Faggot = Passive Aggressive Gay Bashing
 

FAGGOT IS REALLY NOT A NICE WORD
ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF READ THIS!!!!

http://www.angelfire.com/biz3/mostlyharmless/hate.html

here are some excerpts for those of you that dont wanna click

I am quoting as I would never say these things myself

"Can you imagine someone using a racial slur similarly? Computer won't work: "You damned ******. Why won't this darkie boot up?" They would be nailed to the wall."

"But no one thinks twice about bashing homosexuals."



"It goes to show how socially accepted and ingrained homophobia is in our society. Many of my friends, kind people who would never actively persecute someone, never think twice about using slang and slur for homosexuality to express their displeasure. "





"I can only imagine how insanely irritating it must be for a gay person to go through life hearing this constant barrage of homophobia. Worrying about getting fired from a job or beat by rednecks or condemed to hellfire by religious fundamentalists is enough to make one paranoid, but the constant unthinking use of deragatory words by one's own friends must be maddening."

IT IS BY THE WAY VERY MADDENING


"And no more of this bollocks about it being unnatural. Domesticated animals and plants aren't natural. Doesn't stop you from eating, does it?
Just because something is uncommon does not make it unnatural.

I'm not asking the whole world to accept or endorse homosexuality, because I know damn well it'll never happen."

"All I'm asking, begging, of you silly prejudiced people is BE TOLERANT, maybe even POLITE. You don't have to be friends with the scary gays and lesbians But you sure as hell shouldn't treat them like scum or criminals."



As Chris Rock says, Everybody has at least a gay cousin. It just doesn't make sense to insult those around you on a daily basis. You might just need their help one day.


Thanks for your time

:)

oh and i am not some gay rights activist just a gay guy that DOES NOT like the word FAGGOT or FAG used in a deragatory manner

oh and yeah I know also

Opinions are like assholes every one has one and sometimes they stink this is just my 2 cents on the word faggot

Most people don't even think of gay when using that word now. It means a pussy.

let me be the first to say: SHUT UP YOU STUPID FAGGOT :boid

unless you are gay then it means faggot even if you think you are calling someone a pussy and a gay guy hears it (sees it) :winkwink:

what i really wanna know is what you guys think it means when you say thats gay


think it means oh thats HAPPY ?

FUCK NO

when i see it it means THATS FUCKED UP .......


which means GAY = FUCKED UP ... And I really dont think that being gay is a choice



And if faggot means pussy then why dont you just call em a pussy?(which by the way if you think about it is derogatory to women)

Chris rock also says, "There are black people and there are ******s, and I hates ******s"

Not necessarily the best choice for illustrating up your argument.

I never use the word faggot when referring to someone who is gay. The only time I use the word is when I am angry with a straight male and I don't use it to call him gay, I use it to mean he's acting ignorant. I don't really think of the word faggot as a gay term anymore, either. Just like the word gay has gone from meaning "happy" to meaning "homosexual" to noe often meaning "annoying" or "stupid".

For example, if someone puts up a HUGE-ASS sign in their yard that says "VOTE FOR BLAH McBLAH FOR US SENATE!" you might say, "Oh my god, that is SO gay!" But that isn't something one would typically expect only a gay person to do, so when you say it you aren't meaning anything even remotely related to homosexuality.

I DO think use of the word faggot directed at a gay person is wrong. I would never do it, just like I don't use words like queers, ******s, slants, slopes, gooks, camel jockeys, (or anything else Archie Bunker might say) when referring to human beings. People are people, and that's all there is to it as far as I'm concerned. :)

Besides, it's all in how you say it. I know someone who doesn't like Hispanic people, and when she says the word Mexican she hisses and sort of growls the word. To me, that's worse than playfully calling a hispanic person that you know well a wetback. Sometimes it's all in how you say it, and what you mean when you say it, not in the word itself.

STFU FAG :321GFY

On a side note I don't think I have ever started a thread bitching because of the use of the word redneck. (See your rant above for the derogatory use of this word)

you fags should just be thankful we let you stay alive to practice your pervisions.

:2 cents:

haha cry me a fucking river, if the word faggot offends you and you're gay, maybe you should be proud of what you are and not let words offend you. :321GFY

Let me be the first faggot to post in this thread :Graucho

Now TOOTIE I hope that you know that I think you are kewl as shit and I am just explaining my train of thought VS. yours I am in NO WAY picking on you or puttin you down just trying to make you see it from another point of view that might make ya think......

gays are ignorant?

isnt it just as bad if a gay person overhears it or sees it?

I understand this too...My little bro calls me a fag all the time but he means it in an endearing way (and yes he has called me a faggot out of SPITE.....OUCH)

I know this too but sometimes its all in who hears it or sees it and weather or not they think its offensive.....

kinda like when i hear someone now a days say thats so gay or call someone a fag I know in MY mind that it is meant in a "WOW THATS DIFFERENT" kinda way...

but come on the word FAGGOT IS DEGRADING to a gay guy just as the word hahahaha is to a woman ;-)

And yes I have used the word hahahaha before but I wouldnt call you it to your face unless I expected to get slapped

the word FAGGOT IS DEGRADING to a gay guy no matter how its said or what is implied weather it is seen or heard







:2 cents: :2 cents:

:1orglaugh

Ebony Transvestites make me hot.

youre out at a bar drinkin with your buddies and someone comes up to you and calls you a faggot

You arent even gay


ARE YOU OFFENDED?

guess whats under the moomoo

LOL seriously? No...Why?

Because I'm no longer in Jr. High.

FAGS SUCK :warning

So would you rather be called:
Poofter
Rump Ranger
Poo Packer
I'm sure there is more but its just a term.Like lesbians are called Dykes.Or ethnic people are called whatever...same thing..

why is that when a straight guy fucks a chick in the ass its called ANAL SEX

but a gay guy does it and hes a fudge packer?

Basically what it boils down to is what was originally said

It goes to show how socially accepted and ingrained homophobia is in our society......

TAUGHT BEHAVIOR = LEARNED BEHAVIOR

what the fuck exactly is the perversion?

that would be exactly like me saying you fucking porno webmasters are lucky that we let you stay alive to sell your perversions ......

you dont think a chick shitting on someone is perverted?

I do see your point. The rare times when I do use those words, I use them in my own home and not around my children. I wouldn't use them in public where a gay person might hear it and be offended.

Just remember, the word faggot also means cigarette in some places and also it can mean a bunch of twigs or sticks tied together in a bundle or pieces of iron or steel to be welded into bars. Just like pussy can mean a female cat, bitch can mean a female dog and I've been called both. Hehe. :)

Believe me, I understand that the word can be used in a bad way and I know that it is terribly offensive and I would never use it that way. Ever. I rarely even use it at all. Maybe twice a year and only when I'm REALLY pissed, I guess. Also, I only use it with people I know and care about but am angry with. I wouldn't use it against a stranger because they might actually think I'm using it to mean homosexual. Everyone I know understands how I use it. And I'm just as likely to call a guy I'm pissed at an asshole, prick or dickhead as I am the f-word. :winkwink:

Why are you ignoring the fact that the little rant you posted above uses the term redneck in a derrogatory manner? Are you saying it's ok to assume all people from the south are inbred, trailer park living, poor assholes?

and you know what TOOTIE, I knew that YOU would when i was responding to your post just from our conversation the other night and your presence that i have viewed on this board


At least someone has thier fucking head screwed on :thumbsup

translation: kick my ass

Any fag, bitch, ******, cracker, wetback, pussy, gook, spic, raghead or japper that wants to tell me which words I can and can't use will get his face bashed in :2 cents:

Nope....... my boyfriend is from Kentucky and my mom lives in a trailer park......... and I am not exactly rich.....And I didnt write the article ....

I think of a redneck as someone who works hard and probably earns thier living on a farm.

Where as YOU think that I think a rednecks are from the south are inbred, trailer park living, poor assholes?

as you stated above


I think what sums it up is

Not everyone has the same train of thought or thought processes and ALL people INCLUDING MYSELF should be a bit more thoughtful about what comes out of thier mouth...Because it doesnt matter what you think a word means when it comes out of your mouth unless the person knows you, they will interpret it in thier train of thought NOT yours ;-):2 cents:


So if you in no way shape or form give a shit what others think of you then say what you want

HIEL HITLER:321GFY

Two words, and the little retard pussy manages to get half wrong. And yes, I'm using both pussy and retard in a derogatory manner. Tough shit.

Fags are gay!

1) I know you didn't write the article.

2) I assume that's what you thought based on the article you posted above.

3) Just wanted to point out the double standard.

4) I don't give two shits what someone calls me... and neither should you.

Fuck em'

Going to drink now.

:glugglug

and which half was that ?

I don't think most men, gay or otherwise, would "kick my ass" even if I DID call them something derogatory. I think most men have better manners than to hit women. At least I HOPE so.

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...&q=hiel+hitler Google knows.

Also, how exactly does a list including "crackers" indicate fascism or racism?

I DONT really give a shit what other say.... but do care what others think most of the time :winkwink:

I think maybe it would be better if you said most STRAIGHT people think of it that way. I know most gay men don't.

Well said :thumbsup

Now here is what I consider an even more important question:
While I'm getting used to all the 'slang' for gay men that is used on GFY, do posts like this acurately reflect hate, or just an attempt to get a rise out of someone (no pun intended)?

P.S. This is a bad example (consider the source! Doh!) But I'm talking about the general posts about gaymen using the word "faggot".

I want freedom of speech. But don't let people say mean things! That's bad.

Gay?

That's NOT the issue here. It's really a simple question: Do you consider the use of the word "faggot" inflammatory/hateful?

`

Nope. Not at all. Neither is ******, dyke, wop, gimp, retard, spic, chink... need I go on?

Words are words. Nothing more, nothing less. They have a general meaning, but how the word is used in context makes or breaks the meaning of the statement.

Furthermore, why people actually give a fuck what others say or think about them is still completely beyond me. There are over 6 billion people in the world, around 300 million in the United States alone.

EVERYONE IS NOT GOING TO LIKE YOU. Not everyone is going to treat you with respect. That's life. Deal with it or go live in a bubble. Or better yet, buy an island in the South Pacific and move all your buddies there. Nobody to hurt your feelings!

if i were gay, i'd be outraged at the great britain smoking community.
