Popo beat you to it.

Shit. Well, that was about seven pages ago. So... Enjoy it again if you already saw it.

Ugh.

Dsheinem didn't start this thread to start a semantics debate. I'm positive we have a "why is cursing bad" thread already. I could be wrong, but I think what he is saying is, cut out the lame sexist jokes, stop referring to every other thing as "gay" and "faggy", and overall, just try to show some class.

I completely agree. Its on thing to speak a certain way in front of friends who know what your real intentions are, but to speak like that in front of a community of people you don't know shows a lack of consideration. After all you wouldn't be in the middle restaurant, party, or class and yell out obscenities for the same reason. Show some restraint and pick some other words to get your point across.

The thing is when someone says something along the lines of "that game is pretty gay" everyone already knows what the real intentions are. They just choose to make a big deal about it for whatever reason. I'm willing to bet at least %98 of you arguing about this here are not gay (or bi) so, why the fuck do any of you even care? I am pretty sure i'm the only person that has come out and said im bi, and guess what i don't care. If some new member joins, sees someone use the work "gay" in stead of "lame" or "sucks" or "not very good" and gets so offended that he or she never comes back and/or crys them self to sleep for a week. Good riddance.

People also use the lords name in vain all the time here. Nobody cares? I guess we should also stop saying "that sucks" because it's bashing all those brave women and men that preform fellatio from time to time. Maybe we also need to stop saying "that's lame" because it hurts the feelings of horses around the globe. Think of all the happier horses we could have in the world if we at RacketBoy make a stand! Now! Or maybe people need to stop being such hyper-sensitive annoying crybaby assholes that try to change everybody into their idea of what right/wrong is.

I happen to be bi and the use of the word "gay" to express a general lameness does not bother me. I do find that many of the people who you said word in everyday speech are quite irritating. I find that it shows a general lack of vocabulary knowledge and intelligence in general if it is used frequently. I find people who can't type/say a sentence without using the fucking word fuck in every fucking sentence are the most irritating of them all, but the forum seems to be devoid of such people. Thank god...

I have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

They just choose to make a big deal about it for whatever reason.

Because you are using gay as an insult? If you can't understand why using your sexuality as an insult is bad and harmful I no longuer know what to tell you.

I'm willing to bet at least %98 of you arguing about this here are not gay (or bi) so, why the fuck do any of you even care? I am pretty sure i'm the only person that has come out and said im bi, and guess what i don't care.

So because you are bi you know no gay people is offended? Are you really talking in name of all gay people because you are bi and that gives you special powers? Don't fucking kid me, man.

Gay people are offended by this. Period. You can be all special and cool and offensive towards yourself all you want, but not in this forum.

And what please, gives you the power to decide all Gay people are offended?

Are you the Gay overlord? Aka The Gaylord? Oh im sorry, I must have offended you just now!

I am speechless, you are a grade A hypocrit. Even got any gay friends? Ever kissed a men on the cheeks? You must seem to know pretty good what everyone on the whole wide world seems to think, or better yet, you seem to enjoy dictacting what people are to think and say.

You are kinda like Hitler, except you support all minoritys, while they actually give a shit about what you think they get offended about or not. Congratulations on your supreme Wisdom and your excercise of forcing your morales onto everyone, I bet you are a full blown catholic christian too

Now now children, lets remain calm. One of the great parts of this forum is we can have these discussions without everybody insulting and trolling etc. and having the thread locked 2 pages in.

[Niode]

Bi... pfft. I know people who claim to be bi... You know what, my gay friends won't associate themselves with those people. So to say you speak for gay people because you're bi says absolutely squat about homosexuality as a whole.

I think that nobody has 'come out' (eesh, I went there) and spoken up for whether or not this really is an issue for them speaks volumes for the amount of prejudice in this thread. I'm 100% sure that we have homosexual members, and I have no problem with that and neither should any of you lot.

That's such a bullshit theory.

Here's Niode's theory: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a picture of kittens being posted approaches 1.
