    Give the south and midwest it's own server and let west/east coast have their own :) lol

    Yes, because the solution to differing viewpoints is segregation.

    OP, your ignore button exists for a reason.

    My right to type this in this forum, too...i hope...yet... :)

    I think it extremely relevent that you work on your english before attempting to get help from a predominantly english speaking forum.
    People are allowed to have personal opinions and to express them, even if they are wrong or offensive. If you disagree then articulate a response or add them to your ignore list. Just because someone can express themselves doesn't mean they have a right to be heard.

    Also, try not to equate racist words with racist actions. When you do that you demean true human suffering.

    Hate speech results in suffering.

    No it dosent. No it really does not. If you truely believe that, please immigrate to a place with hatespeech laws.

    It's a proven fact (verifiable by research) that people in liberal holdouts such as the major coastal cities and Democrat havens like California and New England are actually more racist and live in more heavily segregated communities than people in the South and Midwest. Your century is off and your stereotype is off.

    Welcome to the internet. You simple cannot expect everyone to be respectful. Simple as that. What you can do, though, is press the ignore button and have a nice reminder of the day.

    How do you come across racism in a game where everyone's username is the same colour? Random racist rhetoric in zone chat can me muted, just like any type of offensive rhetoric.

    Oh, and to briefly touch on this.

    Trash talk has been a problem since the beginning of online gaming. Idiots, young and old, have been shouting racist, anti homosexual (I wont use homophobic, that does not mean what you think it means you dolt) and Misogynistic (Which I hear very rarely) since they have been given a chatbox.

    Y'know who usually do this? -Idiots-. Y'know who will keep doing it, reguardless of your measures and campaigning against it? Idiots. You have an ignore button which is specifically there so that you can tune these people out, because censoring them for what they choose to say is the worst way of handling it.

    @MLGProPlayer Take your ideology, and apply it elsewhere. You will never stop these people from spewing idiocy. In the case of children, children outgrow stupid. In the case of people, everyone has bad days. Figure out that one bad act does not define a person, and use the ignore button, and you'll improve your playing experience enormously.

    Oh. And if you repeatedly encounter a racist person who is determined to be so, report them. Most companies dont abide that sort of thing, and shouting at us to fall upon them like some sort of full metal jacket moment when someone dosent fall in line, isn't gonna happen.

    If you're talking about in-game racism in-game, such as Dunmer supremacy and Argonian slavery, I'm totes cool with it because it's part of the ES lore.

    If you're talking about real-world racism in-game, report the person.

    - racism not is a 'personal opinion' like say something about a hamburguer, its a crime in majority of country with serious law's!

    Racism only applies to discrimination based on the colour of the skin. It doesn't apply to personal views like religion, i for example cannot stand religion fanatics. And i couldn't care less if the guy was white black, yellow, purple, blue.......
    Also respect is earned not granted.

    While I don't condone racist words, I disagree very much with this statement. Free speech is more important than peoples feelings. And hurt feelings isn't suffering, it's hurt feelings.

    Well said, i dislike people who use stupid phrases like hate speech, it doesn't exist, it's just speech.

    This would be a great way to end this thread.

    Since you seem to be a stickler for following the rules, I felt I should probably let you know that topics involving real world politics are against the forum community guidelines.

    I say this because I have noticed a lot of your posts tend to bring up politics (another example would be your gaza strip reference in the other thread). So you might want to consider following the rules yourself before you expect everyone else to. :)
