It's not about being uptight. It's about maturity, common sense, and logic. Insulting people is fine, joking around is fine, calling people stupid fucks is fine.

But when I'm beating somebody at any game, all I hear is "Fag, Newb, Noob, Nub, Faggot, nigger, Beaner" etc etc. First of all, if I am beating them, how does that make me a newb? The word has become a general insult, and it's probably the most retarded craze since Roller Skates. Same thing with "fag", some how I am automatically a homosexual since I am beating them at a video game, or I have a darker skin tone. It pretty much makes me believe they do fail at everything IRL, to get so angry over a game. They are "nerds" that are supposed to be smart and good at video games, but they lose at both, and at real life. So they take out on people online, calling everybody homosexuals and new players to the game.

It's quite hilarious really.

So kids, let's stick to the classics, "Stupid fuck", "Dumb fuck", "Shit head", "Fucktard" and any other derivitive of "fuck". Because "newb, nigger, jew, spick, beaner, faggot" all have no logic and just make your dumb pimple face look stupid.

GGNR.

Personally my beliefs don't support homosexual relationships, however, I'm not about to run around calling everybody I see a faggot. To me the word just screams immaturity now. And I know if you talk to just about any gay person they will tell you they are pretty annoyed by the fact that the most common insult used around the world now is a definition of their sexual preference. Whether or whether not the person saying it has anything against it.

hmm

When people say "Your gay" it doesnt even reference to being homosexual. Dont confuse those. Your gay, unless your not using it a "cut-down" kind of way, doesnt even reference homosexual. It usually means, your doing better then me at this game, and I being a competitive person must find a way to piss you off for beating me.

Don't kid yourself, anyone that says "You're gay" or "thats gay" or "This shit is gay" is using the term gay as a reference to something stupid. Its origin being that being gay, is being stupid.

Trying to justify it any other way is just pulling the wool over your own eyes and screaming "Lalalala i cant hear you!!".

What are you, 12? I think everyone here realizes that calling someone "gay" these days does not imply that that individual is a homosexual. You don't need to explain your incredibly unique viewpoint.

Remember when you were in high school and passing notes was cool? Remember when you got into college and passing notes wasn't so cool because it was "high school"? It's kind of like that except you're using the word "nigger" and "beaner" because you think it's k-rad. (that's a high school word for "cool" except it's no longer funny because no one else gets it) Get it?

Meanings of words change. To a lot of the people slinging "fag" and "nigger" around, it has little to do with anyone's sexual orientation or ethnic origin. Fag can be synonymous with douchebag as far as I'm concerned.

But, I understand that a lot of people don't feel this way. Some people's politically correct ears bleed when they hear these terrible words. As much as I think that they simply don't get it, I have to respect the fact that they don't get it and that it does insult them. As general practice, I'll never use these words around people I'm not sure are comfortable with them.

When I'm talking to people I'm comfortable with, you're damned right I'll call them faggots and niggers. Oh, we're just using those words because we're trying to be cool and we heard it on Dave Chapelle. Well guess what: a lot of the words you use you're only using because they're popular in your day; it's essentially how language evolves.

These words do have a dark history, and that does necessarily carry some weight. In all honesty, I believe that if everyone became comfortable with "fags" and "niggers," that'd be a great step in the right direction. If you make a specific point about ignoring racism and sexual biggotry, you're making a specific point about it being a big deal. That, ultimately, breeds more biggotry. If, however, everyone would stop giving a shit, people would consequently stop giving a shit about who a guy fucks or the color of someone's skin.

I should add a bit of a caveat though: there's a lot of kids out there who feed off of someone's disgust of their clever wordplay (e.g. niggerfag) and generally like being a nuisance. That anonymity + audience = fuckwad thing is incredibly accurate for just about anyone in their teens. But make no mistake, if these idiots weren't slinging fags and niggers, they'd be saying something else equally insulting to the PC police.

Bolded the irony for the 05'ers.

No NIGGER Im not. We dont pass notes, we couldnt afford paper cause some cracker stole my job, and I had a jew boss fire me.

That being said ~ I could care less that no one else says k-rad or whatever else it is, if its in my vocab, and its something myself and my friends respond to its going to be said ~ so stop being gay.

Do like you said, if you cant deal with it, dont join it. This is the internet, if your taking anything to personal, or hell even considering something someone said longer then the 5 seconds it takes to read the post, youve lost what the internet means nowadays.
Better?

You should talk duder. I'm not the one who just called a complete stranger a "NIGGER" for shock value. Don't take things so personally, kid.

This shits been around since the dawn of the interwebs? Learn to mentally filter the shit out, it's really that simple. If you're really that touchy, just /report them and move on.

Yeah, how this is 2 pages spiced with an essay here or there is beyond me.

and instead of getting pissy about the profanity, why not employ the tried and true internet tactic of endlessly making fun of these morons who have a chat command to add nigga after every third word? Dear sweet Innoruuk, how hard can it be to tweak the nerves of an ADHD b.net kiddie?

If they say "nigga bitch jew faggot cock" at you, repeat it back with even more foolishness, like "fucktard nigga trick ass bitch buttjamming assclown." Let that escalate a bit, and they'll tire of the idiocy. If that doesn't work, tell them you are a black homosexual jew irl and you and your posse are gonna roll 'em yo.

Then again, you could just accept certain realities of the Internet and get over it. And whining about this shit on this forum especially cracks me up. Talk about the least sympathetic audience possible for being overly sensitive to profanity and racial slurs....lawl

If they banned every person who said a racial slur in game wow would be down to 5 full servers. Hell you couldn't get into the guild i was in without first agreeing you wouldn't be offended by racial slurs and bad mouthing from other members. And when they joined vent we made sure to say the word nigger and call people jews every other sentence. Even our resident black member always laughed at it. Im a spic and never got offended when someone called me it. Take it in stride my friends, move on and get over the fag political correctness thats abundant these days. I doubt anybody who says that is actually a racists.

Ahhh, delightful.

Nothing makes a thread about racist or prejudicial language more gold than the usual "if you can't take a joke you should relax"

Interestingly, such attitudes are overwhelmingly presented by paragons of intellect who can't even manage to differentiate between "your" and "you're".

And that someone can say, with a straight face, "I think of gay as being the same as calling someone a douchebag" as if to say that's somehow not offensive is quite an impressive lack of getting-the-point.
