The word 'bad' originates from an Old English word referring to effeminate men. 'That's really bad' is literally the 10th century equivalent of 'That's so gay'.
Context is very important when it comes to whether or not one might find a word offensive- whilst simply calling any old feminist a feminazi is ridiculous and pretty sexist (and I wouldn't use the word myself), it's pretty clearly not meant to refer to the majority of feminists by the average person who does say it.

In the very same boat words like "idiot" used to literally refer to a 'retarded' person. Using the term 'idiot' should be just as offensive as retard is now if people genuinely care about the origins of a word.
But they don't and they just use those little quirks of language to try and control other people.

I'm less concerned about a word's etymology, and more concerned by it's context. The idea that 'idiot' and 'retarded' should have the same significance because of their etymologies is nice, but leaves out perhaps the most important thing in communication: context. The terms "black","colored","negro", and "n****r" all have similar etymology and meaning, but context has made some of these less than acceptable. Likewise, "retarded" is commonly used as an insult to disparage those with mental disabilities (or more often, those that don't, which is it's own sort of harmful), so if you're
using it to insult people you deserve the criticism you're going to recieve. And if Limbaugh is still using the word Feminazi to push his political views (he is) then it's still very much attached to its original context, and if you use the word you'll have to live with that.
Language changes, but until it does you have to live with the consequences of what you're saying right now.
And speaking of context, have you ever read the original use of the word by Limbaugh in context? It's eye-opening stuff.
[Quote=Rush Limbaugh]I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett, a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a modern-day holocaust: abortion. There are 1.5 million abortions a year, and some feminists almost seem to celebrate that figure. There are not many of them, but they deserve to be called feminazis.
A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed. Their unspoken reasoning is quite simple. Abortion is the single greatest avenue for militant women to exercise their quest for power and advance their belief that men aren't necessary. They don't need men in order to be happy. They certainly don't want males to be able to exercise any control over them. Abortion is the ultimate symbol of women's emancipation from the power and influence of men.[/quote]
And heck, here are a couple more uses by the man himself:
[Quote="Rush Limbaugh"]So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch. [During the same show, he described Fluke as "a woman who is happily presenting herself as an immoral, baseless, no-purpose-to-her life woman. She wants all the sex in the world whenever she wants it, all the time, no consequences. No responsibility for her behavior."][/quote]
[quote=Rush Limbaugh]The study's leaders claim to have bona fide research — I say "bonified" probably here — bonified research that says the average size of a penis is roughly 10% smaller than it was 50 years ago, and the researchers say air pollution is why. Air pollution, global warming has been shown to negatively impact penis size, Italian researchers. I don't buy this, I think it's feminism. If it's tied to the last 50 years — the average size of a member is 10 percent smaller than 50 years — it has to be the feminazis, the chickification and everything else. Give 'em time and they'll blame Bush. Give 'em time. But air pollution vs. feminazis? Ha! [/quote]
That aside, the biggest point that I have the words we use have an effect on everyone. If you call someone a "f****t" disparagingly, you aren't just being a huge asshole and homophobe, but you're creating an environment where the homophobe who overhears you thinks that he's in good company. Even if you hate feminism, using the term feminazi just makes the world a more toxic place.
Every time you use the word "feminazi", you're effectively giving credence to Rush and those with similar views, whether you intend to or not. Every time you unironically use it, you're hearkening back to a Rush Limbaugh rant about how the end goal of feminism is a baby holocaust.
And if in the end you want to say that words have no significance, and that using whatever words you want doesn't reflect on you as a person and has no impact on the kind of environment you're creating with their use, then I guess you can just jew off and stop being so black about it. /s

I disliked it because the joke is "Nintendo markets it's games as super family friendly so let's throw in blood and guts and boobs and violence! How radically different from the original conception of these characters!" This might have been funny if I hadn't seen the exact same thing on newgrounds like a decade ago.
Honestly I stopped watching this video halfway through, not because I was offended or outraged, just because I was bored. Like with Racist Mario, I'd seen all of these jokes before, and the presentation was so unappealing (the voice acting, the edgy gross-out bodily fluids) that I just couldn't be assed

Imagine accusing someone of being snobby even as you laugh at them and play internet psychologist for them. You could have boiled this down to "U MAD KEK" and it would have carried the same amount of intellectual weight.

I don't actually care about where feminazi comes from because I don't approve of it's use. I am however showing you how similar those concepts are. Idiot is used to disparage someones mental capability. Retard is to do so further, they once meant the same thing and time has made us forget those connections. If you can't approve of one form of languages offensiveness, how can you do so in another context? Insults are insults and you either realize everyone is sacred or nothing is sacred.
What the fuck is wrong with you people
As better as things have gotten after the banning of certain users, we really can't have these threads, they always get derailed by people that absolutely have to point out that feminists don't actually act like this or that the exaggerating words like feminazi were created by Hitler or something.
Also I hate to do this, but you people never derail threads that make fedora neck beard jokes about how nerds or atheists don't actually all act like that or that the term neck beards was created by Stalin.

I've said this once before in WAYT but I'll say it again, at one point Flashgitz was actually producing some pretty funny content that wasn't a touch as bad as Racist Mario. They did almost entirely content based on W40K and they were quite popular in the 40k thread in GGD.

I genuinely wonder if Flashgitz was doing something between a homage and a parody of a typical newsgrounds cartoon, or whether it really was just an attempt to cash in on the popularity a video like Racist Mario can generate.
Those are some fucking amazing animations

You claim that "faggot" is a homophobic slur that we must not use otherwise we ally ourselves with homophobes. But in the next paragraph, you claim that when we use a word such as "feminazi" we are not using the modern term, we are actually using the word in the exact same context of its origin in addition to giving credence to that view.
Please, do your research on the origins of the term "faggot" and "fag" (there's a difference in their origin as homophobic insults). Your argument is very contradictory.
