CrownRoyal's game was so hilariously bad that it just couldn't not win. It is used throughout the SC community to describe such acts. I'm sure no one in this community has any disrespect towards gays and it is simply another word used to describe events. Oh cmon  It's racewars!! There needs to be blatant racism else wheres the fun I am a Protoss player myself, my favorite player is a Protoss player. Nobody should be taking this seriously at all. Just because it's accepted and used doesn't mean it's right. And this doesn't change the fact that this is hurtful. | ||

 Idk, I thought I made it pretty clear in requesting that Plexa has the right to do whatever he wants. I think that you are being unfair =/. | ||

Jokes aside, imo you complaining about it is worse than plexa using it, since it's used commonly, and in no way disrispectful to homosexuals (at least I don't mean it that way when I use it, and I'm pretty sure plexa doesn't either). Like many words, it has found a niche in Starcraft, where it's original (ok second original) meaning is twisted to fit it's sc usage. Yes, it probably was first used in a derogatory fashion, but more in the goal of describing something than to actually insult homosexual people. There's lots of words like that, and we still use them. Is it ok? Probably not, but it's already a tradition now, changing it would make us loose a part of our vocabulary, and with it, a part of the past. Ironically, if you bring that up, why not also bring up the kidnaping of the word gay from english, and totally ruining it's original meaning - beyond any recognition. It's sad that the only way people know what "gay" really means is when they learn about the meaning of the homosexual "gay", and someone points out that it really ment happy/marry in the beginning. Anyway, this is offtopic. We want an update when the Icon changes! :D And this time, no winged monkeys please. | ||

I'll add on - Get over it because if you're offended by it then YOU are the one that sees something wrong or shameful in it, whereas Plexa used it as a figure of speech and not an attack against homosexuals. | ||

Just like nigger might be ok for white people to say amoungst themselves but not around black people. Overall unless you think it is wrong because you are gay then you can be quiet. | ||

Just like nigger might be ok for white people to say amoungst themselves but not around black people. Overall unless you think it is wrong because you are gay then you can be quiet. Like I said before, I think that if you are gay and you think it's wrong, that means you are being oversensitive over something that is clearly NOT meant to be offensive to homosexuals. In terms of slang, it means lame. That association is negative, yes, but it's not like every time the person means that being gay is lame. It's a common social slang word, get over it, there is no point in getting your panties in a bunch every time you hear it. | ||

As such, I take offense to the use of the word "race" with regard to species difference. Race is an extremely hurtful myth founded on bad science and perpetuated by popular culture. Further, I feel that the invocation of war with regard to virtual, but otherwise perfectly natural interspecies competition, is disrespectful to veterans of actual wars where actual people die. In the future please refer to these virtual interspecies competitions as such. Sincerely, A Concerned Team Liquid Citizen p.s. protoss is a chobo race, lolol faggots ROFL! Integral ftw. | ||
