So now NCSoft closing City of Heroes is a race thing and \u201cproof that this Asian company hates white people and probably thinks they\u2019re dirty\u201d and I am so done.<\/p>\n

Like, I care about City of Heroes more than any other game in my life, but hearing arguments like that is speeding up my sense of closure on this hella quick.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Personally I haven\u2019t heard statements like that, but I\u2019m sorry to hear. I don\u2019t think that was an OK thing to say at all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s alright to criticize the cultural differences such as in business practices. In fact, I heard that from several people who were indeed all from east Asia. They complained about the relative lack of good PR and customer relations. That\u2019s another story though, but also an example of something that\u2019s not flat-out racist.<\/p>\n

Racist remarks are\u00a0unnecessary\u00a0and destructive. Let\u2019s keep this civil. I understand that we\u2019re all mad, hell, I am too, but sayings like that is going to make us lose support.<\/p>\n

I honestly hope and believe that no one trying to save CoH truly feels like that, but was just said in rage. Being mad is ok, but people shouldn\u2019t let it out through distasteful and\u00a0oppressive\u00a0statements\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
