Jazuela: I don't know what you are going on about.

Did you read the article?

The topic is how most online gaming communities are openly hostile, hateful, and unpleasant for gay gamers. There is so much open gay bashing, common use of gay-hating slurs, etc. that it is extremely unpleasant for gay gamers to try and play the game.

Fortunately, there are some games that aren't like that. There are some online communities that don't tolerate that sort of thing. It may even be possible that text MUDs have a higher percentage of such communities. If so, that's something for our community to be excited about.

Aside from that, I can't tell what you are going on about. It sounds like you didn't read the article and missed the point entirely.
