I never understood the hate towards latino mappers.

I reckon it's plain old xenophobia.

Oh, you say it's because of the content produced? Imagine if when we started using the HEK back in the day, that all these ripping tools were available. You really think we wouldn't have been producing the same trash?

Oh, you say it's because they're stubborn? Don't listen to feedback? Pretty sure that's a generalization based on one latino mapper that didn't listen.

Do you all know what a language barrier is? It indicates the difficulties faced when people who have no language in common attempt to communicate with each other. Imagine trying to learn how to make a map in good old Bungie style, without the official HEK tutorial? I think it's pretty safe to say that all the good BSP makers started with that tutorial - though basic, it teaches the necessary fundamentals that are needed in order to properly understand the process.

I know that I, too, am generalizing - not everyone here has something against latino mappers.

But those that do are bigoted scum IMO

PS: The majority of the playerbase should be addressed with more humility. In 2006, any mapper had the hope that their map would be played by the majority of the playerbase. In 2014, has that changed? Simply because of the demographic of the majority?
