i was aiming more at how inconsequential it is that someone wants to use a stupid catchphrase acronym on a video gaming messageboard. live and let live anyone? i really don't see how it's harming anyone but the basement dwelling haters.
i mean seriously, mike is the king of stupid photoshop "jokes" and holier than though attempts at scatological humor, but he can't stand one stupid catchphrase? try waking up before noon dude. maybe you won't be as cranky.
now, i can see how F*UTA is kind of a big deal since it's short for something obscene (as well as stupid), but people are always going to be agreeing with each other. policing their different verbal forms of agreement is about as futile as opa mail ordering a taiwanese bride.
I find it alarmingly inconsequential that someone wants to debate a stupid censorship issue on a video gaming messageboard.
Also, one stupid catchphrase? I listed 3, and there's at least one other that I know I'm forgetting. Catch phrases are usually initially funny, but they get old, fast. It has nothing to do with the obscene nature, obviously. You may shrug off this implementation as lame because it's for a "videogame message board" on the "internet", but you could apply that general mentality to anything anyone does on here. Edit a picture of goatse out of a thread? What's that guy's problem, this is just a message board, not the real world. Ban someone for being racist? Jeez, it's the internet, what's his problem.
This board's pretty fucking awesome, and one of the lesser reasons it is so is because of the small yet tight moderation. You can talk about fingering women, joke about a man chopping off a wife's head with a chainsaw, make pictures of rebels in Iraq throwing pokeballs at tanks, shit like that. You can't post scans of magazines, use racially derogative terms (unless you're bishop, CK, or Shinobi), flood the forum, or post incredibly overused pictures or, as of tonight, acronyms.
The inital FHUTA thread was entertaining, but it's gotten to the point where people will just post FHUTA in any question related thread, it serves no purpose whatsoever.
But if you don't like it, you can feel free to start up your own EZBoard forum complete with a FHUTA subsection riddled with imbedded wav's of Who Let the Dogs Out.
