poor taste anyone?

Has anyone ever looked at that recent loot on the recent finds list? Brutal Orgasmatron Axe(L) 154 ped. I myself am over 18 and so are most other people in the universe, and I know you need to be 18 to play this universe, but still. EU has a certain atmosphere to it and it was one shifting towards quality. Those of us who don't care about quality go to Rocktropia at the moment it is honestly not polished. Not to mention that, it is very expensive too.
I don't think that putting this on the hall of fame board for our planet is good taste at all as it just transforms the entire experience into a poorly thought out tacky and immature undeveloped one. Come on MA, and FPC. That just sounds stupid, why put it up as a major pr stat for those of us who purposefully try to avoid that bullshit?

Wholeheartly agreed with OP.
+ rep.
 
Considering my best friends are longtime friends from the Goth and Metal scene, I don't like goths/metal/vampire chicks portrayed as drunk sluts. I know it's just a game but it becomes a bit personal for me in this respect. Maybe it's not that bad, but it's the impression I'm getting. :confused:
As long as it's done in a tasteful way and with integrity, I don't mind if there is some 18+ elements, but do it well. Thats my opinion ;)

agreed:)

It's not personally offensive that we have these cliche charachters, but without it being more spread out across more tounge-in cheek subcultures, it does seem a bit sexist...

I vote for "aging hippie" as the next mob, with strong consideration given to "high fiving white guy"
 
?

I gotta say as has been said already the axes are named after songs which is no big deal and the McDonalds Ads outta be looked upon as a good thing because if MA is doing ADS for major companies such as that then they are making money which means they are here for the long haul and will hopefully only get better with time, personally my lucks been sucking bad but thats okay where i have failed others have gained and eventually it will be my turn and yours....personally i wish we still had blood and such i mean even if their are kids playing I would rather my child understand that if you chop a living creature up with an axe or shoot them that they will bleed otherwise its like watching a cartoon and think its okay it wont hurt them lol people really do whine too much.

*eyes bleed*

Good points though. As for the ads, can't you turn those off?
 
Theres a very big flaw in your logic here.
No one forces you to go to Rocktropia.

The only thing that would need to be changed for the easily offended is to remove the Rocktropia global messages, or ad a clickable filter for those messages (separate chat chanel).. "problem" solved.

Only the fact alone that some people (not saying that you are) are offended by the naming and graphics on RT makes me real sad. And what makes me real mad is that those people (sometimes) try to force their puritan morals upon all others.
What the hell happened to tolerance and broadmindeness?

I dont believe that I said that I was being forced to GO to Rocktopia.

I did however suggest that TOTALY separate globals, HoF's and download would solve the problem.

I NEVER said that the content should be changed in any way, shape or form, all I asked was that I be able to play and enjoy Calypso without having to censor the way I enjoy playing, (by having to turn off global chat) or paying(via time, download limit charges and hard drive space) for content ,that I personally find degrading to women,that I will refuse to use for that reason.


Give me the right to choose what I see and have stored on my computer. I have no right to inflict my choices or moral standards on you or anyone else in this universe, and you should have no right to enforce your moral standards and choices on me. All I am asking for is the same rights as you.
 
Wow. I just checked back after a long 6 month vacation, and just realized both the mass amount of +rep I got for this, and the vast amount of posts that came about as the result of my early morning post.
I certainly will be reading this thread....wow
 
So do we all agree that the solution would be to remove everything that is considered bad taste by anyone for any reason?

If so there will be pretty much nothing left.

I never said that it should be removed. I instead said that the planets since one is a colonial human civilization powered by genetic engineering and suchforth, that we should never see the crap from Rocktropia since its a metal culture thing. On the other hand, why should Rocktropia, a metal culture game, be subject to all of the cyber stuff from Planet Calypso?

Your right, its all about individual taste and acceptability. Your comparisons to films/movies is quite good, what i may like you may not.

Let me put it this way.....

If I like porn movies, and you like Disney movies, is there anything wrong with advertising my porn movies on your Disney dvds?

Sure, at some point in our lives we all see a porn movie, but we dont need to see them all the time (well most of us), nor do we need to see them advertised in our "disney" moments.

How about if it becomes law that for every 2 dvd you see, you must see 1 porn dvd? (Based on 2 continents on calypso, 1 on rocktopia)

Sure, dont see dvds , I hear some say, sadly the law comes in after you have already seen several and now you have no choice - either see the porn or return all the dvds you own , with no compensation for your investments, and never see another again, ever.


The answer is surprisingly simple, Make Rocktopia completely separate from Calypso.

Separate globals, HoFs and download. If you want Rocktopia, download it, if you dont then dont download, you can still download it later if you change your mind, but if you never want it then you can still play on Calypso.

The way it is at the moment, if I want my Disney movies then I am FORCED to buy the porn as well.

Agreed and this is the point I was trying to make in the first place. Just screen the stuff and keep it in its own separate bin. Also, does anyone know if they have fixed any of this yet?
 
I wonder if anyone highlighted the irony of "hottygurl" complaining about item names being poorly thought out, tacky and immature? ;)
