HOMOPHOBIA

[isatis]

I just want to say bravo to the OP for pointing this out.

I think we could all make a little effort and replace the words bundle of sticks by something else. Anyway, I see most of the player saying they are mature people, old etc, why using a 12 years old xbox gamer language then?

Yeah man, you are right. Let's call them spriklefliks. THAT WON'T OFFEND ANYONE!


We wouldn't like insults to offend anyone now, would we?

I don't think that replacing the words "bundle of sticks" will do much, it's not the word that's so offensive, more the sentiment behind it.

That's the real problem, the sentiment.

sorry, if I was misunderstood (time to blame my English)
In my head, most of people using bundle of sticks just said that as I would say Idiot or jerk or cuntRumblood censure imbecile etc
I really achieve the same goal if I say '' oh those goddamn pike cunt'' instead of '' those goddamn my old friend piker''

but you are right, words don't really have a meaning, only the thinking behind those got one.

We can't do much about homo hater, but cRPG would be both more mature and creative without all those ''U SO my old friend!!'' in chat...


oh god... I'm so unclear... bah I think the message pass anyway...

Yeah that's what I meant  I agree completely!

this is a really stupid and pointless thread, its called ctrl + shift + m omg no more bundle of sticks words!  u act like someone saying the word bundle of sticks is them literally trying to bash you personally, when u know 100% that its just a word that the childish little kid has come up with to use as an insult because it has more of a punch than calling someone an idiot etc.  thats like saying someone calling another a "cunt", is that literally saying they think they are a womans vagina? is that even an insult? i'd love to be a womans vagina!

Oh. So its not okay to say bundle of sticks because it is being homophobic, but you can be sexist and say cunt all you want? Bitch! Oh wait.....that one is both homophobic AND sexist.

nice thread just saw it , even me in the first post, sorry to dissapoint you but my reference with the ban was to Rage_Gay not all gays in general.

people dont use cunt as a sexist insult outside america.

[B3RS3RK]

people dont use cunt as a sexist insult outside america.

Same goes for bundle of sticks lol.

[Tomas_of_Miles]

Same goes for bundle of sticks lol.

Do you mean bundle of sticks as a homophobic insult? I'm afraid you are mistaken it is still used as a homophobic insult in England.

[IR_Kuoin]

PPl dont say the word "bundle of sticks" to attack gays like you say, its more like a curseword when we die, just like saying "FUcking archer" some say "fucking my old friend-cher"

[Berserkadin]

Well, for me, a my old friend is a sissie, weak sissie who runs away from battle and fights cowardly. You can be heterosexual and a total my old friend, and I'm sure that there are lots of homosexual hardcore men out there that arent even close to being a my old friend. I would never call Rob Halford a my old friend, he's just to hard.

for me, using google translator and my English-French dictionary, cunt was ''chatte'' and chatte is a female cat! I've been fooled!

(click to show/hide)

seriously, cunt for a French is translated by ''con'' which as long ago lost his meaning of vagina and is now commonly use for ''idiot'' sorry for the misunderstood statement, I'll correct.

while it is unfortunate - most people (as has been mentioned) use my old friend and  the like to basically just cuss.  It really has ZERO connection with homosexuals at this point.  9 out of 10 people saying "my old friend" mean no actual harm or bias to homosexuals and if asked if they had problems with homosexuals would say "no". 

again, its unfortunate but i would just say try not to get upset over it by remembering its not ACTUALLY a slander upon the gay community.
