Identifying Yourself As A Lesbian Gets You Banned On XBOX Live


Recommended Posts

I didn't notice my small spelling mistake when I posted it, **** happens, I did however notice it before reading your post pointing it out.

Americans are scum of the Earth* when it comes to equality laws, our laws under that regard are so much better!

If Micrsoft were a Canadian company, they'd never get away with something light this!

It's no big deal..

Im sorry, but if your aloud to ride in front because your white and i have to ride at the back because im black, then i think equal rights are a good thing, no?

I was refering to homosexuals.

It's no big deal.. Homosexuals should be glad they get treated the way they do the day today, and not how it was not many years ago. Its overrated if you ask me, its nothing thath there is need to talk about. How is a homosexual suppos to reproduce like any other human, there is nothing good about being a homosexual.

Are you for real?

I was refering to homosexuals.

It amounts to the same thing...granted it was not only blacks that had to sit in the back of the bus -- we just make a big deal about it like the Jews do about the Holocaust -- it was anyone who was not white.

Homosexuals just use it as a method for attention.. Most of em.. Theres an obvious gay guy in my school who really tries to talk like a girl, have girle moves and stuff like that. I have more respect for a stray dog than people like that.

Let's just say, wading through all the stupid arguing and people taking apart each other unfortunately for MS this kind of PR gets spun way out of control and you end up with things like this - http://www.gamer.tm/news.php?id=3442

Shame really for MS if it is in their T&C, you know, the thing you have to agree with BEFORE signing up?

It's a bloody games console, not someone trying to take away your civil rights as a human being. If it's in their T&C everyone is subject to it, making things equal.

There are gays who do take it a bit to far, it's so they can stand out more...but that happens everywhere.

What we need, is a Hetrosexual Pride Parade; that is the only thing I think is unfair that we don't have a day like they do!

The difference is i dont think "the gays" would have a problem with a Straight pride day/

I think she should of also got a code of conduct. She didn't have to put it in her bio. She could of just told people who tried to hit on her or if she was getting messages she could leave bad feedback and block communications. It was taken to a whole new level anyways.

But it begs the question why would you want a Straight pride day, everything is targeted towards straight people thesedays, tv, adverts, magazines, movies, music, you dont get discriminated against because you are straight.

Yeah me too so we can run around in our normal clothes, act normal, hold banners stating straight people forever and no makeup, stupid shaped dresses, musical chairs with every song being steps or dance acts.

Cant wait...what date did you say this was happening? I am sooooooooooo there. :ninja:

Read that article earlier, pretty disgusted by it really.

But, I do get discriminated against...because I am black -- not fully black mind you as I am mixed: Scottish, French, Jamaican.

Discrimination is a thing of the past, but some idiots cannot let go of the past, and pass their hate to their off springs... Sad really.

I don't like all males from all races!

But I love all females from all races!

I respect everyone and ignore everyone who is disrespectful. I'm color blind to race.

But, I do get discriminated against...because I am black -- not fully black mind you as I am mixed: Scottish, French, Jamaican.

Yeah but you dont get discriminated against because you are straight so having a Straight Pride day makes no sense, just like having a White Pride day when black people were the minority and discriminated against.

The funny thing is that I have had "I am straight" and "Neowin Heterosexual" in my Neowin profile since 2001. As well as in my Xbox Live profile also. I don't understand why people get so offended anyway. It seems like everything offends everyone nowadays. I honestly never seem to be offended at anything. Be it racist remarks, sexual harassment, put-downs. I could really care less what people say or do.

In regards to the gays, why are people offended over a person's sexual orientation. Is it because they don't want children to see stuff like that? Why? They don't want gay people influencing their straight kids? I'm sorry I don't see how a gay person can influence someone to become a homosexual. And vice-versa, I also don't see homosexuals influenced by straight people. It doesn't work like that.

I think the average person just finds gays more "creepy" than regular "weirdos". Which is stupid. 6 Billion rational and irrational minds thinking in this world, it makes people have all kinds of views and feelings about everything. People have to lighten up, not care so much, and let everyone think for themselves.

Yeah but you dont get discriminated against because you are straight so having a Straight Pride day makes no sense, just like having a White Pride day when black people were the minority and discriminated against.

Well, technically if you go by the following:

blacks and everyone who is not white is actually a majority on the planet.

white is the minority.

And, anyways, it was just blacks who were discriminated against, it was everyone who was not white.

So, anyone can still be discriminated against, regardless of ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Yeah i didnt mean to cause any offense, in American and the UK black people were in the minority and you didnt have white pride day once the opression of black people was over that was the point i was trying to get across, there is no white pride day just like there is no Straight pride day.

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
