has anyone noticed this movement to get me to stop calling things gay because it's "insulting" to certain groups of people?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkLST3BBaQ8

how can a group of people take the word "gay"--which originally meant "happy", change the meaning to "homosexual"-- and then turn around and attack me for trying to use the word to be a pseudonym for "stupid"-- this is completely beyond me.

I'm all for tolerance and everything--but that is really gay. We don't need language police telling us what words do mean or don't mean--words mean whatever society makes them out to mean--I have gay friends who call things gay--I just... this just makes me upset.

There's advertisements on TV telling me to stop using the word "gay"--but nobody ever speaks out on the TV agianst calling women "bitches" or "hoes"... -_-

The only people who get offended by it are closeted homosexuals who are ashamed of themselves and opt not to be queer. Any time someone says "gay" or "faggot" they get extremely worried about it as if someone is talking to THEM even though they could be on television. It's funny because openly gay people don't seem to be offended by it, that is, real gay people not the "bisexual" or wannabe-faggot attention whores that do it for their own sick fad-obsessions and lack of character.

Similarly, radical feminists have "reclaimed" the word "cunt" over the last few decades. You ought to make another thread for the word cunt, OP, because more mystique surrounds that word than any other "epithet" in the English language. I'm quite confident that if someone said that word on the job they would be fired immediately or even sued by some cunt ass kitten with an attitude problem.

Why are people so offended by mere words? Society has been over-feminized, that is why.

Nah it has something to do with violence being acceptable in society due to pre-existing views of people's worth in a society based on their personal choices and lifestyles. Or somethin like that anyway, wha?

His last post

QFT (Divinity's post). People and society are so godamn pussy these days it makes me want to vomit.

It has honestly made me come to the decision that if I am to get married, it will be to possibly a Bolivian or Columbian and not some spoiled Canadian or American bitch who thinks she is queen-shit and entitled to some kind of worship for just having a cunt.

Political Correctness has gotten way out of hand. I think it is necessary in some situations (like a court of law where there must be no bias) but Christ man, what we have here is totally ridiculous.

Women eat this shit for breakfast and it disgusts me how stupid so many of them are. If I married one and had to pretend to agree with all this bullshit I would probably murder/suicide.


I hate this society of victims. It's always "who are we going to feel sorry for next". The victimizers are always men too. This passive feminized society we live in is going to kick us in our own asses. I don't know exactly how but this kind of thinking they try to promote is not healthy for a people.

I am not saying feminine is evil, I am saying that it is one side of the coin and that we need to acknowledge and embrace the inherent masculinity in all people aswell. If we dont were all going to shrivel into human vaginas. We need a balance of feminine and masculine in society.

Perhaps, this over-feminization is a result of the very masculinized cultures that we had in our past. Maybe there was a huge build up of repressed feminity that is now being released. Maybe after it is done being released, things will balance. I don't know if what I just said made any sense...


Another thing that pisses me off is a woman's inability to see her own weaknesses. (I have met a few that do admit women have certain weaknesses, but most I meet refuse to admit that). It annoys the fuck out of me to have to play some kind of make-believe game with women, pretending they are "equal" and having to gloss over all their screw ups etc.

The fact is there are things women are better then men at and vice versa. Here is what I believe to be some main ones. And I would like to add that I know there are exceptions to the rules.

Women are better then men in:

Asthetics

Most women excel in the areas of designing a room to flow and breath, intelligently adding color to give spaces character.
Women easily outperform men in the areas of personal beauty and using stuff like makeup to beautify others and actually take someone who looks not-so good and make them look good.

Empathy and Nurturing

Women are much superior to most men in the caring about other's feelings and making them feel better about it dept. This skill is a benefit to all mankind. I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about someone whining and complaining, but women will hear this person and actually try to make them feel better. Women make life alot sweeter in this way.



Men are better then women in the areas of getting things done. They make firm decisions and are much less likely to be swayed by others. This is why they are usually better in positions of power.

Men are better then women in technical problem solving. Generally men are better at visualizing problems and solving them. The emotional is much less prioritized in a man's brain so this allows him to use it for more technical and materialistic purposes.

There is much more to add for both sides, but I don't want to flood this thread with my lists so I will leave it there.

Edit: I actually may consider to stop using the term "gay" as to denote something dumb, if Hilary Duff lets me ram her in her ass or poon, 3-5 times a week.

I'm a homosexual who uses the word gay in a lightly derogatory manner, usually to other people whom I know are also gay. Being gay seems to negate all of the aggression that would have been chucked at you if you said that word while being straight, probably because a homosexual who blurts out the word gay is as ironic as a black person calling his fellow blacks niggers.

When you call something "gay", you are using it in conjuction with the meaning of homosexuality. It having meant "happy" in the past has nothing to do with its current meaning.

Well shit, I guess it's the same reason why we don't really call african americans "niggers"
The whole fact that you're using a term in a derogatory context makes it an insult to anything that applies to that term. If you use a word to degrade someone, you're pretty much degrading that word and the meaning behind it. Plus, it's a really, really stupid insult. People tend to use it when they feel cornered and can't think of a real rebuttal.

And I definitely see a lot of people against using "bitches" and "hoes" to describe women. They don't really show it much in the media, I do admit. That's because they perpetuate it.

Uh, no, not really. When I use the word Gay, unless I am using it to mean homosexual, I am using the word to mean something stupid, or irrational. The OP has said much the same thing, and so have several people in the thread. The majority of people understand that Gay really is context dependant on what you mean.

Just as Gay having popularly meant homosexuality, has nothing to do with it's current popular meaning; in this case ,'Stupid'. Words change.

No, no it doesn't. When I use the word Gay to mean the word stupid, then I am doing just that, and the word stupid has no connection to homosexuality. Thinking like that reveals more about the person who feels it than the person who uses the word.

For example, I use the word bastard on people who are legitimate children. In these cases the word bastard does not mean an illegitimate child, but a person who I dislike, or in some cases a person who I admire. Words are not an equation, Gay is not Gay=Homosexual=stupid, the meanings are seperate from each other. By using the word bastard I am not saying that all illegitimate children and unpleasant.

Another example, I use the word Jammy to describe someone who is lucky, or skilled etc, I don't use the word to mean that that person has a jam centre, or is in anyway related to Jam.

I guess I'm just trying to say that words have differant meanings, meanings often based on context and shared social ...uh... stuff.

While I'd agree that "gay" could theoretically have picked up a new meaning that has no connection with homosexuality, it's still inappropriate. If you went around calling everything you didn't like "Mexican", then eventually you'd piss someone off.

I sometimes use "gay" to mean "stupid", but I don't have any delusions about it's level of inappropriateness.

I understand what you mean, and I'm guilty of calling things gay myself. I find it difficult to break the habit. I just think that society as a whole makes the connection to homosexuality as we still use the term to define homosexual people. If I decided I was going to start calling things retarded all the time, despite that I don't really mean that something is mentally handicapped, people are still ocassionally going to be offended because of where the nature of that word stands in our society.
Maybe it is sad that someone would make that connection, but they do because we still are in a society where plenty of intolerant people deliberately use it to insult people in the context of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder it isn't like race, something that someone has no hand in choosing/becoming. While homosexuals are victims of their own upbringings (the majority of the time) they are still open for derogatory critique as they are a moral threat to the nation, and can change their ways. Homosexuals are vain, narcissistic, they are not healthy and they are bad for society and one of the reasons why man today is so feminized, superficial, and weak. So there is nothing wrong with using that word in any kind of context and as one member made note of, the only people that care about it are closet homosexuals who are ashamed of what they are.

I accidentially said something was gay in front of my gay friend and they didn't take offense to it. I'm sure they hear it all the time and don't think twice about it. I felt bad at first and thought I might have offended them, but again, they said since it wasn't directed at them or their sexuality, that it was fine.

Paragraphs, for future reference; On to the issues:

Right of the bat, you label homosexuality as a disorder, something which no major or important Medical organization does. A gay could just as easily say that heterosexuality is a disorder, although you'd both be wrong. Just because heterosexuals are the majority doesn't mean we're right to call them insane.

You then state that homosexuals are a factor in the detriment of morality of society. Your entire argument is flawed, since morality is both subjective and relative.

After this, you proceed to go on a self-delusional rant stereotyping gays. I don't even have to argue that one.

And finally, to top off your horse shit crock of an argument; a turd-cherry on top. You state that the only people offended by the term gay as derogatory are gays or closet gays. Dead wrong, mademoiselle. If I hear a decent black person get called a nigger, I'll get offended, and if I hear a disabled person called a retard, I'll get offended as well, yet I am neither of the above two.

So what are you trying to say with this steaming shitload of an argument? That because you feel it's right to be derogatory, the ones receiving the insult have no right to be offended? Fuck you.

You're right.

At first when I watched that video, I dismissed it as liberal-bullshit. But now I am starting to see it in a new light.

Think back in time, people used to use the words "nigger" and "jew" as negative adjectives very frequently. For example "that idiot better not Jew me" or "that outfit looks very niggerish". I still know people who say stuff like this, and it makes me cringe. It seems low-class or barbaric to speak in such a manner.

I am starting to think that calling stuff "gay" might be similar.

OP I am glad you brought this up

I think a new meaning should be added to mean the opposite of the original word

gay used to mean happy,
got mixed up with homosexuality
people attribute Bad to homosexuality

gay= bad

over the years people have just used to it to mean that shit sucks (shits gay) And they aren't using it in a derogatory sense towards homosexuals...

Kinda reminds me of how its cool for black folks call eachother niggas lol

I wouldn't either, and I hope DivinityofRacism wouldn't as well, as no one has a hand in choosing whether or not they are born black or retarded. Also, it's funny you mention "decent", exposing what a racist closet queer you are. 70% of Black Americans cut down your right to marry in California and consequently most states in the country this year, I can understand your hatred towards them.

I've numbered your bullshit so I can respond to it more efficiently.

1. You say that medical organizations have changed their opinions because of political correctness. Not quite. Scientific opinion changes over time, and as more research and evaluation comes to light, that opinion goes with the strongest evidence of it's time. That opinion is, of course, that homosexuality is just another sexual orientation.

2. You cherry-picking motherfucker. If you would have quoted the rest of that statement, you'd get your rebuttal.

3. Here comes the shit. You first point to people having no hand in being black or retarded. So, I can infer that, in your feeble mind, that sexual orientation is a choice right? I've discussed this in another thread, Autism & Homosexuality. Go read there, but please reply here.

You then hint at me for being a racist for saying "decent" black person. I said that because I didn't want to get called out on the trashy, ghetto kind of black people, so I said decent so some thick fuck wouldn't poke in jest.

And then, you hint at me hating blacks for their political positions, and then insinuate at me being gay. Fuck you. What, because I don't like people being treated like shit for no reason I'm gay? Fuck you. Blacks have their right to their opinion, and however much it may conflict with mine, it is not right for me to hate them for it.

But back to the issue of the OP. Saying something's gay is like saying that someone's being a nigger. I understand that the term gay is not as weighted as the term nigger, but it's still serving to the same effect.

I never said homosexuality wasn't a sexual orientation, neither did anyone else. Pedophilia and zoophilia are sexual orientations, however they are both severely disgusting mental disorders. No evidence has come out that homosexuality is anything but a mental disorder, it is a disorder and it is unhealthy.

Homosexuals have a hand in choosing whether or not they are gay. Homosexuality is the result of a traumatized childhood or bad parenting, just like narcissism or pedophilia. People can however seek treatment for these disorders and denounce/work against these pandemics from ever occurring again, so people choose to be gay when they promote the homosexual deathstyle and attempt to fight for their right to be filthy.


You then hint at me for being a racist for saying "decent" black person. I said that because I didn't want to get called out on the trashy, ghetto kind of black people, so I said decent so some thick fuck wouldn't poke in jest.

Well, looks like The Return might be a closet fag.


I've had this thrown in my face before: "When you use the word gay in a derogatory manor, you tie the word gay with something negative. You connect gay lifestyle with the bad and undesirable. This happens every single time the word gay is used in a negative way/as in insult. Even if you don't literally mean gay as in homosexual you still link the negative with homosexuality." Which was promptly followed with, "How would you like it if I did the same with your (insert lifestyle/what-have-you)?"

Now, is this true? Maybe. Am I going to stop using the word gay however I choose to use it? No.

Words are just words, the more they're used, the more widespread and diverse their usage becomes, the less power the word in question has to insult/offend.

Besides, implying sexual subordinance is one of the classic ways to insult someone. Cocksucker, bitch, ho, etc. I believe using gay as an insult can, depending upon context, accomplish the same thing.

He was comparing being gay to being black. That's incredibly insulting to black people everywhere.

In my opinion, too much freedom of speech is quashed by political correctness. I'm not one to hate speech against anyone. I could care less if you're another race, religion, sexuality, or have a handicap of some kind. People who cling to word semantics to justify their causes and beliefs, are equally as bad as bigots and hate mongers. I have a word for people who try and regulate my language, fascists. I call people who do this fascist, because they believe in dictating what I should be allowed to say. Fucking fascists. There is nothing worse in a free country than fascist ideas being upheld and supported. Making them law infuriates me. Nazi Germany was enabled by the masses giving power to words.

If you ask me, if I'm not allowed to give my own meaning to the word gay, then gay should no longer be allowed to be used as a slang word for homosexuality. Anyone who disagrees, is a hypocrite. Or, we can just have open reign on words, and be mature enough to not be offended as long as it's used in appropriate context. Gay can mean happy, homosexual, stupid, annoying... When people make up stupid little equations like homosexual=gay=bad, It pisses me off, cause language isn't mathematics. Homosexual doesn't equal bad, just because they can both be included in the definition or uses of the word gay.

Another thing that pisses me off, is people who get offended by something, when it doesn't target them in any way. These people seriously need to wash the sand out of their vagina. This doesn't even logically make sense. You likely have a mental health problem if you do this.

The biggest problem with bigotry today, is that people let things bother them, when it's pointless. If someone is actually preaching hate, that's one thing; but just using a word in sentence, is only a big deal if we let it be.

You make a very good case, easeoflife, but you have to understand that by using the term gay in a derogatory fashion, you're adding a negative stigma to people who are of that orientation.

Of course, I would be completely against the government outlawing the term "gay" in a pejorative manner. As offensive as hateful speech is, we have no right forbidding the use of the term. By denying others their rights, I am eschewing my own.

If anything, it should be up to society to make the term taboo. Given time, people won't use the term in such a manner. But forceful by a government is fascist trite, and completely inappropriate.

Using the word "gay" as a perjorative promotes homophobia, and does violence with the language.

By your logic "stupid" as a pejorative promotes hatred towards the mentally retarded and those who are slower than others. By your logic, "fucked up" promotes misogyny as it suggests that women having sex with men is dehumanizing, or that rape/beating victims are dehumanized. Your logic is retarded, words do not promote anything.

They often are picked on in school and ostracized by their peers. So you think the discrimination of a group of people is justified by whether or not a couple of their kind have been dragged by trucks or beaten by "drunk rednecks" (wonderful, way to be a hypocritical asshat and use a pejorative slanderous to people from the south.)? Many mentally challenged people are tormented (severely) and their discrimination is openly tolerated, MUCH more than that of WHINY FUCKING FAGGOTS. MORE people are killed in suspicion of being mentally/socially/physically retarded.

Oh stop ArmsMerchant, I'm near tears. Those poor faggots and their rough lives. A few of them get killed and people act like it's a national crisis, trying to make us change the way we speak. Fuck that shit, they deserve what they get. Queers were the ones who spread one of the deadliest diseases known to man, the AIDS virus. It's kinda funny how when people hear that terrorists could be planning to use biological weapons, the response is "We've gotta hunt them down and stop them!" but the same people will show sympathy to fags who have been spreading a deadly disease for decades.

Even worse is the example queers set for the next generation. They try and convert children to fagdom to make sure their sick kind will be around long enough to spread disease and stop everyone from procreating. I consider faggots to be lower than any other form of terrorist. At least dudes like Bin Laden are only focused on one group of people. Homos are attempting to destroy all of mankind. Despite their frail appearance, we must realize that faggots are still a threat to humanity and if allow them to use our compassion against us, it could be a fatal mistake.

The hypothesis that polio vaccines cultured on monkey kidney cells contaminated with SIV has been rejected, (which is not the same as having been refuted). However, that zoonotic transmission of the virus occured in Africa during some point in the 20th century is not disputed. Hence my point stands; as far as we can tell it was an African black(s) who were the original carrier(s) of HIV/AIDS.

I can see how calling things "gay" is hurtful and perhaps even violent. But what do we fall back on? "Stupid"? That can be just as hurtful. I'm sure everyone reading this thread has been called "stupid" or an "idiot" when they were young. And that is hurtful too. And people DO engage in violence against mentally disabled folks. So where do we go? Of course, we could just not pass judgment on concepts and actions. We could say "I disagree with that because..." instead of "that is gay." But the feasibility of that is far-flung, to say the least. But the only other direction involves us calling things "niggarish" and "kike-like." Which is also clearly unacceptable.

They should toughen the fuck up, if people referred to something they thoughtwas stupid as "white", white people wouldn't be all up in arms about how it's "hurtful".

Saying a word doesn't directly cause violence, obviously.

Words can cause ignorance, anger, hate. Those can cause violence. Little acts of discrimination always lead somewhere.

Saying "That's gay" to refer to something being stupid, bad, lame or shitty can be compared to going around and saying "That's British" or "That's African-American."

Saying "That's white" may not be very offensive, but when you're the majority, and the most powerful group, names don't hurt. Minorities take slurs more seriously.

I've got no problem with it, but many people do. I realize you have your freedom of speech and all that, but saying things like that can get you suspended from school (If you're in school, that is), fired from your job, or slapped with a lawsuit.

Just because you can say something, doesn't mean you should.

On a more somber note, I encourage all my fellow soldiers to show support for one of our own. An innocent 14 year old boy named Brandon McInerney is actually on trial just for blasting a fag.
