hurr Rep: 65  Joined: 03 Feb 2006 Posts: 19,012 OFFLINE | Why is there such a sudden concern with the word “faggot” lately? Why is it being censored and banned from use?
One might say “oh, it’s discriminatory!"
One would be an idiot.
the dictionary wrote:
characterized by or showing prejudicial treatment
No one is being prejudged by commonplace usage of “faggot” anymore than if someone is called “stupid, fat, talentless," or really any other non-flattering word you can throw at someone.
One might say “oh, it’s offensive!"
One would have to learn: Any word is offensive if the person hearing it is enough of a pussy about it. I’m sure the guy living in the trailer park in Alabama with a confederate flag in his yard doesn’t like being called a “hick”, but should we censor that word too?
For fun, here’s a list of other words and phrases that should be censored along with faggot, if we want to be fair about this whole thing:
Hooligan
Vandal
Retard
Fatass
Cannibal
Hip Hip Hooray
Redneck
Barbarian
Bugger
Bastard
Gyp
Yank
Kirby
I want to bring special attention to the last two: “yank” and “kirby”, words used for northern americans and black people, respectively. These words are used commonly in every day usage without any derogatory intent, with phrases such as “yankin' your chain” or “I bought a new Kirby game” being innocent sentences. But, if “faggot” is to be censored regardless of context or intent, eliminated on-sight as a word, then so should the words “yank” and “kirby”.
Times change, definitions of words change. Quit being faggots about it, grow a pair, and stop acting like massive blubbering pussies.
In closing:
Fuck you. ---

And its because we’ve had complaints about it being offensive. If it becomes a problem like I’ve said before, it must be dealt with. --- "To sing when you hurt,and to sing when you cry,to sing when you live and to sing when you die”

I’m honestly a bit surprised they’re censoring faggot.
Seems a bit useless to me. Did we do that when I was mod? I don’t remember doing that. Must be something new. ---
