“Violence breeds violence” “Retaliation breeds retaliation”
It’s easy to follow “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” rule, nevertheless, following the herd rarely ends in a good situation.
And then you get reported by the people who started it with you.
People whine about players not going on voice chat, but i never would because people on voicechat would mock the hell out of me.
Nah it kinda homophobic.
You can’t make a sweeping generalisation about an entire group of people and come across as anything but kinda -phobic or -ist… not saying it was intentional but intent doesn’t really matter because generalisations like that still harm the community and other guys who speak in a ‘‘camp’’ or effeminate way.
Also I don’t get why the ‘stop being so camp’ thing is all still a thing. It’s stupid and irrelevant in general.
Sorry, I obviously wasn’t being clear about what I meant. I am not saying all gay guys are camp. I have a very close gay friend and you wouldn’t know he was until you saw him with his partner. What I mean is those gay men who seem to love to over dramatise things and seem to go out of their way to act as camp as they can.
I feel it’s just attention seeking and that’s the main reason is gets on my nerves.
Like I said. Nothing wrong with liking the same sex. Just can’t fathom why it changes how someone acts and speaks. Your just a bloke who likes blokes.
First of all, what exactly is “camp”? ![:sweat_smile:](https://d1kzxbyyijk9k6.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/sweat_smile.png?v=6" ":sweat_smile:")
Also, regarding how sexuality affects geasture and voice, it isn’t too far fetched to claim that sexuality can have an impact on your personality. This would have consequences because your personality has an impact on how you move, how you behave and even how you speak.
Just like how emotions can change your behaviour, personality changes it too. If sexuality can have an impact on your personality, you could assume that sexuality has an impact on your behaviour and voice pattern.
It’s important to say that we are talking about the voice pattern, like how you pronounce words.

It is, have couple of gay uncles and non do the dramatic thing with the tone of there voices or behaviour. They are still men … just gay.
I’m just questioning how you are going to achieve these harsher penalties. Or reports. If we just add another option to the report function which will bann you earlier, people will use this report feature to (if its true) false bann people faster.
Or if the supports read only these reports there will be only such reports since those will be looked at.
You can’t expect the company to filter out anything that was against this topic and recheck it. I kinda would like to be able to help them with this issue of so many reports to check.
Like if there would be some sort of website where you verify with your Battletag and then check reports. And if like 50-100 players feel like it’s a real Report point, the support looks into it.
If 50-100 players rate it as false report, it will. Be marked as such.
Like this we, the community, could help to make the community better.
I don’t want our devs to focus on this bs they should focus on new content, concepts of heroew, maps, skins etc.
(50-100 players is just as a idea valua, can ofc change)
Why would someone’s sexuality impact their personality? Are you talking about what males and females generally find attractive and the tendency of people to conform to generally attractive qualities to their desired partner? (That was a clunky af sentence, but I think you can see where I’m going with it.) Even then it wouldn’t make sense for gay men to act camp/feminine as presumably other gay men are attracted to the things generally though to be attractive about males.
Indeed, I have many homosexual friends and many get annoyed at the guys who “act” gay.
I mean, you like men, and want men to like you, so why not act like a man?
It actually offends some of them, haha.
Just like men have different tastes to women, homosexual men also have tastes to different men.
Some like really masculine men, others like more feminine men.
But maybe the “sexuality impacts personality” thing might be just a misconception enforced by the stereotype of homosexual people.
We can be only sure if there is a clear study for this. And even if we can see a difference between sexualities and personalities, correlation does not equal causation.
Maybe something entirenly different causes changes your personality and personality.
If you let what people online say get to you it’s your own fault. It’s pretty simple. Just tell them this: “I know I sound gay but if you want to win this game we’re gonna have to f*cking communicate.” And if you’re losing and they’re still talking about your gay voice then it’s no different to normal toxicity, they’re just using your voice to get to you.
Man i wish the world was filled with people like you 
We need to stop asking to be protected all the time and start protecting our self in a way the law of our countries allow them.
So are you arguing that sexuality does or doesn’t impact personality? Cause your comments here could be construed as either. In the first you say
regarding how sexuality affects geasture and voice, it isn’t too far fetched to claim that sexuality can have an impact on your personality.
But now it’s
even if we can see a difference between sexualities and personalities, correlation does not equal causation.
So which is it?
The only basis I’m aware of for sexuality effecting personality is the basis of appealing to your desired mates. So males would get bred by females behave a certain way that they as a group on average find desirable and vise versa, but this wouldn’t really effect g-people as they are still of the same stock as everyone else, so on average it would be the same. It could be that it’s a choice as the assumption is that the g-males would find those feminine attributes desirable, but this clearly isn’t where your going based on this statement
Just like men have different tastes to women, homosexual men also have tastes to different men.
So you aren’t arguing for an evo-psyche view of sexual preferences. Leaving me at a loss of how you jumped to sexuality effecting personality in the first place, not that it matters as it seems you’ve totally pack pedaled on that claim anyway…
I’m not sure by myself. It is a difficult and controversial topic to discuss and I have a split opinion about it.
There are arguments for and against sexuality affecting personality:
You can assume that sexuality has an impact on you personality because sexuality changes your tastes and interest for a fututre partner. Therefore, you could assume that the interest for a partner isn’t the only thing that sexuality has an impact.
Then there are the stereotypes. Even though they are preconceptions, the foundation was a truth. Somehow, the flamboyand homosexual stereotype was founded by the fact that some homosexual men act less masculine.
However, what if we focus too much on sexuality itself? It just defines the biological (or social) realationship between you and your partner. Maybe another factor has an impact on your sexuality and maybe that factor has an impact on your personality. Basically, sexuality isn’t the cause of your personality but a corrolation. There might be another factor that changes both your personality and your sexuality.
But do you know how scary that assumption is? It basically says that sexuality is based on a factor that might be affected by human hands. And if that is the case, we would go back to conversion and stuff.
Man, I don’t know myself. I can’t even have a clear opinion about that so I shouldn’t have brought that up in the first place.

Maybe you just have that type of really annoying voice that’s easily associated with the stereotypical homosexual man.
“i personally think there should be more strict rules with homophobia as it’s so common both in-game and in real life”
Sorry man, but that treads far too close to thought control for my liking. As much as you hate it, these people have the unfortunate right of not liking you if you are gay, they are just not allowed to act upon it. Not saying is right or wrong, just how it is.
Also, I lost my grandmother to cancer, so every single post talking about it triggers me to no end. Should people be punished for it? Or should I just deal with it like I always do, as a grown–up?
