imo, cunt isn't used to call people friends, while nigga is. For what ever reason people have began changing the definition of the word. Sorta how gay used to mean colorful or fag used to mean bundle of sticks. People just cling to the old definition and use the old definition as a way to say the new definition is bad. But it's relative to the person, so don't use it around people who still use the old def. Sorry but you gave a bad example; cunt still means sex slave :D (to most people ;p)

Oh look, using it as an insult. He may be segregating along a stereotypical fault line, but he's still using it as an offensive term.

Very clearly piling a whole lot of negative attributes on to the word. The negative connotations can't be overcome in an open venue. In a private, closed forum, where you can CONTROL who hears you, the context argument can kinda work. But not anywhere semi-public.

Uhm, sorry, but this argument requires a fitting context. If I say something is gaily painted, or I'm feeling gay, that's one thing. But if I call a person gay, in an insulting context, I'm clearly using the word to associate negative traits with a stereotype to direct an insult, and any attempt to say it was intended to be something else is a purely semantic cop-out.

If you're going to talk that way, at least have the balls to take the consequences.

I said it was relative and to use it around people who wont take offence to it. I never said it was ok. I was trying to say he cant compare the words cunt and nigga as people still use cunt to mean sex slave while nigga is used to mean slave/friend, depending on the context. As of now im not taking sides as I have not seen the way Destiny used the word. I would like it if you could show me though

That would be so well played, if that sort of taking things out of context wasn't exactly what people are trying to say people are doing with Destiny.

"Have the balls" in this context, just means "Have the courage".

balls, Slang: Vulgar .
a.
boldness; courage; brashness.

What? I'm supposed to believe that you didn't mean it that way?

Sounds familiar.

Just goin to add in...

Why does everyone take this single screen shot as the ultimate proof or truth of him being offensive, and we have people anaylzing the context of what he's saying, etc..?

If you've ever watched his stream you would know that this is nothing, really..it's a common occurence. and do you really think this is that bad? have you ever HEARD what he says.. not just types?

I have watched his stream for maybe an hour total, in maybe 2-3 seperate occasions, and you can't watch it without seeing something that can be taken as offensive. It could be seen as racism at times, it could be seen as offensive..but.. WHO CARES

But honestly, the way he talks to people online and deals with certain people, especially people he loses to, isn't the best way to go about it. Does it surprise you he got a "One month ban" of TL? Who cares, I've been banned for 90 days before, couldn't work on my stream at all.

Destiny left his clan from what I heard so that's his choice. And if he's truly a good player, and has a great entertainment value, then he will have no problem finding other outlets to express that and demonstrate it..

If you want to pretend he chose that word by some random chance or co-incidence, that's fine, but don't expect many people to respect that decision or take you very seriously.

Does it matter? Even in context the words are still offensive as evidenced by the fact that we're having this conversation about them. It's not like you hear people saying "What!? You "love" me!? I am offended by your affection!

It is 2 syllables, but it is steeped in a history of oppression and discrimination and violence. I hope we can all be civil and use words that are more polite and socially acceptable, especially if we are attempting to demonstrate friendship.

Also that screenshot is definitely not demonstrating friendship.

Oh and one more thing, tone is difficult to convey in text, especially short sentences without sufficient context, it's much easier to be mistaken as offensive (or otherwise, depending on the reader) on the internet, so why not exercise caution instead of using these contested words liberally?

But what is private/public sector in something such as our videogame community? I see many instances where I feel what he does is more protected and other which violates and offends others, we could start with the first.
I guess the first violation hes done is obviously saying it out loud in game, which can be interpreted as a public...uhh...area?
And i can understand why people would be upset.

Then there is the other medium such as his stream, much like a private closed off community, of people who are fine with it.

Then remakes a mistake by publicly addressing it and probably throwing it around too much, hence his ban (what i see fitting, even as a destiny fan/lover)

In most of those threads, it really feels like people mix up all these violations, mix up reasons why he got banned, what should be protected and where its not ok to say such shit.
