PrintAs an on-ice official in the minors, I can tell you at least one person is called that/gm. Def not right, but happens daily
Well it should really fucking stop.
What the shit, Wayne, you're better than that. Homosexuals can be pretty cool, you shouldn't lump them in with a piece of shit like Sean Avery.

Of all the things that an opposing player can taunt Avery with, he chooses the one most likely to get him in trouble if it gets out in the public. Especially considering all the work that Avery has done in NY this past year.
What an idiot. And after all the goodwill he got a few days ago, too.
In fairness, regarding the goodwill he got, he didn’t make a big deal about the banana peel.

Simmonds called Avery gay or someshit like that…Not really a big deal, I’m sure he wasn’t the first person in that game to do it….

I think what he said wasn’t right. But when you see who the target was I assume Avery did something to set Simmonds off. You piss people off all the time you shouldn’t be surprised when they say something you don’t like. I’m not advocating gay bashing, just saying that its not as if Simmonds walked up to him and started doing it.

Not really. I usually avoid those commercials. But seeing as how I’m a member of said disparaged class, while I’m old enough to not be offended on a personal level, I think it’s an ugly thing to say, both in jest and as a taunt.
Simmonds should’ve just punched Sean Avery like a normal person would’ve done, instead of calling him a homophobic slur.

We need to start inventing words that have no connection to any oppressed peoples.
Like “Koolop” or “Fungo”.
Either that, or just start using rather tame words as insults. Like start calling people a “Fucking whacko!” Or “Shut the fuck up you doofus!” or “Suck it butthead!” Those words aren’t likely to offend third parties, but if we start using them as offensive insults they’ll develop their own meaning as something you say to someone you really hate or disrespect.

Curious about your lecturing of the use of “fag” when you have no problem using it:

You're right
One was a reactionary usage of the word against a person who is not a homosexual. The other was a premeditated usage against a person who actually is a homosexual.

Forgive me!
I failed to recognize that “Rudy’s no role model” and “Rudy was funny” were so drastically different than “it’s said all the time”. Whatever you have to say to make yourself feel better about it, by all means.

No. The article from 2 years ago was pointed out to me by a friend at the time. That same friend pointed out this post to me today and, like I did, found it peculiar how one usage of the word “fag” was okay in joke form (against a gay person, no less) but not okay in another. As a gay person who has had that word shouted at me while being maliciously harassed on more than one occasion, this is a relevant subject to me.
I don’t read things on the Internet that denounce the use of the word “fag” only to scour archives to see if that person is a hypocrite. But yes … ‘good work, Ang.’ You’ve done a great community service today.
Stick around! We need more people to argue with Rudy!

You should know there are many ways words can be taken. Intent is everything. Shit if this place started censoring itself over every little thing that might offend someone, everyone might as well shut up.
Why don’t you stick around and you’ll see we aren’t malicious towards anyone. Well okay scratch that, we are against Ducks fans but well, they are Ducks fans. :)

Well, we’ll just have to disagree and I’ll move on. For instance, regardless of intent, surely you’d agree that it would never be okay to post the usage of the n-word even if you’re just joking. To me and many people like me, it’s the same thing. If you disagree, I can live with that… this is the hand I’ve been dealt and it’s just the way the world is. Sorry to have stuck my two cents in so angrily but it’s just something that obviously strikes a nerve with me.
Nah, it’s a more-than-fair gripe. Just stop by on another occasion and pat us on the back for our better posts, too. :)

Everyone has their own rules for this kind of stuff, and it feels good to get on your moral high horse and judge everyone. I understand that. But my personal view is that if it is done for comedic purposes, rather than maliciously, then it’s not an evil thing. If you disagree, that’s fine.

I was taught that anything is okay if it’s funny. I can say that now that Angy’s not here to bitch about shitty parenting.

While I’m inclined to agree, I also think certain words evolve past their prejudicial origins over time.
It’s like that episode of South Park, a lot of people don’t use the term anymore to refer to gay people. It’s more of just another way to call someone annoying or an asshole or something.
That being said, what with the gay rights Sean Avery has been doing, the question is raised on whether there WAS meant to be a connection to the homosexual community in that remark. That I have no problem condemning.
Linguistics and meaning is a fickle mistress.

If someone uses it in a derogatory way, it’s still prejudicial.
That said, unless Sean Avery is gay and therefore a member of that protected class, I don’t see how calling him a “faggot” is any different than calling him a “retard,” a “spic,” or any other prejudicial slur that doesn’t apply to him. Him mouthing off about it is really just him being a whiny bitch (no offense to your dog, Rudy).

If you think that my commenting here today is merely to get on a moral high horse, and not because I have some relevant experience and history with the usage of that word, then please see the comment left above in reply to “Ang”. (4:16 PDT)
One incident consists of a fag being a fag and the other is of a gay guy being a fag.

I believe this is in reference to a South Park episode in which the kids were scolded for calling people “fags.”
by meetyourmako on Sep 27, 2011 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh, I’ve never seen South Park. My parents didn’t allow me to watch it when I lived back home and I never got into it after I moved out.
Not a recommendation, but
They actually do a pretty good job of mixing insightful, high-brow satire in with the basest, foul, immature humor.

I take it back. I have seen an episode. It was the Mormon episode. One of my roommates in college (and a great friend) was a Mormon. One of my other friends thought it was a cult, so he sat me down and made me watch the Mormon episode.
I can say that it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen about the LDS faith. But I’ll never admit that to my ex-roommate.
They had a really similar one about Scientology. They just dipict the Scientologist ideology, flashing the words “SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS” at the bottom of the screen.

Only tangentially related
