Discrimination
 
Okay, this has become a much bigger issue in the past week.

There are a few troll members who are continously making derogatory comments about Nadia and her sexuality, saying things like 'she should kill herself' for being transexual and making jokes about her sexuality and referring to her as 'he' and 'it'.

It's disgusting, ignorant, and should not be tolerated. I don't know how the issue is being handled but this type of behavior deserves a major infraction/ban in my opinion. It's offensive and it needs to stop.

I agree actually. And I really don't understand the big deal either...who really cares whether someone is a real man/woman or not?

Jords 03-09-2010 11:49 PM

Ive not seen anything but probably just missing it, definitely deserves an infraction.

spitfire 03-09-2010 11:52 PM

It's someones opinion.Free speech and all that.

Why are you doing it then? :hugesmile:

Transphobic comments are against the rules, and will not be tolerated, if you see anything that breaks the rules, report it and it will be dealt with.

wow...just wow...im no under illusion, i know there's loads of people out there who are racist, but what good is it being nasty and saying it, we are all equal. you can be racist or homophobic but it turns to discrimination when you act on your prejudice, The OP is right, why do you think discrimination is against the law then

onecolu 04-09-2010 12:18 AM

iRyan should be infracted for his OP in this thread, don't speak about Nadia like that and think you can get away with it.

onecolu 04-09-2010 12:19 AM

:P

Vicky. 04-09-2010 12:19 AM

Posts like that are given infractions yes.

We can't read every post though, so if you see anything that you think is breaking any of the rules, please report it :)

Everybody from the 313 put your mother*****g hands up and follow me!

Patrick 04-09-2010 03:19 AM

I can't believe what a ***** I use to be when I called her a he one time, it was a typo once though.

But I'm not like that anymore you see.

People should s.t.f.u Yeah I said it x And learn to accept Nadia for being a woman and that but I did LMFAO so hard when Nikki was like 'Maybe she's on her period' and Brian was like 'Ah... Yeah okay.. unlikely.. but yeah..'

Text speak is also against the rules but you do that as well.

We can either speak freely or we can't.Freedom of speech is,as it says on the tin.Freedom to speak about whatever you want.

That isn't hate speech, it's whatever incites prejudice against a certain race, gender etc. There are laws against it, of course freedom of speech has to be allowed, but it should be subject to limitations

That's because you're ignorant and prejudice.
