Made u decision I see
Are the Melon Men Hypocrites?
Myself and other Melons have been too forgiving. In your case we gave you more chances than anyone and now youâve gone too far.
Iâll give you an example.
Iâve been called an N word in this game by some dude with American accent. Pred player which I killed. He popped his mic and started raging and throwing racist insults, calling me N and wishing me to die.
That dude couldâve said whatever other insult, but he went str8 to racism, just because of my nick in the game. Is that dude a racist?! Of course he is. I donât need any post / thread on the internet to make a conclusion about that dude.
If he did the same thing on the street, he would probably picking up his jaw from the floor.
âHey your hair looks so stupid the way you cut itâ not racist, rude, just not racist.
Idk what it is that youâre trying to justify.
No, you did with your actions. Like mello said youâve been given more chances than anyone.
Hah
Wtf? Chances?
Yall are just offended at my rage moments even tho I never attacked any of my teammates in my rage moments.
You attacked Gothams who is a fellow Melon.
Chances of what? My first issue was my discord comment so what else is there.
See being petty little school children
had to have a 20 minute talk with someone yesterday on how dropping hard R Nword and gay with the context of using it to demean someone is fucked. The excuses were mind bogaling too âeveryone says it where i amâ My Dad and his dad say it all the time" âit just means your ignorant and stupidâ Eventually they spat out that they come from a small redneck country town.
Who was defending someone who was attacking another melon. So like did we all forget that xeno was being harassed first by someone who doesnât consider themselves with us.
Did Xeno or the person in question start slinging racist shit around?
Because whatever happened, you did.
Also apologized for it directly after I said it because it was out of line.
Ok, so heâs hinting that Mexicans are a working class people who are perhaps not as smart and that they are illegal immigrants. Some of them are and many come to USA to illegally and take on working class jobs. Its a negative connotation and there is oppression there by degrading terminology, so i think you might be right. I still feel like itâs terminology of circumstance and it doesnât reflect anything more that an insult pertaing to that circumstance.
Iâm sorry I advance if sound like a racist asshole. At this point i canât explain what Iâm trying to say any better but Iâm trying to understand where the boundry is.
Yeah, i have a hard time putting it into words, but i do want to learn from this.
Illfonics must be going nuts right now. They might just have to axe this game because of the forum.
The boundary for most is that racist comments made to hurt or insult the person is crossing a line. Its not complicated.
There are plenty of ways to insult someone without including that kind of shit.
No. Just words spoken in anger
But all insults are meant to do that. So if you insult someone by saying something that pertains to their race, automatically itâs racism? Like it makes sense that it should be, but i still have a hard time differentiating it from other insults.
Itâs unnecessary and telling of the individual. If I donât like someone Iâll call them a bellend, a dildo or a jackass. Why the fuck would I include anything racist?
Thatâs what I would think. I know it hurts the other side more when youre being so specific, but i still have a hard time imaging that itâs meant to show that someone isa lesser humam being for it. I can see that at times, but at times i also donât see it and i just see âspecificâ anger/insult.
