I'm not sure I understand the target audience.
If I'm on a team, I would want to scrim with my team.
If I'm not on a team, I would pug on #tf2mix.
Are you trying to see if people are interested in playing regularly with the same people but without being on a team with them?

Must have been pretty whacky.
and the walk-backwards-and-shoot-at-ground rocket jumping

I wondered about that too, but conc jumping was definitely the preferred method of travel for TFC:

DrPloxoGay is simply "uncool" in my book.
And what some of us are trying to say is that using "gay" or "faggot" as a synonym for "bad" is uncool.
People don't say "that play is so black" (implying that black is synonymous with bad) in the same way they would say "that play is so gay" (implying that gay is synonymous with bad), so we're just asking for some empathy.
2sy_morphiendObviously my logic is lacking. This coming from the guy who made his own post with his own examples of "arguments" in the thread (great job removing any support those arguers added) and accused every gay person in the thread that said they weren't offended by "faggot" of trivializing the reactions of literally every gay person on the planet.
A reasonable statement: "I am a gay person who is not offended by the word 'faggot'."
A less reasonable statement: "I am a gay person who is not offended by the word 'faggot,' and therefore everyone else should quit whining."
My example refers to the second statement, which does trivialize other people's opinions.
2sy_morphiendQuit +fragging yourself and go cry on your fucking tumblr
I don't even
2sy_morphiendEBFExcellent strawman, care to wager being older than me as your argument as well?2sy_morphiendA lot of people grew up with faggot as a generic insult and never did and still don't associate it with homophobia. I refuse to accept that somehow faggot has a magic ability to offend people when plenty of people were repeatedly called something in school regardless of minority status and have managed to trivialize and get over it.I'm sorry, I didn't realize that the universe consisted only of people from your school.
I concede all my previous statements to your irrefutable logic. We might as well close the thread now.
You are actively refusing to accept that people can be offended by the word faggot even though other people are telling you that they find it offensive.
I was responding to a ridiculous statement with an equally ridiculous statement, because appealing to your sense of logic is obviously a lost cause.
Now I think this thread truly should be locked, because it's descended into idiocy (which admittedly took six more pages than I originally thought it would).
I'm sorry, OP, you tried. :(

MunchEBFYo dawg, I wasn't trivializing anyone. Please don't accuse me of that. I just said that I personally wasn't bothered by it, I never said it was perfectly fine to use these words in every day speech just because I personally don't give a fuck if someone calls me a faggot. If someone asks me to not say faggot around them, I can respect that.I AM part of the demographic that can be called these words, and I don't think it's offensive, so it's okay.Thanks for trivializing the feelings of everyone else who can find these things offensive just because YOU don't think it's a problem.
You were not actually one of the posters I had in mind when I made that statement, but thank you for clarifying your original statement.
tomroadrunnerNo, it's just that this is something I run into all the time. Psych majors, English majors, anything else, when you're in school you think you're the definitive authority, because you've had this whole new world opened to you that a large portion of the world is seemingly ignorant to. Then you get out of school and into the field, and you realize how little you know. Same thing happened to me.
Basically this:

OP, I am so glad you made this thread. This is something that I have thought about before but did not make a thread about because I thought the community would just jump down my throat and tell me to stop whining. I am glad to see that at least some of the community has shown respect and maturity.
Some of the arguments in this thread:
I'm not part of the demographic that would ever be called these words, and I don't think it's offensive, so it's okay.
That is not even in the remotest sense close to how empathy works.

Thanks for trivializing the feelings of everyone else who can find these things offensive just because YOU don't think it's a problem.
I use the words casually, and as long I don't use them to actively insult the demographic in question, it's okay.
But you do use the words to be synonymous with "bad" or "dumb," which is STILL INSULTING to the demographic in question, just like obviously so. Subtle prejudice is still prejudice.
What if instead of calling someone a faggot every time they did something you didn't like, you called them a nigger instead? It's okay as long as they're not a black person? C'mon guys, seriously.
All these [other groups of people] say it all the time, so it's not a problem.
Man, why did people care so much about Jim Crow laws anyway; all these other states had them too, so who cares? /s
Thank you for all the thoughtful posts from people like OP (hanbrolo), ctrlfmuffin, pudding cup, and ehFk.
This basically sums up the entire thread:
ctrlfmuffinThe word doesn't personally offend me, but I don't see how that's even relevant. You don't get to decide how people should react to the things you say.
