Stop calling people faggots
[QUOTE=Zeke129;32086895]Stop calling people faggots[/QUOTE]We're not about to stop calling people faggots because some people get butthurt (lol see what I did there?)
Seriously though, this is the internet, people call people faggots all the time. Deal with it.

If someone called someone else a nigger they'd get banned
why is this different
not sure why maverick is continually immune to facepunch's rules

People getting butthurt over words are taking themselves too seriously.

Yeah they're both definitely very meaningless words with no connotations attached to them at all lol

They're mostly used with the intention of removing all connotations attached. No-one uses a word, it remains sacred and insulting. Everyone uses a word casually, people start to not give a fuck. Some people are still sensitive but it's just like you wouldn't casually say fuck in front of your grandparents.

No they're used with the intention of insulting someone to the degree that the word used to insult the person they were intended to target

What they were made for is irrelevant, calling someone a faggot is insulting in itself, not because it has connotations to homosexuality. To turn it into a casual insult with no connotations rather than something used specifically in relation to homosexuals is the aim.

Given Maverick's attitude I wouldn't be surprised if he alludes people he doesn't like to gays because he doesn't like gays
But either way, people get banned for using the word so I don't see why he should be immune to the rules, he seems to get away with flaming that gets others banned on a daily basis

Faggot != gay
Only in in slang sense does it get used to define a person as a homosexual male. That use being nowhere near the meaning of the original form that is "a bundle of anything, usually twigs or iron bars".
the word nigger on the other hand was created from negro meaning black, which was used primarily to describe the slaves coming from africa. The current version came from that and was almost only used in the sense of an insult.
The reason I say this is that the word nigger is something I would see bannable because its meaning is only used in such sense. Any word can be used to insult another person. If I called you a fucking tree, then that could be insulting. What you say is that because of such we should ban the word tree. Just because a slang use can mean insult, does not mean the word should be censored. Context is everything. Could the other people here use a better approach to show disapproval of a person? Yes, But I would not go so far as to outright throw out the use of their words because of it. But that would be up to a moderator to decide.
And by no means do I use any words here to try and insult. I am very much happy with my lack of bans here and would like to continue it that way.

This is why I love comedians. They pretty much sum up every social problem, explain why it is a problem, and make you laugh while doing so.
can you call people kikes here?
i ask because im jewish and its not a word you hear very often
no, kike is pretty universally offensive

Apparently
well your name isn't maverick so probably not
I don't really like the double standard that you absolutely can't make generalisation about race here or you will be banned, but you can make horrible homophobic comments or say all serial killers are faggots for example and you'll be showered in agrees.

Like if I went to a news thread and said 'murderers are such niggers' it would be completely different to if I said 'murderers are such fags'
Because faggot isn't so closely associated with homosexuals. Faggot is a random word, a bunch of sticks, it's only really an insult to gays because people use it as such, this is a reversal of that.
Nigger is based off French and Spanish words for black, kike is based off a circle that illiterate Jewish immigrants signed kinda like an X, they are far more closely tied to racial issues than faggot. It's possible to make them a pointless word like calling someone a cracker but they are still racially charged.
There was a South Park episode about this kids.

I call people nigger all the time too.
Hell, I called Pascall a nigger in the Fix Up Look Sharp thread.
It's not about the word, it's about how it is used. If I said "I hate faggots," then it'd be something worthy of banning for since it is laden with homophobia. Same with "I hate niggers." However, I'm just using them as simple placeholders for insults. If you get homophobia or whatever out of me saying that, you need to stop being a faggot and lighten up.
They're just words, chill the fuck out.
Nobody seems to have any issues with calling Scoutking a [i]retard[/i] or [i]autistic[/i].
or maybe calm down over a couple of words
ITT homosexuals derail a thread because they don't like faggot being used not to describe them but instead to describe someone who is an idiot

By getting wound up about it you're basically calling yourself a faggot - as you're associating the word with yourself.

I don't even think Zeke is a homo.
He's an example of one of those people who gets more offended than the people who should get offended. I mean, at the most a homosexual person would see me saying faggot and think "That guy is dumb," not even caring enough to post about it. Same thing with black people.
But there's always someone who doesn't even fit the group who's supposedly being insulted who goes and gets all butthurt about it. It's funny because Zeke always likes to attack me with shit like "You're not depressed so you could never know blah blah blah," whenever stuff like that comes up, but apparently he can talk for all the homosexuals and black people in the world.
Unless he's a homosexual black person. In that case, he just needs to stop being a little bitch. Boo hoo some guy on the internet is saying things my mommy said were bad I'm so offended and everyone else should be too.
AKA: Professional white knight.
hey maverick shut the f
he already said that he's into dudes and girls
and that he wants a dominant woman
and he spends his time fighting the use of the word faggot on the internet
maybe this all explains his depression
if zeke's the white knight can i be the black knight?
