Is it ok to report people if they offend and harass me with homophobic terms?

Oh lord, I've seen quite the bad posting in my day, but this...

Why can't we use the word f***?

Because it is considered a homophobic slur.

"Man" and "bro" aren't.

Your personal perception of this word's meaning means nothing, as you are the one who inflicts it.

I don't take any offense in being called a monkey, as a white rock climber.
A black climber probably would.

I feel more than a little uneasy sharing the game with someone who claims to have no idea what words will or will not land them in jail if shouted in the streets.

There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.

This 48 year old gay male disagrees and has reported you. Most indeed.

FU



one of my oldest friends is gay, his b/f gets offended when I use it and *(others) but between us it isn't an offensive term as we have known each other for nearly 40 years now and use it jokingly - however if a stranger uses it then it definitely is an offensive word so when his b/f is present I try to restrict its use as he really gets upset and I don't want my eyes scratched out by a queen.ShockedTwisted

he calls me "breeder" "and many others Big smile no offense meant by either of us and none taken

why does anyone care what sexuality others are if it doesn't affect their lives? - I don't get it...

Oh since your thread were you cried about having received a warning for calling someone a naughty word has been locked you hopped on an alt and continue to cry about it?

How butthurt can someone get over a trivial thing as a warning for naughty behavior ???
I swear my 10 year old nephew has a higher maturity level than you since he quickly understands when he got punished for something that was not ok or against the rules.

Your precious account should be perma banned for spaming the forums with trolling threads.

You are obsessed with your beliefs on this one. You have rationalized your anger. When your rationale is threatened, the anger shows in your posts. You go from reasonable to angry very fast. You told people to kill themselves. that's anger.

I dont like that, im not a man...


Same goes when people is straight and we call them fags, we get reported..

So if you call me a man or a bro or some other homophobic term im reporting you.



Since when does being gay make you not a man?

I thought gay was a term for a man that likes other men instead of women.

So you are a man....
So its not a insult...

Am i missing something here?

Here is a test to see if the word is offensive.

Got out to your local town center and walk up to the first group of males you see.

Call them all fags and by their reaction you will find if the term is offensive.


If they beat me up i call the cops and they will end up i jail.

while I just go and finish my drink.




That's the problem with you morons raised on a steady diet of TV and junk food.

Life is not a movie bro.

In what fantasy world do you think your face will even be functioning enough to speak into a phone after being **** kicked by a group of high strung homophobic inner city thugs?

The only drink you'll be finishing is through an I.V.

Being righteous in your beliefs is fine. But I draw the line at people pretending that they are somehow immune to reality. That's just not healthy behavior.

If you feel harrassed file a support ticket and the GM team will investigate your claim.

It is that simple. Trolling, is prohibited!
