Nigger. Chink. Faggot. Tranny.

These are four words that are completely inappropriate to use, with the exception of 'reclamation' by people belonging to the groups referred to. This isn't even 'Civilized Behavior 101.' This is fucking remedial.

You don't call a black person a nigger.

You don't call an Asian person a chink.

You don't call a gay man a faggot.

And you don't call a trans woman a tranny.

Except, apparently, some of you do. And I'd like to hear why you think that's appropriate.

"I didn't really think 'tranny' was in the same category as those other words, shit, I'll stop using it" would suffice quite nicely. ;P

"I don't really think 'tranny' is in the same category as those other words, and here's why" would at least let me know why you use it.

"I don't have to explain myself to you" is true, of course.

"...you've already made up your mind," isn't.

I mean, yes, I've made up my mind that 'tranny' isn't appropriate. What it means that you're using it, though? I don't know.

Morgan, you are assuming that none of them belong to those reclamation groups. You don't know that for sure, do you? 

Plus there is never going to be a complete society of people who will never offend other people. 

I swear you act like one of those people that feels like they are a better person just because you attack at others that you believe act badly. I don't see how calling someone's behavior "remedial" is helpful or a nice thing to do on behalf of others. Also these words that are offensive constantly change. Remedial might be a new one as of its connection to those with intellectual disabilities, also known as the mentally retarded.

Yeah, no, I'm really pretty sure that none of the three people I tagged are trans. >_<

'Things will never be perfect' doesn't mean that there's no point in trying to make them better.

And I am not 'attacking' them because it makes me feel like a good person.

I am doing so because I am pissed off.

That said... I am trying to be reasonable. So, yes, possibly I shouldn't have implied that my post was providing remedial education. Probably not helpful. Then again, the general consensus seems to be that I shouldn't expect civilized behavior from these people regardless of what I do, so... yeah. >_<

Lol. I'll be serious now.

Well, since being here, I've come to learn the web isn't serious business. I would not use a racial slur against anyone in real life, besides the fact I have actually called "transwomen" tranny, gay, fag and stuff. But that's only when they come on to me. I find it insulting that another man, who has the delusion that he's a women, would come on to me. I don't dress like I swing that way, I don't talk like I do, and if I don't give you any hints then that means I'm into actual women. 

We have free will. They feel like they're a woman on the inside, even though they aren't, no matter how many operations the get. It is also "real mens" free will to express how they feel about them.

On other notes. A racial slur is something I will not call someone unless insultex in thev

Well there's always CoG princess. They're very tran...sgender friendly over there.

Not really sure why you hang around here anyway considering you've repeatedly acted like a passive aggressive asshole going on about how the coding here sucks and how everyone should go use Twine or ChoiceScript instead.

But hey there's still a lot of freedom of speech on this site, so who am I to tell you shut the fuck up about it? That's right I won't.

But here's some advice, stop with the internet activism and make a REAL change for transgender rights on here by making a CYOA story with a transgender protagonist. A deep complex one that will change people's minds. Make one so popular and well written that you can come back here and say "HAH! I wrote something better than you ever could you transphobic fucktard!"

Seiously, I'd respect THAT a whole lot more than this attempt.


As for WHY I'm saying tranny or faggot or whatever other racial slur that's in vogue at the moment, well if I told you I feel that would destroy some of the mystery in our up until now civil internet relationship and we can't have that.

Always thought it was cuz you're from Detroit.

Seriously though, I think that (especially on the internet), it kinda follows the famous loophole in the Golden Rule. "What's hateful to you don't do to others" -> "Well what if I don't find it hateful?" And I think people who use those words simply don't care or find them particularly offensive, so they use them. It's a culture and honestly, as someone who dislikes using those words, you need to mature and realize that people either grew up using those words or just don't find them offensive enough to care. So Drako can call CreatorX the offensive version of 'Negro' and someone else can call Drako a 'white-ass cracka'-- because in the end there's nothing really to care about.

Does that mean that 'sensitive' people need to put up with so-called assholes? Of course! And if an asshole begins to speak, is there anything else to do but laugh?

Passive aggressive? Really? Because I feel like 'hey, the coding here sucks, I suggest Twine or ChoiceScript' is pretty direct, actually. Passive aggressive would be me expressing my sympathy for all the time you've sunk into making games that can't readily be moved off of an increasingly dated and irrelevant site. ;P

And I have a WIP already, thanks. Not to mention, I'm not actually trans, and there are a number of people working in this space who are. If anyone's going to make a choice-based game about being trans that's so powerful it changes people's minds, it's probably going to be one of them. But I'll be sure to post a link. ^_^

Meanwhile... I'm here because I have friends here. And up until the point where I say 'fuck it, this isn't worth it anymore,' I'm going to keep speaking up when people post offensive shit.

If you've gone so far as to have sex with a transgerndered person, does it really matter?

Yeah, it may feel disturbing afterwards that they weren't always who they claim to be, but relax for Christ's sake, it's not like you're gonna turn gay just because the chick you just had sex with used to be a man.

Drakoblare's racist and a Ferrous Cranius, so if you think for one second that this is going to change anything with him, you're as wrong as shit. I really don't know why anyone wastes their time with him, I mean, he's not going to change, being the brainwashed skinhead that he is, and he's not even in a country that matters enough (Or at least not a country anyone actually cares about ever since the AD era rolled around and they stopped telling cool stories about three-headed dogs and naked men wrestling each other.) that he'll be able to affect us in even if he actually does something stupid, short of killing Amanda Knox on her next visit, becoming the next Mussolini, or starting the Glue Glutz Glan and hanging the Albanians, in which case everyone on the internet would be mucho pisso, not just you.

EDIT: Screw those first two, I keep forgetting that Greece and Italy aren't the same thing. Mediterranean Europe just sort of blends together for me... Come to think of it, so does Eastern Europe, you all need more hilarious regional accents so I can tell you apart. I mean, the whole reason I know that there's more than one country in Western Europe is because I know the hippie vikings live up on the penis-shaped peninsula, there's little islands full of funny-talking hobbits, and then one giant square-shaped country (with a bite taken out of it and given to the only non-asian country whose demonym ends with -ese) dedicated entirely to corny soap operas, right next to the cheese-eating surrender monkeys and... Fuck it, this stopped being funny a few seconds ago...

And Endmaster's entire spiel is that he's a politically incorrect sociopathic bastard who enjoys saying hurtful things to his token minority gardener as much as he enjoys drunkenly grinding through groups of pedestrians with his ice cream truck meth lab. You can't just change Endmaster's entire spiel. I mean, if you're asking the guy who wrote TRASH and A Very Special Choose Your Story not to say Nigger, Chink, Tranny, or Faggot, you're barking up the wrong farking tree. I don't care how moral or convincing you can make your argument, telling Endmaster not to be politically incorrect is like telling Quentin Terretino not to yell "FUCK!" when he gets his foot caught in a car door.

So, now that I'm finished charging blindly into this argument, what context am I missing?

Technically speaking, you can call people whatever you want, just don't expect them to react nicely about it, lol. I think the site should have some standards though, particularly with regards to the word nigger. Unlike the other words, nigger actually has a background beyond just being an insult.

I guess most people think you're trans because:
A) You're pretty pro trans
B) You don't identify with a typical... well actually you don't identify with anything if I recall correctly.

I actually agree with Endmaster that creating a story with a trans protagonist would go a long way to at least making people around here more accepting. Prejudice largely exist because of ignorance and fear. Though you'd have to take care to not make the story result in people hating trans folk more though, lol.

I'm not a huge fan of reclamation myself, frankly. Particularly of 'tranny,' since the majority of people 'reclaiming' it seem to be drag queens and trans men, while the majority of people who have to deal with it as a slur are (I suspect) trans women. But yeah, it's a thing people are doing, and if I didn't acknowledge that, someone was sure to bring it up. :P

I'm currently going with 'non-binary,' if that helps? XD

Err, you may be misunderstanding the premise of the story (as I see it at least).

You would just need to make a protag that is trans. If anything, making the focus of the story not about them being trans would go even further to people accepting trans people. Granted, them being trans would likely be it's own side-story to the main story out of necessity to make the point.

(Side note: I actually had to think for a bit of a good story with a protag that was actually... likeable and "good" for this example).

Imagine if a trans person was the star of Order of the Midnight Sun. Yes, them being trans would likely come into play, but it wouldn't be the focus of the story.

I mean, no one wants to read a story about a person who is trans just being trans. You're never going to make them relatable if you only focus on the part that isn't relatable to most people, right?

Words.

I second that concept, if this is going to be a thing. *shrug* As a somewhat related example, in both TOW and GOLAD, you can be gay / lesbian if you wanna be. It's not something I make a big deal out of and it's not the focus of the stories by a long shot. As far as I'm concerned, it's just another option, like picking your gender. The changes are relatively minor because your character is still your character, be they male or female, straight, bi, whatever.

Words.

8 years ago

Which is awesome, and I wholeheartedly approve. ^_^

That said... being trans is somewhat different. The only way I can think of to give cis people a sense of what it would be like would be to give them a choice of gender... and then make their character the opposite sex, and have everyone treat them as that gender. You picked male? Well, now you're female, and everyone around you insists that you're a girl. Have fun trying to convince them otherwise!

You can see how it's neither incidental nor optional, I think. ;P

Really? Being transgender isn't optional?!  No shit. I'm talking about in games, not real life. You wanna try being a little more condescending there? I think I'm a little offended on behalf of everyone who's ever been asked, "could you just... try not being gay?")

... On top of that, by saying it's 'not incidental,' you're implying that trans-people are not just regular people who happen to identify with the opposite gender to the one they physically were at birth. My point was that being gay or straight doesn't define that character. It's a detail and that's how it should be treated, just like you not identifying with a gender is a detail. 

Also, I disagree. Tricking the player into your POV is unlikely to accomplish anything other than people insisting your game is broken. It'd be better to just be upfront. "Choose: Transgender man / Transgender woman."

If anything, allowing them to pick male/female and having society insist they are the other is more likely to have them just conform to being what everyone else says they are. They have no real reason to care about their initial choice to the point of fighting tooth and nail for others to accept it.

Don't have them choose anything at all. Giving them a choice takes focus away from what you're trying to accomplish. I mean, if Morgan believes being transgender isn't a choice, then having it be a choice is rather ironic anyway, no?

Dealing with the player's inclination to say 'fuck it, I'll just go with it' would definitely be part of my job in writing this thing.

But yeah, no, they don't choose to be trans. Not even if it's a choice limited to 'trans man' and 'trans woman.' It undermines the point. The point is that you have an identity -- you're a man, full stop -- and the game is full of people telling you you're wrong. Maybe you even try to convince yourself you were wrong. Go ahead. See how far that gets you.

Sorry, apparently I was unclear. The antecedent to 'it' was 'being trans in-game,' not 'being trans.'

Being trans in-game can't be optional. Cis people would just opt out. Hell, a lot of trans people would probably opt out, too.

Being trans in-game can't be incidental. If you don't have to deal with people misgendering you, at minimum, then the game doesn't reflect the reality of being trans. One of the primary purposes for making this game would be to show cis people what it's like to be trans. And that's not, for the majority of trans people at this point in our history, sunshine and rainbows. So it may be a detail, but it's a pretty fucking significant one. It shouldn't be... but it is.

Words.

8 years ago
I get your perspective, but you're coming at it wrong.

The point of the game should be to make people think being trans ISN'T a big deal. Yes, people who are trans go through a lot of issues, but that's not the point. The point is people need to be able to relate to them before they can actually accept them and start caring about these issues.

Very few people can relate to not feeling like their gender matches what society says it is, or the troubles that come with it. The storygame you'd likely create with that mindset is one that "raises awareness" by trying to get everyone to feel pity for people who are trans and the struggles they go through. Which would accomplish about as much as your conversation with Endmaster has.

So yeah, them being trans should be incidental. They should have their own personality, goals, etc, that go beyond being trans. It's just another part of them that makes them who they are. Show some of the struggles they go through because they are trans, but focus on the fact that at the end of the day, they're just like everyone else.

THEN people will actually give a damn about their struggles.

Roll your hung over eyes all you want, but I'm actually attempting to dialog here rather than what you're doing which is trotting out the same old "trans blah blah". It's boring and quite frankly all it's doing is creating backlash to what you probably wanted as Sentinel pointed out.

Now it's possible you "reached" someone here but if you did they were most likely on "your side" in the first place. For the most part though this thread just served as a platform to spout off more racial slurs than anything else. If anything Honor should probably be offended. Lol

I find it pretty hilarious though you're going on about speaking out against "offensiveness" when you were same person that was defending TSR when he was obviously trolling or when you got offended on coins behalf because he was acting like an idiot with Drako calling his mom some racial slur. This is the same coins who was going on about "killing all tranny faggots" on several occasions. So forgive me if I don't find you to exactly be the best judge of character in the first place, which is why I'm not really inclined to "do what you say." 

As far as any "reputation" (Lol) I have on here, I'm of the mind that more people might place more stock in it than I do. If really cared about such a thing, I would have done a whole lot more to cultivate whatever it's supposed to be. I'm just some guy that writes a few stories on here as hobby. Nothing more, nothing less.

As for the story, well I thought with you being the active self appointed spokesperson here you'd want to REALLY do something besides just talk. But apparently not, you said you don't feel comfortable, fine, you don't feel comfortable.

I will say I'm not sure why you'd feel that uncomfortable though. You're at least an "ally." There are tons of guys that write female protagonists, or straight guys that write gay characters etc. and while probably not writing them 100% "correctly" they may write them well enough. Is more natural if a woman wrote a female protagonist, etc? of course it is, but the barriers can still be broken to some small degree even if the author isn't exactly the same as the character. It's the content that's important.

Anyway, RuPaul's Drag Race is coming on, I'll see you guys later in this thread or another, after all it's the Internet, where the fun never ends!

If you want a dialog, well... I'd still like an answer to my question.

Barring that, it kind of looks like you're trying to change the subject from your poor choice of words to my failure to be a sufficiently awesome ally. "Well, Morgan, maybe if you made an incredibly deep, complex, well-written game with a trans protagonist, then you'd actually accomplish something here"... says the dude who can't be bothered to justify his use of the word 'tranny.'

Look, if I'd been griping about the lack of trans characters in games, words to the effect of 'put your money where your mouth is' would be completely on-point. Or even if I was just generally bemoaning the lack of acceptance and respect that trans people have to deal with.

I wasn't, though. I was asking you about your choice of language.

Most recently, 'I don't find you to be a good judge of character,' referencing my tendency to defend people you consider to be trolls.

So, yeah... not really seeing a cohesive whole, here.

I didn't write coins off as a bigot... and I'm glad I didn't. And I think TSR's re-emergence proves my point about him not just being a troll -- he's obviously trying to be a part of the community, however ineptly he may be going about it.

So, yes, I like to think I'm a reasonably good judge of character, actually.

Yep, truly a sterling example of tolerance there a few posts up.

However since you say you're a good judge of character, here's a question, why do you think I'm occasionally saying the word tranny? (Or any other offensive thing, it isn't the only word here)

Now you've already said you haven't written me off as a bigot (Which is probably a first for me) so I can only guess that you believe there might be some deeper meaning behind my use of the word. Perhaps I'm secretly a self loathing tranny or something. (Now wouldn't THAT be the plot twist?)

Or maybe you don't think there actually is a deep reason and you just think I'm saying offensive things for the shock value, but you just want confirmation from me that is the case.

I'm still not sure why you want to know though. What would you do with such information? It isn't like I'm going to stop even if I told you.

I've seen the self-loathing thing in action, though. It's really fucking unnerving, let me tell you, to be arguing with someone who is virulently anti-gay... and then they let something slip and you realize fuck, that could have been me.

But yeah, I said I was a reasonably good judge of character, not a mind reader. I don't know what's going on in your head. Maybe you don't think the word is that offensive. Maybe trans people are a group you're willing to offend. Maybe a little of both... especially if you think that they, as a group, are inclined to take offense when they shouldn't.

Pure speculation. You want to know what I'd do with the actual information? Cough it up, and find out.

ALL ANSWERS REVEALED! WHEEEE!

8 years ago

Well okay since you asked so nicely...

Laziness. Pretty anticlimactic I know.

I've used that word along with probably every other offensive word on here for so long that I'm not very inclined to stop using it immediately just because there is a change in the social climate.

Now the thing with me if you haven't already guessed, the more you tell me NOT to do something more likely I am going to do it. The "laziness" goes away and then the resistance kicks in. So preaching/scolding/whatever at me even to a minor degree is actually going to make me resist more. Getting offended just adds fuel to the fire.

Then there is also the fact that generally whenever I'm telling a story (on the forums or writing) I tend to use the more colorful language because well that's just how I do.

However, I find that over time I do tend to stop using certain words due to "osmosis." For example I used to use the term "oriental" more back in the day, now I typically don't use it at all. Hell, I find I don't even use the term fag or faggot as much as I used to. (Which was pretty much the standard insult that guys called each other all throughout school)

I imagine there will also come the day where the word "tranny" will lessen over time. Not sure if that day is any time soon though.

Anyway, that's basically all there is to it. Only took 200 posts.

I will admit, I was starting have a little bit of fun with you being evasive and like I said, you seemed to want to know so bad, so that made me less inclined to tell. You've got the patience of well I dunno, something that has a lot of patience so I figured I'd finally give an answer.

Of course, you just flat-out told me that preaching/scolding/whatever at you is going to have the opposite of the desired effect, which kind of cuts off the obvious avenues of providing additional motivation...

?@Morgan_R @Endmaster

Damnit Morgan, I've never met a more patient preacher. Seriously, have you considered going door to door spreading the word of our lord and savior? Those people are about the only real-life examples of those who can take the verbal beatings that you do and not get riled up. I'm always so impressed.

Anyway, I don't think that Endmaster is admitting that he should change. What he's saying is that you can tell by context if he's being bigoted. If he says "trannys are disgusting and vile", you can be sure that he's a bigot, but if he says "the tranny crossed the street and entered the store", then he's not insulting transgender people by using the word, in his mind. I think that his war is with sensitivity.

My sister is dating a FtM transgender man who used to get insanely sensitive when people would slip up with his pronouns. Damn, he was very feminine and even without meaning to, very occasionally, someone would say 'she' instead of 'he'. I can completely understand why that would be uncomfortable for him, but to take it as a personal affront is ridiculous. There was no malice intended, so to be personally offended is frustrating.

I think that End refuses to be verbally harassed into not using words that he's not using offensively, simply because people are being offended.

Or I'm totally misinterpreting everything :)

To be honest JJJ probably elaborated a little better than I did since I was sort of sleepy at the time when I wrote it and probably missed a few things or didn't clarify on (Like on the whole sensitivity thing).

I kinda veer towards the side that is against transgender/gay, due to religious reasons, but I still respect peoples choices, as long as it does no one any harm. I don't see what harm being trans/gay does to other people, so even though I generally dislike their choice and think they could easily have made a better choice, I keep it to myself and act like I normally would and try to use the correct pronouns, though it can be a bit hard to remember sometimes when they haven't gone through the physical surgery thingy. I have made a couple mistakes there, in thinking someone was a tans when they weren't due to the way they dressed/behaved, and vice versa. '>_>

Once they've gone through the surgery thing though, it is quite easy to tell if they were previously a different gender and wished to be referred to as the opposite. Say, a person who was previously a man, but is now a trans woman, they have a bit broader shoulders, a bit less curve, narrower hips, different facial feature arrangement then a person born of that gender, and an overall different build, and most of the time you can tell by their voice. (I saw my first adult trans woman today in class. She looked a bit... odd. I mean no offense to anyone when I say this, but not even a born woman would look good in a dress that short and revealing, much less a trans woman with rough-looking legs like a man, and a slight lack of suffeiciently sized boobs to fill out the top part. Not all woman have to wear dresses, especially not dresses like those.) When I asked my teacher about it, he looked surprised at the fact that I could tell a born woman from a trans woman just by looking at them, and said it must be my artists eye for details. *shrugs* I'm pretty sure that anyone who has any kind of eye for details can see that, and some people obviously do see these and purposefully call them by their born gender instead of chosen gender.

 

Also, I thought that 'tranny' was just a nickname for a transgender person, same as you'd nickname someone who's full name was 'Samantha' and have it shortened to just 'Sam' or 'Sammy'. I don't see the derogatory aspect of that. I know that 'faggot' is what they called the burned corpses of a trans/gay person, and I know that 'nigger' and 'chink' are invented terms to be purposefully derogatory, but how is 'tranny' bad? Please, no long tirades about this - long typed speeches colored by extreme emotion, both negative and positive, make my head hurt - I just want a straight up explanation.

I never knew you were religious, Taco. :P  If I were to take a guess as to why they dislike the term 'tranny', I'd say it's because the word is often seen in a negative light, at least by some people. When you're exposed to a word used with such negative influence, it tends to become derogatory by itself, as history has proven. (Sorry if this is long - I can't make paragraphs...)

In light if the word, it does indeed have a negative connotation. "Tranny" is often in reference to the extreme population that is overly dramatic. I do find the word slightly offensive, but from personal experience, "fag" is much more angering, due to the fact that the history of the word is grossly misconstrued. I have been called "fag" many times, and believe me, it is horrible. I would have no quarrel with others for using the insult in light humor.

Yep, what Delta said.

It may have started out as a relatively benign term, if not particularly welcome -- trans people generally don't like being singled out as being trans. But I suspect there was (and still is) a downwards spiral, wherein trans people didn't like the word, so people who knew and cared about trans people didn't use it, so the only people using the word were people who didn't know or care about trans people, and thus more likely to say ignorant or malicious things, so trans people liked the word even less and made an even bigger deal about people using it, so the only people who used it were those who were especially ignorant and/or hostile, etc., etc.

I am bi, but I don't understand how "tranny" is offensive. That's what they are. Trannys. None of my friends who are Trans get offended by that shit. Plus, I'm not like, "Oh yeah I'm bi so I need to show support lol rainbows faggots trannys LGBT.", you know?

No, I don't call them that, but other people do. They seriously give no fucks.

Yeah, no. It may be true of some people, but I seriously doubt that "not giving a shit" is the majority reaction. Just here on CYS I can think of at least two instances where people were pissed off by racial slurs against their own race.

They shouldn't be so sensitive. It's the internet, people are fucking assholes (not that I agree that things should be that way, but that's how it is).

...if you don't agree that things should be that way, why the fuck are you making arguments like "it's the internet, get over it"?

The internet is not a fucking monolithic entity. This, right here, is a community made out of individual people, making their own decisions. My decision is to tell people their language is inappropriate when it's fucking inappropriate

Words.

8 years ago

Because there's dumbasses on the internet who are not going to change they ways, because, guess what? People are stupid.

How can language be inappropriate? Who decided that words are allowed to be "good" or "bad"? They're just words, and we all can speak them freely.

Words.

8 years ago

People can and do change, though it's seldom a sudden thing. I didn't expect anyone I called out to apologize and stop using the word. But the thread wasn't just about them, either.

Really? All of the four words I listed are just words, and should be used freely by everyone, in any context?

Words.

8 years ago

Why shouldn't they be allowed to be used freely? The only reason we consider them bad is because people (dumbasses) made them bad. They're just words, people made them have a bad meaning.

Words.

8 years ago

Words have meaning. It's what they're for. These particular words have come to have strong negative connotations. Not unlike "bitch," come to think of it, though obviously to a lesser degree. So, yeah, when you called me a bitch, were you trying to communicate something there? A certain degree of contempt, perhaps? Or was that "just a word"?

Nope, just a word. Not my fault that you took it negatively. :)

Words are powerful. Words are fucking amazing, really. Sure, there are words that are "just words" -- but there are also words that carry a hell of a lot of emotional weight. 

So, yeah. Maybe "tranny" doesn't carry as much weight for your trans friends as it does for some people. Or maybe they just shrug it off because they think it's easier, or less risky, than making a fuss over. That doesn't make it "just a word."

As I suspect you realize, since you said you don't use it yourself.

Again, the only reason these words carry emotional weight is because dumbasses made them carry those emotions.

....Words carry emotional weight. That's the literal point of them. That;s the reason we have sooooo many words which mean almost the same thing, since the connotations are different. -________-

Because PEOPLE MADE THEM carry that weight. I agree that some words just carry that weight to carry them, but these "negative" words are because of dumbasses.

Words.

ALL words carry weight, dipshit. That's how language works. Offensive words were made to be offensive. That was their purpose. Nigger was never a nice word. Tranny was never a nice word. Chink was never a nice word. Kike was never a nice word.  You shouldn't use them since they are words that are intended to offend the recipient. This is basic education. 

Words.

But most people aren't even offended by them anymore. I get called a faggot all the time for being bi, do I care? No, I laugh, because those dumbasses are fucking stupid. Honestly, I've never seen a kid get called a nigger or a chink at my school, because those are pretty outdated.

Words.

A) I honestly doubt you're Bi. You seem to be far too homophobic for that, ha ha. 

B) People obviously are offended by it, based on the fact that it is still considered an offensive word. Magically claiming it isn't doesnt make it so. :P

A) Homophobic? I've never called anyone a faggot unless I was joking. In fact, my whole group of friends are either gay, asexual, bi, lesbian, pansexual, or straight. I don't discriminate against sexuality, only problem I have with it is when people run around bragging about it. Like, congrats, you like dick, want a cookie?

B) So, when you see gay people getting shipped off and people searching for "the cure for gayness," no one has the right to be offended? They should just 'suck it up'? That's idiotic. People should get offended when someone behaves like an asshole, and then disapprove of such behavior.

Slasher's been warned, both by JJJ and Sethaniel, for his actions on this thread. If Slasher gets banned, as a result of something he has already done, then yes, anyone who committed a similar offense prior to the warning should be banned. But, if he does something new that results in 3J or Seth banning him, and Penguin does not, then Slasher alone should be punished.

alright guys, at first, I thoght this was some funny shit, but then I realizesd that it was actually a pretty shitty situation. you guys are mostly idiots. Not 3J obviously, but, there's shit to be said about a lot of you. I may not have noticed this shit for a long time because I was part of the massive shitwave that's washed over this site, but now I see it loud and clear. Christ dammit, the site has been flooded with idiots who don't know what the fuck.

its nice to see the admins busting out the banhammer threats and kicking ass, because the site needs it. because now there are people being assholes on the sit e that suck at being assholesss in a good way. Slasher and iggih you are a fucking stupid. and I mean that in the most constructive way but you have to face this shit, in order to become a better person, in order to become a man. now i don't know much about slasher that i know about iggih so ill start off with iggih.

?iggih you are not funny. you seem to be under the impression that obscenity without wit equalls humor but it doesn't you throw around cliche insults like you fucking invented them and I won't understand for that. if this were 4chan or some shit i would forgive your shittiness but this is not 4chan or some other internet Mos-Eisley-shithole. This is a writing site where class, insight and orginality are key.

and Slasher you are one gay shit. and I don't mean gay in the good way, where you're happy, or in the controversey way, where you are an asso pirata, i mean gay where it means you're a stupid fuck. because you always make the same marysue over and over again for forum rps, and you called someone a cunt according to sethaniel. you don't say cunt, man, that's a shit word for shit people. you didn't even try to be creative with it what the hell. 

I mean, think of it this way, let's say, fetuses are unacceptable to society. if you are jason and you strangle children to death with a fetus rope you will at least be banned with a few lulz afterward, but if you just chuck the fetus at people because you're angry, then you're just an angry retard with a fetus. and thats what I'm Seeing Slasher. Deep down all I'm seeing in you is an angry retard with a fetus.

Are you really an angry retard with a fetus Slasher. Are you.

also CreatorX you're stupid. You have no understanding of the art of punning, and it really pissed me off back in those days because I was really trying and i only lost that one time because i was legitimately out of puns while you were just embolding words the whole time. Fuck you autocorrect, the words i'm making up are grammatical, stop redlining me.

And there's also a bunch of other new members that secretly piss me off but they have redeeming moments but not enough you three.

also Morgan_R is really annoying. MorganR ive never met a more annoying-ass SJW than you. And yeah I said SJW because that's what it is. Call me a judgemental fuckbucket all you want Because I know you hate when people call people that but there's a difference between calling out some shitbleeder who grates on your nerves while calling for Social Justice and just labelling all the fucks you don't agree with. and I wish I didn't agree with you because then I could back-argue at you and yell profanities and get my anger out for you being annoying when you're angry too and there would be stress relief all around but I don't have anything to disaggree with you with. or maybe I'm just in my Confrontational Mood today.

This is mostly almost everything that's wrong with the site today and its filling the site with stupidity and I don't like it.

To answer one of your earlier questions, I don't know why I was included in Sentinels rant. As I was reading down his post, my eye caught my username before I got to the part where I was included. I thought it would be another retaliation from me advocating the slaughter of Transexuals, but it appears he still has pint-up aggression towards me from a pun thread I defeated him in a while back.

They didn't do it years ago when I had my braces done, because it didn't look like they'd cause problems, but ever since I got them off and my teeth were allowed to move freely, the retainers and shit didn't send the memo to my wisdom teeth, so he had to hack them out, probably with an axe or something, because the brillo pads they stuffed in the back of my mouth were neon-red by the time I spat them out to get new ones.

I got all 4 of mine removed.

It was great, I only got local numbing, and they had to spend well over an hour on a single tooth because it was only partially through (so they literally had to dig into my gums and pick it out piece by piece).

My face was REALLY sore after, and my jaw has been permanently aligned a different way since. Though that's more likely because with the teeth gone my jaw just rests in a different way.

Fuck wisdom teeth.

Oof. I got mine all removed, but I was put under a general anesthetic, and was knocked unconcious. It was really cool, ha ha, the dentist just stabbed a needle into my forearm, and everything slowly got fuzzier and fuzzier. 

Then I woke up on a sofa, and my parents drove me home. It hurt like a bitch but after a while it was gone.

Really sucks about your jaw though. Hopefully it's not that the guy messed up your jaw, that would suck, ha ha.

I was unconscious for mine. The lowers were impacted & they had to remove part of the jawbone to get them out.

i remember it not hurting nearly as much as everyone said it would. 

My bite definitely doesn't align properly any more. But I've had a lot of fillings, also.

The jaw part isn't a big deal. I think it's been part of the reason my top front teeth have been degrading quicker (because they now rest in front of my bottom front teeth, rather than on top) , but that could just be from coffee, haha. It just took a little while to get used to is all.

I still have mine and, even though I have small features, my teeth are straight.

I did have to have one of my lower molars pulled and it was exactly like your experience because the roots were splayed and jutting at odd angles.  The Novocaine wore off halfway through the procedure and the dentist didn't understand that my grunts and gags were actually words.  He just kept digging.  My gums were swollen for over a week and it felt like my jaw had been broken.

What doesn't kill you ... I guess...

The dentist gave me about 4 injections of the numbing agent because I kept complaining about pain, before I realized what I was feeling wasn't pain, but pressure, and no amount of drugs stopped that.

At least my teeth being pulled was necessary.

When I was younger I had a dentist that worked on one of my teeth for like, 45 minutes before deciding fuck it and pulling it out.

And so started my dislike of dentists.

About thirty years ago, I had to have half a dozen fillings.  All that burning from the grinder and drill put me on the straight and narrow.  When one of the fillings came out last winter and the tooth couldn't be saved, I doubled my efforts.  Of course, I have coffee stains and pits from acidic fruits and juices (in reference to your above post since this thread is taking forever to load).

A friend of mine had one of the worst experiences that I've ever heard.  Back in the sixties he had to have an impacted tooth removed.  He was living in BC, Canada at the time.  The dentist had left his instruments with the local doctor when he left town.  He says they were rusty and looked like medieval torture devices.  The doc had to hold him down by throwing a leg over his midsection, and worked on him for several hours, all the while cussing and throwing things.  For months (possibly years), shards of tooth and bone would work their way to the surface.  He vowed he would never go through that again, and he just let his teeth rot out on their own.  XD

I can't stand that- the "it's not pain, it's just pressure." Whatever it is, I don't like it and I want you to stop. 

 

I found a dentist that does nitrous, and that helps a lot.  For the major stuff, he gives Ativan, too. I don't remember what happened last time I had a filling, and I actually kind of look forward to cleanings.

I usually wait too long between cleanings so they aren't really something I really enjoy.  It beats losing teeth due to my gums receding, though.

A sexual attraction to children. If you disagree with my sentiment, you're just a wimp, point blank.

They are a burden and a liability, and a danger to children everywhere. I'd rather be proactive about a potential problem than allow a child to be harmed, just because it's not fair for a fucking pedophile.

Okay I'll probably make an enemy here or something but here I go:

I approve of many lifestyles many other people disagree on, but a sexual attraction to children is illegal in itself (not the thought but the actions). If you have a sexual attraction to kids, that should be truly unacceptable. Do I think they should be locked up? Only after a first offense. Supervised Probation would be nice on pedophiles. And I do not see how any form of Pedophilia is socially accepted.

Man, if you kill somebody you're just taking care of business or doing what needs to be done. Simple as that. Just because you kill somebody doesn't necessarily mean you're going to go out and do it again, but the urge to rape is part of your subconscious psyche, and odds are you will do it again. Not saying this doesn't happen with certain murderers, but it's nowhere near as much of a sure thing as it is with rapists. It turns them on, and the moment the motive for a crime becomes sexual gratification, it takes a whole new twist entirely. It completely warps the mind of their victims, not to mention the fact that the longer you get away with it, the higher the odds of the rapist escalating.

The amount of rapes would probably decrease, but there would still be rapists. It's part of their imprinting. Somebody who grew up and become a serial rapist would likely become one no matter what the potential penalty for their crimes were.

Knew a pedophile, he was a nice guy, saved a woman's life from a burning car. 

But he was also abusing kids. Which is disgusting. He ruined kids lives.

It doesn't matter how nice they are, or how many lives they've saved, or whether they've even cured cancer. The bottom line is that they touch kids, and that's a no-no.

Really? You don't say?

They feel a sexual attraction to children. They might not snap today, they might not snap tomorrow, but odds are they'll snap eventually. I think we should be more concerned with protecting the safety of our children than we should be with violating the rights of a pervert.

So instead of say, putting them under watch, segregating them, giving them mental evaluations, you think we should just kill 'em and be done with it? How is that at all rational? Sure some might snap, but some won't. I don't think the law should be working on what may or may not happen.

50% of child molesters aren't attracted to their victims.

How is that rational? Simple. We kill em, and then we don't have a problem on our hands anymore. What you just suggested requires resources to maintain, both financial and in terms of manpower. Pedophiles are a waste of our time and resources, and they don't deserve mercy.

I don't know where you heard that last statistic, but I sure don't trust it. Even if it were true, I don't really see how it's relevant, considering the whole point of what I'm saying is that we should take a proactive approach to these abominations walking around in human skin.

Unless you know the exact number of pedophiles, and were able to compare that to 50% of all cases where the pedophile is caught and identified, and then magically come up with the number of child molestations that go unreported, that statistic doesn't really account for jack.

Segregation is a major violation of ones liberty, especially when ones crime was being born with a shitty sexuality. I'd agree to watching them so long as it was a voluntary thing. Mental evaluations seems rather fine and unintrusive.

I'd rather our governments avoid state sponsored murder. Stick them in a cell and give 'em time to regret their decision and change, or not and let them rot in jail.

"Shitty Sexuality".

I find the above very insghtful. So is liking a kid a sexuality now? So it's a social norm?

I find it hard to believe pedophiles fully like JUST children. Like children still have a gender, and while I'm sure pedophiles prefer a gender (cringing as I type this), they can get a similar experience to a teen (18-19). But just letting them live in the world by themselves is wrong, because just because a person likes his type of sex, putting young kids at risk (multiple even) for the rights of a creep is kinda wrong. Why have a ticking time bomb when you can just disarm it?

"So is liking a kid a sexuality now?"

*Sexual attracted, and yes, it is. Why wouldn't it be?

"So it's a social norm?"

Of course not. I never said it was.

"I find it hard to believe pedophiles fully like JUST children"

If they don't, there're not pedophiles. An attraction to older teens is Ephebophilia.

"But just letting them live in the world by themselves is wrong, because just because a person likes his type of sex, putting young kids at risk (multiple even) for the rights of a creep is kinda wrong. Why have a ticking time bomb when you can just disarm it?"

You can disarm a ticking bomb by giving them help to control their urges, if they have any at all. Sticking them in jail or killing them for doing nothing at all is totally unjustified.

I'd say the fact that it keeps them from potentially molesting children makes it justifiable. You'd probably consider it morally reprehensible, but that's a sentiment I disagree with.

 What would you propose? Child porn to help 'suppress' these urges. Helping control there urges how?

*Sexual attracted, and yes, it is. Why wouldn't it be?

 Then there sexuality is illegal and therefore wrong.

" What would you propose? Child porn to help 'suppress' these urges. Helping control there urges how?"

Well no, because ultimately someone is getting hurt in that situation. If you need to give them anything, fictional stuff is enough. Meditation, someone to talk to, a consistent hobby? There are even websites dedicated for pedophiles that want to resist to urge, so to speak.

"Then there sexuality is illegal and therefore wrong."

It isn't, as I've already explained and illegality does not equal morality.

Kind of interested here.

You keep saying they'll "snap" because they're attracted to kids. Presumably this is because they don't actively have sex with children.

So, do you also think anyone who lacks sexual experiences will inevitably snap and rape someone they're attracted to as well? Or is this some trait you believe to be specific to pedos?

Words.

8 years ago

The person who lacks sexual experiences may snap and rape somebody, but there are plenty of people who go through dry spells and don't come to the conclusion that they should victimize another human being, as the idea in of itself repulses most normal people.

To be sexually attracted to children however, is to also be sexually attracted to the victimization of a child. You can't have sex with a child without victimizing it, while the sexless virgin fantasizes about having mindblowing consensual sex.

And by "snap" I'm not referring to them reaching a point in their life where they get so fed up with the sexual frustration that they just go out and do it, even though that is the case in some circumstances. I'm referring to them reaching a low point in their lives where they;re willing to just throw it all away, so they go out and do what they've always wanted to for all these years.

So you think it's inevitable that all pedos will reach a point in their life where they're willing to throw it all away for sex with a kid?

Some more questions:
1) Rape is usually considered a crime where the motive is power, not sex. Thoughts?
2) How old does someone have to be to be considered a child to you? Technically paedophilia is just for those that haven't reached the age of maturity yet (so around under 11), though socially many people think anything under around 16 - 18 is the same.
3) You've got a pretty strong opinion on this subject. Not to pry, but is there a personal reason?

Words.

8 years ago

Nope, I don't think it's inevitable, I just don't think the risk is worth it.

1) Doesn't matter what the motive is, rape is rape, and those who rape should be put down.

2) A child is one who has not experienced puberty.

3) Yes.

It wasn't a metaphor, it was a literal statement. Pedophiles are predators, and humans are animals.

The difference is that we are predatory in a necessary capacity. If we don't hunt, we don't eat, comprende? A pedophile isn't going to die just because they didn't abuse a child.

To sit there and imply that I tried comparing the two is not only extremely disrespectful, but completely and utterly retarded.
