I guess I did my part to contribute to the nerdrage on GTA IV. That is one of the sorriest ports that I have ever encountered.

Indeed. I was kinda in a hurry and didn't check well what the thread was about.
Oh. Oh, I see, RPGWatch is striving toward the ideal of RPGCodex! Man, people should've given me that memo, so I can go around calling people fornicators of their mothers.
While I've already acknowledged that the writers of this article were using the word in irony, people who go the opposite of "the PC police" are just as irritating. Trivializing the problem will not make it go away, and "reclaiming" the words only works if you're part of the minority in question--that's why no one will blink twice when a black person were to use "nigger" in a joking context, for example. When you happen to be part of the dominating majority and you keep insist on solving the problem by an "oh, let's just joke about it," it tends to be your privilege showing. Hence the white, middle-class heterosexual male guess. You don't speak for homosexuals or people of color, thanks.
The reason racism and homophobia are still huge problems is because we still treat those differences as a big deal, and because we talk about it as if race or sexual orientation was particularly interesting. I propose that it's not and we get over ourselves.
You get over yourself. I suggest keeping in touch with reality, it'll help you sound less like a naive whining child.
That makes me MAD!!! Or should I say that it was gay for you to post in the wrong thread?!?! Or ... aw crap, what the heck IS this thread about anyway!?!?!?!?!
All this gay, racism, etc. is really not about sexuality or inferiority of some race. It's about breaking somebody. You find a weakness and you keep hitting the guy until he breaks. It's a constant battle between males about who's the top dog.
So everyone teases/probes everyone for a weakness, constantly. You get a letter from home, your buddy asks if your wife got a boyfriend already. You get your 14-y old daughter's photo (and you are white), somebody gonna say that she likes some black dick. You get all kind of insults daily. If you are an immigrant from Europe, they ask if you wear speedos under your fatigues. And gay/race insults are the easiest ones, so they are the most common.
So i don't buy this "let's joke about race/sexuality", by telling "jokes" you are subtly trying to dominate somebody, show that you're better then them. It makes you feel better, otherwise you wouldn't do it, right?
since the likelyhood of someone being both gay and female and visitinging this site is pretty slim, how about a scenario from that perspective...
