What game character are you?

"Fag" is the word that comes to my mind, but to avoid the big discussion from happening all over again, I'll choose a new word:

Loser.

I know, using homosexual slurrs is not very PC, but still, this guy sounds like a loser Fag.

P.S. I love gay people. Really.

 

just add the word "dumb" or "stupid" to the beginning and you nailed it. :smt023

 

I have to admit, a lot of my friends use "gay" when they mean somethings crap/bad/whatever, but it really pisses me off. If I said something like "haha my mate lost to me on Soul Calibur, what a fucking Jew!" I would (quite rightly) get a kicking.

It just gets my goat (so to speak) that we can make slurs against homosexuals or using slang terms for them, and its accepted. But if someone uses a religion/ethnic word, its going too far.

Im probably just a bit too over sensitive about it... I will shut up now... :toimonster:

 

well what does "bloody" mean?
like youre a bloody idiot!
where did that come from?

 

Who knows? its just used to emphasise a feeling like your example:

You are an idiot - insult

You are a bloody idiot - stronger insult

 

Arround here Gay is usually used in the same manner.

Being gay myself i don't mind people saying it, i know the people who say it don't insult gays it's just a word that has become so common it loses impact, never met any gays yet that have been offended by people using it to describe something stupid or dumb etc.. :smt045

 

Well now that i found out i am jill valentine.. How many gay video game shooters are there? ANd how many made it over here to the US and the rest of the world changed?

 

I wouldn't say this applies to usual behaviour universally. There are some ethnicities/religions/other groups in general to whom society widely tend to apply labels and stigma without any 'PC' backlash, labels that are disutrbing in their acceptance as accepted views on others.


What it really boils down to is what media condemns as slurs/non-PC/anti-(insert group label here) and thus conditions most of a society to see as such. Condemn Sharon and you're anti-Semist. Support Sharon's massacre in Sabra and Shatila, you're not a potential extremist or terrorist.

It's not these labels that personally bother me as such; it's the unfortunately often deep-rooted sentiment and thinking that often causes it, which can be much more harmful as an occasional expression of deep-seated and festering vitriolence as opposed to the occasional slur said in jest/lighhearted ignorance.

Oops, that was OT. If I remember correctly I think I was MasterChief. :-(
