Gamers Upset at Blizzcon's Slur-Ridden Speech

[Thyunda]

Then you fit into the minority of death metal fans. Unless you're American. Then you'll notice I said 'Fat, greasy OR American'. Though often all three. And, I also said 'most', so how about you take your easily-offended ass off the Internet before some other guy makes a sweeping generalisation that not only do you try incredibly hard to be included in, you also insist you're not?

I'm fat (not obese), American, and a Death metal fan. But I'm not greasy, I'm quite picky about my hygiene. So....Hurray for completely inaccurate generalizations? Also, don't be an arse. It's a good way to be told not to post here by mods.

OT: 1:I thought Cannibal Corpse was grindcore. 2: They're a terrible band. 3: Does anyone honestly take the trash talk of a WoW player seriously? I mean no offense to the LGBT community, but being called a "cock sucking fag who likes it in the butt because he is gay", just comes with the territory. Honestly it shouldn't, but these aren't things they'll say to your face so it's hardly heart filled hate speech. Lighten up.
As for the Blizzard community.... Well, in my opinion Blizz-con shouldn't even be a thing.

Erm...but he just used the word '******.' He wasn't deriding homosexuals; he used it as a general insult, which is how a lot of people use it.

Get an education, seriously.

A ****** is a bundle of sticks. He was merely calling them tinder before the great flame

Okay. For the third time. I said OR. Fat. OR greasy. OR American. And you're American, so you fit. My 'sweeping' generalisation seems to be very accurate.

Also, a ****** is a kind of meatball, too.

"Concluding the awkward but appreciated apology to the gay community, the presentation turned to the integration of Diablo III into Battle.net. Acknowledging the outcry from the gaming community over the required internet connect for even single-player games, the Blizzard representative showcased the intuitive registration process, proclaiming that it was "so easy a Chinaman could do it!""

Ofensive to gays? What about night elves and gnomes? Will no one think of the gnomes?

Srsly though, i remember watching that video about 3 to 4 years ago (an almost falling out of my chair laughing about it). How is this news now? Besides, i think people are just being over sensitive again. To me the vid is hillarious, and the insults are not directed at gays or anything. And the way the guy got so overexcited was too funny, but that's George Fisher for you. I am not a big fan of his music (i prefer other genres of metal to death metal) the guy is pretty awesome.

Gasp! Such a brilliant rebuttal! You dispatched all of my points with such clarity and decisiveness! How can I respond to such a well-versed-

Oh, wait. You just shrieked an insult at the opening sentence and called it a day. Nevermind. I mistook you for someone with an argument/opinion/something worthwhile to offer. Won't happen again.

Someone who's politically correct. Someone with the middle name Corpsegrinder."

Pick one. I can only imagine the headlines if they took the time to get his response to the outcry.

Newsflash: Some people aren't going to be browbeaten into toning down their language just because you're 'offended.' Grow a pair.
