Halo 4 permaban for sexism

[Kreekakon]

And I can see your point that the "problem" where people get banned because they "trashtalk", while in fact they shouldn't have opened their mouth in the first place. Want to trash talk? Then keep that to tournaments where's it's been allowed by policy, but for the sake of everyone, don't insult people (joke or not) over the internet where there are strangers and you never know who will get offended or who will shrug it off. It's not hard to just be nice.

This is going to seem like a dick reply, but it's probably the truth:

Do you have any idea how boring that would be?

Not making any jokes at all would greatly take away from the fun of a game. It's reflects the fun of competitive nature, and it's all just made in good fun without intention to hurt most of the time.

As I said before, and you agreeing, there is a fine line between jokes, and insults. If you're really that worried, then keep your "talk" within line, and unless someone is super over-sensitive they'll take it in good fun.

If they still get offended after that, then I'm sorry to say this, but they really are being overly dramatic to have been affected, because any joke which is kept behind such a line will never be perceived as insulting to a person with common sense.

Since one means no harm, one could always still apologize if one runs into one of these types of people if it really bothers them that they accidentally offended someone..
