So called RPG site makes outrageously racist vid about Fallo

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:06 am

Hi guys I was browsing the RPG Codex recently just looking at stuff (does anyone have fun with games there?) and I saw this ridiculous video posted up there:
WARNING LOTS OF EXPLETIVES


It seems like people were actually enjoying it, I don't understand the humor in this, it's ridiculous. What are RPG sites coming to these days?

Fallout:NV is a good game and mocking it like this is just typical of that sort of elitism.

If no one exposes it then how can people be educated on the issue? It's like allowing racist organizations to build up simply because of the fear that if they are given more exposure they will attract more members. I think the best way to fight this sort of thing is to expose it, that's my opinion.

Pfft, from the forum posts I have read on that site it's nothing more than flame wars and troll fests. At least the moderators here keep people in check.

I guess I am just mildly annoyed by it because I have to deal with such people daily as well, it's ridiculous. I just wanted to voice my annoyance with that sort of people cuse it seriously ruins my mood sometimes.

All that particular YouTube user's videos are racist. From the comments on their channel it sounds like they regularly get banned and have to create new accounts and repost. I'm sure they'll be banned again shortly if lots of people accurately flag their videos as hate speech.

It's a social problem so I think it's better to let it sit and be exposed. It's not on the internet where it's damaging it's in real life, that's where people should actually act, not online.

Personally I think the RPG Codex has a right to say what they want. We have the first amendment in this country for a reason.

Not much to discuss since the video breaks forum rules, and the link went away.


Locked.
