149. Awesome, I'm gay.

So I can call you a faggot for making this secret.

8|

(granted, your opinion is your opinion, but I don't see anything wrong if the term "faggot" is being thrown around as a term of endearment. I know when people are kidding and when people are not kidding, you know?)

(Anonymous) 2008-06-22 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously. O_O I have very good friends who are gay, and when one of them saw that music video (lol) What What In The Butt....his was response was: "What is this faggotry? That's just completely gay!"

[identity profile] demyx.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHAAH. EXACTLY, I say stuff is gay all the time and mean it as an insult to the thing, but I don't go around calling people who are not my friends "faggots" because they don't know I'm kidding.

Context, people, context!

(Anonymous) 2008-06-22 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Among my gay friends, they've just turned the word Faggot to mean ANYTHING stupid. One day, it might just be slang for any single act of stupidity. XDDD

(Anonymous) 2008-06-22 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm gay too! And I still don't like the word and am offended by it!

Oh my god, gay people are not a uniform mass that always agrees with each other!

[identity profile] demyx.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously, or else I wouldn't have responded with an opposing opinion.

But according to the OP, I can still call anyone I want a faggot because I'm gay instead of... you know, just not using it to insult people are a general rule?

Sorry, the "you can't say x unless you're part of that repressed minority" argument doesn't do it for me.

(Anonymous) 2008-06-22 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, I didn't say I agreed at the OP at all and am not making that argument. It just bothers me when people say "I CAN SAY THIS WORD 'CAUSE MY COUSIN'S SECOND-COUSIN'S BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER'S HAIR DRESSER IS GAY AND HE USES IT." Because some people do see gay people saying it and use it as justification, bb.

[identity profile] demyx.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
So we are both in agreement: it's better to just not say the word overall than say "Oh, it's OK if just gay people use it, so if I know a gay person OK with it..."

I understand I suck at satire and irony, I was just demonstrating how only letting gay people say "faggot" doesn't make the word any less insulting. if the OP hadn't added that last bit, I might have actually agreed.

If a word is that bad, no one should be saying it.

[identity profile] sophiaplease.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
i agree with everything you said and the replies 8D. i joke all the time with my gay friends AND black too with the 'nigga' stuff lmao |D.

[identity profile] demyx.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather see those words thrown around in a joking manner. I like to think that one day those words would just devolve into slang that everyone uses and loses it's original context. That's what happens to all words, doesn't it?

I know words have power, but they also lose that power once the original meaning is lost. D8 *wishful thinking, I suppose*

[identity profile] ahvia.livejournal.com 2008-06-23 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
you're exactly right. That's what I like to think, anyway. It's all cultural, and the way it gets thrown around now, well, the main reason it still HAS that offensive power is because of people like the secret poster, and like... dumb rednecks who still use it that way.
