Nothing new, just the gayest of gay terran builds. Would you mind explaining exactly what this build has to do with homosexuality? Because Terran players that can't play a straight up game will use it. Like Leta for example. Great players like Flash are too boss for such gimmicks.
If I recall, one of Flash's old nickname was Cheddar....

This game is gay; let’s play a different one. = I dislike this game; let’s play a different one. This should make it clearer for you. If by wikipedia you mean wiktionary. Learn to cite sources. Also, stop being homophobic.
Thank you for saving the universe from the pejorative usage of gay. If not for you, he would never have completely overhauled his vocabulary, recanted his statement, and become a gay rights activist.

OK guys, stop with the "gay" discussion now please.

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?

I never used the word myself in this thread, and I don't intend to either. But my point still stands: this build penetrates anuses.

I'd rather call it "the Reality Check" or something similarly apropos. 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.

What about them is unproductive?

Because this is a thread about Reality's build order, and that discussion is not even remotely related to that. It's in fact not related to SC at all. Keep it out of this thread.

Wrong? Get over it. 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.

Even though Reality's play was incredibly abusive and probably made Zerg players all over the world rage in front of their computers, you gotta agree that it was so much more respect-worthy than a generic proxy BBS or similar.  It was well thought out and fun to watch.

Another possible name: the Rube Goldberg build.

Lol, Flash started off as a masterfull cheeser(remember, he only had 10min breaks during school to go to a PCbang and in a game in 10min).

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.
