That is a weak shit excuse.

Sorry if you think the truth is a "weak shit" excuse. I didn't make the internet what it is today. [spoiler] juggle mah nuts biznitto [/spoiler]

I am not arguing whether or not the internet is cesspool full of terrible people who get big balls with the anonymity that hiding behind a keyboard provides. People like yourself. It most certainly is. What I am curious about is why so many knuckleheads like yourself feel the need to defend or justify this particular type of douchebaggery. When the douchebaggery is racist in nature, do you jump in to defend, or make excuses for the racists? If one of the players on the stream was black and people started throwing N-bombs at them, would you be so eager to justify it? Because, "hey, everyone is an asshole on the internet."

I'm defending the age old tradition of shit talking. It's funny in my opinion but not everyone has thick skin and a sense of humor. You should really not let mere words affect the way you feel. Hell, my sister and I greet each other in such a fashion. She says "hey bitch" and I say "what up hooker". We love each other and know better than to let words affect how we feel about ourselves. My favorite line from her was, in a game of halo, "you like frolicking through this tentacle forest don't ya bitch". I laughed, we played some more, end of story. I'm sorry if you're too sensitive to handle it. Again, not my fault you're a bit soft.

I am all about shit talking. From the sounds of it, your family is a lot like mine. We say "-blam!- you" a whole lot more than "I love you". But the thing is, if I know that someone can't handle it, I don't talk shit to them pure and simple. I have definitely crossed the line more than once and genuinely hurt someones feelings, and I always feel like shit when I do because that wasn't my intent. As it relates to the internet and what anonymous people have to say about me, I couldn't care less. But some people do. With that knowledge I don't talk shit to complete strangers. As a general rule, I don't talk shit to women unless I know them REALLY well. If you wouldn't drop an N-bomb on a black person, why would you think that it is ok to tell a complete stranger to "get back in the kitchen", or threaten to -blam!- them?. If you are talking shit to people knowing that they will not take it well, you are an asshole.

Point taken and I agree, the whole r@pe comment is out of line but I still feel they can verbally defend themselves should the need arise or just mute the asshat. The only way to get rid of people like that is to ignore their existence. By making these posts we're just giving them more publicity. As for racial slurs, it doesn't bother me as a Latino married to a mean ole blatina (she's half black and spaniard so I call her my little blatina. She loves it lol). Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes.
