Batman Slapping Robin

Ni**er f*ggot.

What do I win?

I thought that was an awful comment... but actually it is a brilliant response... I just don't get the original meme, though...

OP was basically trying to say that you shouldn't use gay as an insult, just as you wouldn't say 'n*gger'.

I challenged that opinion by stating that you could in fact say both, because both are exactly as hurtful as you want them to be. there is no such thing as an offensive word, only an offended person.

What I don't get is why you thought it was a brilliant response. You seem like the type of person that takes 'offense' seriously as a concept (if I can infer that from 1 line of text) So what did you read into my comment there? :)

I don't like anyone using either of the two words you used in your response. Its hard to judge people's intentions, unless you already know each other already. I wouldn't want someone who is bringing a different viewpoint suddenly be turned off imgflip by a random comment. But I responded only after I saw the rest of the comment chain, which told me that it was not intended to be a malicious comment. I think there is still such a thing as "offensive word" based on society's standards, which change over time. Laws are in the books for "swearing", "insulting", "using obscene language" although it doesn't seem to describe what is considered as such. Also to say that there are only offended people, seems to prejudge offended people. Why shouldn't I be offended if someone says racist or homophobic things?

"Why shouldn't I be offended if someone says racist or homophobic things?"

Because there's no such thing. There are only racist or homophobic people.

An example: I don't hate n*ggers more or less than anyone else. Racist statement or not racist statement? By your logic, it should be racist because it contained a "racist word". But can a statement that essentially means "I care about everyone equally" really be racist? Is that not a fundamental perversion of language?

Likewise with socalled insults. Laws pertaining to such are remnants of a long bygone era, where people would put each others' eyes out over "fighting words". I do believe we are beyond that. Anyone who is "offended" over a word is an entirely useless human being. There is no such thing as "offense". All it is is a powerplay by you to make other people walk on eggshells around you.

I cannot abide such behaviour. It is beneath us as a species.

I guess the world is not ready for this kind of thinking. When I start hearing the N word and others like it at work without consequences, it's the day I quit.

As always, the world must be made ready.

No matter how many n*ggers, kikes, wetbacks, spics, f*ggots, ching-chong-chopsticks and yes, crackers and honkeys, may object.

OmGINA you're so clueless you must be a straight white male. So funny! I love it. Straight white boys have smaller minds than most people. I understand why you don't know anything. Just smile and look pretty and you will get far ;)

"Straight white boys have smaller minds than most people."

I find your lack of self-awareness amusing. See... when I said that "there are no offensive words, only offended people" then I meant it literally: There are no offensive words. Offense can only arise out of the meaning of those words, you can only be hurt by the information those words carry.
Now, when I call a n*gger a n*gger, that means absolutely nothing. It's just a word, an insult used exclusively against n*ggers. Just as f*ggots is just an insult for f*ggots. All it really means is "I am pissed off at you right in this moment or in general". A n*gger or f*ggot who objects to you using those terms is saying "I don't want anyone to express anger towards me". That is authoritarian and a horrible and self-destructive mindset.
When you, however, say sentences like "Straight white boys have smaller minds than most people." then that is actual racism and sexism - and heterophobia, I guess? The words themselves are entirely innocuous, but what they mean strung together like that is " I view whites, males and heterosexuals as somehow lesser than me".
So what you just said is a representation of the actual concepts whose mirage you previously objected to.

In the end I can only advise you to clear your thinking - go deep inside yourself ("Oh my!" "Not that way!") and think: What have I previously connected to harmful streams of thought such as racism and sexism (innocuous sungular words such as n*gger or f*ggot) and what actually are indicators for those streams of thought ("you heteros" "you straight white males"). because only that way can you create a world free of such ways of thinking - not by banning words or some such nonsense, but by correctly identifying attitudes and dealing with them.

Then again, you can just remain a butthurt (pun intended) little f*g with racist, sexist and heterophobic tendencies.
I think that choice is easy to make - what do you think?

Hello, it's me again... I am sorry... I was an idiot.. I can't believe I used the generalization that straight white men are lower than me. I was a hurtful mean person but I took time and researched and realized how toxic I WAS! Go ahead, use gay as a negative! I am finally a big boy!!!! Words don't hurt me. I wonder how many wonderful people I pushed out of my life for stupid cry baby feelings. Once again, I am sorry

That is very good. It's great that you two have found your way beyond the endless swampy morast that is offense and emotional attachment to words or ideologies and embraced the warm light of love, freedom and acceptance that stems from having a clear view on the way things are.

p.s. Some people may come to talk to you about the jewish question, it happens - ignore them, they haven't really thought things through.

Oh and one more thing. Now that words don't offend me, holy f**k, memes are ten times funnier! This website kicks ass- oh shit, how donkeyphobic of me

Hahahahahahah! OmGina straight men crack me up! Hahaha you believe that?!? I have to share this comment. I can't believe someone said something this dumb hahahahaha! "there is no such thing as an offensive word, only an offended person." This world would be a lot less entertaining without our ugly prumal heteros entertaining us ;)
