Not really a debate, but something I would like to get opinions of from my peeps.
WARNING: MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE - Sensitive ninny's need not read.
Curious people - Yesterday I was told that I cannot use the term fag unless I had already taken in the practice of blowing dudes.
I used the term "Fag-Hag" which I have used many times over the course of my life and not once has anyone decided to tell me that was a term that I am not allowed to use because of my own personal lifestyle preference to not place a penis in me.
So, I ask you all - Is using the term fag in any way shape or form the same as me not being able to say nigger because I lack the proper skin tone?
What can I say? I tried to be nice about it. You had a bad run this year.
ReplyDeletesup, TBC banned me trollololol
ReplyDeleteI feel like that is an intelligent, well thought out statement.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree with it.
the worst sin someone can do is to be politically correct
ReplyDeletelol +1 Grrouchie
ReplyDeletewell, evidently it's not a hung jury then.
ReplyDelete;)
ReplyDeleteLOL You can say it...and the jury's still out on whether or not you have a vagina. :)
ReplyDeleteOther than the phrase "fag-hag" towards my friends who have lots of gay friends, I have never really used the term very often.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in my college days was when the whole "oh, that's so gay" thing was really really big and that basically had the same connotations.
Also, thanks for clearing that up for me bitch (or can I not say that as well since I do not have a vagina?)
:)
Oh, I'm never going to change. I'll take all the ridicule and abuse people want to dish out. I've been offensive since I learned how fun it was.
ReplyDeleteYou can teach an old dog new tricks, but you can't stop him from making offensive jokes.
Also, I have not seen those commercials. I guess they don't play them during NFL games.
Tom Brady: "Remember boys and girls, while my team is out there playing professional Smear the Queer - Fag is a hateful word and should never be said aloud!"
Josie, I'm so happy to see your one eye under my Followers area :)
ReplyDeleteYep - context is key - as is surrounding audience.
ReplyDeleteOk - So if I'm a brit i might be able to get away with it a bit easier.
ReplyDeleteHomosexual Hangar-On's?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it doesn't seem right or fair, but the group that is getting insulted--or thinks it is getting insulted--gets to make the rules and in this politically correct world, that's just the way it is. Last month an Asian gal at the poker table was saying that her mom refers to herself as "Oriental" and does not object to others calling her that....but it's all in the context. You can usually tell when they are hateful or hurtful or when they are just using a word they are comfortable with. I'm wondering what the political correct term for "fag-hag" is that would convey the same mental image?
ReplyDeleteHiya Seb! I'm still mad at you for beating me at football. :P
ReplyDeleteFBoy!!! You're still alive! I was wondering what happened to you.
ReplyDeletesup josie xD
ReplyDeleteI believe that is the case Grouchie.. although I totally get where your coming from. I have often times called a friend a fag for doing something stupid.. Have you seen the commercials? Fag is a hateful word! Anyway, being old, I get where your coming from, but it probably is wrong.. not that us old people are going to change.. we will just have to die out..
ReplyDeleteVery good question, young Grrouchie. I have encountered this same situation in the past. I once used fag or faggot much akin to how i use bitch or biatch. "Hey fag, blah blah blah". or "Take it faggot" <-- i used to say that to friends as they'd scoop a pot. I am sooo not homophobic and didn't think much of it until someone told me it was insulting to gay people. "No, it isn't", I thought because it was just me effing around and there was no maliciousness behind it. But then I realized that I was using the term fag as an insult. To be clear....it could seem that I was suggesting being gay was an insult...not my intention, but when you say "Hey fag" to someone it could certainly seem that way.
ReplyDeleteGet it, faggot? <--- just for old time's sake. I do not use the word anymore.
also, I'll be working and thus not having access to this site to respond to anything - but I will do that whenever it is that I finally get home.
