This part really turned me off at first, but I thankfully kept reading to realize how tongue-in-cheek the whole writing was. I feel that the list could have been ordered better, to more easily establish the tone first.
- op00to 4y agoI didn't get "tongue in cheek" from this, but preteen angst.
- nemo44x 4y agoYou totally missed the point. The author wasn't calling anyone a "fagtard". The author was making fun of the kinds of people who call other people "fagtards" while playing mindless online shooters. There's a lot of people like that. What is wrong with using a word in this context?
- oneoff786 4y agoWell for one it’s a pretty crass generalization of people who like fps games

- nemo44x 4y agoI believe anyone who has played FPSs online would agree it doesn't take long to find an individual that fits this profile. I think you're just word policing and hall monitoring someone. I understand decorum and that there's a time and a place for different types/styles of language but I don't think the context of this article violates that at all in this forum.
- oneoff786 4y agoIt doesn’t take that long to find a Black individual who has committed a crime. Is that generalization ok?
- Armisael16 4y agoThe fps community has exactly the same stereotype of console cod players.
