Racist Rantings About Russians Are Not Ok!

[Ligatorswe]

As a swede playing as a danish-norweigan captain  am deeply worried about the language of some new players (that are NOT involved in any major danish-norwegian caln).

The danish-norwegian players consists of a large group of russians as well as international captains. The channel is therfore both englishspeaking and russianspeaking. This has resulted in a rage against russians by some non-russian players. Some typical ragers SCREAM out that all russians are "rude and evil" and should not speak russian on the "international channel". They mix rage against the "damn fucktard russians" with sometimes other forms of xenophobia like hate against jews or other nations.

The danish channel is amlost impossible to follow sometimes due to these rants.

And even if I am no russian I do understand some russian and can say that there are jerks among them too but they are in NO WAY as rude, impolite and brutal as these self proclaimed "civilized" westerners.

This is not good for the game and it is NOT good for the danish-norwegian nation. We have to cooperate! The russians are MORE than welcome to the danish-norwegian group.


I just want to mention this so that we can seek a solution to this improductive russophobic rage.

PS

And if russian should not be allowed as a language ingame I think the company is making a mistake. The market in russia is quite big.

makes me sad... hope that your channel will be bearable asap again.

what's wrong with being Russian? really sad. The Dutch sailing for the United Provinces hail Russian Captains under Swedish and Danish flags.

Side note, it's discrimination, not racism.

 

With that said:

Report every single person who makes remarks like that. Thats the first step in solving problems.

If you need an experienced mediator I'm available.

It's not discrimination because they're not refusing to hire them or whatever. I think "bigotry" is probably more accurate.

 

But they've also said some things against Jews, apparently, so it's really both.
