Well said. People argueing in this thread that it's replaced the word stupid are stupid. Use the word stupid, I know what that word means. If it has replaced the word then where do people think it came from, why did it replace it? A word of originating from a derogative meanings is still that. I'm not going to try and turn a racist word (maybe the 'N' word) into something like that am I now what makes it acceptable with the word gay used in such a mannor? I do have a foundness for correcting people when they use 'gay' in this manner, though. Normally asking them if they mean it's happy or have an attractive to the same sex. |
Agreed. Also, those stating the word is simply changing meaning again need to question why the word 'Gay' was chosen in the first place as an insult on online gaming. Coincidence, or because of it's existing connotations? The latter I strongly believe.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
