Could this word be seen as offensive on the forum?

[Comrade Nasser]

Can I say "stormfag" to refer to neo-Nazis/fascists? I don't want to offend anybody here by using the word "fag". But is it really offensive anymore? I believe through it's over-usage it has truly lost it's meaning. Like when someone says "Oh that's gay" they really mean to say "Oh that's dumb!" or "Oh that's stupid!" Homosexual and Heterosexual opinions needed.

I think these should be considered offensive. We can be creative enough to insult fascists without sounding offensive towards sexual minorities.

Don't fucking use it. It is offensive. I don't wanna be associated with those fucking fash bastards!

That being said, don't use the word fag or transsexual or something that is taken as an offensive word if you don't apply to them. Gay should never be used in a negative context, period. Etc...

Yes, and if you know the history of the word, particularly yes.

I've never heard "transsexual" used in the way that "gay" is used. However, "tranny" is an offensive word.

[Taters]

Yeah, don't use that. Or any derivation thereof. :P

The word "stormfag" is used as an insult against them. I don't use "fag" as an offensive term but "stormfag" is just a term used to refer to neo-nazis over the Internet. When they see it they get very upset. That's why I wanted to ask if I should use it or not cause I don't want to offend any comrades :)

I just meant to explain that words regarding sexual minorities in a negative sense should not be used if the person does not apply to them.

I won't. Good thing I asked lol.

[Poison Frog]

I hadn't heard that before but from just seeing it here I'd say it's impossible to separate "stormfag" from the word "fag". I mean if you wouldnt call someone a fag, then you must already be aware that it's offensive to homosexuals. The right wil hate it because they hate homosexuality, so it's like calling them "stormc**ns" or something. Their language, not ours.

don't use it and don't use the word 'fag' 'gay' etc generally. this is discriminatory language, come on.

closed.
