A fag by any other name...well is just a fag...

I was in imho and a discussion about the word fag came up. Actually I used faggoty fairy to describe what I am not. It offended a few and I tried to argue that I’m bi, i feel like I’m allowed to say that about myself.
I feel as though it’s ok to use the word to describe someone and not try to use it as ammo and hurt another. For crying out loud, if you hang out with gay people long enough you’ll hear it said plenty. Especially,in my opinion, if they aren’t too busy trying to push their lifestyle into the public eye. Most gay people i know aren’t offened by the words faggoty fairy. Its simply aother way of saying I’m not a bottom I will punch you in the face. Or whatever.
I don’t believe its something to get bent out of shape about. I still compare it to blacks calling themselves niggers. If you offend another in the process, tough, deal with it.
To those of you I offended by the use of fag on that board, lets agree to disagree, shall we. After all, only a faggoty fairy would let something so silly get under their skin. :smack: Damn! Sorry.Come on, It isn’t as if I tied matthew sheppard up and whispered that into his ear as he lay dying. Don’t compare it to something that heinous.
I used fag in a post about the size of men penises being attractive. damn. Are there any gay men that agree?

ohhhhh boy…

You know, if you really do have unresolved death wish issues, it would be so much easier for us all if you’d just drink the kool aid.

Maybe a link to the thread in question would help? :rolleyes:

By the way, does this count towards my pit thread total?

There you go with the group mentality thing. If you have an issue with what I posted, speak on it.

You are really a fucking moron.

There’s nothing wrong with YOU using a word because it doesn’t offend YOU? Even though YOU are bisexual? Not homosexual? And of COURSE not one of those ‘faggoty fairies’.

It’s not all about you, shithead.

Wow.

As a newbie I have been reluctant to comment on any of your posts. I feel that some of the other long time posters here are better qualified than I am to do that. However, I can’t hold it back any longer.

You are a fucking idiot.

Yes, you are free to express yourself as you see fit, but for Og’s sake, show a little bit of intelligence every now and then.

That’s all I have to say. For now on, “DNFTT” is my motto.

Oh, wonderful. Just when I’d decided to give you the benefit of the doubt in your other lame-ass Pit thread, you pull this shit.

Here’s another vote for “fucking idiot.”

It has negative connotations , just like nigger does. And I still do not see the right for you to people “fairy fags” even if you’re bisexual.
Also, you’re a moron. I guess you enjoy multiple pittings.

Well, since up to this point the only one to mention you was you, I’d have to say it doesn’t count. :slight_smile:

That OP was so gay.

Run, now, fast.

INCOMING!!!

Hmmm… "I’m not a “Faggoty Fairy”! “I’m not a Faggoty Fairy”! … nahhh you’d still be better of with “I’m not a bottom, I will punch you in the face”. That way they are clear just what a rough and tough pair of non-faggoty hombres you and your penis are.

::sigh::

We don’t allow hate speech on this message board. This includes people calling THEMSELVES fags, niggers, whatever.

For the Straight Dope

Out of curiosity just what is “hate speech” definition wise?

Maybe he’s self hating?

So, out of curiosity, how many warnings does it usually take before someone gets banned? He’s been told to straighten up and fly right by mods in GQ and IMHO that I know of, and by Lynn here. I’d guess that ice he’s doing figure 8’s on is just about to break.

So, who wants to start a pool for when he’ll finally get the boot?

I’d say it’s any term used to deride a minority group. That’s the usual working definition, anyway. You know, niggers, fags, dykes, sheenies, towel-heads, that sort of thing.
