f** isn't homophobic. Words aren't discriminatory. Only the way people use them is discriminatory and even then it's not the actual words that are discriminatory.
Are you in first year uni?

A pointless distinction.f** isn't homophobic. Words aren't discriminatory. Only the way people use them is discriminatory and even then it's not the actual words that are discriminatory.
Actually it isn't. IF people recognized this fact they would realise half the time they get upset is simply due to association errors and not actually due to anything worth getting upset about. It would make the world a happier less stressful place. Simply treating words by their meaning rather then associations.A pointless distinction.

I believe he's taking a different tack; that f** isn't being directed at gays any more, therefore it isn't offensive. He ignores the fact the word was a demeaning one intended to suggest weakness and is similarly being used to suggest people are weak or crap. Therefore the association remains.f** is a derogatory word for gay person. Nobody would sincerely suggest it's used in 2017 to describe a pile of sticks or whatever it meant 80 years ago.
It's used today to mean someone is gay. Simple as that. Some people use it in a derogatory way and others just use it as a label to mean homosexual. My argument is it should only offend when it is used in the deragatory way and by that I mean someone saying the word with a threatening tone and anger. It's not the word that is the problem but what is being associated with it through the expression used: I.e violence/isolation/superiority etc.f** is a derogatory word for gay person. Nobody would sincerely suggest it's used in 2017 to describe a pile of sticks or whatever it meant 80 years ago.

America the Super-hero coming to save Lady Liberty.....LOL....The pax americana moral via a well-honed Zionist owned, Hollywood formulae....The duping of our Western world kids minds, does indeed begin early.
MANUFACTURED CONSENT: 101.
Only because you are either making an association error or you are a homophobe. Im guessing the former so simply stop making association errors and its no longer offensive. The world is a slightly happier place when there arent so many offensive words in it.The word is offensive. I believe that 'cuck' is offensive too, for the same reasons.
It certainly is, but I think I would have to be in denial to think the use of cuck wasn't inherently homophobicOnly because you are either making an association error or you are a homophobe.

Try calling everyone at work a *******, say it means 'mate' to you and they are all making association errors, see if they agree that it's no longer offensive or that they are the ones with the problem if they find it offensive.Only because you are either making an association error or you are a homophobe.

Strange thing to give a s**t about.
* off I'll go to whatever boards I want, f***.Stick to the football boards then?
You're going to hell now buddy........................Strange thing to give a s**t about.
Obviously the posters above are cucks.
Quite seriously, I've learnt that offensive words don't matter on Bigfooty if someone is using them 'ironically'.I'm glad to see that this word has now been censored from bigfooty, and replaced with 'genius' as it is offensive to women and homosexuals. However I see it still appears here, so I am thinking perhaps it does not apply to moderator posts for some reason.
Can you please remove your slur?
Thanks.

I've campaigned pretty hard to get the word 'Mussie' banned but I got told people were using it sarcastically so it's okay.
People don't realise that using words like that in any capacity normalises it.
