If you’re constantly runnin’ your neck about “faggots” and “dykes” on Twitter and tossing out the occasional “no homo” or “that’s so gay,” you need to know that you’re being monitored, you filthy, hateful person.
A site called nohomophobes.com is—we’re assuming—run by faggots and dykes who aggregate a constantly refreshing feed of all the homo-bashing Hate Tweets that are being spewed on Twitter at any given moment. They have already logged more than 2.5 million Faggots, nearly a million So Gays, and almost as many No Homos. The Dykes are currently pulling up the rear, with under half a million hits as of this writing.
Here, maybe this will help: Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke, Dyke!!!
The site is bold enough to ask the question that we thought was too ridiculous to ask:
Homophobic language isn’t always meant to be hurtful, but how often do we use it without thinking?
Good question. Come to think of it, the answer is “constantly.” And now we vow to think about it. We’ll still keep saying all these things, but at least we’ll think first. We hope that makes you feel better, and don’t, you know, go jump off a bridge or anything. That’d be sooooooooo gay (no homo).
It’s a little to late for the social media generation to start worrying about Big Sissy watching them, they already freely volunteered their entire lives as bad performance to be viewed. The solution for most people who don’t use twitter as a promotional tool, is not to live your entire life on front street on twitter.
Like Crass said: “If you don’t want to be a number, don’t give them your name”
The biggest problem with something like this is that it doesn’t measure intent of the person using the word. Contrary to what the PC thought police think, intentions DO matter. They matter a fuck of a lot more than whether a person uses certain words on a “no-no” list. So this little net that’s meant to catch gay-haters is actually catching:
1) Gay people who use the terms with each other
2) People who are joking and using the terms ironically
3) People who use these terms and actually have no problem with gay people
Language like that shows a general lack of intelligence. No hetero
Ah, so that’s how you spell “dike.”
Faggot is a great insult. Full stop. I don’t intentionally use it around homosexuals just no need to have to explain myself if they get their knickers in a twist about it. I’m lazy like that. And no, I don’t employ it in a way that conveys the receiver sucks pole, it’s just a word that flows nicely off the tongue, very generic and good insult.
Surely there’s enough hate in this world without adding any more.
Let me break it down for you. ‘Fag’ is just as unacceptable as ‘Nigger’.
Grow the fuck up and think of the next generation of kids – surely you’d want them to feel as comfortable in their own skin as anyone else, regardless of their sexuality?
I’m not your nigger H, I’ll say whatever the fuck I want. Fag.
