Also, homosexuality is not a choice. Smoking weed is. Besides, the weed threads have been little more than talks about who is going to get high when the game comes out. Unlike this thread or other threads that have contained discussions concerning homosexuality and the games, there was very little game-related content in the weed threads.

I like stoners, and I like gay people. I think both should get to talk in a little thread online. Even if its only vaguely relevant a thread isnt a lot of space, and you dont have to be part of one. So whats the problem leaving either open.

This is how Zero thinks.

Alright, I will leave this thread until those stupid stoners have as well.
And if they don't, then hopefully this thread will be closed down.

It was fun as long it lasted though.

There may have been a good discussion if iheartxenomorphs and gillbob hadnt trolled it to death, and its kinda hard when the thread gets shutdown a half hour after it goes up.

Sooo.... Back to some relevant conversation.

I'm curious to know how everyone deals with all the homophobia in online gaming? It's such a widespread problem and there doesn't seem to be any good solution. Who hasn't been called a fag by some 12 year old asshole at this point? Thats the reason I never really got into Black Ops. Reporting it is tedious and doesn't seem to actually have any effect.

I can already predict a lot of it in MK. What do you guys and girls - gay or straight - do to deal with it?

Lol, naw bro I'm agreeing with you. Doesn't QFT mean "quoted for truth"?

And the fact that we should be tolerate of homosexuals playing MK over stoners or any other demographic playing MK is bullshit. The fact that weed smoking is a choice rather than a biological cause doesn't mean we straight up cant talk about it either. Jaded Raven choses to rub his sexuality in everybody's face with his constant jokes about various MK male characters tossing each others salad or whatever else he says and nobody finds fault with that. And does that really pertain to the MK series very much, some moron's sexual fantasies? Hell no, but its tolerated nonetheless.

The people in favor of the weed thread getting closed are trying to get shit twisted by saying we're arguing about the similarities of stoner and gay culture. Thats not the argument. The argument is that both should be met with tolerance, if they bother you don't go into the fuckin thread. Did anybody come in here and say gay people are worthless? Fuck no, they'd be skulled. Thats a deliberate act to cause a conflict and derail a thread. But for some reason thats ok in other topics.

This is my main point i wasnt trolling and i wasnt offensive or vulgar in my posts at all, i stated my argument and you guys wont even consider it, i got one intellegent response, talk about close minded. I respect your lifestyle but this thread is no more relevant To MK when it started than the other one was when it was started, as far as i know there are no smokers or homosexuals in mortal kombat.

Alternative friendly Roster so Far:
InuShonen-PS3 (420)
ZeroSymbolic7188-PS3 (Crossdresser/NeoHippie)
Kniveskun-XBL (420)

Thats what the stoner thread was trying to do, put together a get together.

Anyway its not a bad idea to put alt-people into a roster, Any interest from the gay community in doing this?

---------------------------------------------------

I used to play with a clan tag TGRL but most people didnt get it. Personally I find most people just use faggot or gay to express frustration with somebody, I think those words have evolved along with every other facit of the english language over time.

Now in the rare case that somebody really is making anti-gay hate speech, I just mute and report them. Thats all that you really can do.

This thread is actually far more relevant. It poses a question towards a demographic of MK fans and asks their opinions on certain aspects of the game. The first stoner thread shouldn't have been closed. I'll give you that. I didn't see anything wrong with it. However, the second one was little more than troll posts.

You guys should stop giving recreational smokers like myself a bad name.

I think it wouldve got there if the 420 community wasnt flooded hard by the straight edged people right off the bat. When that happens and shuts down the thread you were trying to be productive in, it kinda rubs you the wrong and way and puts you on defense.

My feeling is a gay thread and a weed thread are just as valid as the other, they should both be closed or both be open. Thats whats up, The double standard is BS.

Yeah, all the homophobic remarks made by some during online gaming really turn me off to playing certain games on LIVE or PSN. People can try to defend it and say it's just trash-talking, but that is sort of the point. When these people taunt others, they use these slurs because they're the the worst things they can think of to call other males. Being a "queer" makes you less of a man in their eyes.

The "Stoners" are a demographic of MK fans to, and a larger demographic for that matter, and theyre opinions on certain aspects of the game are just as relevant correct?

Favorite character is probably Raiden. We'll see, I've always liked Smoke but I don't wanna play the same character everyone is playing and it seems he's getting alot of attention. Might change once I see the story and get a feel for the kombatants.
I'd like to see Kung Lau's Dragon Fatality and Reptiile's head eating fatality from MKII.
As for the other topics related to this thread, I'm straight, and don't smoke weed. I actually hate how weed is tarnishing Smoke's good name in other threads. I don't think your dumb if you smoke weed but talking about it like its religion gets old fast. No one cares.
As for the Gaymer, I don't care if your gay, I do however find being more feminine than your average girl is pretty annoying. Not all gay men are that way but the one's that are..yeah, not a fan.
Hmm..I feel I should touch on racism too. I don't discriminate against any race. I do however dislike stereotypical people that ruin it for others of the same race, religion, sex, and various other prefrences.

Eh, anyway, that's my two cents.
