LGBT Linkshell and Free Company Directory

[CruxisSeptentrion]

I don't know about other servers, but I havent seen any anti gay, sexist or racist remarks in the 3 months I've been playing the game. Or even in this forum, so that's good for everybody I suppose

There's this whole 'bro' culture that my boyfriend and I keep running into in FCs and Coil groups where people say the N word and the F word pretty much every sentence. I'm assuming it's coming from the Call of Duty/League of Legends genre where it's cool to say those sorts of things, but as someone that was in an LGBT guild (in WoW) for the last 3 years where that sort of language isn't tolerated whatsoever, it was very jarring to see those words coming out. When confronted with the players who use the F word as their favorite word, they say "oh I don't mean it like gay, I mean like they were stupid". Yeah, ok. Could they not have picked a different word?

It happened to me yesterday, in fact. I was in CT and someone came in and there were 2 afk people and he said "Can we kick those two afk F*****s?". I asked him not to use that sort of language and then he went on to defend that it's his time and his game and he can say whatever he wants. I threatened to report him and he left after Bone Dragon.

People should be able to enjoy the game in an FC where people will treat them with respect and decency and not be exposed to that sort of language. Most FCs aren't filled with the 'bros', but being in a primarily lgbt or lgbt-friendly FC will decrease the odds of that happening in the first place.

Amen to this! By the way, thanks for having me in your FC. (It's Zendaya by the way.) ^_^

Exactly. It's not a matter wanting to segregate oneself completely from other straight people or only wanting to only party with other LGBT peeps. People just want to avoid unnecessary drama/stress when possible. Different people play for different reasons, and have different BS tolerance levels. Other gay people need to understand that too. Just because you haven't run into it or have thicker skin doesn't mean you should expect everyone to have it too.

I'm in a regular FC that is very accepting and I have an LGBT player linkshell for funsies. It's nice being able to crack a joke or talk about 'that guy is attractive' or 'my boyfriend and I' blah blah without weirding people out.

I dont get why anyone has an issue of this thread unless they are offended by lgbt for wutever reason. Ni one gets their panties in a bunch when RP groups are looking for other RP groups. Or when anime lovers seek out other like minded pplz to play with. Just replace all the lgbt text in this thread with anime or cute fluffy kittens and I bet pplz wouldnt be confused as to why the thread was created. Wish pplz would actually understand the simple purpose of this thread lol

Because this isn't a good comparison. You're conflating sexuality (something more or less innate) versus lifestyle interests/hobbies (more or less a developed preference). The ironic thing is that this argumentative approach is the same one most bigots that we know and love use.

[MACEenyo]

Why labeling yourselves? If you want to be treated as a normal person regardless of your sexual preference you won't achieve it by using LGBT label. I play for fun not to show others my busness.

Right? It's not like people go around in public life expressing their sexuality. I wish they would just pass a law in every state recognizing same sex unions and be done with it. It's getting old. You have the right to do be who ever you want, but I also believe all the pro-gay propaganda on TV nowadays is getting ridiculous.

Are you seriously making a tone argument here? That's disgraceful, get out.

lol if i would of used something that gets just as much controversy (religion, politics, fetishes) then it wouldnt of really get my message across because there would be some people that are offended for wutever reason. Basicly like minded pplz seeking to join others regardless of what that might be shouldnt be all that confusing to understand. sorry my english isnt perfect to actually get the message out to how i want it to the point its misleading and misunderstood completely. And fyi im here to join the community not start issues with it, so its already offensive being compared to those i put up with everyday.

My intention wasn't to make any perceived tone argument; it was to caution someone about making a hasty conflation. If I gave off that impression, I apologize.
