Is This Studying Hate Speech, or Just Intellectualized Trolling? - General

A few of guys and girls created Xbox Live accounts (and various internet message boards) making it clear that they are Muslim, homosexual, black, women, etc. They then monitored the results to see what people would say and how much hate speech they would get. They got a lot and documented it in a video. What do you think of this?

No this is just bullshit, because there's nothing to study here. If you have any bit of a brain, you know that you're going to get responses like this sooner than later.

I would like to hear the actual recordings

I didn't expect any better, people are being bred to be Muslim-hating and gay-bashing radicals among other things.

Well they did pick the worst gaming communities they could possibly find.

more fucking wacky topography shit stop that it works for short periods of time when you are trying to be cinematic and nothing else

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;28721640]Well they did pick the worst gaming communities they could possibly find.[/QUOTE] Third worst, you forget about CoD and Supreme Commander.

who the fuck insults people based on their usernames? on facepunch(from what i've seen) we only insult bad usernames if the poster is a bad poster

i love how dota forums seem to have an abundance in sociologists and physiologists.

Don't people use "hate speech" like this to pretty much anybody on XBL or pretty much on any online game? Making one's screen name "GayPride90" is obviously only going to attract more attention and cause more "hateful comments." Regardless, this isn't a big surprise to anyone, at least it shouldn't be.

wouldn't most people think gaypride90 is a joke

[QUOTE=Chemtex;28722043]wouldn't most people think gaypride90 is a joke[/QUOTE] agreed, it sounds more like a joke name! no homosexual with actual pride would call himself something like that

I bet most of the people that said that stuff were your average 13 year old XBL players...Most people are like that at that age now, just gotta wait for them to grow up.

People will make fun of anything online. Call yourself proud_2have_a_dick and people will make fun of your dick, hatespeech? Go by the name I_wear_blue_shirts people will rage at blue shirts. Welcome to the fucking world... (I won't even say welcome to the internet, this is true anywhere there are human beings)

What the fuck at the part with the girl? What's the message? Some of the posts she's read were right. Men and women are different, for instance: men are statistically better in chess. And? Am I a sexist for reading the statistics out loud or the statistics are sexist? This "correctness no matter what" is bullshit. Just because I say that 2 things are different doesn't mean that I despise either of them. This is retarded on so many levels. When you say that women and men have different body structure it's alright but when you say that they have different skills, SEXISM WAAAAH!!!!

The gaypride90 bit was just unfair to the players. "faggot" and "cock-sucker" are words that are thrown around like nothing online. Not really hate speech.

[QUOTE=thisispain;28732356]"i'm just saying statistics i'm going to imply everyone's an idiot except me and pretend that i'm not trying to make some misogynist point under the guise of statistics."[/QUOTE] The point flew way over your head... I mean, you didn't comprehend any of it except the statistic part.

[QUOTE=Silly Sil;28738635]The point flew way over your head... I mean, you didn't comprehend any of it except the statistic part.[/QUOTE] there's a difference between what's written down and what's implied

I hate people who purposely make their names stand out trying to represent their pride towards some kind of group. I see them as attention whores, nothing more, nothing less...

[QUOTE=thisispain;28739417]there's a difference between what's written down and what's implied[/QUOTE] What I'm implying is: everyone who thinks there is no difference between sexes except body structure is stupid. Everyone who accuses people of being sexist because they say that there are differences between sexes is a moron. Which is exactly what you did. Saying that two things are different doesn't imply that one of them is inferior. I have no fucking idea where are you people getting this ideas from.

And what the hell you mean by "they don't mean it that way"? You did it yourself ffs. I said there are differences between men and women and you said I made a "misogynist point under the guise of statistics."

What kept me captivated was how much emotion they put into their voices.
