Again, his thing.

f*ggot is on par with n*gger IMO.

I grew up in a 99.9% white world where f*ggot, n*gger, spic, and queer were tossed about casually by the adults. Makes me sick to think back on it.

Two people posting a Louis CK video for the sake of the argument. Not sure if I should be impressed.

What would you like us to do? Is there some pattern here that I'm not aware of? I agree his use of the word is inappropriate but this is the only time I've seen him use it. I can delete it. I can delete every offensive word anyone ever says on here moving forward but I suspect that would only achieve the goal pissing everyone off.

I'd just like to mention, the mods shouldn't have to do anything considering most swear words are censored anyway.

Yeah, I know that's some fucking faggot shit right there.

I think he's saying a curt warning --- "please don't use that insult" or something. It is a stupid thing to say: it in fact implies, whether meant or not, that such movies are for those of a certain sexual disposition. It's also offensive to those of us who have chosen to be piles of wood used to start fires...

Ehhh, I don't know. I was pissed off. I'm not really calling for any action but I just find it weird that JWB can say whatever he wants with no consequence. The fact that Chula, a recently newish member calls it "his thing" is evident enough that he throws the term around enough to warrant some discipline.

Also, as far as removing every offensive word, you know that's not where I was going. Using the term "f*ggot" to describe a movie is offensive. I know a couple people on this board who would be and most likely are offended by that. Myself included. "F*ck" and "sh*t" are not the same as "f*ggot*.

TBH, using the term that loosely is what pissed me off the most. It just shows and ungodly amount of ignorance in my opinion. If he started to describe a gay person as being a f*ggot, it would still be offensive as hell, but at least it would make sense. Calling a movie a f*ggot art movie just doesn't make any sense. It's just so unnecessary to use the term. Use these...

F*aggot? Nah, that's just childish. Sorry. Didn't mean to turn this into a political debate, but hey, at least it's in an acceptable thread.

People have been throwing off color remarks around a lot recently. Ever since Sansa got banned the general PC atmosphere of the forum has gotten MUCH more laid back. I highly doubt I would have gotten away scot-free with calling Roxy a "flat-chested beaner" only a few months ago. Do I appreciate JWB using that word in that way? Not particularly. But I know he's not a homophobe, so I chalk it up to comedic preference and move on.

I made fun of Roxy for acting like she had autism a few days ago. Definitely a more laid back atmosphere if I can get away with things like that. And like Batty said, it was for comedic purposes.
