I don't think ginger is derogative, it just means red-haired. I guess some assholes may have used it as an insult but the word itself is not an insult. Just like you could use the word 'black' to "insult" someone if you're an ass.

If you are trolling, good job and good effort. If you are really serious then man just WOW. Did your really say ginger=nigger??? I mean really, really??? And actually ginger is a term used for hair color, slang or not. As there are actual hair coloring products that are sold that are in the shade of "ginger" Nothing like a quick google search to determine that. Now if the site asked ethnicity and had "ginger", then yea you might have a point.

Weird. On another forum that I browse alot (not gaming related) a user was complaining pretty much for the same thing today (being called Ginger).

But yeah I find odd how this site is moderated. You can call someone else stupid and you probably won't get banned. Yet, somehow, calling someone else a fanboy is a bannable offense. I don't see anything offensive about the fanboy word.


this is just me talking and my opinion on it. but i really dont think the mods see fanboy as an offensive word. but they know if they allowed it every discussion would end with "you're just a huge fanboy". and users would use it to call out other users. it would pretty much kill discussion as people would just run around calling each other fanboys. so instead, the mods just say "yeah its offensive" and get rid of the word and lte discussion flow.

I guess it's possible. But on the early days of this site everybody was calling each other a fanboy and the discussions weren't really worse. I wouldn't say better neither.. at the end of the day is a pretty meaningless word so I find weird that is viewed almost as the ultimate offense on this site.

Ahhh, so your one of those people that spins everything to make it look like it's being prejudice/racist. Don't you have anything better to do and why do you even give a fuck?

I think some people wander around just looking for reasons to be offended. We have become a nation full of victims just looking for reasons to be upset about something no matter how trivial and yes, I think that is trivial. Are you lying awake at night? Are you crying yourself to sleep over this? I mean really now...

The offensiveness of a word is pretty insignificant when almost no one considers it offensive. You are the first person I've seen offended by the word. Are you coppercob?
