But I know he's not a homophobe, so I chalk it up to comedic preference and move on.

I have no idea whether he's a homophobe or not. Frankly, that doesn't matter to me. You use the term for comedic effect. I wouldn't particularly use that word either but at least I know why you're doing it. Why the f*ck do you have to throw f*ggot into a description about a movie? Then, one of our members gets offended and the excuse of "Oh, I wasn't using it sexually" was thrown in. That's f*cking bullsh*t.

That's like saying "Hey John, I'm glad your mom is dead. OH JUST KIDDING LOLZ"

It's offensive that way he used it. I didn't mean to call out the mods. I actually like JWB. I just don't like that particular reasoning he uses often. I was just pissed.

Everything he said was scrutinized yet there are some members here that get away with murder. Don't get me wrong, I like JWB. I think that a blunt personality that speaks his mind is a good thing for this board, but using the term "f*aggot" that loosely is completely unnecessary and flat out disrespectful, no matter what the intended use.

Since I'm on that topic, what the f*ck is the intended use? If you're not using f*ggot to refer to somebody sexually then what the f*ck are you using it for? It makes no sense. It's stupid. It's childish.

I hate that word.F*ggot and ni*ger are the quickest way to end up with a Colombian neck tie.

Edit: Smoking?

I don't even want to type it, it's just such a gross, insulting, rude word.

Well if he didn't mean it sexually, then it's not bull**** if he says he didn't mean it sexually. I doubt he was saying that only gay men like art movies, or that only effeminate men like art movies. Sure he was using "faggot" to mean pretentious, but "pretentious" is a specific word, whereas faggot is an inclusive word that implies a more vague negativity--though an old-world dislike/mistrust of "non-manly" things is at least subconsciously implied.

Not justifying it, but demonizing vocabulary is dangerously close to being the thought police, so I prefer to look at it objectively.

Hell yes. My use of the word has tailed off drastically after high school, but in the right company, throwing around offensive words of all kinds is perfectly enjoyable.

Now I think this argument is growing stale considering JWB hasn't said a word in his defense. Probably a good time to just...

I actually find it kind of funny that I've used the dreaded N-word out loud before (not in a hateful tone) and just last night Ki and I were thinking of hilarious insults with his parents in their car (e.g.; douchecanoe, knobjockey, cumdumpster, twatwaffle, etc.) but I have never, never in my life said "faggot".

I called one of my bosses at an old job an asshole before (to his ugly fucking face, no less), have openly used the word "cunt" to describe an unpleasant person, and will tell you exactly how the fuck I feel about something, you fucking piece of shit, but using homophobic language is off limits.

Agree to disagree I guess. I just think, for somebody who prides himself on speaking his mind no matter what, that using that word in the way that he did, and then backing off by saying he didn't mean it that way, is bullshit. I guess it just comes down to me not knowing why people would use that word for any other reason than what it means, an archaic derogatory word that puts down homosexual people that has no place in our society anymore.

Yeah, I can agree to that. Until JWB responds of course. I think it'll be back on then.

assh*le, c*nt, and piece of sh*t are universal. The kind of offense felt with those words is WAY different than the kind felt with f*ggot.

You use that word and you are revealing something about yourself.
