Hey guys... My first post here.
I LOVE (LOOOOOVE) L4D and I play it all the time, but I am really getting sick to death of the in-game racist jokes and commentary regarding Louis. What century is this again???
It's sad that I keep having to quit games or remove "friends" because that sort of behavior makes me very uncomfortable.

Century of shit and more shit. But as human kind is stupid enough it will only evolve to get more weapon/thing based on it, then somehow it will make the live better of people ( or at least they will think it), meaning that all that people will do in the future it's = getting worse.
Also, this comment was not a joke or something of that kind.

What about all the jokes about Bill's 'nam flashbacks and drug addiction, or how Zoey is always a whore? Do those bother you at all?

Yeah its sad but the reality is that people feel they can do/say anything because they are hiding behind the mask of the internet. The truly pathetic thing is most people wouldnt say 1% of the shit they spew from their shitty little mouths if they were standing face to face with you. Its abolutely amazing how many times people use the word nigger (among other things). When you know full well if they were playing split screen in a room with you, they wouldnt make a sound.
But, alas, that is the way of the internet and todays younger generation. Its a generation without consequences. And playing internet video games is just a starting point.

It will never stop. You're just gonna have to get a sense a humor and hope things don't get too bad. Usually the games I play the worst is fired chicken related. If that offends you I would suggest not going on the internet anymore.

In addition to using racism, the shit talking is a little out of hand too. My little cousin plays with my friends and me once in a while, and he gets so down by people calling him a "f***ing noob" and "scrub" and "terribad;" whatever combination you want to use. What happened to people saying "nice try" and "good job." It's rare, but it needs to happen more often.
I don't mind the whole "Hey you're Louis, you're going to get your arse handed to you" or anything stipulating that it's "always the black guy who dies first". It's a joke based on the predictability of Hollywood somehow always killing off the black guy and that kind of joke isn't limited to the inernet - For example I remember an occurrence of it on "Scrubs" a while back.
If it's actually real racist jokes, as in something that could be considered offensive then yeah, cut that crap out. Personally I haven't encountered it in Left 4 Dead.

My personal slogan has become GRABBIN PEELS every time I play because I always play Louis- some might interpret this as a racist joke, but it isn't at all. It's a joke based on how he speaks, just like if someone else said something funny I would make fun of them.
The only really racist thing I can think of anyone saying (and HAVE heard) is people saying "SHIT I'M LOUIS I DONT WANT TO PLAY THE BLACK GUY" only they usually use a more offensive term or two. And yeah, that's bullshit. I agree.

People whom take offense to such words at a level more then a joke need to stick there head up the true ass of society instead of there own self proclaimed reality they have created for them selves.
Get real honestly, Do you take offense if i made fun of religion, your political views, & swearing at old nuns? This is the Internet the only thing that is changing here is the elevation of porn sites and how fast you can download it.
Speaking of which anyone seen that left4head video? I'd link it but..i cant..:(

I'm so sick of people who take offense to language. Punch someone in the face, or burn someone for a hate crime then and only then can you take offense to anything. It's like you're just asking for one more reason for people to feel sorry for you.

It depends on the severity of the joke. Like Try said, "The black guy always dies first" would be a reference to Hollywood always mysteriously killing the black guy first. But when you throw in the N word or other things related, that's a bit too far.
I agree with theBOOMking, I have seen racism all over L4D. Heavy use of the N word mostly. Same goes with all online games.

Personally, as long as it doesn't get to the point of absolute KKK level racism, I'll chuckle if it's in good taste. The worst I've ever heard in a single game was a joke, and not even directed at Louis. "Aww, I got stuck with Bitch-Tits again! Why can't she just use her super-whore powers to make the zombies not attack her?"
CarrionSwarmJosh
02-22-2009, 06:12 PM
The constantly make fun of each other's stereotypes, even in the actual game, so it's all the same.

Let's face it, people are never going to stop making racist jokes. I don't see anything wrong with racist jokes, as long as their not truly racist. Oh, and for some reason, it seems like you guys are only seeing this as black and white. You do realize there are other races right? For example, this is one of my favorite jokes to tell online: I just found out my great-grandfather died in a concentration camp. Yeah.... He fell out of a guard tower. It was really tragic.
I don't see anything wrong with racist jokes, as long as their "used responsibly" :P
LordTommy
02-22-2009, 07:31 PM
Different races = different opinions... means diversity ==> leads to character and uniqueness
Lack of different races = uniformity, lack of unique character...
different races and different opinions = racism, because one race is going to think they are better.. that's how their self-esteem works.
Lack of superiority = lack of motivation = depressed people who don't do anything.
Superiority = racism = idea some people find offensive because they want everyone to be the same.. but then do what ever it takes to be unique...
Theres a vicious cycle in there in which racism ends up becoming important to society and all that or what not.
Anyway.... taking racist jokes personally online is like taking everything griefers say seriously, trolls..
I mean, do you really get angry when people say "Your mom" or crap like that?

I think it's absurd how upset people get over racist stuff towards blacks. I've never heard of whites bitching about being in a joke -- White=cracker. Case and Point. You only give a shit because we enslaved them, and you're making a big fucking deal over humor. It's easy to tell if someone's actually racist. If they're just cracking jokes, quit bitching and quitting games, just laugh along with 'em. I'm sure you'll probably just call me racist because i just implied blacks were bitching--- but people calling "Racists!" get nowhere. does skin color really matter? no. Does making jokes that include stereotypes about skin color matter either? No, unless you're a whiny bitch that needs to grow some humor and stop complaining about the jokes of society- stop lamenting over the "pitfalls" of society and include yourself in the laughs. I said bitch 4 times. I must be sexist. Damn.
In my personal experience, people use racism together with sarcasm when speaking regarding Louis.
"A Hunter killed Louis.
- Just because I'm black right?"
If this offends you, you dont know sarcasm/irony or maybe you just needs to loosen up on your own views.

Gotta love the custom sound pack for Louis, "Grabbin some motha fuckin pills" It's the classic stereotype the media supports and encourages. If you don't like hearing people in game talk smack about the black guy then your best bet is to mute them, if his comments are effecting his game play and threatening the team just kick the bastard. Otherwise, racism is here and will remain forever. Louis isn't the only one who gets made fun of in game.

You couldn't be more right about that one. All my friends make all kinds of racist jokes towards white people and when I bring up how they would feel if white people were saying all those things about them, they have a problem. I've always noticed this. I mean can anyone seriously think of a case where a black person was being sued/arrested for being racist towards a white person????

Im half black. Get ur jokes out. As long as its not serious shit. A little black joke here and there, wont hurt anyone. Just as black people make jokes about white poeple, or chinese make jokes about..i dont know who. Take it easy. And what about the word Nigger. Who cares, black people use it all the time for each other, but when a white dude uses it, its racism. What about the word whitey, shall we all cry if they call white poeple whitey or white chocolat, no u dont, do u? as long as it doest get out of hand, its ok in my opinion. Jokes about the different races have been part of our society and always will be. The same for blondes. who hasnt ever ever used a blonde joke, i think everyone has. be ashamed if u did ;P lol. We are all different. Black people are the better athletes but have in general a smaller IQ(doenst mean they are dumber, just resources differently allocated) asian cant drink alcohol and are small, but look at them when they try to kick ur arse, dude, then ure fucked. White poeple are alrounders, good intelligence, good athletic compisition(kind in between all races). who cares, we are different, equal but different, so lets not be picky if one makes a little joke about ones skin color or whatever. PErsonaly, ive never been victim of any racism, and ive been all over the world, maybe its just due to my nosensitiveness to racism. Maybe i just dont see it. But let me tell u something. Its only offending if u feel offended and if u dont care about it, they people will stop. U moms told u about that, and they are always right. If u get slaped, then give ur other cheeck to be slaped, it will get boring really quick and poeple will stop. Yes they will.

Honestly people, it's the internet. It's not like it used to be. As more and more people gain access to it, there will be more and more children thinking its cool to make fun of blacks. I personally have a friend whos a racist and im totally tolerant with that. just grin and bear it, or join in on the fun, its your only two options....

I experience liberal use of the "n" word a LOT. Also people tagging with racist cartoons, etc. In fact a couple weeks ago, I jumped into a game as Louis and was immediately shot to death by the other players as they repeatedly spammed: "DIE FILTHY N*****!!!" If THAT'S not hateful and gross, I don't know what is...
Listen, I'm a big free-speech guy (and I'm perfectly fine with the "black guy dies first" jokes or funny comments about some of the things he says, etc., but there is a stigma about the use of THAT particular word and it's just a sensitivity issue. The people using those words don't think for a second that the people they're playing with might also be black. There's just this assumption that those comments are perfectly acceptable because L4D (and games like it) have generated a realm of anonymity where they can hide behind their screen name.

The word "nigger" brings with it a history of using the word to oppress a group of people. It's still a venomous word used to put down black people. When you use racial epithets geared toward the "dominant" race in America (i.e., light-skinned, white Americans), there is less of an effect there because often you can distance yourself from "cracker" and "redneck" and simply state that that's not me, I'm not a redneck/cracker. There's no history and there's no relevance. It's difficult to put down people who happen to be lucky enough to be in a group that implicitly enjoys the benefits of being white, conspicuous or not.
This is NOT to say that all white people in America and abroad enjoy a privileged, worry-free existence. It's one aspect of your life that you happen to have passive membership. We all have aspects of our life that can be categorized as an "oppressed" group. If you can relate to people through this, I believe that people would understand what it means to be oppressed for something you can't change in your life and how inherently unfair it is.
tl;dr think about shit that people oppress you for. if you're short or earn lower-middle to lower income levels or are balding or any other number of things you can't avoid, doesn't it feel terrible having to hear people talk shit about aspects of your life that you can't or have a hard time changing? this is what it feels like to be oppressed.

Unfortunately for some (people who were sadly dished out two anal glands rather than a humour one) the current trend in comedy is to continually push the boundries of what is considered to be socially acceptable. As kisho pointed out some people are unfortunate enough to stumble across the line at the wrong time and get super-fucked for it.
You just have to accept that valve made a game whereby there are 2 white guys, 1 woman and 1 black guy; thus making him stand out for potential race orientated jokes and zoey being the obvious choice for sexist/rape orientated whore jokes.
it's just the way it is people,you just need to make sure you keep it in good humour and if you are offended make a joke about the white suvivors cocks not being big enough to repopulate the world and zoey (the whore that she is) simply wanting to chow down on lester brown or something.

It's true, but not for me. Everything I say on the game is exactly what I would say IRL. I don't hide behind a digital mask.
not true. I say most of the things online that I do in real life. I say nigger. not all the time. it comes out.
OK, What I meant was not all people wouldnt say shit IRL. But the people who go on and on and on and its nigger this and nigger that, those are the people that im talking about. And it isnt always racism that I feel people wouldnt say IRL either. Alot of times its just people yelling at others and acting like all around d-bags. I would say anything I say on the internet IRL as well, but im not spoutin off racial slurs and other bullshit 24/7.

Stop bitching.
[Im not racist im pointing out how people are observed ingame]
Francis is a gay biker
Bill is an old cunt
Zoey is a whore
And Louis is a nigger
People are only racist because
A)It's not real people
B)If used in a jokey term can get some lolz.
Aslong as you dont mean it and at night dont dress up in white and burn anyone who isnt a W.A.S.P then stop bitching.

Yeah its sad but the reality is that people feel they can do/say anything because they are hiding behind the mask of the internet. The truly pathetic thing is most people wouldnt say 1% of the shit they spew from their shitty little mouths if they were standing face to face with you. Its abolutely amazing how many times people use the word nigger (among other things). When you know full well if they were playing split screen in a room with you, they wouldnt make a sound.
But, alas, that is the way of the internet and todays younger generation. Its a generation without consequences. And playing internet video games is just a starting point.
your absolutely right most of you flamers ain't gonna say the stuff they normally say when I'm 2feet away from them i want more people that think before they speak or type i sometimes really get pissed when a 12 year old says he's gonna kick your ass hilarious but oh so annoying

i know all u guys are down with the whole internets "serious business" shit, but come on. the majority of people you play with that are "racist", you will never play with again.
all you have to think is:
1. They're trying to be funny and are doing a horrible job at it.
2.It's a game.

Fact: Racism will never go away. It's in blacks songs, its in comedians jokes(including EVERY race of comedian) its in your games, its in your internet, and EVEN YOUR CHILDHOOD BOOKS.

Its everywhere. Simple solution...GET OVER IT.
It's like those annoying ads you see on websites everywhere "4/10 people get this question right" well..
7/10 people in this world have gotten over racism...have you?

I don't see what everyones problem is. If you are seriously that offended by it, kick them. If that doesn't work, mute them. Even then if you're not satisfied, turn off your xbox and cry yourself to sleep.

How this went beyond a page is odd but seriously, OH SHIT I'M RACIST TO A GAME CHARACTER. Well I AM, get over it. I make all kinds of racial slurs towards Louis it's not offensive because he doesn't exist. My favorite is leaving my team behind and yelling BrB Crackers getting some fried chicken and some BBQ.

I love it when I drop the n-bomb. Somebody always whines, and my friends and I continue to drop it until they either...
a) get a sense of humor
or b) leave the server
The funny part is, they don't realize I'm part black. I dont care about racist jokes, the fact is that most sources of humor are so worn out that people have to push it to get a laugh. I never get offended, after all it is always just for laughs, if they were serious they would be at a rally instead of on l4d. Think about that next time you complain about somebody being a racist, crackers. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to KFC.

I think this is a good way to get this out of our systems and solve the problem. Everyone who cares when people say nigger, or cracker, or any other slur just start calling each other niggers or crackers or whatever you please, there should be a place set aside to do that until everyone realizes that they are just words. I HAVE AN IDEA, LETS USE L4D ONLINE TO DO THAT!!!

Don't judge a group of people based on individuals.
Don't mistreat a group of people based on individuals.
Saying racism will always as exist as an excuse to justify it's practice is despicable. Racism may always exist because of realities of human nature, but that does not make it right.
until everyone realizes that they are just words
But you forgot something, words have meanings. Ignoring the meanings of the words and the histories associated with them is foolish and short sighted. I don't think the "n word" used in any context is right.
Imagine if white people started to call each other Nazis almost like a new form of "dude" or "man". "What's up my Nazis?" Yeah, I'd be as offended as hell. CHANGING THE CONTEXT DOES NOT CHANGE THE MEANING.
Don't flaunt or promote ignorance. The end of racism ends with each of us stepping up and being a better person. I don't think that is too much to ask.
EDIT: Oh, and notice how I didn't specify my racial background? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who is talking, it doesn't matter what context. Words have meaning.

Yeah due to the new wave of users and sudden 4chan remake I guess it is just time to leave for awhile.Well it was good until the cancer arrived.Which seems to happen to every website.A meme and a SUCCESSFUL troll is funny every once in awhile but not every thread.
That was the point, people wont freak out about me saying cracker
That's becuase "crackers" are the majority and they do not have the same experience as African Americans in this country.
