    I would give him a hug too if he weren't a near-40 year old adult man crying over getting called a monkey

    Hello friend, I understand the pain you're going through but you have to understand that the internet is filled with very sad people. Heck, most of the ones who called you that were just basement dwellers with no life. No normal person would just spew the n word, unless something was wrong with them.

    Take /vg/ for example, they found this thread and likely planning to troll it with the "tumblr pls go" and other useless rants, yet deep down inside, they're just pathetic people, just wishing they could have friends and a social life for that matter.

    If you wish to learn more about /vg/ then go here http://boards.4chan.org/vg/res/54904190

    There you will see how you should not let these words get to you, threadstarter, you're better than them in every way, just view how sad they are and move on.

    1) Correct
    2) No. Thinking I was called a monkey ****** upset me. And if your don't understand what that is, Its another word for "make love"
    3) The whole point of the post was yes I shouldn't be affected by the mere words on the internet. But actually getting to the age of 37 has not innured or immunized me from offense at being called something used to diminish myself and my family members in the past.
    4) If you mean I felt like sharing how I felt and why I was no longer playing an Apex. Then yes. If your saying I should not have done it and spared you this conversation, then you are incorrect.

    That's not quite white guilt. White guilt would be if he felt somehow responsible.

    No srsly, I can see this going either way, but I'm white so I'll keep my tongue in my cheek as I have far too much to say on racism and how absurd it is these days.

    Just gonna say this.

    If you think saying the n word, Or saying someone is a monkey means that they live in their mom's basement and are sad and lonely than you gotta learn up.

    Sorry but if someone can not handle things that don't even come close to the crap you get in public school than the internet is not for them.

    Alright I'll come clean, I know I was alittle harsh on you but it just reminded me about something that happened to me earlier today, you see I was working on my car and I was REALLY dirty and I didn't smell too fresh either, some white family was on a walk and their little kid walk pass me and called me a SKUNK! the parents laughed it off, so did I - but was I gonna do? start yelling at the kid because I think she was trying to hurt my feelings? I just laughed with them awkwardly and continued working.

    But after this day I'm no longer using cars, I'm selling this one and I'm going to use bikes instead.

    I apologize.

    So you literally eliminated all chance of them having any way to call you a monkey based on the character's skin color and you still got offended

    If a person is spewing it with no form of intelligence then yes, they're likely very sad people.

    Your saying his avatar getting called a monkey may have triggered a reaction of past things to happen to him. I'm saying so would it be ok for me to have a reaction of not trusting a cop because one pulled me over due to me being a black guy riding a bike in my neighborhood in leather coat that wasn't on the "poor" side of my town. Point is that if that is true (which I didn't read was the case so your assuming) then he needs to seek help to get past this issue, because it seems he is projecting his past issues on something that was not directed at the person playing the game. I would feel for the guy if the insults were flung at him, hell first time I played on X-Box Live a bunch a guys where going "Who is this (the lovely N word) playing Halo, I didn't think they spent their money on drugs". That I would get why he would feel bad, it's directed at him.

  19. It IS a little weird though that people are making the Apex out to be "black people". I hadn't even thought about it until I read through a few more pages. I'm pretty sure they're just Apex, probably a bit inspired by The Planet of The Apes. Whatever subconscious or not rationale anyone else has over how they perceive the different species in this game has to deal with that individual's psyche.

    Yes, I call someone an idiot and suddenly I become a sad and lonely. No social life, No love.
