hey great idea, we want equality, that means we’re more equal then you and can still bash you.

Ah, the self-righteous progressive political cause of the moment. I so enjoy the politicization of my gaming experience. Its exactly why people game, to immerse themselves even more into the political fray and not for an opportunity to escape it all.

But since we have already gone there, I will comment. However, before I do, let me know when is the conference on discrimination against noobs? I mean, after all, homosexuals make up only something like 4% of the general population and at least 30% of people playing any particular game online at any given time is a noob. Or, more seriously, what about women, which comprise roughly 50% of the population and are much more often a subject of hostilities?

But really, while I certainly deplore ribald language and crass gestures, I’ve always seen the neologism “homophobic” as rather inane. Literally, it means an intense and irrational fear of homosexuals. However, most people who object to the normalization of homosexuality in society do not do so based on some irrational fear, but because they have religious/moral objections. How about some of that legendary leftist “tolerance” for those of us which do not share your ideological predilections by reframing from political endorsements? Or is all of that tolerance already spent on people who have sexual predilections different than your own?
