I don't get how people know someone is a girl when they play them?
A few people have thought I was a girl since my name is kez *short for Kerry, which unfortunately does happen generally be a girls name*, but eh.

I'm your typical white dude so I dont particularly know whats its like to be a minority but since I've been playing games my entire life on just about every competitive game there is I think people just need to grow a thicker skin? If anyone thinks sc2 is a harsh community they really should see what its like to play CS or dota/hon, now those are some really mean communities lol. Sc2 is pretty tame in my eyes, at least on sea and the relative low amount of games I play on NA.

Nor do I particularly think destiny is a "badboy" of sc2. If you actually listen to him he makes up logical well thought arguments generally in a well mannered way, and nor does he believe what he says is racist and his main argument is the same as everyone elses that people shouldnt take offense to language just because it may once have had racial connotations.



Lastly my $0.02 on the matter; If people keep making such a huge deal about whats racist/sexist/homophobic then that kinda only segregates them more? It's acknowledging that they are indeed different and should be treated differently and people need to watch what they say so intently as not to offend them because they're different ya know? Whilst I do agree that it's not nice when people do say these things and it might offend them and like I stated previously I have no idea whats it's like to be a minority, but people are going to be mean regardless of what ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender you are. The words they choose are simply the formality of it. If you were fat they would say shut up fat ass, if you had glasses they would say shut up 4 eyes etc, the only difference of course being that fat people or people with glasses weren't tormented/enslaved etc for hundreds of years because of this but eh, I feel like im going off topic and now just bringing up random points but hopefully people got something from it? lol >.<

*edit*
Oh I have one more point totally contradicting all my points above! People are obviously going to take offense to anything you say regardless of how you think the language should be interpreted, So if you're a community member don't "take a dumb ****** risk" (LOL I COULDNT HELP IT IM SORRY) and say anything that is going to offend someone and then try to justify it by bringing up the points I mentioned above. It's just not worth offending so many people for the sake of the principle of being able to say this stuff.
