negativepink2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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.

Bubsa Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty4242 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSoultar Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliisgood Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 *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.

Einhasad Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 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.

lpinkus Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Wow. I have many Jewish pals, and if any of them player RS, I'm sure they wouldn't have thought twice at that one. Take it easy :) Seriously, I think JAGeX does a darn good job in keeping the game appropriate for all its players. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambretta89 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliisgood Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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 :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
