    That is a good question. And I probably would because... Helena Bonhan Carter is sexy as just about everything.. Deranged witch, deranged baker, deranged psychologist., deranged saloon ownerwith one leg. himm the only thing she wasn't deranged in was Planet of the Apes.

    And again the point of my post was that things can affect us as human beings. It doesn't make us any less than if they do affect us. We just need to realistic and realize our limitations or sensitivities.

    When I saw the APEX I was reminded of this.



    I love you Dr. Zaius.

    Except they didn't, they called him a "monkey fuck(er)". How does that have any correlation at all to race

    The 5 year old thing was from the idea that kids especially middle schoolers are the things that wil offend people the most. Again though. I am speaking from my experience. To me if you are not able to handle something like being called _____ from a total stranger than you are not mentally an adult.

    NoYOU, you need to get realistic and realize you can't force people to change and learn how to deal with the problems life is going to throw at you instead of running on the internet on a video game forum asking people to comfort you because you don't have any backbone.


    You are a prime example, of why age doesn't mean nada when it comes to maturity.

    @OP, didn't bother reading whole thread.

    As soon as I took one glance at the Apex race I immediately thought of all of the racist jokes that could be centered around it, this is probably due to the fact that I live in South Carolina, but I was immediately worried about the... jokes that could derive from this. I knew something like this would happen eventually, I even thought about e-mailing the developer going like: "Hey, some controversial stuff can spawn about how you have a monkey-man race and they can be black, I know you didn't INTEND for that controversy to happen, but it can easily happen, and most likely will." obviously I didn't do it in the end because that would've most likely have changed nothing.

    The only real advice that I can give you, (For I have never been in such a situation myself, the closest things being for my nationality and the things I like.) is to rather than take it as an insult, take it as a Medal of Honor, like: "Yeah, I've been there, done that, have you guys ever had to put up with something like that?"

    The only thing I can really do though is hope Humanity will be able to climb over this horrible hump sometime in it's existence, unfortunately that's most likely not going to happen, but I can hope at the very least.

    No, people react different from what you say or do, regardless of race, if someone insulted my dead mother in my face, I'll likely crack their skull. I know it's wrong but that's just how I might react.
    They were still implying that black people were monkeys, many white people do this all the time in Starbound, I'm ashamed of their actions as someone white myself

    They just kept pushing his buttons until he snapped.

    @vgpleasego

    How in the world did it imply black people being monkeys. What in the world are you smoking

    And in my opinion, one is not mentally adult if they call total strangers ____. Stuff like that should be left in middle schools.
