I didn't get "tongue in cheek" from this, but preteen angst.

  You 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?

    Well for one it’s a pretty crass generalization of people who like fps games

      I 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.

        It doesn’t take that long to find a Black individual who has committed a crime. Is that generalization ok?
        • nemo44x 5y ago
          I think the vast majority of black people are not criminals. You’d probably have to look harder than you think to find blacks people that are criminals if you surveyed society in general.

            The vast majority of fps players don’t shout homophobic slurs.

      The fps community has exactly the same stereotype of console cod players.
