since there are now two of you here: do you really not see anything wrong with calling someone a 'fag' ?
apparently not.... others, like myself, do see something wrong. I would choose free speech over limited speech - but since the forum rules we agreed to said something about "hateful speech" and attacking other members i believe ALL hateful speech should qualify. homophobic remarks included.

:twisted:

yeah, it seems to too often fly under the radar. i'm just curious if most use it as a figure of speech, or whether one would happily admit 'yeah, i hate those damned << insert slur here >>'

i mean, it's not as if it's a stretch. it's the equivalent of the n-bomb -- it's all hate speech

i guess i am looking for consistency. I'm from the "sticks and stones" school so I think hate speech code and laws suck ass so I don't think any speech should be banned including n-bombs. I believe banning words gives them far too much power. But since words are banned, I would like them to be at least equal and consistent. But we all know they aren't. I mean blond jokes are still acceptable, right? and calling someone a "fag" or "homo" is often overlooked or laughed off.

Right. It's just pretty obvious that calling someone a 'faggot' is much more socially acceptable, either because it's a closet bias that is more prevalent, or because people think they can use it without purveying that they are, in fact, a bigot.

you know, 'fag' has been around for so long that it's hard to shake. i was around a group of friends the other day and a bud said 'fag' and i asked him if he'd meant to say that - or something to that effect - and it was just an accident. that said, he did come through the frat system, so i'd say he's one of a handful of diamonds in that rough

yeah the mentality that goes into those posts is frankly disturbing.

what i got out of that is " dude is a pussy for threatening me/calling me names on the internet! dude, you're a pussy and respect me or I'll fuck you up!"

what?
