Racism in TW
Forums › General Discussion › Racism in TW-
I get the taunting and trash talk. That is part of the game, but I think there should be moderation of overt hate speach besides just getting your friends to beat on people. Thoughts?
-
Examples?
-
Social issues expressed through the medium of the game is not part of the general discussion forum. Please correct my understanding.
The turf in question that crossed the line in my opinion was one titled "white power". There were more but they could just be classified as poor taste.

BTW I agree it is in poor taste, but we can't censor someone with different views

I fully understand that we need to support free speech even when it is offensive, however by playing TW, we agree to terms of service which limits the freedom of our speech here. Hateful or derogatory remarks ARE against the rules. The turfs in question range from poor taste to derogatory terms for non-caucasians and the "white power" previously mentioned.
I simply question whether these violate the TOS, as the "worst" seem to in my opinion.
The section of TOS I am referring to (section I.a)

All fags should be banned.
Is that a bad statement?
Not if I mean cigarettes.

There is no free speech in an Internet app or on an Internet message board.
Although the app or the board may be hosted on public Internet, it is still private property and privately owned.
When you sign up, you agree to follows the terms and conditions set forth by the devs and owners.
You essentially wave your right to free speech when you agree to the terms.
It is legal. It is valid. And it is not unconstitutional. And the "free speech" argument is completely invalid.

CC, pretty much aisolates violate the tos on a daily basis. Yet when one of the "popular" people violates no one says anything.
Who gets to choose when it's acceptable to violate tos?

Err... It would not be racist if his turfs have a white color???
But i totally agree, certain turfs out there are plain rasist and all the other things together...
-
"white power" is not a racist statement.
Some find it offensive, but it's not racist."white people are better than purple people"; that's racist. it directly says one is better than the other based soley on race
If I decided to name all my turf after Nazi places that would offend people , but until I name my turfs "Jews are lame" I don't think it warrants an intervention.
FYI I do not have any turfs named anything offensive, at the moment

Are we really complaining about one frickin turf that said white power? I agree with the comment above me and the freedom of speech thing. God gave us a voice to use and a brain to think, he was just using both....

if this is your biggest problem in the game to fret over, send feedback.
-
The government is the only thing that can limit your freedom of speech. This game has no responsibility to allow you to say whatever you want.

Again, I say screw this. I was given a voice, I will use it as so. The only people who I think have successfully limit the freedom of speech of their populace is the Chinese.

The goverment is the only thing with the POWER to limit tour freedom of speech. The Chinese government is hardly the only one that severly limits the freedom of expression of it's citizens. If Nick told us we couldn't use the word THE or that we could only speak in LOLcat that wouldn't be limiting our speech because we are able to go elsewhere and say what we want.

White power is hardly racist. White power could be interpreted in so many different ways. Like cmon. It's such an open ended thing. Like troggy said, if it was "white people are better than others" then yeah. Thats not all that open ended.
But who are you to take that leap of faith and say that "white power" is a racist thing hinted by the creator? It's to open ended.

if they, nick and crew, wont do something about "omnifuckshismom"s turf named "omnibuttfuckhismom" then i doubt they will bother with "white power". ive also seen far worse ones. most people cap then destroy. i keep them as an example of how that person really is. if you really wanna see it change, make your own. and a lot of them.
