What's with calling things gay? That's not like you, and its not 1998 public elementary school anymore.

How can you be so sure? Yesterday vanished, maybe the last 20 years will be next!

Which is why I keep doing it. I also like to use the word retard a lot.

Here's to tomorrow 🍸

 

[PsychedelicDiamond]

For Petes sake. What is it with this site?

 

[bluegate]

Maybe someone restored a day old database back up? Who cares at this point though?

 

[TopazFusion]

On the bright side, if you got moderated (or even banned) yesterday, your crimes are magically forgiven and forgotten.

Well, I wanted to read the rest of that Jar Jar Binks thread and it's completely gone now, so...

 

[Canadamus Prime]

For Petes sake. What is it with this site?

It's been abandoned by it's owners and is continuing to deteriorate without an adequate tech support team.

How is it offensive? He isn't insulting anyone in the LGBT community in this proper context.

As an LGBT person who went to Highschool, yeah it is offensive.

It is not offensive though.

Explain how using the word in a way which is either inherently negative or a derogatory put down isnt offensive?

Quietly placing bets that you dont identify as it, and are going to shrug it off as 'just a thing people say, not a big deal'.

Marik wasn't using it to insult somebody, if he was wouldn't he be modded? Context matters. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay
"Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to mean "carefree", "cheerful", or "bright and showy"."

If Marik was openly using it to insult someone, then I wouldn't be defending him now.

'If he did something wrong, then he would be punished' is not sound logic.



And no, 'If I am defending them, then they did nothing wrong' is also not sound logic.


Here is context for you, an LGBT person is offended by their use of the word but two non LGBT people said it is ok. Who to believe?

The day offended me, so I contacted my buddy Thanos to snap his fingers and make the day disappear.

Refer to anything you are disgusted by as "cis white male" from now on. Obviously there's no offence to be found in that, is there? How would anyone have a problem with that?

People have used the word gay as a non-insult for a long time, is the majority of the population now homophobic for saying it?

Classic moving of goalposts.

And you're deflecting.

I am not letting you put me on the defensive with your fallacy. Marik was being offensive and you're defending that. And yeah! A ton of people are homophobic for using gay the way they have. Again, I was an LGBT person in highschool. I heard it all the fucking time, because so many people do not care and do not appreciate how offensive it is to use what someone is as an insult. When you do that, you are saying that being gay is an insulting thing to be.
