Out of Pod Experience

So if you put an arse whooping on a bully does that make you a bully buliler?

This request isn't unreasonable and quite honestly it shouldn't even need to be presented as a 'plea for tolerance'. It should be a demand for intolerance of abuses that cross into RL based upon all of the above. As per Komi's remarks, I've seen that argument before, but intolerance of intolerance doesn't have to be expressed violently or oppressively.

Do and say what you like in cyberspace - and try wriggle out of it via GMs/Mods - but in the real world, a lot of this crap is classed as a hate crime. Or would earn you a smack in the gob. There's some sort of mass delusion here where a minority (?) seem to think spending hours creating a boobylicious avatar and sucking up to other likeminded opinionated attention seekers entitles them to be complete knobs, as well as guarantees some sort of anonymity. Newsflash gobshites: if you threate to **** and murder people IRL (and their families), chances are one of you is going to get caught at some point and taught what those **** jokes really mean. If you revert to a juvenile state online, you're gonna get censored eventually and you'll probably be among the dubious group responsible for accelerating the process by being so hilariously outrageous about it. Grrr... (funnily enough one of those articles mentions the Quinn ex was deleted on SA).

If people are spiteful enough to ruin lives over the internet (and think they can get away with it) it's about time they start being taught a few lessons about how RL works, and where the line is. That's nothing to do with being politically correct, or thin-skinned. It's operating a zero tolerance approach to abnormal levels of abuse. If you don't like it, **** off to a community that tolerates it IRL.

As a non-white woman from Yorkshire (don't let the white girl avatar fool you, it's a wig), I'm already 'ard enough tyvm. Some of the stuff said online would result in 'death by handbag' here. That's just the grannies. Some of the creatures here might do well writing their remarks on a sammich board then strolling casually through any major city IRL in their underpants, just to see what happens. I'd like to see how well the witty forum retort would apply.


+1 would like to see a statement on this

Such a plea or demand, or whatever, would be redundant and therefore of no value to those that would agree and accept such a stance without the plea being voiced, and it would be lost on those that don't care one way or the other. If something happens in an online game that stumbles into a RL issue, call local law enforcement if such an incident is actually illegal. If it stays in game, no harm no foul.

If someone wants to join in on making such a plea to help themselves feel good about themselves, more power to them. 6 / half dozen.

hey, while an eye for an eye makes the world go blind, just because you slapped me in the other cheek doesn't mean you don't get to be slapped on the other one.

with a baseball bat.

BS will fly whenever there is money in it for someone.

If this SJW crap spreads to Eve, it will be used as a metagaming tool. I have seen it happen twice already with the petition system.


You want to kill this game, this'll do it. It'll be the one thing that busts the most cherished reputation of the game. It will be said that "The SJWs finally brought Eve Online to heel".


In a world where video games have been the last safe space for men the misandry can only be pushed so far. A SJW attack on CCP or Eve may well be the Helms Deep in this "war".

I play lots of different games, and I have yet to see one that actually allows hardcore racism and stuff. So I don't know what all those thin skinners are crying about anyway.

in 5 years I can think of only 2 games with big names behind them that touch gender or racial issues:

Duke Nukem Forever, of which is done in a tongue-in-cheek satyr.
Bioshock Infinite, of which is actually done to portrait how USA was back then.

Neither were to be taken seriously because one was done satirically, and the other was done to place it, historically.

People that are mean in the imaginary world of games tend to be nicer people in the real world as a result.

I'll sign anything that calls for thin skinned people that can't separate fantasy from reality leaving the gaming scene forever.

but that can't be! someone wants to be a special snowflake!

Has this got something to do with Quinn and Sarkeesian?

Don't know much about the Quinn debacle, but as for Sarkeesian, here agenda becomes clear when properly analysed. Her videos requesting donations to make her new series were better quality than the ones she made with the funding of the donations she received.
