Which was basically the entire problem with the weed threads in the first place.

For every person that MIGHT have been trying to create a sense of "community" and have a "fair discussion" (Of which I, honestly don't think there were that many)

There were 10 more that were more or less just there to say, "I smoke weed and all you straight people can piss off! Woo hoo!"

In fact, here's a little snippet from the first thread directed at one of the anti-weed posters from one of the pro-weed posters...

Yeah, you sounded REAL tolerant and open-minded in that first thread Splinter. It's a wonder such a tolerant pro-community thread.


OK ill admit i lost my cool with that xenomorph dude and the thread was already broke at that point. but i meant i didnt bring that sort of talk over to this thread as nobody here was being anywhere close to as rude as he was being..

Anyway who cant wait for this freakin game to come out, what was it called oh ya MORTAL KOMBAT!!! glasses

Out of Context FTW!


Context shmontext, the guy has been going on about how friggin respectful and open-minded he he tried to be in the closed threads, and it's bullcrap.

That was an EXACT QUOTE.

Yeah, the anti-weed guy was going on a rant, but Splinter wasn't being tolerant and level-headed, he was ranting and cursing right back at him.

hey everyone! I was internetless for a week and half and it felt like a lifetime! So... did I miss anything MK relevant that a gaymer should know about? I think I heard something about Jax's alt, some streaming vid with story mode, and I'm about to check out a thread with Jade's win pose. anything else?

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?


In all honesty, I don't care much for people yelling FAG or anything else like that at me. I'm not the one with the problem. I am quite content with who I am, so the one with the problem is the one yelling at me. I just feel sorry that they feel the need to shout out something like that.

One thing is to have an opinion and dislike something. Another thing is to shout it out whenever the possibility arise. It's the same on these forums, really. If someone is unhappy about something, they will call it out at every thread that has the possibilty to be moved onto that topic.

I admit, I have done the same thing. I've been raged about Quan Chi making an appearance in the game while Rain was left out. I've been annoyed about people calling all the palette swaps for ninjas when only Scorpion is a ninja - though that is still debatable if he really is a ninja. I've called out on the ridiculous animation Kitana's hair has in the game. And now all this trouble with the weed/drug abusers.

I try not to get personal and try to be open-minded about others opinions, but sometimes the evil in me (yeah, let's call it that, it sounds cool) is triggered and turns up to show its ugly face.

I know, it's not quite the same as being bullied by idiots who shout bad words at you just for being who you are, but my point was to show that we all have that bad side which shows up at times. All in all, it's about personal insecurity - wanting to boost your own ego by calling out others. And everyone does it. It's sad, but true, really.

There are of course some exceptions, and I have a deepfound respect for those people. They are the ones who are really at peace with themselves and the world around them.

Anyways, to wrap this all up: I deal with it by accepting that that's just how the world is. No one is perfect. All I can do is just be me and hope people can accept me for who I am. If they can't, then there's not really much I can do about it. Nor is it really my problem.

I hope that answered your question. ^^

I think splinter and I are done arguing, we just felt like we were treated unfairly today, and then a portal opened up and we found ourselves here and blew off some steam.

I think what a lot the craziness boils down to is, we are bored and we want Mortal Kombat, and its so close tensions are high.

I'm in a rush, so I'll go quick. I'm straight, and here are my favorite characters.

Male- Sub Zero

Female- I hate to be an asshole, but I never use the female characters. Sorry. =/

Can I just do another male?

Alright, thanks.

Other male- Smoke.

They don't have to know. They simply feel like yelling out something they find bad, and then tends to yell fag, gay or something like that. Because it has been accepted in gaming community, and many other places, that being a fag or gay is indeed a bad thing.

Geeks aren't really that open-minded and they generalize all the time.

Hmm, to the guy with the mk stoner thread.

1.) Shouldnt have been closed.

2.) Weed is damn near legal in Cali, Colorado, and New mexico. sure im missing more but yeah its starting to "Bud" out.

3.) People shouldnt flame a guy for being so pumped about smoking weed. W.e who cares if you had to jump on his thread and down him in anyway your a trashy bitch end of story.

4.) I agree people who constantly talk about getting high are kind of lame, and most likely new to smoking weed. The ones who are really stoners dont even mention it, you will just smell it on them.

5.) If that guy chooses to make a similar thread without trashy bitches starting arguements and it still gets closed then Mods on this sight are nothing but pussies. It may not be completely legal but plenty of people still do it. Not to mention not drive into a van full of soccer kids and mom and kill them all like drunks do.

6. I dont really hate gay people. Your choice just like its someones choice to do drugs.(as long as its not hurting others) But if you REALLY want to nit pick about closing a thread. This thread should be closed.

Why? This is easily one of the most highly debated topics ever. Which judging by the mods decision to close the stoners thread(debate and animosity) this thread easily beats that. Also lets say the mod had a personal vendetta against pot heads? How many people here do you think are comfortable with talk of all things gay? Sure plenty are but still there is a majority here.

Lastly, what if tomorrow everyone was a stoner? The world would reek of weed, Violence would surely drop because there would be a lot less people out doing things because they were too high to move. who knows maybe even world leaders could come to set their differences aside over a bong or something?

What if we all woke up and the world was gay?

Well, then 100 years or so from now the whole human race would cease to exist. Im sure this will piss a lot of the gay community off. But w/e idc. Im not bashing gay people this is just how i see it. I have a gay co worker and i dont have a problem being around him. I know hes not hitting on me. and i told him just like im telling you all. Thats how it is.

Which I must direct everyone to at least this video:

Nerd Rage

To show you that pretty much any name that someone finds offensive, they will throw out. They don't even have to know your personal life, as long as the word they throw out there means to be offensive, they will use it. Whether or not it makes them feel tough... Still, they'll use the word, even the "N" word.

I don't let it bother me, I hear so much racist, sexist, and homophobic stuff online, that if I let it bother me, I wouldn't enjoy online play, I use their ignorance as a motivating factor to kick their buttsmile They don't know we're gay, but the fact that they use such terms as an insult or "trash talking" is very indicative of them thinking it's a bad thing.
