Have them say "that's so faggy" instead.

nigger

That's so gay

>>8533739
>That's so yesterday

>bogus

what kind of faggot says bogus these days?

>>8533739
Why does it matter? Kids don't even care anymore. If they still use gay in that way, it's not like it's malicious. Intent should be how we worry about words, not the actual words themselves.

They literally say it because it offends people and due to it's offensive nature it can be used as a catchall insult when middle schoolers, etc. can't come up with anything situationally clever to say while also bearing fewer consequences than getting caught swearing.

Why do you care? "Gay" always did and always will mean "lame". It has nothing to do with the gay community, that's just the way it is.

desu the more triggered you are by it, the more people are going to do it. it does sound stupid though, and its a good indicator of underage shits.

that's cultural marxism!

>>8533739
Do people still say that? I haven't heard it in years offline. Maybe because I'm not in middle school anymore?

Yeah, I legitimately believe the best way to reduce the pain the N word causes is to proliferate it to the point it loses it's negative connotation, so that's really not a great argument.

yea, we be bullyin

Its hard not to. People generally use it because it's

A)Not them nor anyone they know
B) Gays are looked down upon. Yes people see being gay as lame and shamefull.

Its kind of hard not to see gay as 'lame or weak" when most gay men are feminine to a degree.

There is also a reason why people don't use the term nigger as much in comparison. Its not because it isn't socially acceptable. Its usually out of fear.

Yes society fear blacks because they are spontaneous, loud and violent. No one really cares if they call anyone gay because no one's afraid of gay men. Your seen as weak at best. What are you gonna do run and tell security ? Pull their hair ?

Hey, isn't this also why it's fine to make fun of Jesus but not Mohammed in the msm?

The last time I heard anyone use gay as an insult was middle school in 2007 (i'm 21 don't ban me niggas)

i've never heard anyone adult aged call something gay instead of stupid

>>8533739
Kids are still using gay as a derogatory thing? Cool lol. Being gay was a very bad thing when I was growing up.

>>8534929
I've always viewed gays as lesser men. Thats real hypocritical coming from me because i'm a non transitioned transbian/AGP.

don't police what people say you fucking authoritarian faggot. Dilute the meaning and impact by overusing it.

That's imo one of the great things about 4chan, being called a faggot isn't worth anything anymore.

>>8533756
As someone who teaches at a delaware school, stop lying

that's so cucked

>>8536140
Don't fucking push it! We already seem to be approaching the replacement of "faggot!" with "cuck!". You shouldn't even think of stretching that to a clunkier conjugation.

>>8536124
Ehh there's a big difference between being called a faggot on 4chan and being called one in other communities/in real life

huh, I bet if 4chan started today we'd call call each other trannies instead of faggots since trannies are the hated group du jour

>>8536167

>>8536167
yeah probably, but isn't it the same with calling something gay irl? I use it all the time and some of my gay friends as well... Doesn't bother anyone and I like it that way.

As some anon already pointed out: Context fucking matters

>>8533739
shut the fuck up faggot

>>8536163

At least on 4chan, "-cuck" has already almost completely replaced "gay" or "-fag" as the derogatory suffix of choice.

wagecuck
normalcuck
newcuck
oldcuck
libcuck
cuckservative
samecuck
straightcuck
gaycuck
moralcuck
eurocuck
americuck

And so on.

>>8537690
stop being a fagcuck

>What word can we teach them to replace it?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

>>8537726
They're right though. Black people have very successfully accomplished that by treating "nigga" as a term of endearment. Anime lovers have done the same thing with "weeb."

>>8533739

>screeching intensifies

>>8537690
This is true. I think it's because homosexuality is so accepted these days that "faggot" doesn't have the oomph it used to. Although these people are truly new to not be aware that we didn't initially use "fag" hurtfully. It shows how 4chan has changed that people replaced fag with cuck because they wanted a more hurtful word.

>>8537768

And yet it also shows how much 4chan hasn't changed. Note how both "fag" and "cuck" are core attacks on one's masculinity.

"Cuck" just happens to be more socially acceptable an insult than "fag" nowadays.

femininity & weakness being seen as poison for a man is one thing the feminists are right about desu

Have the memes gone too far?

>>8537829

Agreed. That's not even a matter of feminist opinion, really; it's a matter of fact that a male who is perceived as weak or feminine has reduced social capital.

and a woman who is perceived as strong or masculine has increased social capital

>>8537897

To an extent.

Maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive. No gay person I ever met has taken offense to it. I haven't watched South Park in years but they had an episode about the term fag that summed it up pretty well. It's not a personal attack. The faggot they are calling someone isn't your average gay person, it's a caricature of a gay person. Their idea of what's gay.

It's the same case with the use of bitch and bastard. We aren't saying they are a female dog or don't have a father(unless they're black hehe).

Oversensitive fucks that can't handle a specialized insult ruin words and distract people from actual social issues. It isn't a problem that's going to go away. It's like complaining that fights happen. Yeah, it's shitty and people shouldn't do it but eventually two people will disagree to the point of violence regardless of how nice you try to make them.

This issue is a literal case of "Old Man Yells at Cloud for Bad Weather."

>>8538083
yeah, that's why it's okay to say nigger.
it is just a caricature of a black person.

oversensitive fucks that can hanle a specialized insult ruin words and distract people from actual social issues.
stupid niggers.

>>8538125
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or on my side.

Either way, yeah. It's still not socially acceptable in almost any official establishment to say offensive slurs but words are words, man. I hate to use the phrase "man up," but it pretty much sums up the idea. Words only hurt if you let them and if you're so sensitive that you fly off the handle at off-color language, maybe you should stop going around that group. Wear headphones or get a job that doesn't tolerate that stuff as much.

Whatever happened to "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me?"

>>8537768
No it's because cuck makes more sense. Faggots are annoying. Cucks are little subby bitches. Cuck just makes more sense as an insult nowadays. It had nothing to do with oomph. Faggot is still used almost as much as cuck.
