is this funny or abusive?

[gaystoryman]

This was posted on a straight board and after looking at the first page I am feeling like this is not a funny site, though it was posted in a section of the forum for humor... so what is your view? is this racist crap or just plain sick humor?

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahah ahaHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

I feel for you. Ok... I'm not necessarily the best person to give an opinion on this. But as a total whore... I find if fucking hillarious!

Ahh don't read too much into it.

If sex is for fags; Paint me a rainbow.

Well I think it's satire. And I find it pretty funny.

Satire in the sense that the entire context of the site is presented as if this actual pro-abstinence group, through the same kind of near-absurdly conservative take on the world, also can't help but refer to homosexuals as fags. It's making fun of abstinence-only campaigns, and part of the fun it's poking is that the fellas who promote the abstinence-only ideas (in the minds of hte people who created the satire here, at least) are the kinds of people that'd think associating sex with bein gay is what'd get through to people and make them abstinent.

Like if I was gonna poke fun at the 700 Club by dressing up as Pat Robertson and saying "Activist judges are all fags!". It's really Pat Robertson I'm pokin fun at there by taking his stance to such an absurd and laughable position, not gay people by using the word fag.

so the site doesn't offend me at all. And the context of it makes me laugh. Alot.

http://www.ironhymen.com/ is pretty damn funny too haha

SEX IS FOR NIGGERS !


Nah... still doesn't sound right.

What's the difference between ****** and FAGGOT?

There is no difference in their usage. The words were created to degrade people because they're different and demoralize them.

Odd, when you hear ****** referred to it's called the N word, yet a faggot is a faggot, and is called so proudly.

I wonder if they called Matthew Shepard a FAG while bashing his skull in and propping his half dead body up on the fence. I wonder if they called the two men they hung a month ago in the middle east for being Gay, FAGS.

Our people are killed and bashed for being gay, while being called FAGS. FAGS have less rights then heterosexuals. "Sex is for FAGS" ha ha ha ha so funny I forgot to laugh :francais:

I don't think substituting niggers with fags, or vice verse, makes it any more acceptable.

Very reminiscent of "That's so Gay"

If I knew the person, or it was a person to person joke, maybe sex is for fags would be funny, but left on the net with open interpretation, it's not cool.

The text he had on their was really funny! But the theme could have been changed to something like "Sex is slimy", or a million other things.

It's satire.
It's parody.

If I drew a cartoon suggesting that the federal government's lame response to Hurricane Katrina was rooted in racism - and that's the point I was going for - and had a GWB charicature there saying something assinine like "Why can't them niggers just swim away?" the use of that term assigned to Bush's words is at the heart of the implication racism played a part in such a poor response to the catastrophe.

Or a parody/satire site with Pat Roberston standing there saying "Fags made God wipe out New Orleans with a hurricane" it'd be to point out what a hateful and foolish person he is to say something so absurd, his use of fag making that hate and foolishness so apparent.

Those sites are satire. Parody of the conservative government - and most specifically an ultra conservative, religious right presidential administration - urging kids to be abstinent by suggesting sexual activity links one to the thing the religious fundamentalists hate the most - homosexuals. And what would a fundie call a homosexual when expressing that disgust and disapproval? "Fag", the authors of that site suggest.

I didn't get offended by Squirt using "******" just now because within the context of his post using the word, there was a rational reason he used it for the point he was trying to make.

Just as "fag" appears on that site - within the context of a point the authors are trying to make through satire and parody.

It's precisely that the authors of that site know people use "fag" in hateful ways that they suggested if some absurdly right wing policy of abstinence-only geared at American teenagers would go so far as to use the word "fag".

"Fag" being in there is part of what made the site so funny. Religious fundamentals rendered so fearful through their hate that they're freaked out about the possibility of doing anything that might make em seem gay and that sex before marriage can do that. .

I still laugh when I think about readin' those sites.

The author's of the site aren't calling gay people fags. They're calling right wing religious fundamentalists people who would try calling people fags in order to scare them in to abstinence. They're calling them the closeminded ones who would see no fault in using that term to promote abstinence.

I wonder what your views on freedom of expression and speech are if the presence of a word itself is all that matters. What about context? Does it not matter at all? If I wrote a book documenting the Matthew Shepard murder and in that book, his two characters are written to call Matthew a "fag" while beating him, am I the author the one doing the namecalling there? Or am I simply relating a story in which two characters do? Or The Matthew Shepard Story... the movie. I'm pretty sure some people used the word "faggot" and "fag" in that one. They filmed scenes where actors playing the Phelps "God Hates Fags" group were holding up signs that said just that. Does that mean those actors were in the wrong? The director? Producers? Studio? No. Because it was an account of events being portrayed within a context that made those words not the words of the moviemakers but essential to the story they were telling.

Should they have cut those parts out of the movie?

I agree with you 100%

And, there's nothing more to say......if ppl don't "get it" it only makes me feel worse about ppl (that's why I only have a few human friends and I LOVE animals) No more to say about it.
