ITT we discuss the morality of insults

[DDDsDD999]

ITT: Dicks dick dicks, which dick the dicks back, then the dicks get dicked by dick's dick dicks then the dicks dick on the dick forums and promptly get dicked by dicks.

This. And whats all about being so popular nowadays calling each other faggot? Mods should really take some actions there to teach people how to talk.

I said faggot I think its insensitive of you to imply I was calling someone a faggot, and those insults hurt my feelings.

Anyway, 10/10 post, would post again.

In this forum i've seen many insults, vexations, taunt and so on almost everyday in every topic.
No mod did anything, so this forum have no mods.

What mods do here is just maintenance of sections and some ban.

I'm admin in almost all the forums i used to be. What i see here is not something i knwo as Moderation. Here respect of people is of any importance.
Just to let u know this before you'll have to discover it by yourself.

Who say here that you're right, is the one that will not insult u. The others will, and they can 'cuz...They literally can do it freely.
H&H is a sort of Internet Paradise for who is kicked from others forums. XD
Or maibe,more like an internet slum.

Flame i've been Mod at other forums aswell - those had clear rules - this forum is somewhat very free when it comes to rules - and to shove it just to Mods is a bit easy in a
community. I gave up my attempts to have less foul speak - it's not my kindergarden anymore as long it's not HDI or WT ...

I don't see the big problem. The important part is always the intention not the term itself. If a person uses the term "faggot" specifically to give a gay person the feeling that he is an inferior being then he should be kicked in the butt and banned. It's not too difficult to figure that out, even when the person is trying to b playful with it. I don't think I've seen anyone use this term in that sense here though. People like to provoke here, they like rough language, it's all part of the bragging game. But I think I have yet to see a thread where someone attacked a person specifically because of his homosexuality or whatever. And I'm sure if it were to happen a lot of the foulmouthed people would actually come to help the gay person.

i like all the cute justifications in this thread and the people actually taking them seriously

"oh, language changes, that word wasnt or isnt offensive. you ever watch South Park??"

lol

It still implies that. Language does not change that fast. It is a cheap excuse to claim that.

The cultural implications of homosexuals being somewhat of a lesser form of human beings is still very much in almost everyones heads. Communication reproduces itself and creates follow up communication. Using the word fag as an insult is part of that.

Edit: Also, the claim that language changes should never be used as a generalized excuse. Changes in languagae should always be supervised by a morel debate on the roots, implications, consequences of something. Going around trying to establish "Heil Hitler" as a casual greeting would never be acceptable and I don't think anyone would argue with that. Same as calling people "Dirty Jews" as an insult. But for homosexuals it is totally ok? No, there are other reasons for this which have their roots in the ever so present discrimination of homsexuals in todays society.

Instead of trying to make "fag" a socially acceptable term one could just as easy not use it as an insult anymore. Why is that so much harder to do than doing the morally questionable thing and then having a big argument about it?

I actually greet some of my friends with "Heil" and sometimes call people jews for too high prices or when something breaks we say "probably jews did this".
But its not like we really mean it, its just for laughs.

There has been a increase in the word relevant to 'nigger' and its pronunciations in game.
Particularly used by non-english speakers, by whom people assume are Russians.

Kinda odd because the Russian world of tanks members insult you by calling English speakers Yankees, as using nigger results in the GM in game chats to mute or even ban.

The funny thing is, using that in game only makes the person look stupid. Its only threatening if a guy comes up to you swearing and posing body language on you in real life.

I'm using this thread publicly to call Toska out for being a homo.
You are such a homo, Toska.
