jagex...Mistake or racist?

Featured Replies

in the rat catcher quest there is a character reffered to as Hooknosed Jack or something like that. Now for those of you who don't know Hooknose is a derogitory name against the Jewish community. I don't know why I posted this I just thought it was kind of odd.

Jesus wept...

 

 

 

If you want to believe that Jagex has hidden connotations in their game, fine. The rest of us normal people will just carry on as usual.

What's odd about it, the guy has a bent and broken nose that looks like a hook, thus the name hooknose. A common nickname for people with bend or broken noses where I come from.

Just about anything you say now can be called a racial slur, this is no big deal. Let's worry about something that's actually important, k?

*shrugs* if Jagex wanted to be racial, they would.....I don't think that they are being intentionally racial; the programmer probably just thought that since the guy had a hook nose, he was called Hooknose Jack.

This is just like in WoW when somebody got all pissed off because there was a cat called the Maine Coon, which is a REAL CAT BREED. It just goes to show you that people take offense at the stupidest things and someone is always quick to play the minority card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I might start a petition to change Saltine crackers to saltine wafers because cracker is slang for caucasian. Sound stupid? It should, and it's no different then all the whining minorities do.

Were you also not the guy that whined about General Bentnose? (one of the goblin generals in their village)

true :twisted:

Is it just me or has political correctness come overboard....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know loadsa racists i can be called a racist.......i resent people who come into my country and claim all the health care my family pays for and they havent payed a single penny of british tax in there LIFE!....yes white people say things that are offensive to coloured people but they must be defenseless victims that dont say something back...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black people call white people pasty and all that crap all the time its only when white people call black people something that it becomes out of hand.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get a life and stop caring your blood pressure will thank you for it...a friend of mine is in prison for fighting with a black man...i say things in the heat of the moment all the time deosnt mean i mean it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ciaow for now

ya; I think that it is stupid that people receive extra benefits because of their skin color or racial background; Yes, I am white, but I really can not see the point of Native Americans getting to make their own laws on their reservations and getting large paychecks each year. My family (many generations back) came from England, but we are not shunned because some of us were loyalists :lol: In America, supposedly everyone has equal rights (although that is not at all true), so why do people get huge benefits because of their background? It really just does not make sense :?
