Ronnie James Dio?? Who is that??You best be trollin'. Actually, I don't care that much, but still, who the hell doesn't know who Dio is?
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
im Alive- Disturbed
if you tell me that isn't awesome, im gonna send you to a REAL asylum
Hey man I agree I just, really could not be bothered forming that argument while posting from school, in class. The thing I usually see is that, by now, when gay is used that way, there usually isn't any conscious link to homosexuality at all. The problem is, gay is still very much coupled to homosexuality, enough that everyone reading or hearing at least briefly considers is, and it sort of, I guess, linguistically enables homophobias continued existence.Oh and something about how using gay to mean bad is offensive etc etc.
(aww strikethrough doesn't work in a post title?)
You're clearly not taking this seriously. Which is fine, it is the internet after all - a person shouldn't really expect to come on to the board he's known for ten years without experiencing some homophobic comments disguised as playground talk.
I'm aware that half of this community nowadays could probably care less, but comments like "Justin Bieber is gay" are detrimental to the integrity of this place. Not to mention offensive to me - personally. I don't really give a sh*t what anyone thinks about gay people in general, and I'm also aware that the author of this thread probably meant no harm, but the problem lies with throwing words like "gay" around negatively. Theres f.uck all wrong with being gay, and I'm sick and tired of having to argue with people to get them to have a bit of tolerance about how other people might feel.
So I guess now I'm not only a grammar nazi, but a political-correctness nazi too.
This post may seem a bit aggressive, but this is around the fifth time I've had to post about homophobia on this forum over the years, and I am very very very tired of it.
And nikfrozty, thank you for apologising. This is the completely unrelated board - you can say whatever the hell you want about Justin Bieber in my opinion, just watch the terms you use, OK?
Stop bashing him. If you think he's gay then just don't listen to him or don't pay attention to him.
I could post a thread about how I think you're gay and what would that solve? Nothing.
Disturbed sucks.
I'm not a Disturbed fan so don't think I'm offended but isn't that a bit hypocritical?
Linkin ParkThis is worse than Bieber. This is, in fact, worse than Miley Cyrus. Oh yes we've got a real problem indeed.
Half? That's like 30% more than most people I meet.Yeah really guys gEEZE. Listen guys I am the ultimate musical authority in the universe and right now I am going to tell you all how it is.
Bands that do not suck:
Meshuggah, Tool, Opeth, Devin Townsend/SYL, Cynic, Dillinger Escape Plan, Noisia, Spor, Pendulum, Excision, Textures, The Faceless, Battles, King Crimson, Periphery(past), B-Complex.
Bands that suck:
Every other band except bands that I forgot about.
And that's just the way it's gotta be.
Amen, brother!
(Although I'm not that much of a music enthusiast, so I don't know what half of those bands are...)
He's never gonna see it, so all I can do is make fun of him (or, more specifically, his incredibly bland music itself, and his fans, not him as a person, if that helps), because, as I said, there's a lot more utility in that than in being silently annoyed. And, he won't be offended, and I don't mind offending fans if they really care that I hate something they so shallowly adore. The same applies to Lady GaGa, Ke$ha, and everything else sillybuns.A bit of that yeah but I severely doubt I worsened anyones day so it's all good. Really though I don't suppose this is quite the place to talk about things we hate, although what The Seer of Shadows said really did bother me. He seems to take issue with the whole idea of negative criticism in any context.
Oh and something about how using gay to mean bad is offensive etc etc.

Doesn't look like it.
What bothers me about this thread is the fact that Justin Bieber is a 16-year old male who genetically looks and sounds younger. Probably the main reason why he is popular is that he is just so adorable. What kind of base is that for negative criticism? What's he going to do, try and grow older faster? It's like someone declaring you gay because you have a major acne problem. Why insult Justin for what he naturally is? He still has the right to spend his life doing what he wants to do. Stop exploiting free speech and just leave him alone
"Negative criticism is fine, destructive criticism is not" is basically what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, so do I. So uncorroborated and baseless. I mean, this...Well all humans in the world should know that the name "Justin Bieber" is another term for gay, lesbian or homosexual.
Kids, don't take anything from anyone who honestly believes that Zack is superior to Sephiroth...
Just don't
But on a more relevant note, why do celebrities always get such snobbish treatment with or without merit? Why do humans always have to promote someone to idol status, then bring down that same person? Is it an inferiority complex? Or is it merely the need to insult someone who everyone knows so that you can have your own destructive in-group of people who agree with you?
Not to troll, but the concept of fame bothers me in that it always seems to come at the price of getting this kind of reception from some people.
Dont be so mean, she has feelings you know :(Meh, she's an offense to all humans who really have feelings. Awesome humans like me (there is no damned turned up nose face :() (also goddamn brackets ending in a emote.)
Coward.It's not sweet Jaitsu...IT'S EPIC! I love pointing and laughing at pirating newbs. For starters, if you pirate ANYTHING! You NEVER talk about it, if you do, you NEVER mention where you got it from. Just basically... if you pirate something, don't talk about it, don't brag about it, don't ever mention it...just pretend like you bought the game and copied it to ISO'sIt really sucks to buy a game when other people just download it overnight then they have the game.
though its so sweet when it backfires on them
