Is this offensive to you?
I would like to know of it is offensive to Americans when someone in a fireteam party says "Merica!" or refers to one as a "Murican". And not also when playing Destiny but also in this forum. I am not from the U.S. so I would like to know.
Last night doing the raid one party member blew himself up by firing a rocket launcher directly inside a Titan's shield, and when he laughed someone else said "...that's not funny...it may be to you because you hail from Murica!"... and I thought that was funny but did not laugh because silence ensued. Everyone kept quiet about it.
So is it an offense? The internet tells me Americans like to joke about it too, but I dont know if its the same as being called a bitch or an idiot.
Any thoughts?

The moment sounds like a funny DOH! moment that everyone has on occasion when they play any game (heck I backed up too far while firing a rocket yesterday fell off of the platform I was on shot it and blew myself up....and I just rolled my eyes and called myself retarded...its happens). The problem I have is the response from the teammate is not at all funny....not because he said Murica....but basically he called the person an idiot for laughing at his own mistake. That to me is enough to silence any room. Really mr perfect? Your telling me you never made a single little slip up before? If he had just said something to the affect of....Oh you Muricans......that probably would have been appropriately funny in the situation. But calling someone out because they did something they already know was dumb (and they laughed it off) and doing it in a serious manner in an effort to bash that person..........is just foolish....they make the town idiot look like a genius.
