Political correctness

[bloodfox]

Listen, All I am saying is do you like it how people are way to sensitive about political correctness. And about the dr suess thing, I am saying why is it such a big deal when, It is just a fricking book.

If the guy I like is gay, I will call him a gay (or homosexual, idk what is better)
If the guy I hate is gay, I will call him a faggot.

Easy

I don't get why faggot is even a homosexual slur. People who fancy themselves as "progressives" have been treating faggot like it's the n-word for gay people. I'm not trying to be snarky here. But is it progressive to give gay people an n-word?

I'm not saying it shouldn't be an insult, but I don't see how is it relevant towards gay people.

EDIT : I hope I'm not derailing the thread.

Uh, nobody's giving anyone any words. It's a slur, plain and simple. The origin is irrelevant. Also Vlad is some edgy kid so who cares what he thinks, he'll grow up eventually and realize that words can hurt people's feelings and that he doesn't have to try so hard.

If words didn't offend people, why is swearing bad :(((
