Faggot

[Willy]

*****

you're not wanting it bad enough.

And that brings me to my next point, getting offended by everything. It's annoying as shit. "Don't use the words with a negative connotation because those words aren't negative." Ummm, yes they are. Faggot does not mean gay. Gay people should not be offended by the word faggot unless they are a faggot, which they should be offended and I mean to offend them. No normal human would want to be compared to a faggot, therefore it is an insult.

I disagree and it annoys me when ignorant/stupid people use the word gay and faggot for describing something lame or someone being a cunt.

Why is calling someone a fag any different than calling them a cunt

Just saw this sorry.

I made a thread about why swear words shouldn't be offensive a while back, if you wanted to check it out.

But words like nigger, fag, gay, jewish, gypsy, girly all stem from racism/sexism/homophobia etc. And it is easy to see why these words can be offensive.

inb4 Louie?

edit: Yep, that punchline about the son being a faggot was superb.

Bigray, tell me why ***** is more offensive that faggot...

It is just the way I feel....I can call 100 people a Faggot and maybe I will get a reaction from 2 or 3 people but if I go and call a 100 black people N*ggers the reaction will be much different, 90 out of the 100 will react.
So to me N*gger is much more offensive than Faggot and N*gga is much different than N*gger, much less offensive.

If you don't believe me try it.

Hence, why SliK said these people are hypocrites (in the fucking OP).

Nothing to do with being a hypocrite...explain what you mean?

Gay + Homo do not = Faggot
Faggot = Bitch or Fuck you
N*gger = is a Racist slur
N*ggA = homie, bro etc

Pretty fucking arbitrary break down - but I know what you're saying.

Here we go...If a white person says nigga. (remember we don't spell it out in real life) a lot of people find this offensive.

The OP was questioning - how is this different from calling someone a faggot.

Let's say this person is meaning a 'homie' and a 'dipshit' respectively.

It's double standards.

[CrashBand]

Well you are pretty much agreeing now and saying they are as offensive as one another.

Which I agree with.

SOciety is a lot more homophobic though and I'm sure a lot of black people that find the word nigga offensive have double standards towards other offensive word like faggot/gay etc.

I mean hell, take a look at any rap song or battle. (not including Same Love)

[CrashBand]

What I am saying is Faggot and N*gga is not offensive where as Gay, Homo and N*gger is Offensive.

It depends what side of the world ur on regarding Homophobia, Canada and US are more ok than the rest of the world.

Glad we agree now

Yeah I realise your difference between Faggot and Gay.

I personally don't like it when people use faggot/jewish/ etc. Which actually goes against how a lot of people feel about using the words.

Unless they are imposing the irony on it themselves.

[BigBoss]

How did you guys post it without it censoring

Cunt can be offensive to women

This example is only valid if you're calling 100 gay people a faggot as well, in which you would get just as many react to them as you did black people. Therefore your logic is out the window.

Cunt can be offensive to women

I argue that it shouldn't. Same as fuck, dick, shit. (unless I don't know how the word cunt orignated from and it was used to put down women. But I doubt that.)

Whereas I can understand why the words I mentioned can be offensive.

[BigBoss]

LUL I called you a faggot bro im 2edgy4you

No word should be offensive, not even faggot or nigger.
Just the context. Like if I go "omg you're a fucking cunt" you might be offended simply because I am being aggressive or whatever.

This is where I disagree with you.

Words have meanings. Which can be offensive.

If I call you an idiot. (not being agressive) You may take offense. Simply because of the meaning.

Or I might not, depending on the context
