Steve Hughes has a pretty damn good rant on why being offended is incredibly stupid. What happens when you're offended? NOTHING. Just forget it and move on, he obviously didn't mean anything negative towards homosexuals, he was using a colliqualism. Grow up people. Oh, and here's the video. | ||

And most people don't give a fuck about some people so some people should just shut up and take it in the ass or whatever they like to do... | ||

If you're gay, and you're actually hurt by the words "homo" and "faggot" then I don't look down on you for being homosexual, I look down on you for being a huge pussy. So if I call you a nigger, that's alright then? | ||

Just because someone's manner of speech isn't politically correct does not mean they are looking to offend someone specific. It's all about the way it is said and under what pretenses, not what is said. Context is king. There's a big difference when "you fucking nigger" or "fucking faggot" is said in an actual confrontation than when it is said in video-game banter. | ||

Actually no, I literally wouldn't get offended no matter what you called me. It's a word, it only means something if you let it mean something, just ignore it and move on. | ||

You really are pretty stupid. Try to think outside your own ethnicity and use some common sense. | ||

If so shouldn't we analyze the IDEAS being expressed instead of the language? If someone says "faggot" with the MEANING that they hate gay people and are trying to offend someone for being gay, isn't that different than using it in the banter we often see in online games? | ||

CONTEXT PEOPLE, CONTEXT What next, forming a posse to lynch the guy for using words in a negative connotation which may or may not have been referring to persons of specific sexual orientation? It is one thing to fight for the right for two consenting adults engage in activities in the privacy of their bedroom, but this is madness. Personal army much? | ||
