I only play online with people on my friends list. This is a good example of why. I dont like being around people who are fuckwads for no reason
Wish I could be that tough and manly. :P
However, I've heard far worse than that on live though, and despite not being related to homophobia it was still pretty damn shocking, I was in a room of Halo whilst some Scouse girl was, according to her, taking heroin and breast feeding whilst we were in the lobby waiting for a game.
To be fair when gayboy had the bomb and the guy was saying about shaking his ass.. I found that really funny. Most of the 'gay' jokes I found funny. It's more the wanting to kill, hurt etc etc. I'm not into that.
Thing is gay gamers are not rare on XBL. When I played on my friends XBL my first friend added was gay. We played DOA4 and he taught me some basic stuff. He has a 'DIVA' clan and invited me to join. It was too funny I couldn't resist and the guys were generally a good laugh gay or not.
User names are always going to cause some controversy like if I called myself "gamergrrl9" or something. I'm going to get bugged more than my 'atheistium' tag does.
Good to see this brought out to the open, surprised they blanked the names out. If i was getting so much shit from people I'd be happy to name and shame.
You know, I say as a community, we should all spam the shit out of FriendlyUncle. No joke. Down? Anyone down?
Pat yourselves on the back for not being dickholes like these guys.
No, viewing this video doesn't answer the question. Why do they (gay gamers) feel they need to mix gaming with sexuality? I get that they are a minority and feel they need a special interest group, but there is no need to flaunt. I would not change my name to ChickFucker (if I could that is) and not expect any comments about it.
What fucktards.
Maybe I'll get a PS3 instead, or put the money towards upgrading my computer. :p
...
Just kidding. From everything I hear most of this behavior happens in Halo games, and I have no desire to play a completely average first person shooter with (from what I've been told) a viciously competitive online arena.
Why? Why should having the word "gay" in your name immediately justify the ignorant words of some fucking 13 year old, immature, dick-joke centric homophobes? Seriously. Regardless of name, the creator of the video did nothing absolutely nothing to provoke these "people" into verbally assaulting him.
The Live community as a whole is something I generally avoid, but the Halo community is literally the worst community on the gaming planet, and it's not even close. I'd have them all killed if I could.
I wish the video creator would've left the names uncensored. The public needs to see what a bunch of assholes think they're saying anonymously.
This pretty much sums up the argument against doing just that. People can't be trusted.
arent you just asking to be ridiculed by the mouthbreathers on live?
this seems more like flame bait than any sort of conclusive evidence that xbox live is filled with a bunch of assholes (which everyone already knows it is).8 times out of ten ive never encountered a bad match.
"I would not change my name to ChickFucker (if I could that is) and not expect any comments about it."
People wouldn't give you any comments on it. That's the problem. You can be vaginaSucker and not get any crap for it. I don't understand why you'd expect people to try and offend you for "fucking chicks." There should be no problem at all for him having the gamertag xxx GayBoy xxx. That's like me doing something wrong for having a gamertag like Mexican Alex.
"No, viewing this video doesn't answer the question."
Are you blind or just fucking retarded? The reason for that website is to be able to be an open homosexual and talk about games without having to go through bullshit. They have it so they can socialize openly.
Why doesn't anyone stand up for him though? Totally ridiculous, i can't believe I live on the same planet as some of these folks.
Some people are just childish online, and only get their kicks by pushing others. Guess they didnt learn anything from their school days. --,
This is why I don't play on Live with people I don't know, they are all retards and make non stop retarded comments I don't want to hear.
I prefer retarded comments from my friends. Stay away from public matches.
Thank You. That hit the nail on the head. Why is it trolling to have your gamertag include something that says you are gay? No one has any issue with you saying that you are black or asian or short or a marine or a music fan or whatever. A gamertag is a short ID that you are comfortable with. If your sexuality is something you want to include in that, who should give a fuck? Like everyone else has said, I'd really like to see those gamertags in the video, just so I could beat the everliving shit out of them in a match an let them know they were just trounced by a homo. It would be like my own personal achievements list

This is why I don't play on Live unless it's with friends.
but my friends and i just say how we're jocks who like to date rape. and natty ice.
no, i'm not gay, i'm just rad.
