In an ideal world yes. Unfortunately this isn't an ideal world, this is the internet. Welcome.

[babrah]

You belong on reddit. They do word-policing there all the time

[newbie3]

Oh they weren't discriminated against?? Do you not see the very thread you are posting in you ignorant pos? And they are very segregated in society because they don't belong. Worst most ignorant comment I have ever read on the internet jackass.

thank you. finally someone who gets it

fact is, many miscers are ignorant jackasses who are too dumb to form their own opinion

He said "because of their race". Are *******s a race? Learn to understand what you're reading dumbfuk.

good job looking past the point and sticking to one inconsistency in the post, i didnt remove that part because i knew someone would point it out and get mad

[CurlsInDaRack]

[macapollo]

so that makes it ok to demean and insult them for something out of their control?

You do understand the terms "*******" and "***got" are used in a different context right? You seem to be confused

[Handsome Maxout]

Sorry OP, its the misc, which is a pretty poor reflection of societal norms. No matter how old or outdated jokes get, you're not going to get rid of "*******" anymore than "dat dere celltech". I don't know if it's because many misc'ers are insecure about their bodies, actually have a fundamental value of homophobia, or just like the word, but it doesn't matter. Majority rules and in this case, it is not OP. *******.

[newbie3]

ah, i see. so it is totally fine to make fun of someone for something they are born with, something out of their control, as long as it's not their race.

i guess it's cool to make fun of ugly people, or disabled people, or people with mental problems, etc.

[deadsoul]

thank you. finally someone who gets it

why do you keep insulting donkeys, bro? wtf.

What the fck is so hard to understand about THE WORD HAS NOT CARRIED THAT MEANING WITH IT FOR A LONG LONG TIME?!?!?!?




Meanings of words change. Get over it.




If anything homosexuals should be embracing the use of the word because it dilutes the potency of it....words have as much power as you give them.

[RevolutionL]

This thread is gay. OP is a *******.

[iainf]

this is exactly the type of response i expected. typical rude, ignorant, inconsiderate misc.

insulting people does not make you "alpha". it makes you a jackass.

so i suppose you are all fine with using racist and sexist words as insults, too?

yes i am, *******

[newbie3]

just because YOU don't think it doesn't carry that meaning or YOU use it without intending that meaning doesn't mean that it's not interpreted that way. sorry, but it is.

that's like me calling a group of black people the n-word and then, if they get mad, saying, "oh no, guys, it's cool. i didn't mean it like that. i meant it as a term of endearment." you think that's going to fly, or that it should?

I was responding directly to his response to another post because he took a single word out of context and formed an argument around it.

"Cool" has nothing to do with it. Don't ask any more loaded question fallacies that obviously lead to a strawman, please.

[lerkin]

Donkeys have feelings too *******.

[BlooYeti]

Strong Communist/Oppression of freedom

also ******* doesn't just mean gay dude, they chose to adopt that name permanently by accepting it and incorporating it in their protesting of anti-gay

meh i have nothing against gays, i just have grown to like saying the word. i mean i understand if ppl get offended, but there really is no reason to unless someone is outright flaming a homo.

So because you interpret a slang phrase which has no relation in meaning to its counterpart and are offended we should now ban this phrase?

[Judgment]

Yep, you guys are right. I'm wrong. That's what you wanted to hear and that's all that you will listen to. Go about your ignorant lives now

We'll carry on with our "ignorant" lives while you carry on with your sensitive life.

just because YOU don't think it doesn't carry that meaning or YOU use it without intending that meaning doesn't mean that it's not interpreted that way. sorry, but it is.

Strong double standard.

[ClothesRod]

i think you would like in on reddit OP
maybe you should GFTO and go there if you like policing how people express themselves.

you make no real argument for why we shouldn't say the word. you just say "oh thats offensive" and try to make it so nobody can act in a way you don't like.

one of the most valuable things on the internet is free speech, i'm constantly amazed how many people want to PC-police every nook and cranny.


it really shows what you think of others when you try an parent them by telling people what to say.

if you really believe that everyone that uses ******* is just an ignorant bigot who cant form their own opinions, well then i guess you have already pre-decided what you believe and you wont listen anyways.

I don't really care how you want to interpret a word.


Basically self-imposing an insult onto yourself when there is none there is the perfect example of whats wrong with society today. You're LOOKING to be insulted because you have nothing better to be concerned with. The fact is that the word doesn't mean what it used to. The fact is that if you're taking it personally its because you've made the decision to take it personally.


Like I said...get over it...stop looking for reasons to be butthurt.












(can we please stop comparing the word to n!gger? Is there any other argument that people have other than this?)

[JRCFC94]

What makes you think you can tell other people what words they can and cannot use?

[SuperShamou]

slippery slope brah...

then sloot
then fat
then black
then indian
then camel jockey
then all words we would be just reading this ***** a **** 3.50 **** *** ******** uwotm8 ****




i mean blokes from the UK can't talk about these anymore

[txdude1818]

I have always agreed but the thing is...we use the word ******* not ***got which I think is censored. I began to ponder well are we just using ******* to beat the censor? Well many people use the world phail instead of fail and the meaning is completely different and that is clearly evident from the spelling. However if a homosexual were to visit the MISC for the first time then he would probably be offended that everyone who is considered a degenerate on this forum is called a ******* which phonetically speaking would mean that the person in question is homosexual.

Are homosexual people degenerates? Of course not...but this is an ongoing battle in our society and too big a percentage of the world do think that this is the case.
If you took away all the homosexuals that served for the allied forces in WWII and died for our countries, then most probably we would have lost the war. In fact there was a famous homosexual code breaker who committed suicide because at the time in Britain homosexuality was illegal and he would have gone to prison (even though through his codebreaking he saved hundreds of thousands of lives).

In conclusion I think we must take accountability and responsibility of the language we use and if we are to use the term ******* we must play our part in the fight for a free, fair and equal society for all homosexuals everywhere throughout all humankind.

Praise the homosexuals. OP is not a *******.

[ukswimfanman]

At the end of the day, its a phucking word. OP is a skinnyfat *******

[ChernobylResist]

What makes you think you can tell other people what words they can and cannot use?

Strong this. What you're doing is called "word-policing", and it only serves the purpose of making few happy whilst the majority is rustled because they can't use "*******" anymore. It is the crux of anti-utilitarianism, and you belong solely on reddit.

[PervedOut]

not gonna lie, that "this will not end well" pic with the blonde girl and the bros gave me the strangest....and now i want the sauce
