@simmant: White privilege? So me being white makes it ok? Is it ok to use other peoples race as justification for they way they are treated? You don't know me or the life I've led. So it's not OK for me to stand up and call out the same racial, sexual and gender discrimination that I also stand up for and defend for others?

Maybe it wasn't the best timing but I genuinely felt offended and I spoke out and was banned for it.

Look, I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, especially now with the world the way it is, but it's still discrimination and that's usually how it starts.. small where nobody notices and nobody speaks up and when they do, they are dismissed, possibly with fart sounds.

The discussion was about all the abuse that has come up lately in the industry and Vinny said that the way it used to be was a bunch of straight white guys and I found it offensive as a straight white guy and I made the comment "Straight white guys are people too"

So is diversity all inclusive as long as you aren't a straight white guy? How is this acceptable? I've never abused anyone, I've never been racist yet I'm lumped into a group with a bunch of people and labeled because of my gender, race and sexual orientation and then have my voice on the chat taken from me because I speak out? I don't see how this is fair and inclusive.

The beta does lack any kind of tutorial, I don't know if one will be in the full game either. This game is brutally difficult for new players, best bet is to watch a lets play video and you will get it pretty quickly. I almost think it's designed this way. on the face it looks like a cartoony pirate game but it's more than that and it takes time in the game to see all that you can do, especially ship to ship combat which I think is the main focus of this game. I too think it may get boring after a while but I also think Rare knows what it's doing.
