Vance is not getting nomination. That's why he was chosen by prez, because he's an unlikable bitch. Eat a dick vance! Another one that is you sick fuck.
Not sure why you are making dick jokes. Sounds like you're trying to shame someone for being gay or something. You should realize that there is nothing wrong with being gay, and that using a gay joke to insult someone isn't cool.
Your inner bigot is showing. I'm not Vance fan, but you trying to shame him by implying he's into gay stuff isn't awesome at all. You're trying to imply that being gay is bad or something to be ashamed of.
It is a figure of speech. Jesus.
So that makes it ok? Because it's common to use being gay as an insult? Think about that for a sec.
So why did ya put in "Another one that is" if you were just using a figure of speech?
Yes. Fuck off.
Yeah, I'm trying to purge similar language from my own vocabulary. Growing up, that was just the language we used. Thinking about now, it really doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, the world would be a better place if a few more people sucked a few more dicks. The last thing I want to do is portray dick-eatery as some sort of degrading act.
"Suck start a shotgun" is my usual replacement. But, while sufficiently vulgar, the implied violence doesn't seem to match the intent here.
"Fellate a futon" is quite apropos, but doesn't have quite the same punch.
"Suck the shit out of Donny's Diaper" is the best I can come up with. I suppose that could theoretically be considered offensive to incontinent-Americans. However, I've shat myself on rare occasions, and I don't think a reasonable person would consider the command to be derogatory of me and my fellow pants-shitters. Certainly not as disrespectful of the shitter as it is to the Corporal Couchfucker. The thought of him eagerly slurping up Don's dirty skivvies adequately portrays the depth of my disgust for Vance.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Here on Lemmy, people talk about inclusion, yet they still throw around gay slurs as an insult. Being gay isn't an insult. At all. For anyone.
Thank you for saying it much better than I did!
Where does it end? Allowing anyone with a claim to offense at any derogatory language that is not directed at them? There will be nothing left to use.
More prescient, the Public will reject us if we do as such, and the fascists will take advantage and take our ground. They already have, it's partly why we LOST.
No one agrees with this bullshit, this is what animates people to vote republican.
I suspect that people who throw around gay jokes as hard as you are doing right now, just may think that being gay IS an insult, but ya'll know that on Lemmy it wouldn't be taken well.
It's the same level as the R-word. People don't take that well these days, and with good reason.
Or ya know, you can just try not to insult people, even if you don't like them. You can just say you don't like them because you don't agree what they stand for. That way you are clear, and the only one who can reasonably be offended is the person you are making the remark about. It's not high school anymore.
Society grows and words and phrases change meaning over time. What was a funny insult when you were in high school, isn't funny anymore. I sincerely hope that you can be wiser with your words and intent in the future. You're not making a good case for yourself with these replies.
Well, let me use the very favorite expression of Lemmy. "If ya let nazis into a bar..."
Are you saying that the sucking of dicks is a degrading act? Are you saying you want fewer dicks sucked? Because that's gonna be a non-starter for me. The best people I know suck dicks, and I really don't appreciate you associating them with that useless fuck.
Nothing left to use? Seriously? We're inventing new words by the minute.
If this issue is what's going to drive you to Republicanism, I'd say you're already there.
Exactly. No rational person is going to be pushed into being a republican because someone told them that implying someone is gay is an insult anymore.
If pointing that out is all it takes to make them want to be a republican, then they are already a republican. lol
that's you reading your own baggage into this, dude. eat a whole bag of dicks
I don't have any baggage about it. I just thinking using gay as a slur is bad form. And I stand by what I said.
