Re: Nothing beats my balls
Considering that Dan hasn't gotten his hands on any decent weed in years, you can rest assured that it's tobacco in the cigarette.
And that's an eye in Rei's avatar? Holy crap, I thought it was some sort of green worm thing with a horrid sunken mouth.

You do look a little like the guy 'Fred' that Rosanne's sister Jackie married on the TV show 'Rosanne', but your avatar is too tame to be the best.

No, Brian.
I am not referring to a claim that my avatar is best.
I am referring to what you specifically said.
that itty bitty gay knight
Excuse me?
I seem to recall an admonishment to AZ about "yid" and "nig."
"Gay"?

What's wrong with that? I would have used an even more slang term for the woman in that avatar.

What is offensive about the word gay?
I think it is a delightful and proud acronym, these three letters speak volumes for equality.
None of my gay friends has a problem with it at all.

Rei,

What's wrong with that?
Because calling someone "gay" as an insult is inappropriate. It implies that there is something wrong with being gay.
Please explain to me how calling someone a "nigger" in an attempt to insult him is offensive but calling someone "gay" in an attempt to insult him is not?
Brian,

What is offensive about nigger/kike/wop/spic/beaner/wetback/faggot/dyke?
Oh, I don't know...something about the implication that there is something wrong with being gay.
Tell us, Brian, why did you bring it up?
quote:

Acronym?
Oh, do tell me what "gay" stands for. Last one I had heard was "Got AIDS Yet?"
quote:

There is a difference between describing and insulting.
Surely you're not implying that the picture in the avatar has sex only with other pictures, are you? That the picture is a scene of two people of the same sex being romantic?
Just what was the point of calling it "gay"?

I'll put it this way: if I saw someone who looked like that in person, I'd probably think she was a lesbian. Athletic-looking woman in a fairly butch helmet, doing archery in full body armor?
It's not an insult, it's a statement.
P.S. - if you knew any members of the GLBT community, you'd know that we have no problem with the use of the terms "fag" and "dyke". We're reclaiming them; we use them ourselves.

Rei,
What makes you think I'm not gay?
Oh, I've been very careful about keeping my sexuality out of discussions because, after all, it is irrelevant. Whether or not I am gay has nothing to do with the validity of my arguments.
quote:

Have you ever played any fantasy role-playing games? That picture looks like it got scanned off of some D&D book.
There's a reason that the male knights are dressed to the eyebrows in armor while the female warriors seem never to be able to scrape together enough cash to afford something more than a couple of solid metal pasties and a chain loincloth...and the fact that she's at least a C cup.
And it isn't to appeal to lesbians.

It's not an insult, it's a statement.
Right...Brian wasn't insulting AZ.

I thought he meant "gay" as in the sense of being happy, or well-festooned. In the context of an armored knight that seemed to be the more reasonable interpretation than anything having to do with sexual preference.

Funny, I know at least 6 women who do archery and swordplay in full-body steel armor (yes, helmets too) and none of them are gay. Two of them are married. (Yes, to men.) The lesbians I know are the least likely to be inclined to play knight.
We're reclaiming them; we use them ourselves.
Word reclaimation is a load of horse shit. That's why black people can say the n-word but other people can't.
And to reply to Rrhain...

Yeah. It's for the dodge bonus to AC, isn't it?
