It's wrong, and people will keep doing it until they come to understand it as unacceptable. If someone referred to a Korean as a "gook" on this forum, people would be all over them, and rightly so. Why should the reaction to other forms of hate speech be any different? | ||

When I open that LR thread, I want to see stuff like, "Uh oh, Shine's about to get a heavy dose of reality" or "Time for a reality check, Action!" Edit: Also, "Roro better scout this soon.. Shit's about to get real." Okay, that's a stretch. | ||

Agreed.. the lift into a corner + alt tab follow up is some of the worst shit to deal with on iccup.. maybe not as bad as this though :p | ||

Gook is racist and intended that way. Saying an SC build is gay is not intended as a slight against homosexuals in just the same way that it's not describing the build as festive and colourful. | ||

Saying an SC build is gay is not intended as a slight against homosexuals in just the same way that it's not describing the build as festive and colourful. Regardless of what you intend, you're still conflating homosexuality with something negative, which is still homophobic. Calling a build you don't like "gay" and saying you didn't intend it to be insulting to homosexuals is no more legitimate than calling cooking "women's work" and saying you don't intend to be insulting to women. | ||

I like the analogy; I hadn't heard it put that way before. | ||
