Not only that, the article might not actually have listed a problem. What I mean is that maybe MS is taking these things down within a reasonable time. The article just states "Fine and good, but is it really working? From what we’ve seen, no it’s not. Case in point, Dreamer61’s 1957 Mercedes 300SL pictured below." So we have anecdotal evidence that someone somewhere found an offensive paint job on a car. How does that support the claim title of the article, "Microsoft yet to get on top of Forza 2 racism"? What would prove the point the article is trying to make would be to show that after filling in the abuse reporting form, it was left up for an unreasonable period of time.
Are you kidding me? You think a private business doesn't have the right to set up parameters and regulations on how its customers can use its service? Its a free market homeboy.
I think it would more appropriate if it were a Volkswagen instead. After all Hitler had nothing to do with BMW or Mercedes Benz. And about this article... get over it. It's no big deal. You don't like it? Don't buy this car, don't race this guy... As much as I don't agree with doing this, he should have the right to do as he pleases. No need to make this any bigger than it already is...
What exactly is the point? Are you saying the phrase "white power" is racist? What about "black power"? Are you saying the Swastika is racist? I'm sure the religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism would beg to differ. So you must be refering to the Nazi flag, right? Does this mean the Italian flag is racist, ever heard of Mussolini? How about the French flag, ever heard of Napoleon? What about the United States flag? Serbian flag? Croatian flag? If you have a problem with a silly paint job in Forza 2, do what I do - run the car off the road. Problem solved.
Unbelievable. Yeah, I really want to turn Microsoft into the thought police. Maybe they should ban hand painted boobs on Forza cars. Maybe the Obama 2008 paint job should be nixed. Maybe the paint job of Calvin pissing on Hillary's campaign sticker should be banned. Why don't we ban Marbolo paint jobs? Cigarettes kill people. Don't forget to ban religious statements that could offend people. Jesus saves paint job is a definite candidate to be banned. Let's just raise my gold membership to $100 a year so we can pay Microsoft to take all offensive material from the otherwise considerate forum known as Xbox Live.
yeah a car from the 50's really matches with the Nazi regime especially since it was dissolved in the mid 40's....what do they teach you kids in school besides ultra liberal P.C. garbage anyways...
