Shriek is a racist squad

[foobarz]

So, one thing I first might state, is that I'm white. But I hate racists. And almost every person on Shriek I've seen is racist. They think calling people the n word is funny, and that dissing black people is funny. It's not funny. It's bigoted and prejudiced and only the lowest of human scum will call people it. Within the past century people were cruelly lynched, like what the Iraqis did to American soldiers, for no reason at all. Racism is sick. And at least up in the Northeast United States these days, racism isn't tolerated by respectable people. Our country has had a sad history about this which is still healing.

But Shriek, I've heard from several former members that as a squad thing they think racism is funny and calling people the n word is funny. People getting lynched for no reason, they find this funny. Even their chat has it in its name (their chat is ?chat=tw4n_____s (without the blanks), and just this moment, I checked it and mess,Nimrook,ruine,merce were in there)

And I mentioned this racism to a2m, their captain, cause I figured he might be above it, but he isn't (I had his name mixed up with a mod from a while ago, I guess). It's sad really.

And to prove my point, here are a few things I've seen them say (and I've seen more, from people like Adman, but don't feel like searching through all my logs):

9:mess> LOL <prohibited word>

9:mess> foobarz is <prohibited word>
9:mess> saying <prohibited word> isnt necessarly racist

9:ruine> stfu <prohibited word>

9:ruine> Its like a reflex for me to type <prohibited word>

9:ruine> Im not racist irl
9:ruine> just in ss actually

9:ruine> mess
9:ruine> thats cuz you are a <prohibited word>
9:ruine> <prohibited word>

P foobarz> a2m
P foobarz> are u there
P a2m> yea
P foobarz> do u know that ur team has racists on it?
P a2m> yea
P foobarz> ppl like Adman, asying n word in ?go base
P a2m> so?
P a2m> your point?
P foobarz> u are pro racism?
P foobarz> u should tell ur squad to not be racist
P a2m> why
P foobarz> or keep it to themselves
P a2m> i dont care what they say
P foobarz> cause racism is a plague on society maybe?
P a2m> maybe its funny?
P foobarz> no not really

I can understand your point, but stating those words is illegal in this fora's. Please refrain from doing so -Rodge

RUH ROH!

valiant effort, but REMEMBER this is a 2d game, not a society.

[Awesome]

Firstly, You're a complete jackass for just giving out their chat.

Second of all, America's "sad history" and all the other american bullshit brought into this game has nothing to do with a lot of the people who play this game, so their "healing", as you put it, should not be pushed into other peoples' faces.

Third, and finally, this is a game. They were being racist in private among friends on their own ?chat. They aren't going out and committing hate crimes or something, get over it.

Grow up.

PS: If you don't like what is said on someones squad chat that you are not a member of, get the fuck off their chat. Seriously people, just think before you suddenly get hit with a topic you can post.

howwwww about, you dont use the n word in the forums

No, they were being racist outside the chat. If it was just inside the chat I wouldn't have noticed or been driven to mention it. I haven't actually been in the chat so I don't know what goes on there. But on at least four or five instances I've seen them bring it into other chats I'm in or saying it publicly or as a team msg during a game. And using ?help doesn't do anything because the mods have to see it happen and even then they will only warn people.

And while TW isn't a society, it certainly has elements of a society, and people will take their attitudes from the game and bring them into the real world. If you think they are completely separate you are very naive.

The chat simply was an example of their racism.

I'm not trying to get in the middle of this but saying you're only racist on SS is complete BS. It does effect you in real life.

[Profound Magician]

I thought "<prohibited word>" was pretty funny.

Please dont use that word here also.. -Rodge

on the subject of racism...

That's bs. Racism and discrimination and blind hate are not unique to Americans. Look at the Israeli-Palestinian issues, or all the Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims in Iraq or how Europeans used to own slaves. Discrimination for whatever reason has occurred in every country in the world. This isn't "american bullshit." Frankly, based on your reflex to insult America, you have some negative stereotypes in your own mind of people you have never met.

i wouldnt take it seriously.. 95 percent of the time racist things are said jokingly in this game.

[Troll King]

That's really reassuring.

Nice eat isn't being racist, btw

[Fit of Rage]

That's not the point. If people are joking about being racist and degrading other people, it's just as bad as if they were serious because either way it degrades people.

[Jerome Scuggs]

Those soldiers were just joking when they piled up the iraqis and made them get naked and peed on them

anyways I think that foobarz is correct. I mean saying "<prohibited word>" on a chat is funny and stuff but FFS when you name your chat that- you need to really do something, TW staff.

I mean I know its "just a game" and there are rules, but this is too much to go <prohibited word>.

And no, you can't say I'm writing this because I hate shriek, we beat them this afternoon (playing without 2 star players because of their timeslot they chose) and so I don't see any reason that getting them dissolved would help my squad- they've given us a 3-0.

Watch it Jerome! Don't use those words here also.. -Rodge
