Use of "offensive" language on the forum

[Owltoid]

You're right that people are always going to be offended, that is inevitable--but screw is a euphemism for fuck, which is not the same as rape. It does not trigger the same emotional response in a victim of sexual violence that the word rape does. You can't eliminate every word, but you can try your damnedest to not use certain ones if they hurt people.

So "screw kids" = "fuck kids" and you still don't see the irony? Ok.

That's really all you have to say? Why is it so hard for you to agree that we are better off not using the word in question?

and great job taking what I said out of context, let me clarify.

screw kids=fuck any person who uses the word rape knowing it brings up horrible memories for certain people, and u call them kids because an adult would know better.

so in that context, screw kids.


and earlier when I offended your creationist views? Good. You're an idiot if you think the earth was made 10,000 years ago. Ill offend that all day long since you have the gall to say saying rape is okay in a video game.

This is fantastic - you really don't get it... you're defending your term because I took it out of context, yet attacking the slang of gamers in which you're taking their terms out of context. Unless you think after a guy killed an internet warlock he really did rape him.

Plenty of adults, such as myself, disagree with you. So your generalization that an adult would know better is wrong.

I'm not a creationist - I was trying to prove a point. But all is lost on you, anyway.
