Discrimination and the frustrated community; an equality story
The most recent Bungie bounty, a hunt for the Dames of Destiny and our "beloved" community managers, has unveiled a seething hatred and disrespect in the community. The Dames as we know them, are a all female clan who participated in the Bungie event; and how the forums were set ablaze. Threats including but not limited to: -blam!-, beating, and death were posted, for a such a pointless event, and I think I know why.
[b]I'm not a bigot[/b]
I understand why these comments and threats were issued, but I [u]do not[/u] condone them.
[b]I speak my mind[/b]
If there was a clan that [b]only[/b] allowed membership to men, would it get any communal focus? Probably not, but a clan of all gay men might!
Do any of you see an issue there? I'll say it again, just to be clear. [b]I am not a bigot[/b], I am simply a realist. We try so hard not to discriminate, yet that passion turns into favor. In our path to acceptance, we've somehow alienated these groups of people, giving them social liberties that others don't have. So is this truly equality? I'll let the community answer that one.

Edit: Hatred in anyway should be punished accordingly.
Well said but, even if it was the case either way with only men or only girls in a clan, harassment is harassment and people should have their accounts banned.
