I had something happen to me last night while playing an online game and was looking for some opinions on it...
I was playing City of Heroes and since I am a semi high character, I had a contest that whoever could answer a question for me would win 50k influence (like money in the game). Anyway, a character named ChinkintheArmor won the contest so I said "You are right chink, come claim you prize.". At this point a character named HalfBreed pm'ed me and said, "watch the racial slurs". At first I thought he was joking but I simply replied that it was racial that I had just shortened the winners name which everyone does throughout the game. He then began to chastize me for using racial slurs and threatened to report me. I told him it wasn't racial and to get over himself. He then said he knew I didn't use it racially but didn't care what context it was in, that it was a racial slur and he was offended. We went back and forth over it for a bit then I logged off so my mouth would not get me in real trouble. So what do ya'll think of this? I am still a bit miffed about it.
