Hah, that's what you think. Homosexuals and Mexicans aren't people.

I'm mostly curious if there's a difference between bnet mentality on PvE servers versus PvP servers. It seems like most of the immature brats would be on PvP realms. I've only played on two PvP servers (Mannoroth and Lightning's Blade), both of which are cest pools to a certain extent. Can anyone from a PvE server comment on the situation there?

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.
But that is the whole point, that most people when using this language don't make that connection.

There's no inherent property in any word that gives it one meaning and one meaning only. Words change, have different definitions, and mean different things to different people.

Just because you don't think fag can be synonymous with douchebag doesn't mean it can't. That's the point.

How is using gay or nigger in a derogatory manner wrong, but using retard or moron in the same way is not? I work with plenty of special needs and mentally challenged children that are cool as shit. Why should I be limited to calling you a fucking retard instead of a fucking faggot or fucking cocksucker? Why is fucking retard acceptable?

It's acceptable because people with downs don't bitch about the terms. I don't throw nigger around as an insult because I dislike the word, but fuck if I care when someone else uses it. It's a word, everyone takes shit, get over it.

As for vurt, if fag is synonymous with a common insult like douchebag, its an insult to anyone who identifies themself as a fag. I don't give a shit if you insult cocksuckers everywhere, but you're a stupid fuck if you can't understand that using fag as an insulting word in itself might just insult someone who considers themself a fag, you stupid faggot queertard.

What the fuck?

I just went over how no word has an absolute, single definition. Fag is not an "insulting word in itself"-- it is when it is. Seriously, get with the fucking program.

Yeah get with the program. This guy here, he's with the program. In fact, he invented the program. Well maybe not invented it, but he was crucial to the funding of the program's infrastructure. Get with it.

The program that is.

Also an agreement on two points: the community is retarded in general and you could also call them a bunch of fags! If one is ok but the other isn't you have some fucking SERIOUS hypocrisy issues. Also, I've been called a nigger about 7,386 times, casually...not black. Don't use it mysef (anymore...was it all the Goldeneye deathmatches?? Who can say...).

Is Nigga really a prejudicial word anymore? As hard as it is to believe there was a time when the word "Humbug" was so horrible it was never uttered. Now it's so stupid people don't even care when it's said. Regardless of historical definitions language is constantly being changed.

Faggot was a term originating from the Salem which trials, and how they'd bind homosexuals and use them as kindling for the fires like a bundle of sticks or Faggot. Do you really think people playing World of Warcraft have a sense of history when it comes to using Faggot as an insult? Does the insult have that deep of a meaning or is it simply reduced to the same twelve year old bantering of calling someone a "dooty-head?"

And why the hell do you care? If you're some champion of human rights shouldn't your energies be focused else where? or are you upset because you believe these words have some sort of archaic power over the opinions of people. I'm honestly curious why these words offend.

Those words don't really offend me. I think people who use them constantly probably aren't the wittiest of people and have to constantly resort back to the "Book of Stock Insults", however. As much as it pains me to say it, this is the internet and you're not going to change the world complaining about people here.
