I just didn't have a problem with it, I was de-sensitized to it by the time that happened. It was as if it was normal.
Sorry I sometimes don't explain myself very well.
What don't you like about the poster above you?

Oh, I must have misunderstood. Sorry!
But back on topic:
The people at your school may have been ok with the word "fag", but in most places it is still being used as a hate word. I know it sounds like an exaggeration, but in many ways it is similar to "nigger" when used as an insult.
And even though the community is probably not actively hating on gays I certainly haven't ever heard "furfag" used as a compliment... so what can it be besides an insult?

Nigger is a bit different. Unlike the masses, it was never "our" word so to take it back doesn't actually mean anything.
Actually recently there was recently something in my town called a "Slut Walk" where women walked down the street dressed like skanks wanted to bring to the attention how slut was a bad word and they wanted to "take it back" there's nothing to take back and it's a bad word for a reason. They want to make it a word that empowers women but honestly WTF???
Anyway, I understand your point and maybe it's just where I grew up that those words fag and gay don't mean as much anymore...sorry for the misconception and if I offended you I apologize.

EDIT: Sorry, this isn't on topic at all, is it? Maybe I should just shelf this for now so we can all go back to teasing each other as the OP intended!
Sorry for derailing the thread!
Maybe I'll make a post about it specifically later!

You sometimes get very emotional about weird things. Like someone will bring up something controversial or intricate and your first reaction will be "people like that are fucking retards." Tone it down

I think your nihilistic attitude is a little annoying. I mean, just your general view that humanity is awful really doesn't sit well with me.

ps. yes meowth i dislike you as a human being because your internet avatar is not suitable to my high standard of internet avatars. this quickly done photoshop job of a cartoon humanoid cat that you have selected to represent you on an internet webcomic forum is actually a significant chunk of who you are as a person and when i criticize it, i am not only criticizing you, i instantly harbor negative feelings towards you and dislike you, rendering any past relationship we may have held invalid.

EDIT: Guh, I thought you were someone else. It's three-thirty in the morning and I misread your username.
Okay, for real this time, if only because I've already mead a post.
Honestly, I dunno you so well. I initially thought you were a troll, but honestly, I was just being judgmental. I know jack shit about you.

I don't like that he can't tell whether or not I'm being serious, even when it's blatantly clear.

Haters gonna hate
Just my impression of the general consensus of 'I have nothing bad to say about you' and 'this seems like a Recess game'. At the time, anyway. Whatever, the thread's alright now
What don't I like about Smash Genesis? I don't like that we haven't hung out enough.

Yeah, but the point of the thread if you don't have anything to say is to just not participate. Like for example I don't really have any issues AT ALL with Marshmallow, so I'm not really gonna post unless there's something genuine to say or if there's an earlier post that can be added to without the need to have to say something about the poster above. I don't see what's so challenging about avoiding commenting on topics if a good enough answer isn't there.

You're thinking of my misanthropic attitude. Nihilism means that I think that there is no objective meaning to life, but either way, message received.

It's not like I'm an activist or anything. Just one of several personal beliefs I typically keep to myself.
Chris: I think you are too hard on yourself sometimes, or you let people get to you. That's about it.

Well, I suppose another reason people might post here is to see what others dislike about them... For the self-conscious and whatnot.
Regardless, I shall contribute
Has a Lucy avy looking rather uncharacteristic (as in nice--/shot).
... What? I'm not good at seeing the bad in people. ;__;

Like more of a Kenmore or a LG? I was just curious about my washing machine attributes.
And you think you're being witty and funny, but in reality you're only being really unfunny and you need to know the difference between the two.

Oh dat seething passive aggression, Purinchan. Never change <3
Kaxbe you used to self-deprecate to a terrible degree, but you've improved. And by self-deprecation I mean saying things like "oh I'm just the creepy stalker that follows you on the Internet", like there's a difference between cute self-deprecation and unintentionally coming off as creepy and awkward, even though the intention is to poke fun at yourself. You're more than just a dopey creep on the Internet! And you've improved luckily, but it's just something to keep in mind.
I couldn't come up with anything more :-[

Oh, thanks Taeshi. You made me remember the one thing that bugs me about Purin. Passive-aggressiveness. It's the most annoying form of aggression.
And as for you, Taeshi, the only other thing about you that I dislike would be how you tend to shoot down your own looks from time to time. Now, I know that I do it myself, but it's weird seeing it from someone like you, honestly.
And Amzil, she's a webcomic author. It's what she's supposed to do. And most of it is on your side anyways.

I actually dislike how you condone the use of the word "furfag". It is derogatory not just to homosexuals but also to people who have a fur fetish.
As what lvl50fighter said, the word fag doesn't carry the same meaning as it did a few years ago. On a considerable level of irony, I know it's used primarily by furries to describe other furries who are zealous of their fetish.
@Taeshi
It's really hard to think of something that annoys me about you, everything gets muddled in the fun we have on the skype and IRC. The only thing that I can think of is that you seem to worry a bit on instinct, even on really small things, but you mean good.

@Lackluster, I dislike how you have undermined my efforts to fix the thread-derailment I caused. To re-rail the thread I did what may be the hardest thing for an internet forumite to do: walk away from an argument I am passionate about. 
Lets not waste another page on off-topic arguments, shall we?
@Kaxbe, the thread may be about confronting people but I don't think we should feel compelled to cite examples for every criticism we give. That would change this atmosphere of good-natured teasing sprinkled with refreshing honesty into one of grudge-holding.
(Plus its not like Purin asked for evidence when you accused him/her of being wishy-washy in the first place...)

How was any of it off topic and derailing the thread? This is the social studies, you're -meant- to discuss this kind of stuff as per the OP.
It's not the recess version of the thread where you post a single message trying to be funny and then leave it for a bit.
