Clarification about /accent gypsy

[Devin]

Very. For example, we were three romanians guys infront of LSCH, havin' a talk. Then a guy came, and switched his accent to gypsy and started talking around. Ofcourse we did not get offended at all, because we are not what he is claiming we are, but it's not nice.

And, HQ, /accent is meant to encourage roleplaying...tell me how is calling romanians gypsies encouraging roleplays.
But, why HQ has implemented this if you see people MAY get offended? Just to have some fun,right?

Was your post intentionally designed to shit on HQ because you took offense to a word on a game?

[Jeremy.]

You're all talking drama and shit. Can anyone enlighten me about the purpose of this kind of accent? Is it promoting roleplay? You talk about kids but actually it's veteran players who do it. Go chek the logs, you'll be surprised.

How hard is it to understand that no one is paying attention to your bs. Come up with something constructive instead, who cares if people call you Chav?

[Mikal]

If I recall there is also a redneck accent, I haven't seen any Americans moaning thus far.

who cares if people call you Chav?

Isn't it the same thing like saying "Who cares if people call you gipsy?"

[Cofiliano]

Gypsy accent has nothing to do with Romanians bro. There are gypsy all over Europe, lots of them in Balkan countries.. The fact some people call Romanians gypsies is something completely different.

A message can only be offensive if the party reading it makes it offensive in their mind, a message online from a stranger holds no merit to even be classed as offensive. Sadly this is the internet and people should really learn to move on and ignore things that "offend" them.

   The thing is that as I stated above, it's as offensive as being called a Nazi as a German. Yes, I am aware that the Nazi thing is no way as bad as the Gypsie one, with all the war crimes and other atrocities commited, but it is as offensive to them being called Nazi as it is offensive to us, Romanians, being called gypsies, and I really really hope actions will be taken against this, there's no point in being called names and stuff and things I am not! And not related to! Everytime I reported this, and not only me, no actions were taken. I'm not blaming the Staff or arguing right now, but I really want to make you aware of the fact that it's really really damn offensive to us and we would like at least minimal actions to be taken against this! It's very frustrating..

Some people get offended too easily..
Just ignore it, if they want use that as a provocation you can easily get away from them.. That's it. If they want to call you that, let them do it. If you get offended feel free to /report..

Just like no one is paying attention to your cries for attention, I would be constructive but this pretty laughable, no one cares that people call me chav, same as no one should care about people calling you gypsy, you choose to cry about it then thats your choice, your just giving the people who do /accent gypsy to offend you ammunition to do it more, it wasn't put in the game to offend you, same as the /accent retarded but that kind of seems suitable now.

Where did "HQ" encourage people to call romanians gypsy? Where in the script is the /accent romanian gypsy?
How shall we know people will take offense to a script before it is created? Are we mind readers?

I already gave you information regarding that but you chose to ignore everyones message and rather be upset about something on an online game.

I've already said in the main post that people call romanians "gypsy" daily, I don't have an issue with that at all. I even barely report it because it's not worth it. I'm not paying attention. The fact that this kind of accent is implemented clearly for trolling/provoking and of course zero RP purposes is what made me post this topic.

So does "Redneck and Retarded" accent. They don't bring any kind of roleplay purpose in the server and yet no one is crying about it.

Maybe HQ expected the community to be mature enough to not get salty for such a thing?

It wasn't implemented to provoke nobody, it's for fun. People using it to troll others can always be reported and punished.

So you are saying the retarded accent is only for trolling and provoking too? A message can only be provocative if the person takes offense to it. Because it upset you instead of not using the function "gypsy" you will rather call for a removal of it as it could offend people that are too easily offended?

[Liviu.]

You are all saying to get over it.
We did,multiple times,didnt even report them.
But now it has crossed the line.
Bring me a German guy, i'll call him nazi,let's see if he gets offended or not.
