I've played on Xbox Live for about a year now and I have noticed a certain gamer prejudice that is all over the place. And almost everyday when I play MW2, I stumble into a lobby full of ppl playing who's the douche in the pre-game lobby and swearing fights... >=( and its some what starting to annoy. So the prejudice I notice is that you have late teen to adult gamers swearing at younger gamers or vise versa. Or just continuous conflict. Now before I proceed I am going to say that not everyone is that way.

#1. Okay, so the one of the reasons the older gamers give for swearing are that younger gamer that are like 7 are playing a rated M game. Now I have to agree, thats ridiculous. I can't say how much I've played left 4 dead and heard some kid who is like 6 talking about something random. Now the only question I have is to the parents is what the hell were you thinking?! What is going on in the parents head? *Ohh, a game with a picture of a hand missing a thumb, that looks educational!* Seriously!

#2. Younger gamers swearing at random ppl in the lobby. Once again, at least once a day I get stuck in a lobby with a bunch of kids who are like 11 using words they probably learned from listing to their parents have sex. For once I would like to go an entire day without being called a ***got by some kid who doesn't even know division.

#3. Everyone in a lobby calling you a douche for camping or something. Seriously, ppl make up the dumbest reasons to cuss at some one. If I'm camping and getting lots of kills then theres nothing wrong with it, my decision. One of personal favorites is when ppl who self nominate themselves supreme in a lobby for "no scoping" even though they have mods, and they'll still call you a douche.

#4. Ppl who tease over gamer tags. I think I can vouch for these ppl because my gamer tag is just fresh meat... its HummerH1rocks *bangs head into wall* Yeah, fail at creativity, I know. Now I could easily change it but should I pay $10 ( 7 pounds if UK) for a gamertag change? No way.

#5. Ppl who cuss you out if you say one word. It pisses me off if I get into a lobby and get a killstreak or something and some asks who got the harrier or whatever, and as soon as a I say me, everyone in the lobby jumps on me. You see my voice is a little high so its easy to mistake me for a little kid (a fail at genetics ): ) Or in other scenarios:
I'm playing search and destroy and some guys talking about doing his gf up the butt and getting poop ****, yeah sick. Anyways the opposite team gets a chopper gunner, I'm last alive, I dart past there entire team and defuse the bomb. I've still got adrenaline running through me and I yell "yeah!" after I defuse the bomb. The guy who was talking about his gf immediately yells "stfu you ***got, I didn't ask for your opinion." WTF? I even talk to the guy and I get nailed with insults....


Honestly, I'd like to see gamers not bitching over stupid stuff and insulting over just speaking. So, in conclusion. What do you think about gamer prejudice? Do you think gamers could work together and not fight, I mean after all were all gamers with the same interest. Right?! Were all trying to enjoy gaming after all.

To solve speech fights, I think Avtivision should allow party chat....

So comment and let me know what your opinion is.

And lastly, if you go to youtube and type in the song Arnhem Knights (moh frontline) and read this, it'll make it sound awesome!
