So, Rogan called Rios a faggot. Do you care?

Because I don't. Snowden, Rios and Bookhouse all look stupid to me for their fabricated outrage too.


At some point we need to remember we are fans and bloggers of cage fighting. Shut up, faggots.

Lol did you see his statement when he said to just switch faggot to cocksucker

LOL

Ya I seen that. I'm more interested at this point in the fake outrage and sensationalism from SBnation about it.

Standard shit talking. Dana laughs this off. Joe laughs this off. Gay rights groups menstruate furiously.

Yeah I refuse to be part of this movement that tries to turn faggot into some extreme hateful word. Good for gays that they are becoming more accepted than they have been in the past but I will continue to refer to people that I don't like as fags for the considerable future

Win.

Nope. Rios is classless idiot and I was properly owned by Rogan, The voice, and Sean McCorkle.

What's with the sig G? you'll win something real soon enough.

Who voted naughty?

The Chorkster.

fag

Haha, that's the reason I voted for it. I think it's weird that people are defending an ad hominem attack that's being evoked in response to something that could have been stopped by using proper, logical reasoning with some good name calling. Don't get me wrong, I love some good ol' fashioned name calling, but not by itself. There's a reason ad hominem attacks are logical fallacies. They cause arguments to shift to the attack, and not to the substance, in this case the name of a kick.

Well if the cock fits.....

Amen brother!

You guys seem to be missing the point about why it's unacceptable to use the word faggot in the fashion it was used, too. You make it seem like it's some sort of semantic argument instead of one based on a history of violence and discrimination towards homosexuals. What word do you think gays are called when they're being discriminated against?

And? Unless Rios is an out of the closet homosexual it shouldn't make a difference if the gay community has a problem with a word usually reserved for them is now being broadened to the point that the hate has stopped being accutely aimed at them specifically. If I, a white person, called another white person "nigga" does that mean that every black person around should get wholly offended? It's the inability to stop focussing on the context of certain words that has brought our society to the PC "everyone needs to get along" mentality that it is currently stifled in. Someone criticizes a black quarterback and he's racist, so to intentionally divert from it they call for the resurgence of another the second coming of football christ. Double standards exist all around. The point is if Rogan had initially called him a cocksucker would there be an uproar like this? That is another word that could be and has been used in the derrogatory sense about the gay community, but of course nobody would care because it's not THE word that was used to invoke mainstream discrimination.

I'm with everyone in this thread apart from Chorky. Bloody elbow is cracking down on this kind of response from fans though. Faggate has been messy over there. Snowden, Nate, Bookhouse et all have to walk a fine line between keyboard warrior and real journalism.

I said the exact same things as most of the people in here response to arguments like the ones chorky has made. I was involved in some pretty good discussions over there.

Even though I said nothing to kid nate and didn't really get into any flame wars proper, you guessed it ;

Well put Ludo. I agree with ya in every way. Then again I hate fags and dykes. I hate how gay people act like they are women who don't get to vote, black people from the 40's, or Jews in Nazi Germany. Get over it fairy boys and butch girls. You choose to live the life and act/dress like the opposite sex. You should expect to be made fun of for it. In this case it was another guy who got called a fag. No need for GLAAD to get involved.

You know what Chork, I can't deal with anti-1st amendment and that's what you are being right now. It's the first Amendment, I'm guessing that means it's relatively important. I'm sorry but you should have the right to offend people.

But that's the problem, this country is ran by special interest groups and lawyers and it's fucking pathetic. People were actually protesting Letterman and calling him a pedophile and a rapist because of the joke he made about Palin's daughter. That's who runs this country now.

Oh I hear ya and it makes me sick! It is those groups and people that make this country far worse each day they open their cocksuckers! The day fags are allowed to have rights and kiss in the mall is the day I go on a shooting spree. Hopefully all of my kids are grown by that time.

Jesus Christ BBC how do you really feel?!?!?!?!?!

Lol.
