Posting of crap like this I mean, we all know why ms bans that sort of thing and it's been discussed at length on numerous occassions before.

There's dimwits who think that censoring of any kind is against all that we stand for.

There are dimwits who think that censoring should be placed everywhere.

Then there's the sensible bunch in the middle, who ms are deciding to toe this sensible business line.

I haven't even clicked the link because I can guess it's related to gamer tags with dodgy words in being banned? Well, why the hell do you think their banned. Honestly you lot, you have a go at crappy media, then you fuel the fire yourselves.

This stupid argument doesn't have a leg to stand on. Xbox live is a community GAMING service, not a place for us all to demonstrate how homosexual, black, african or white we are or all the rest of them.

You know the drill don't play the tool.

Firstly 'lesbian' is not a dodgy word. Its even less dodgy than gay or homosexnual, neither of which are dodgy words.

Secondly it was in her profile, not in her gamertag.

Thirdly, maybe she is proud of her sexuality? Why the heck not?

 

I can understand many things being banned, however banning even the mentioning of sexuality is just over the top.

I can't believe Richard Gaywood got banned! That is too funny hahaha!

Serious note, this is completely prejudice. Who gets offended by lesbians anyway? Only in America...

 

 So you really think it's OK for a person straight or otherwise to be advertising their sexual orientation on Xbox Live?

Honestly here, not being silly.

 

I'm not offended by it, couldn't give a rats arse. But it's just not the place for it. There are rules everywhere in society that may not seem like a big deal.

For someone who doesn't give a rat's arse about it, you sure have some harsh words for it :

- Stupid cow

- Pathetic woman

- Perverted sad little kicks

 

 You misinterpret my sentiments.

I'm offended by people like this woman, hence those complimentative lables.

 

Think of it this way, Microsoft could just say...."Right ok, we've got some attention seeking idot making the service look bad with her profile"...

Let's just remove profiles altogether!!!!

 

Is this the sort of thing you want? No, well grow up then and accept there has to be some rules to generally keep things clean.

frankly...the only reason to even say you are a lesbian on your thing is for attention. she got it...this is what she wanted...probably even went around saying "hey guess what...im a lesbian, im a lesbian"

you cant say that because you dont know... neather do i... and i think that this is discrimination.. pure and simple...all IMO and all i can get from the article.

If I put that I was heterosexual in my profile, Would M$ ban me too?

I don't think so. And this is exactly the problem IMO.

Yes, it's because Microsoft hates lesbians, "only in America," etc. etc. /yawn

That would be interesting to test out. Of course, we'd need someone willing to risk his XBox Live account being suspended. Any volunteers?

 



Signature goes here!

 Why would anyone put their sexuality on their Xbox Live profile?

Why? Proud?!!! What's to be proud of, we're all interested in something. Should I be proud for having 2 eyes a nose and a mouth? lol

What about if I'm into beastiality which is legal in a couple of 3rd world countries?

Swinging?

Homosexual group orgies?

Where do you draw the line?

At least come up with a decent argument as to why this woman is in the right. . Xbox Live is a gaming service...

I'm sure the woman has heard of FACEBOOK! A well known social networking site

Not a dating agency.

Sex should not be a part of Xbox Live - common sense!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what this girl did and honestly MS are very wrong for treating her this way.

Why should she have to pretend she is something she is not? Like already said, this was in her profile, you know the thing that is supposed to be "About You"?

She did just that, gave some info about herself and she was punished for it.

I can guarantee you if someone profile says "Straight" MS would do nothing.

Now really, is that fair?

This girl isn't the problem here, the problem is the whiny little homophobes who hold themselves on some sort of pedestal.
