Oh... Forum community... What are we gonna do with you?

Just putting it out there, this is me looking for confirmation that I'm in the right here... It's also very long. So, I've just been looking around and I found someone who seems to believe that the term desticle is someone who is anti-destiny. (Stupid right?) Well, I commented, saying (s)he was wrong. Then went on to call them a desticle... They were saying that people who post "goodbye posts" are the scum of the earth (pretty much). I disproved them by leaving a link to the urban dictionary definition of a desticle. They went on to say that that was fake. (A couple of meaningless posts later and I gave up). Well, until I saw them call someone else a "queer". This upset me, not because I'm LGBT, but I know people who are. I said I was going to report them, to see if they knew how offensive it was, then reported them. After that they called me a queer, as well as a crybaby (pretty childish for someone calling me: "kid" all the way through this) I called them a homophobe - they said it was not offensive towards gay people. So I posted a link to the Wikipedia definition of the word, as well as a quote from the urban dictionary definition, saying: 'it is extremely offensive when used to describe someone'. They say that I am, just as much, in the wrong for calling them a desticle. I say that's an irrational comparison. To which, they respond: [quote]So now we are defining [i]how[/i] derogatory a name is? Do you have some kind of scale you use? You're okay with derogatory name-calling as long as it doesn't have any association with a gay person? You're a special kind of person, aren't you?[/quote] Why are gaming communities like this? It really sickens me! Please tell me if you think I did something wrong. (Bear in mind that this account may be biased towards myself, although I think it's as neutral as possible).

  • The kid made a good point. To him the word desticle is appalling (apparently) The same way that the word queer is appalling to you. Might be bull shit, but it's still a good point. Point is don't argue with idiots like that my man.
