Post subject: Why isn't this place used like any other fighter board |
 |
| |
On most fighting game boards they tend to try and talk about strategies or effective moves or combinations...all i see here is --!#$@-- bashing and flaming of mere opinions. Sure opinions are ok but not if every single thread turns into an opinion flaming free for all. I was appauled the first few times i visited here at how Stryker would say something and everyone was on him like white on rice becuase his comment was homosexual in nature. I would agree that Stryker had a point in letting other men hear homosexual ideas is a good way to make them keep their catcalls and sexist comments to themselves, but its kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face, it just doesn't work, all it does is make people angry and it doesn't belong on a gaming board. By no means do I think Stryker should be forced to keep his ideas or preferences to himself for the sake of tranquility on the board, I only think he should be forced to do so if comments like "Her military outfit really shows off her tits." or whatever would be banned also. Unless all the heterosexuals want to lose their right to say opinions like that here, I would just respect Strykers opinions as his own, no one was ever hurt by words or opinions unless they let themselves be hurt by them.
Plus there isn't even anything wrong with Strykers --!#$@-- comments...its not like he created homosexuality. Samurai were openly homosexual with one another as well as children, and they would wear makeup into battle sometimes. The first Geisha were men. The mighty Spartan soldiers made love to each other so much it was common practice that on a soldier's honeymoon his wife would be forced to dress in a man's tunic and sandals to make the soldier more comfortable. You shouldn't act like Stryker came up with the idea of being --!#$@-- or even that he has forced it into your lives...history forced it into all of our lives and there is no way to escape the past. I say just deal with it. Ignore it if you must, but that doesn't make it not exist nor does it make Stryker leave.
Finally, i'd like to say soon as I get my copy of this game, I'm going to try and change this place a little bit and make it more of an all around discussion about the actual game rather than everyone's opinions on who's hot and who's not or "why isn't this move here anymore?"...when i get the game remains to be seen though.
Oh, and by the way, anyone who wants to flame me for saying any of the above, go right ahead, becuase I could care less about what you have to say about my opinions. I'll ignore what you say, the way what I said got you so mad it required flaming...completely without thinking about what was said.

Maybe you should take a look around, you might notice that most of us do discuss the game itself...

--!#$@-- bashing isn't the only problem around here.I did talk about strategies.I talked about Drahmin.You see,he's an underrated fighter,but i think he's a great fighter.He is fun to use,his special moves are effective,so is his netherealm style and his iron club.His Oni style is a bit difficult hough.But,Da_SkorpionKing came and whined.He couldn't accept the fact that some people can use Drahmin.He said i was blinded by stupidity for thinking Drahmin is good.
So,if you say a specific character is good,you either get flamed or praised.--!#$@-- bashing is far from being the only problem around here.Its much more common at mk5.org.But thanks for defending me.It was about time an intelligent person came here.

Never thought bout --!#$@-- samurai's or spartan warriors before. If anything this shows that people had bizarre sex practices (I am referring to women dressing up as men for their partner) before the america's were discovered. And teacher's rag on students holding hands or kissing in the hallway. really puts things in perspective.

The only problem I have with homosexuals is....they're homosexual. Other than that, they are fine. They just need to stop being that way is all.

I see no problem with someone being homosexual. I'm new to the board and never noticed any bashing going on, or I would have said something, being the strong liberal I am.

Does it matter if I'm joking or not? I hate the policy on many internet boards that you have to agree with homosexuals and their choices. AOL started the trend, and many boards and other places just followed suit without questioning why. It's not a matter of internet law you know.
It just seems to be an infringement on freedom of speech and all.

Homosexuality isn't a choice,but homophobes are too stupid to understand that.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Some people hate the opposite sex so badly they go with the same sex. Sad but true.
But that wasn't meant to be my point. My point is, why the hell do I have to agree with you? I just don't like people telling me what to think.

I started to leave you alone, but since you mentioned me again I'm guessin' you were thinking about me and miss me(how sweet). Regardless to what I said on that post in that thread, what I said wasn't suppose to be taken personal. It was simply about Drahmin, not you Stryker. Now if I called you stupid or whatever for liking him, it wasn't suppose to be taken serious. So in other words, you weren't suppose to get offended because I do believe ending the post with "....no offense to you". However, you took it that way and became a homo-nuisance. That's when the flame wars began. I, in no shape or form have ANYTHING against anyone because of their sexuality, be it homo, hetero, or bi. That has never been an issue with me. You, Stryker 666, like to flaunt bi or homosexuality like it's everybody's business. It's not. Regardless to what the guy said about warriors and samurai, that started this thread, homosexuality and bi-sexuality may not be by choice, but that doesn't make it completely right in some people's opinions. So it'd be nice if you simply didn't flaunt it to make men squirm or think twice about sexist comments, like it's been said by many, IT WON'T WORK! Now if you want me to come back, all you have to do is say my name again. Have a happy new year STRYKER! And try not to get offended by everything you hear.
As for our new guy that started this thread....(No flaming contained)
I understand totally where you are coming, but you should realize this is the real world. Not everything is peaches and cream everywhere. Yes, this board is suppose to talk about the game and the game only. But let's think about somethin' for a moment here. If you're a working man (and I'm assuming you are b/c you sound intelligent enough to be of age), do you go to work and just WORK? When you go and/or were going to school, did you just go to learn and leave? Probably not, when you go to work, you'll probably stop and talk to co-workers, depending on where you work you might even look around a bit. When you go to school, i'm sure you stopped to gawk at the cuties (be it male or female for some), you talked to your friends about non-school issues and events. My point is, this board was made for gaming, but it won't consist of game talk only because of the fact that there are humans on this board. No offense to you at all, but don't try to fix something that's not broke (not saying that this board doesn't need a lil' fix here and there, but not about the topics, jus' following other rules).

Where is it written that you have to agree with homosexuals? Besides, you have the freedom to not give a shit whether or not someone is --!#$@-- or isnt. If they want to flaunt it, thats fine, but like anyone who fluants anything, even a super hot girl who shows off her ass whenever she can, wiil get annoying, bothersome, and tirsome and people wont care anymore. The only reason why I asked if you were joking is becuase the staement you made sounded like you have an inherent right to hate homosexuals regardless what they do to to you or if they do anything to you. I mean wht you said is no different then saying, "the only problem I have with black people is that theyre black".

"Where is it written that you have to agree with homosexuals?"
You would be surprised how bad some boards are. You can get edited or even banned for saying "--!#$@--" or "lesbian" not matter what the context. Some people think if you don't agree with the notion that people are born --!#$@--(see above) then you are a --!#$@-- basher. Which is ridicolous, it's an incredibly complex debate. AOL started it all I think, others did the same.
So why did I make the comment? Simple. If it gets edited or anything, I'm gone from this board for good. I don't hang out in places where I can't speak my mind, or even make an off color joke. I just limits the debate to nothing but one side. That's tense, boring, and just plain wrong.

After the comments you've made, I think it's safe to say that if you left no one would miss you. Sorry, but I'm jus' bein' real witcha. In fact, some of us would be happy that someone with so much hatred toward people because of their beliefs, sexuality, etc. is gone. Yes, Stryker can become a nuisuance and an annoyance, but that doesn't make him wrong or you bashing his sexuality right.
