So I can make a gamertag named GayBob or something? I can see people make stupid names like YouAreGay and YourMomIsATransgender.


This is rather dumb to allow in gamertags. Allowing people to put the fact they are Gay/Bi/Transgender/Straight in their profile I think is ok.

Race : No thanks, I'm too fat, and you'd win.
Sex : Yes please!

which will allow users to "more freely express their race, nationality, religion and sexual orientation" in Gamertags and online profiles. "Under our previous policy, some of these expressions of self identification were not allowed in Gamertags or profiles to prevent the use of these terms as insults or slurs," wrote XBL general manager Marc Whitten. "However we have since heard feedback from our customers that while the spirit of this approach was genuine, it inadvertently excluded a part of our Xbox Live community."

when i get an XBOX Live tag i'm gonna fully express it!!!!



PS: no offense to anyone, just somes black humor >.>;;

maybe if gay people would stop acting like it's so offensive when ignorant narrow-minded people use these terms negatively it wouldn't be such a big deal in the first place. like the idea of a bully losing their power over you when you ignore them.

People just like to complain about w/e they can and want it all. At this point they're just useing this as an excuse to get more things their way. Take what u got and stop complaining.

I can see all those white wannabe thugs writing that ghetto babble on their profiles.. Kinda takes away from the civilized nature of Xbox Live.

/sigh


Microsoft I swear is run by 12 year olds


I can see this being abused in so many ways and will end up offending A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of people.

So basically is there any type of restriction on what you can name your tag or ... just whatever the *** you want?
