It has infiltrated global- horribly

I was banned from global today.

It wasn't for flaming
It wasn't for trolling
It wasn't for rudeness
It wasn't for being a high level

It was for standing up for gay rights.

I logged on to global today to find a bunch of people saying that gay people were horrible and that homosexuals should die, and that God would kill all of the Gay people because they were sinners.

I popped into the conversation and stated my opinion, which sparked a heated debate, with people telling me that I must be a horrible person to support gays, and that God would destroy me as well and a bunch of other religious ♥♥♥♥. It is truly a sad day when you find that people truly can't accept others for who they are.

I mean really? It's a game! Why do people need to be demeaning and angry and horrible to others just because they aren't exactly like them? Get over it world. It's time to stop with this discrimination ♥♥♥♥.

Never state your opinion on global. Ever. Just relog into CoC if global is that bad.
Also, sorry for your 24 hour loss *Salutes grave of 24 hours*
Anti-discrimination group! (which would be counter-productive because it's discriminating the people who discriminate others)

Because they can. The Internet is one of the only few places in their pathetic little lives where they can air their bigotry publicly without fear of retribution.

Fortunately, the world is slowly changing. 18 states now allow same ♥♥♥ marriage, up from 0 just 10 years ago.

Jules, when on global- repeat after me

Trust me there will always be some people on global hiding behind their feeling of anonymity who can behave in an anti social way - you won't win by being reasonable with them.

ummm...okay...wow...

I do try and tell myself, by sometimes I can get pushed to the limit. I will repeat the phrase the next time I am on global- or better yet, never visit global again. lol

You were banned for turning the global into a flamewar by pushing a political issue onto everyone when nobody wanted to talk about it. I also laugh at your "why are they angry just because people aren't exactly like them?" bit when you're clearly upset the people in global didn't think exactly like you.

Now stop lying and exaggerating about what happened for sympathy from strangers online.

You do know that what you stood up for is still illegal in some countries right?

Discriminating gays or standing up for gay rights, both are a form of imposing your ideals on others.

With such a sensitive issue being presented in a volatile platform that is accessible by anyone on earth, you think it's a good idea to dab in?

Walk away, just walk away.

Good for you taking a stand.

Yes, there will always be trolls and bigots but that doesnt mean we should wash our hands of standing up against online hate.

Those trolls and bigots will probably never be dissuaded, but onlookers (especially kids who are still forming their world views) need to see that the hate isn't the norm.

If you made one 12 yr old think twice before joining the mob, you did a good thing OP.

How would you even know if he is exaggerating. I think that it is fine that he is describing this encounter. I even 100% believe that this happened. It was good of julezwatts to defend gays. You are the one making a flamewar.

Nice dramatic post. I am against gay marriage, and i do not think it should not be allowed. However i am taught to hate the sin, not the sinner. I cannot enforce my will on the world, that's just the way it is. But you should not debate issues like gay marriage on global. That's just bringing a ban upon yourself.

Global is a terrible place filled with little kids and trolls, I wouldn't go there much anymore. There is nothing wrong with stating your opinion, and these people have no right to ban you just for saying something they didn't agree with.

'Its a phase' (for the kids, not you julez)

Anyway, you can't say that stuff about God, Pope Francis supports gay rights last time I checked

In fact, it has some roots dating back to when we wre cave men and the need to do what you had to , to survive.

When Julez busts out the "♥♥♥♥", it's like me giving my angry rants. Don't go on global, it is a war zone and the remains the remains of a war zone, dotted wwith scavengers of a battlefield where a "join me!" war was fought, and continues to be fought... by EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. ON. GLOBAL.

Ive been banned a few times for pointing out "devout" Christians blatant ignorance about their religion, im an atheist yet i know more about their religion which i find sad.
i dont go around talking about religion on global because idc about anything like that, but the people that preach god in global i like to have fun with, but if i was in your situation i would defend gay rights.

Oh nice. It's now 19 states. Pennsylvania's ban was struck down today.

Frankly, something like this happened to me, but I listened to the mod ⬆️

I did stuck up for a guy being called gay...and yeah

Only thing is, I wasn't banned, mostly because after I said my opinions, I left.

The thing I can most remeber about that is I got the impression that they were shaking their heads at slowly, like they were dissapointed in this little 9 yr old.

I got out of there fast, and avoided a ban. Phew...

It appears most of the clash community is pro gay marriage...

Well, no. I'm 43, educated, married with kids, I've lived abroad and travelled on 5 continents. Not sure why that should be a part of your argument. I guess you are implying that my views are naive or uninformed.

I am not denying the existence of hate or that that there is an evolutionary basis for people to develop prejudices against tribes, races, people who are different to them.

I am saying that things get worse (for everybody) when good people stand aside and let prejudices flourish unchecked.

That is what a good deal of humankind has been preoccupied with since your caveman days.

He may be implying that many orthodox Christians are homophobes.

English Global is ruthless. I just tend to go on there to troll new players from time to time:D

I am not pointing fingers at religion or any type of religion, and I encourage all of you to have your own beliefs, as that is what makes us human. However, I simply think that our beliefs should be left in real life and let them stay out of the game- (Ex. one of the guys I was arguing with was in a clan called '♥♥♥♥ haters' or something like that.)

Julez, don't make the stereotype that all Christains want homosexuals dead. I am a Christain. I think that homosexuality is a sin, but I also know that everyone sins. So I don't judge them. It's not my place to. How can I point out the small stain on someone else's shirt, when I know that I have a gigantic stain on mine? I respect them just as I would respect anyone else.

Anyways, I don't want to go too deep into it, but please don't make a stereotype because of some radical people on global.

You were definitely right to go against them.

I just noticed how appropriate my "Location" is for this thread discussion... :rolleyes:

Never discuss hunan rights, politics, theology, or science on global. I learned my lesson explaining the formation of the solar system and current theories on the formation of the universe to a like minded person while someone in a clan called 'Jesus is Lord' was also in that global.

^^^Agreed. It's not going to end too well, no matter what you are arguing.

Eventually you'll learn there's time and place to say and do things. And there's no good or bad, only different opinions.

*sigh*
Most globals are filled with kids trolls n gemmers who got no idea how to play..

Long live the only global which is clean..n I hope it will remain the same when I get high enough to chat n not get muted :rolleyes:

In global I just worry about myself lol. Not even trying to be a warrior for justice because all that does is get you owned. Just ask agent coulson. oh wait he is dead :(

Although I am fully behind what you've said, everyone does indeed have a right to think how they want, by whatever means they feel is justified. No one is right in that type of position. You just have to accept differences, no matter what they are, out of respect for the other person and that be that. Although anything derogatory shouldn't necessarily be spoken, and things can be said in a polite and respectful manner, but we are indeed talking about a game and world where people (usually teens) still say derogatory words towards different sexual preferences and think it's okay (which it isn't).

Different backgrounds, cultures, religious beliefs, etc. are on Global, and you have to take into account that others have a right to voice their opinion just as you do. It's a shame there is still such hate out there, but there are also trolls who love to... Well, troll. It's a part of the game, as unfortunate as that is, and there will always be that one (or many) person or people who love to stir up ♥♥♥♥ for the heck of it. I think everyone should keep any and all politics out of gaming, but that never really happens, ever. :rolleyes:

It's a shame you got banned from Global. At least it's really not for very long.

I think I have muted more than half of global.

Some masters 2 reported me the other day because he said I was giving unsolicited advice. I just loled and said I was sorry for interrupting the unadulterated worship of his black shield, but someone was asking for help, so I gave it. He then got really angry with me. I muted him (no time to deal with angry peeps who don't take their meds) and left.

Worth remembering most of them are just ignorant kids and not rising to it. Surprisingly, i have managed to get some people to apologise, but most of the time don't bother. Another thing companies need to start thinking about with chat forums, is that in some countries police take internet hate very seriously and will investigate and this will be taken more and more seriously in future, but it's a fine balance between too much censorship and freedom of speech. Just a sad indication of the world we live in and the ability of children these days to communicate too freely.

Umm, interesting way to put it into perspective...

In your last paragraph at the start you state that it's just a game, So why do you get angry for being banned in global?

Although im not religious, i find it funny that you say "religious ♥♥♥♥" in your post.
Is that not offensive?
I would guess more ppl identify as religious than gay...

I wouldn't myself ever bring up a sensitive subject in global (or at all in the game to be honest). However, I think its also very important to stand up for certain things. I don't want people to think that everyone agrees when someone makes a statement agains homosexuality, I don't need to enter into an argument but I think it matters to just point out that I believe in all peoples equal value and right to not be discriminated. I do not know who read that global, if someone who is gay reads it I want it to be clear that not everyone agrees with those ppl talking. Same with a bunch if different subjects, I make sure to just state there is another way of seeing things. Like if someone says something racist or sexist for example.

I have no interest in debating the matter or convince people that I'm right, but I think it I can make a difference by just showing that it doesn't have to be that way.

But yeah, preferrably I avoid those subjects completely and only talk about game related matters...or just avoid global.

You deserve to be banned, for partaking in a conversation with a bunch of idiots.

Everyone lets all believe in Buddhism then we would have no problems with homosexuality. :rolleyes:

Standing up for people's rights is an important thing, but global and this forum aren't good places for it. I applaud you for your actions.

We simply report that person and exit that chat.. hoping others do the same.

Unfortunately this is to be expected when you argue with religous nuts

But he said there were many people saying those things. How many of them would get banned? What if there was a gay person reading what they were saying and starting to feel really bad? I support the OP's actions and agree with him that it is really sad things like this have reached the game.

I am 13, and I absolutely hate it when people my age, and people much older then me, use that term like its an insult. Yes, I'm only 13, and I am a Catholic who goes to a Catholic school, but seriously? How can the fact that someone is different be used as an insult? I am sick of all the racism, discrimination and hate for people who do things different, or see things differently, or like things differently. I know its against my religion, but honestly? I hate that rule of my religion. People should be able to do whatever they want, without being mistreated.


I applaud you Julez, for having the courage to fight your way through that mob of clueless kids. I am only 13, yet I believe I am much more mature then most people my age, and a lot of people 1-5 years older then me, not just because I know whats right and wrong, but for other reasons too.

Good job Julez:D

whatever you want

A lot of people says "It's just dumb kids, ignore them" isnt that offensive as well?
And there's no point in arguing about this stuff in a game, it's hard enough IRL.

Personally I see both sides of the debate at hand.
Sure you have been banned from chat for conveying your belief , but what's to say that its actually the correct one that you've grown up with?

Prepare to be shocked peeps , clash is international.

I've travelled to 1st 2nd & 3rd world countries where having your own opinion can land you in jail. Or worse.

The core community you're immerse in can somewhat define your values , some people develop opinions over time as their eyes are opened to the world.
Acceptance of others is quite possibly the hardest value to teach and be taught.

But it can be taught at some level of mutual understanding.

Although I personally haven't been banned from global I can be sympathetic to the inconvenience of it.
Or you can try my secret to global chat success.

Ready? Pen and paper cause I'll only post this once.

sneakymaori pro tip #88856
" The true secret is discovering early on ,that global chat is in fact, by definition........ all talk. "

Pass on this wisdom my children that others may to enjoy the wondrous and ever entertaining conversations held within global chat channels.

Warm regards.

They're offending a general group of people based on their sexuality AND trying to take away their rights (marriage). People calling them "dumb kids" are basing it on their opinions (which are homophobic). Not the same type of offensive.

Interesting first post....

My advice, don't worry about a ban on global.

OP knows the game well enough to understand what can happen if you get into an argument on global.

Personally I will also enter into these debates on Global. But I know I could be banned, but so what it's only 24hrs.

The main point is not to overstep the mark which could get you banned from the game.

Personally I agree with you. And I also understand your frustration with global(I got banned for saying "hi" with a champ badge). But same ♥♥♥ marriage falls under the category of "just don't go there" with religion and politics. I hope the forum is mature enough to handle this post. But I doubt it.

I just realized this could have been taken wrong. As a christian, seeing anti gay bull♥♥♥♥ makes me sad.

I don't know why I get so fired up by this stuff but it makes me upset. Yes global is not a place for discussions on politics, religion, sexuality. In fact I see global overall as really horrible place. I get that a lot of hateful, spiteful comments are because of adolesence children who's moral compass might not be always pointing in the right direction but as someone in another post just said, if you can show one person that there is a different side to the story or to stand up for ones human rights that is something to be proud of. To the original OP i salute you for taking a stand when it seems no one else would, unfortunetly there is a lot of people in this world still living a hundred years in the past with some of their beliefs but we also have to be tolerant to them as well since they where most likely raised that way. It's very hard to break a cycle of hate that has been ingrained into people/countries/religion/politics, but time will prevail as well as people taking a stand.

Just think a hundred years ago in North America a woman didn't have the right to vote, because of some strong willed people history was changed (again not world wide), a hundred years from now maybe we will be living in a more sophisticated world were ones sexuality/religion/poitical beilefs are tolerated and discrimanation doesnt exist. Hopefully the forums can be a place were people are more tolerant but i have very strong suspisions that people will either bash my post or ignore it.

Sorry if our beliefs differ but basing opinions on ones sexuality is the same as basing your opinions on someones skin colour, discrimination takes many forms. Good day hopefully I didnt feed the hate trolls too much.

Lol at OP acting like a saint. It matters that much to him huh.

i were looking for a clan before and I found one with the description "Lvl 40+ lvl 3+ arch to join. You may not be gay!" So I texted this guy on global and he was like omg plz join (lvl 70 something at that time) And then I told him "Hey btw I am gay." He got mad but I actually got alot of support.

Now, I am not gay, but, I felt like I wanted to stand up for human rights.

People should know that those on global are mostly children. Many have been indoctrinated by their parents since young age.

You don't simply argue with children on the internet (much less an online game), that achieves nothing. You let them grow and learn by themselves in real life, via education and life experience.

Pretty much sums it up.

I can't stand Global. Why anyone would bother with it is beyond me.

It was for standing up for gay rights.

I logged on to global today to find a bunch of people saying that gay people were horrible and that homosexuals should die, and that God would kill all of the Gay people because they were sinners.

I popped into the conversation and stated my opinion, which sparked a heated debate, with people telling me that I must be a horrible person to support gays, and that God would destroy me as well and a bunch of other religious ♥♥♥♥. It is truly a sad day when you find that people truly can't accept others for who they are.

I mean really? It's a game! Why do people need to be demeaning and angry and horrible to others just because they aren't exactly like them? Get over it world. It's time to stop with this discrimination ♥♥♥♥.

Same thing happened to me once too man. Sometimes video games just arent the best place to state your opinions. Sure, it's terribly wrong, but what can you do?

I'm certain your a troll but I'll give you this one bit of food.

Thousands of gays commit suicide because of what certain groups of people say about them. That's pretty serious. The people the OP is talking about probably didn't understand the seriousness of what they were saying, but if no-one says something to them they will continue and perhaps cause something serious. The OP has at least done something, even if it is only a very small thing.

Thankfully I don't need a book to tell me how to live my life. I know that persecution and repression of ANYONE for simply being who they are is wrong. You feel that a certain group of people do not deserve the same rights as you, simply for being who they are. You do not know them personally, yet you feel you have a right to strip them of marriage and the benefits that come with it. Interesting.

Actually, there are bad opinions. For those who felt (and still feel) that blacks did not have a right to sit at the front of the bus (and work for a wage, and eat at certain restaurants, etc.), they had WRONG and BAD opinions. If someone feels that they are in the right for thinking that any race does not deserve the same amount of basic human rights as another race, they are wrong in every sense of the word.

If you think that some people, whether they be of a different race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, or gender, are better than other groups, you are wrong. We are all human, and we all deserve respect and equal rights.

link to said statistics plz & ty oh wait you cant find them :rolleyes:

Guys,

I think we are done here, the thread has gone so far off topic and into some areas that are frankly inappropriate for a games forum.

I kept it open so we could have an informed debate on Global and how to deal with the kind of opinions that are sometimes expressed there and I am certain we had that debate....and some.

To have the last word.

There are trolls.
Trolls do it because they like attention.
Clash of Clans welcomes EVERYONE to the game, gay straight young old white black green blue it doesn't matter

If you see something you feel breaks the terms of service or is in fact illegal feel free to take a screen shot and report it, support will deal with it.

Thank you and goodnight/good morning/whatever.
