Ya, I cant think when it is late, and MSWord sucks to spell check because they dont take basic programming terms or names very well, so I stopped using it to spell check :P. Anywho...grrr.

Bad Gughunter. You of all people should know that asterisks in place of letters is considered taboo by the moderators. ;-)

[19 Jul 19:38] ChipsMan: Im going to have no whites in my game I find it funny that people get worked up over him saying this, even though he did not specify what skin tone the people in his game were going to have. If he had said something like, "I'm going to have only green people in my game.", then would anybody of called him racist? | |

Why did you post this? If they read the log they can see what I said we dont need it posted here multiple times. There is no situation Im just trying to see if people would care if whites were in my game or not if you read some of my posts..

The only thing I don't get is why you just up and announce it the way you did. From what I read, the only reason why you don't include one color is because other people don't include other colors. It sounds like a poor reason. "I don't want X type of person in my game because I don't want them" is not a reason. It's just repeating yourself. I wasn't one of the people calling you a racist. When you first said what you did you immediately grabbed my interest though, because I was curious as to what your game was about. I honestly was interested. But all you kept saying was what came off as an eye for an eye thing. | |
I know there's been a lot of conversation on this matter already, and I'll probably just be restating what's been said, but these are my beliefs:
It's up to you if you want to put only black people in your game. No one else is effected by your decision. If they don't like it for that one reason you probably don't want them in your game anyway. I know that you yourself are black. You probably feel upset that your race is overlooked in a lot of games, and your way of evening it is intentionally overlooking another race in your game. I don't think spite is the correct reason to leave whites out of your game. There's not a white convention where white people decided how to be racist against black people. Black characters are simply overlooked, not out of racism. It would be racist for you to intentionally leave out white people, unless there's a higher reason to do so. In a realistic game, not every character would be black or white. There's a mix most everywhere you go, regardless of what some people want to believe. I personally am fine playing as a black character, and I can't understand why anyone else would have trouble being a character of a different race. | |
I have a sudden desire to make a game where the only character icons available are black women with short hair.

After reading that log, I decided to stop using chatters for a long time. Can some OP please ban me just in case...

I'll second DarkView's statement and ask you not to leave. The /ignore command is wonderful, and some of us want to talk to you. =)

Well, I don't know how many times I have said this, or how many times I will have to say it again before it begins to sink in to people's heads:
Chatters is more than The Lounge. Don't like the company? Create your own channel and invite those people you wish to speak with. Someone comes in you find hard to be around, kick them out. It's not like you have to talk to these people if you don't want to. ~X | |
"Well then you overlooked the Zimbabeens of Alther 9!!!"
Everyone needs to chill out about this racism stuff, ok? Racism is everywhere. Some black people are looked down upon by whites, and vice versa. Some black people have entire college funds just for them, now that's MEGA-Racist. It's here to stay, so get over it :) That's the best advice I can give. ~Kujila | |

I should have been more specific: I simply cannot use anymore of my time with chats, games and other entertainment. I need a ban, or I will go back, I know it. I deleted my Yahoo account, another community user already. I won't remove my Byond keys (of course!), but at least staying away from the chat should help me a bit to concentrate on what I absolutely *must* do right now. /Gazoot | |
