BTW, now i feel like a dumbass for taking the OP seriously in the Dolphin Porn thread.

 

[DietRob]

Whats a 50ppper?

50 posts per page as opposed to 100 posts per page.

Whats a 50ppper?

50 posts per page users. They're animals they are.

 

[Rentahamster]

Can you give me a single link where cis was used as an insult?

There have been cases, and one in particular that I remember, but it was an out of character emotional overreaction. Plus I like that poster, so I'm not gonna link.

Though I wonder. Does Clark actually find "stop being such a cis" offensive,

Probably not.

or is he just mad that he can't openly insult transsexual people?

C'mon son...

Let's not speculate that your fellow posters have the worst of intentions.

From a few pages back:

When you see an apple, and you know it's an apple, Neogaf will always disagree and say just because it's an apple, it could possibly morph into an orange, therefore it should be identified as an orange, and you should address it as a orange. Yeah nah. 5 seconds later banned.

So, yeah.

People who belong to the club of GAF Kings:

1. Less slowdown because of re-quoted GIFS
2. You don't have to constantly read over the same posts over and over to get to the recent posts (New Posts button often doesn't work)
3. It works far better when using Google Search.

So in another thread, a poster put a link to a picture of Obama being accused of being a "pussy." Is this an acceptable or unacceptable use?

It's only unacceptable if you mean to imply that all women are Cowards.

Not just a "pussy" but also a "little bitch."

I'd argue that it's unacceptable because of the gendered usage of the word. By implying that he's less of a man ("a pussy"), it thus infers that women are as well and does nothing but enforce gender roles.

It's a headline in the Onion article....

 

[Dead Man]

Can someone clarify to me why everybody's so stressed out about douche all of a sudden? See, now that strikes me as the very definition of manufactured outrage. Who, exactly, is arguing genuinely that it is sexist?

Douche is not something I am freaking out about, but if you are arguing that insults that reference women are sexist, douche most assuredly is included.

 

[Stet]

But douche is french for shower.

 

[pigeon]

That's not the rule.

Come on dude, you really think were going to fall for that? We know the french don't have showers.


*low blow*

 

[Dead Man]

That's not the rule.

What would you say the rule appears to be at the moment?

But douche is french for shower.

And faggot is English for pork meatball. Douche as an insult is referencing female genitalia as a negative property.

This post is racist and you should be banned immediately.

My smartphone can't handle giffy gaf over a 3G connection. I'm a 50ppp'er and damn proud of it.

Same. I have to use IE at work and I can't imagine trying to load any of the sports threads with the massive gifs

Racist? That's like saying making fun of someone being Canadian is racist. Xenophobic, sure.

 

[Rentahamster]

From a few pages back:



So, yeah.

Hmm.. :/

A bit passive aggressive, but not necessarily a smoking gun. I still don't like it, though.

That's not the rule.

Do you consider the arguments I quoted in my post to be misguided?

Wait douche references female genitalia as a negative property? Maybe my definition of douche is really offbase, but isn't it just referring to a feminine cleaning product?

Is the word used to marginalize or insult women for being women? Yes or no.

 

[MrToughPants]

*low blow*

As a french speaking person I'm offended by this post.

 

[Dead Man]

Is the word used to marginalize or insult women for being women? Yes or no.

Is that the only criteria now? Better get rid of 'dog' 'whale' 'slut' 'woman' 'girl' 'prude' etc. I was sort of under the impression that words and phrases that uses the female gender and its attributes as insults were sort of gendered too. As per Rentahamster's very good post on the subject.

 

[Rentahamster]

Is the word used to marginalize or insult women for being women? Yes or no.

Historically? Yes.

Contemporarily? It depends on context.

 

[CrankyJay]

Is the word used to marginalize or insult women for being women? Yes or no.

No, can't men be douchebags? It sort of took a meaning of its own, sort of like "idiot jerk", it has nothing to do with women anymore.

 

[NinjaFridge]

No, can't men be douchebags? It sort of took a meaning of its own, sort of like "idiot jerk", it has nothing to do with women anymore.

'Douchebag' is almost always used towards men.

 

[Trent Strong]

Historically? Yes.

Contemporarily? It depends on context.

So it's the same as "bitch" then?

 

[CrankyJay]

'Douchebag' is almost always used towards men.

Yes, my question was rhetorical.

 

[Satch]

Can't men be pussies, bitches, and whores?

I think what people don't really get that about this kind of speech if you look at another way is that:

Women think they're being used as an example of something undesirable.

Men are using it as an example of (men to men) "if you aren't a man, you're shit. It doesn't matter what you are, as long as you aren't a man everything you are is invalidated"

Think of it another way: You're each part of two cliques. If someone says that makes you feel like either another clique or not part of that clique, it's not because that clique is worse than yours because ____. It's because ANYTHING that isn't your clique isn't good enough. You're either in that clique or you aren't.

Think of it another way: You're a hardcore gamer or you're a casual gamer. Hardcore gamers will call other people casuals (because yes casual is seen as worse primarily) but hardcores just want to play with other hardcores, and casuals don't see things the same way.

The only thing that happens when you try and stop/ban offensive words people will always create new one's with more or less the same meaning. Don't worry though 10 years from now every word will be offensive, in which case just opening your mouth will be an offence to people, I can see it from the stars I can.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Yes, my question was rhetorical.

Goddamn internet.

 

[CrankyJay]

Can't men be pussies, bitches, and whores?

Of course, but apparently you can't say the same of a woman without being labeled a misogynist, so if value your GAF account it's best to air on the side of caution.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

What if someone is called a dick?

Go to bed, Jimmy.

Another thing.

French isn't a race. Chinese isn't a race.

There is one race, the human race. What you're talking about is a regional/cultural demographic.

I like this, I'va always known it as "error on..." and whether or not it was a mistake doesn't matter. This sounds like the title of a great album or book.

Err on the side of caution.

And it is good advice.

It is actually 'err on' but I agree, Bachs Air on the side of caution would be awesome.

Aye-aye, saftey first!

Now that just took it to a more composed level, for me. I agree.

 

[CrankyJay]

Err.

I originally put err but decided to look it up and err means to make a mistake.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/err

Is this just an ironic saying then? Make a mistake on the side of caution?
