Halo 4 permaban for sexism

[eliasfrost]

Throughout the world, women are beaten, harassed, threatened, raped and killed everyday, and in more than half the cases the perpetrators doesn't get any form of punishment.

The level of disagreement I have for this is too high to handle. While they don't get CORRECT punishment, they do get it. In my opinion, any male along these lines deserves to have his penis chopped off with a dull axe.


As for Nakidno, I am aware that some insults cross the border into harassment. But it's happen towards male vs male as well, not just male vs female. Mainly because men don't take it seriously. I'm not saying women do, but in a general sense, I'm sure you can agree with me that it does, otherwise this would not be happening in the first place. I, for one, have had opponents who had spewed some rancid statements, but I didn't take it seriously and if it went TOO far, I had reported them. So I have to say it's fair in the gaming world when it comes down to gender bias in insults. I understand the difference between insults and harassment. I'd just hate to see this "power for females" cause a player to get banned for saying something like "Get back in the kitchen" when it's equally offensive saying to a male, "Grow some balls". I just hope 343 sees the difference and doesn't go on an absurd banning spree.

TL;DR: There is a difference between insults and harassment. But I don't want to see people getting banned for the simplest things said. But it's nice to see that they are trying to better the community. http://fatuglyorslutty.com/ is a perfect example of harassment that I do NOT condone at all. I am for this if these are the reported examples.

That has been adressed (male vs male), the thing here is that sexism hasn't been addressed as insults until now. And a lot of people oppose it for different reasons.

This is going to seem like a dick reply, but it's probably the truth:



Do you have any idea how boring that would be?



Not making any jokes at all would greatly
take away from the fun of a game. It's reflects the fun of competitive
nature, and it's all just made in good fun without intention to hurt
most of the time.



As I said before, and you agreeing, there is a fine line between jokes,
and insults. If you're really that worried, then keep your "talk" within
line, and unless someone is super over-sensitive they'll take it in
good fun.



If they still get offended after that, then I'm sorry to say this, but
they really are being overly dramatic to have been affected, because any
joke which is kept behind such a line will never be perceived as
insulting to a person with common sense.



Since one means no harm, one could always still apologize if one runs
into one of these types of people if it really bothers them that they
accidentally offended someone..

It would be boring to the people that are used to insult people but a relief to those who are fed up with insults. I respect your opinion but it seems we are just going back and forth with this specific topic.
