Wasting your time with something that will never change. Just move on down the road lad and it will be water under the bridge. As soon as you rid one, another will take his place. This is the matrix.

I dunno, they seemed pretty scared when I said I was gonna report them for homophobia. Shame I couldn't follow up on it.

And as for wasting my time, too many people have that attitude and that's why discrimination persists. You don't turn a blind eye to that kind of thing. I will always report it when I can.

This time it was me, a man in his late 30s, old enough to have a thick skin about most things, but next time they could surround a lonely kid struggling with his/her identity and that kind of thing is enough to send them over the edge.

If you are on Xbox, you can easily save the last 5 minutes of audio and video by holding down the Xbox button in the middle for a few moments. Then you can refer back to it for names as well as proof for Microsoft and Rare of other people’s actions in game.

Thanks but I'm on PC. I deliberately disabled the Game DVR on Windows 10's Xbox Game Bar (as well as Nvidia Shadowplay) because both can cause performance issues.

I appreciate the suggestion and, for once, I did wish I was playing on my Xbox One.

@realstyli why can't you just ignore it and move along? Don't get why your making a big deal over nothing. You are acting like a 12 year old who just got called stupid.

I feel like I've already explained. What part of my zero tolerance approach to homophobia and racism do you disagree with specifically?

@realstyli What part of, too bad deal with it don't you understand?

@goatseathumans said in Sooner the better recent players gets fixed:

The part where you think homophobia and racism is acceptable.

Listen, I get called a fair few things in games, I get it. I have a thick skin for most things. I'm Irish, I get the "potato" response all the time, I get called all the names under the sun. I'm old, I've heard it all. But I do not tolerate homophobia and racism. People need to learn, it is NOT okay to use terms like that.

They are dealing with it. They are taking action because that behavior is not okay. What realstyli does about it should not bother you.

I think we may be wasting our time. Judging for their past posts, I can guess what community they came in from.

I had a guy on my crew once who said he dispised people using the word ‘fa**it’ and he always reported people for using it.

He then used ‘fa**it’ to mock every crew we sank over the next 2 hours. I recorded him saying it and reported him, no idea if he was banned or not, although Microsoft did thank me for the report.

That's a shame. I've hear inappropriate speech in-game quite often. Remember that there are a lot of immature boys who play this game (and most games). Not that they are the only guilty party. But they make up the lion's share of the problem.

Yeah. My actual tolerance for "inappropriate speech" is actually quite high. I swear like a... er... sailor myself in real life. So I don't really take much notice of being called certain things - the M word, the C word, the A word.

It's only when people cross the line into what is clearly discrimination that I take action. The first line about "oh, it's gay Bob Ross" made it clear to me exactly why his buddies used the F word following it, it wasn't accidental.

Don't expect homophobia, racism or sexism to disappear from the Sea any time soon.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect miracles, like in real life, but every little helps and I'd rather fight it than lie down.

@realstyli They should probably work on there insults, I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with being gay and I think Bob Ross is amazing!!!

I'm not gay myself and, to be honest, I probably would have let that one slide as immature humour on the lad's part if it wasn't for the chants of the F word after that.

So what's wrong with Gay bob Ross? If they are brits then Gay is first and foremost the word for happy.

I don't really see calling you a happy bob ross an insult to be honest.

And, as I said in a reply above, I would have likely let that one slide as immature humour if it wasn't for the chants of the F slur that made it clear it was meant as a homophobic insult.

@realstyli You should have maybe started out with that?

Fairly sure it was in my anecdote in my OP. I tried to be as concise as possible and gave an account of the events in order of when they happened.

I said:

Ran into a few random teens (I'm guessing their ages and they were British, going by their accents) on the Ferry of the Damned and when they saw my ginger afro haired and bearded pirate one exclaimed "Oh look, it's gay Bob Ross", followed by two of his mates shouting the slur beginning with F over and over.

@realstyli

The drain from Nvidia' shadowplay if you are playing and saving to SSD is miniscule.
I have tested it on and off, and it's like 2 fps for me on a 1060.

If you still dont' want to use that, the screenshot works, so you can try that cntrl print screen.

And yes, it will be nice to have recent player lists for identifying pirates!

In hindsight, yeah, I should have taken a screenshot.

Shadowplay is likely not a big deal, as you say, in this game. I have a 1060 6GB and it does have plenty of headroom at 1080p. But it's more for other more demanding games that I turned it off, games where even 2 frames makes all the difference. And I'm admitting totally that I am too lazy to turn it on and off depending on game.

The amount of political correctness in this thread is outstanding!

Political correctness has nothing to do with it. It's human decency and empathy.

So what do you do in the streets when some one says the exact same thing? Call the cops?

I don't know where you live but here homophobia and racism are considered hate crimes, so yes I would.

I swear we live in the weakest society that has ever been known to man. Maybe if all these tenderonis actually acted like men society wouldn't be so easily offended by any and everything. Who cares what someone says, its words and if words cut you down then you probably need some toughing up.

Spoken like someone who has never had to deal with homophobic or racial discrimination on a daily basis. When you hear these things over and over, ad nauseum, it can hurt. I have friends who are gay and I've heard stories about how they were nearly driven to take their own lives over things like this. What you think is trivial is not. Gotta love the implied toxic masculinity, well done.

No matter the outcome it will never change. Xbox, rare and anyone else cannot control or enforce what someones going to say. They will say it here they will say it there. It's not going to stop, so dont waste your time. This is crying over spilt milk.

It certainly won't stop if people do nothing about it. Apathy is not going to help things get better.

Dont like what other people are saying just mute them and go on. This is why the options have been put into a game.

And they move on to attack someone else? Nah, thanks, I think I'll deal with them.

And the people flying the flag to instigate are just as guilty as the guys that are name calling.

Is it entrapment? Sure, but if they take the bait, they have themselves to blame.
