What is really hilarious to me is that there are 2 hot threads on TL right now, both revolving around gay themed news, and both of them have been on South Park, in my opinion in awesome episodes.

I understand that not everyone likes South Park sense of humor, but people should really watch that episodes, and see how far and how absurd this things are.

I don't get why do minority groups make such big deals around such small stuff, especially in America, since that just reinforces the stereotypes (gays/black people being hyper sensitive).

EDIT: Wrong thread.
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

I don't know why people get so offended over stupid crap like this...watch MTV for a day and you will see it's far worse and has been for a long time.

That did not offend me.

I think a bunch of what he says is in poor taste, so I can't see myself being friends with the guy, but who cares. *shrug*

People are so hypersensitive sometimes...

Why the hell is the gay community offended? I could see why people who love Alliance would be but I cincerely cant see why anyone would be offended just because they're gay..

It was a stupid issue IMO. But I am glad that Blizzard apologized, as much as we like to pretend otherwise once you are in the spotlight you have to take into account what you say and how it can offend someone.

I mean, I don't condone this kind of stuff. But I don't think they meant to offend anyone with this. And they apologized

Because calling the Alliance gay means that being gay is "wrong". You see the Alliance being attacked and insulted, and one of those insults is using "fag" or "gay". How does that not seem offensive to you?

Aren't there more important things out there people should be worrying about? There is a huge debt bubble in Europe, the US playing conquer the middle east, there's a war going on in Mexico that's spreading up here, the global economy is hanging on by threads, and people bitch about what some heavy metal singer from a band called Cannibal Corpse said at a gaming convention?

I was just commenting about how people seem to get so upset over little things. I have no problem with it, I just find it a little odd.

This is hilarious! I actually really, really adored WoW back in vanilla (expansions murdered it) and yeah, I played Horde because fuck Alliance. It's all in good fun! I think he's really funny to watch and I enjoy listening to his rants. Maybe it's just my nostalgia talking, I dunno.

On a separate note, anti-gay slurs? Are you serious? If we're complaining about that we might as well ban Destiny from Blizzard-sponsored tournaments because he says "faggot" all the time on his stream. Hell, my high school English teacher said "nigger" all the time, because it was relevant to Huck Finn. Doesn't mean he should lose his ability to teach.

Calm down, guys xD

That's a completely idiotic point to make. There's always something horrible in the world, should we just succumb to it and not discuss anything other than war or famine? Get off your high horse.

I think this post is much more important than gay people getting offended by words.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3424466214#new-post

People are taking the alliance rivalry too damn far. It's just a fucking game. Blizzard should try to be neutral to both alliances but I get the feeling that they are too one sided (Horde)

BUT! fuck WoW

Seriously, this. Hey guys, I just got shot three times! Oh, stop whining, there's a war in Libya, why are you crying about some insignificant bullet wounds?

My personal take on it is similar to using any generic vulgarity to insult someone. For example, calling another guy a "bitch" isn't the same as being anti-female.

Is the video offensive? Sure. Do you have the right to be offended? Absolutely. Is it anti-gay? Highly doubt it.

Given that the context is WoW and not, say, an anti-gay rally; I'm finding it hard to be offended from anything other than his (non-directed) vulgarity.
