of hate. Finding others you can have common ground with, generally makes playing games more friendly and better all around.
Also, if you'd get your head out of the clouds, you'd realize that we ARE discriminated against. Go to google and type "gay person killed" or "lesbian raped" and you'll see exactly just how hateful people are. Sorry but being lesbian or gay, doesn't mean we should be harassed by morons like you.
mewimi 1 year ago
@mewimi you're discriminated against because you keep telling people you're gay. Try keeping it a secret next time.
As for 'common ground' that's the dumbest fucking I ever heard. Man you're dumb. "Hey we all have red hair lets play together since he have common ground!!" Play with everyone you faggot, the fact that you prefer to play with gays makes you a hypocrite.
son't reply, you seem to be a troll, I already on anyways.

This guy is a moron, he pretends he knows what it is like. He is a bigot, regardless of his claims that he has "no problem with the gays"
But clearly, anyone who goes out of their way to defend anti-gay slurs, then make fun of a lesbian gamer, as well as make a huge rant video against "the gays" has an obvious problem with... "the gays."

Wtf? It's Xbox Live, maybe a couple of you should take the time to read the EULA agreement, it's for online gaming, period. I'm surprised they even made Avatars.....

I think you should be questioning why sexuality isn't allowed on XBox profiles and why homophobia is so rampant, rather than 'QQ, her fault she broken teh rules!'

well i for one am a person who think the way one practices the art of good old fighting and competition being in real life or video games is more important then saxuality, i couldn't care less if i was gay or straight as long as you'd let me stand in a battlefield, being real or virtual.

I like to think that some fellow homosexuals like to announce their sexuality in such a way because america has turned gays into the minority, and since it's different from the norm, it's important to know about a person. Of course they're not helping our cause by displacing themselves from the norm, but it's not really their faults. It's how we were raised.

I doubt she was Kicked out of lobbies for being a lesbo gamer :P
She probably got kicked for hacking, so she said it was an anti-homosexual thing to get her acc back.

I agree, there is a time and place for everything. And X-box live is kind of not the place to discuss sexuality. If someone wants to associate with gay people then there are plenty of clans and guilds that are GLBT friendly and they can discuss it on their forums or vent servers and not discuss it in game where it will probably get negative attention.

Well. I dont think she played 360/live for the games, think about a guys dream/fantasy?
girls
lezzbians
video games
porn
she covered it, she likes the attention. she failed to get a man/women in life so turned to what guys like... girls, lezzbians, porn, video games.. etc...
and i totally agree that your sexuality is not who u are. it dosnt chnage the typea person you are, i completly agree.
Then how come everyone are fagots about it? and mock them?

Actually, I've never been to a gay-bar, any attention I've gotten from homosexuals has always been in "normal" bars. Yes it's an ego stroke, No I don't actively seek it.

I know what you mean. I once had a problem with an apparent "lesbian" once. I asked this gamer who happened to be a girl (although that wasn't the reason) if she wanted to be my friend on Xbox Live (I asked her because I had actually played a good number of games with her and she was a good gamer). And then she said no, because she was a lesbian. So, I thought "ok, whatever"", but then she started hammering it into my skull by sending me messages saying that I was being a typical "male".

@Blunty3000 You know what would be great Blunty3000, is if you actually had a clue on the subject you were talking about. Putting "lesbian" on a profile, has nothing to do with you, or even microsoft. It is their business, and their right to put it there.
Lets join reality, this is discrimination, no way in hell would Microsoft ban someone for putting that they are "straight" in their profile.
Go do some research, before you start spouting off your mouth like a homophobe.
mewimi 1 year ago
@mewimi It has everything to do with microsoft because, get this.
ITS THEIR SERVICE. Follow their rules or get the fuck off. And they WOULD ban somone for putting 'I'm straight" on their profile, you're just a retarded fag (literally) for not knowing that.
iLoveOrangutans 1 year ago
@iLoveOrangutans Actually, believe it or not. Most states have laws preventing corporations and other various organizations ( including the government ) from forcing people from being open about their sexual orientation.
Oh look, you just called me a "fag" because I am against this nonsense, and you are being a troll.
mewimi 1 year ago
Dude that's ridiculous, "lesbian" is not a "dirty word" and you sound 100% intolerant. I'm as straight as the day is long, so don't even bring that up, but isn't YOUR sexuality a big part of who you are?
blinx182 2 years ago
No, my personal identity and self esteem/worth is in NO WAY tied to which gender I like to fuck. if YOURS is, I pity you very much.
Blunty3000 2 years ago
Wow, that's mature. Your very obviously a homophobe, so if someone mistook you as a homosexual at a bar, your telling me that it wouldn't bother you? I think you would be indignant, angry and probably violent. You sound like a man who is insecure in his sexuality, and you need help.
Sexuality is important to everyone, it's not a label, but it is an important part of who we are. And I know flamers can be annoying at times, but there are more mature ways to handle this then posting a whiny video
blinx182 2 years ago
I've been approached many times at bars and such by gay blokes..., and no, it's never bothered me in the least, nor have I ever reacted "angry" much less "violent" when it's happened, quite the opposite, it's flattering, I actually enjoy telling the stories of a couple particularly amusing interactions. Even had a few drink with one or two of 'em.

your opinion is easily suported by me blunty. I have to say that i enjoy your videos, your humour, topics you chose to talk about are interesting and I hope you continue with your enthusiasm to make your videos. keep doing what you do blunty!!. and i'm not gay. I just find this video a hilarious topic. :)

@Blunty3000 I pity you, whom can't see passed his own ego, to understand that there are those that are different, and want to seek others that are different like them. It is not about "dating someone online" it is merely finding common ground, and things to talk about, and it isn't about sex either.
Lets get real, Microsoft wouldn't ban someone for putting "I am straight" on their profile, join reality. This is purely discrimination.

so wait she gets banned just to add in her profile that shes gay? is this such a big deal man why freaking out about it next time they should just give optional select to the information you wanna hear and dont wanna hear it will remove confusion seriously i personaly think that was completely dumb to ban her.
