Forums - General - The "That's so Gay" is a dumb thing to say thread.

I report people who say that on the forums, every time I see it.

Im wondering, is it ok to tell people who have RROD Xbox 360s that they aren't gay enough? That the Xbox 360 feeds on gay energy, and without it, the console will perish?



Tease.

I CANT STAND THAT SAYING!!!!!!



Why can't gay just get third definition?

1: happy
2: homosexual
3: stupid

Meh, it's already engraved into my head, it'll take a generation for it to wear off. Kinda like how it's socially unacceptable to be racist against blacks and Jews (even though it was a few decades ago), but occasionally some old person will slip up, and I don't blame them.

Is it now?

Jews are still used as the punchline in jokes.

I guess I should stop calling my dog a 'dirty jew' when she comes in all muddy. I still think using 'dirty bitch' is appropriate though.

(I mean no offense to anyone).

Really? Whenever I hear those jokes they're like black jokes, not meant seriously at all.

I fucking hate Azns, but they sorta have a point where the Asian jokes are kinda done in a lot more earnest than Black jokes and other taboo jokes.



I like the campaign. Sure, its just a word but still it can't hurt if people think about what they say once in a while.

I think that people are much more aware of what they do when making a racial joke than they are about using the gay-word. Probably because it's not that obvious who's gay and who isn't.

It's also funny that here in Germany kids actually rather use the term gay in this context than the german equivalent. Shows that they do not intend to discriminate a minority and rather demonstrates that they don't really think about what they say when they think it's a cool expression.

So again: Can't hurt to make people think once in a while. Helps kids growing up a little :)

wait a minute. you're telling me that people still say "that's gay" when referencing something they don't like? That's so last gen.


Yeah, but it's gonna be next-gen too.  Most of the people I see use that word are 10-12 years old.  The rest just act that way.



I think people need to get over it.
