Reptiles alt as awesomeglasses xbox .com posted some sweet pics and they showed part of jaxs second fatality in the new comercial, ya you missed plentywink


Thanks man! I've seen screen grabs from some vid on storymode, would anyone have a link to the actual vid? That would make my day! I'm trying to get updated, but there's so much stuff to see in a week's time lol

They don't have to know. They simply feel like yelling out something they find bad, and then tends to yell fag, gay or something like that. Because it has been accepted in gaming community, and many other places, that being a fag or gay is indeed a bad thing.

Geeks aren't really that open-minded and they generalize all the time.









See what I did there? ;P


Exactly! I'm not advertising it, its just what people most people throw out as insult. Like its the worst thing in the world to be gay. Most people ignore it, but if you are actually gay it gets to be frustrating. I'm sick of playing online games with everyone on mute all the time. And if I were to be open about it online I'd be harrased and thats not okay

Lol, naw bro I'm agreeing with you. Doesn't QFT mean "quoted for truth"?

And the fact that we should be tolerate of homosexuals playing MK over stoners or any other demographic playing MK is bullshit. The fact that weed smoking is a choice rather than a biological cause doesn't mean we straight up cant talk about it either. Jaded Raven choses to rub his sexuality in everybody's face with his constant jokes about various MK male characters tossing each others salad or whatever else he says and nobody finds fault with that. And does that really pertain to the MK series very much, some moron's sexual fantasies? Hell no, but its tolerated nonetheless.

The people in favor of the weed thread getting closed are trying to get shit twisted by saying we're arguing about the similarities of stoner and gay culture. Thats not the argument. The argument is that both should be met with tolerance, if they bother you don't go into the fuckin thread. Did anybody come in here and say gay people are worthless? Fuck no, they'd be skulled. Thats a deliberate act to cause a conflict and derail a thread. But for some reason thats ok in other topics.


This post is so right. So so so right.

Just wanted to say that.

Oh, and by the way i think the trhead should be moved to General discussion.

Okay, I think everyone needs to drop the fucking weed thread closing topic and focus on the topic on this thread. There was a reason why it was closed, there's no need for everyone to continue feeling unfair because it was closed. A mod clearly explained why, get over it.

Which I must direct everyone to at least this video:

Nerd Rage

To show you that pretty much any name that someone finds offensive, they will throw out. They don't even have to know your personal life, as long as the word they throw out there means to be offensive, they will use it. Whether or not it makes them feel tough... Still, they'll use the word, even the "N" word.


The N word? What's that?


I do not wish to personally say it, but it's bad word called against blacks.

No its not a choice. It's about what sexualy exites you, and you can't chose that. It's just something that happens. And believe me, I've heard more than one gay man saying thins like "I wish i wasn't gay".

Oh, as I sayed before, it shouldn't be closed, but moved to general discussion.

Homophobia is literally the fear of homosexuals.

Thus if your scared or uncomfortable around homesexuals, that is the literal definition of homophobia. The answer to that question is NO,

Thats like saying can I be uncomfortable around spiders and NOT be Arachnaphobic?

True that wasnt fair to claim it as strictly a choice. but in some cases it is. I try not to judge people because i dont understand it but hey thats because i see it more on the sex side of things. I dont understand how a man can love a man any more than a man love a woman or vice versa, that part doesnt click for me.

Ahhh, right.
Well, to me, they are just words. It's the way you use them that makes the meaning of the word into something bad or good.

Take this for example:

Fuck.

SO many people see that as a bad word, a curse-word, if you will. And that's because so many people use it like that. However, it can also be used as a good word... Believe me, I've used it as a good word many times. ;)

I'm gay, I'm a fag, I'm a banana-slammer (seriously, I laughed so hard when someone used this word earlier) etc.. And that's just how it is. They are words which can be used in terms of affection and fun. ^^

It's the same with the N-word. Have you guys ever seen the animated series called "The Boondocks"? They say niggah SO many times, sometimes in a bad way, sometimes in a good way, but mostly to express the humour in that series.

I don't believe in taboo and censorship. Everything should be able to be discussed. Of course, porn and such have no place in a forum like this, but people can still discuss it and have fun discussing it. There's a time and place for everything though.

It's a really fine line we're walking on here though. It's really a discussion about cultural differences, respect and acceptance - or the lack of those things as well.

there is a difference between being uncomfortable and beaing fearful or scared lol.........you can feel uncomfortable in a chair....or a disturbing picture.......but you are not necessarily scared of it........i just find that term homophobe used just as much as straights use GAY as derogatory.....not necessarily everyone is a homophobe lol

Next time you think. Let it go.

A lot of people dont like being around spiders. that doesnt mean they have arachnophobia. I dont see a spider and start to sweat and run away. I just rather not be rubbing with it. or letting it crawl on me. Same goes for straight guys that dont like being in close proximity with gay men. There is some grey area there. Unless you the expert would like to further clarify it for me.

I went overboard with my really unnecessary and idiotic post in the whole stoner thread... As said, I got a really bad past with that shit and thus I'm against it so much that my rage is triggered even at those who casually smoke weed.

Its all good man, live is just a journey.
... The number of gay people using homophobe is no where near as many straight people using faggot. Not EVEN close. Furthermore gay people say homophobic in usually reasonable context, whereas straight people toss fagot around very casually.
As far as homophobia, fear is part of the discomfort, and as homophobia is literally the fear of homosexuals, then you cant be one without the other. Its not a matter of my opinion, its a matter of literal definiton of the word. Why did you ask me that question if you already had the answer decided for yourself?
Furthermore, whats scary about gay people? I have never got this, I dont feel the gay community is intimidating in the least.
