I think you have "guys being guys" confused with "bigots being bigots." Guys are not bigoted by their very nature, and I'd appreciate you not presenting that as the case.

My best friend is gay, and he has no issues when I say stuff like "Thats Gay". So...

LOL! The good ole' 'But, I have a friend who is X, I can't be Y!!' trick.

TL;DR Not everyone is your 'best friend'. So...

It's still something silly to get worked up over. I don't get mad when gays say things like "Breeders" or "Straights" its a silly thing to get worked up over. Thick skin people, thick skin.

You do realize what you're saying is the equivalent of a racist saying 'well, I have a black friend that doesn't mind me saying n*****s, why should YOU get upset?'

I don't mind myself saying it, I'm black, and I use it as a term of endearment.
If its not being used in a blatantly racist way I have no issues with it. My friends use it, my family use it, all as a term of endearment "You're my n***a"
Anyway I feel I have made my point. Carry on

The world does not revolve around you. I may like eating cuploads of shit, but because I do so does not mean that everyone else should be fine doing so as well.

Others may not have a thick skin, especially if it's a community (talking about ARR one, in particular) where there's minors. I dunno.... just think it's very selfish and lazy to expect someone to have thick skin cause someone else can't refrain from using a word, or saying something in a different way.

Thing is, which I don't think many get, that for some it really is as annoying or offensive as using the "N" word. Sure, I don't mind absolute political incorrectness. On the contrary, I enjoy it, among a group of friends, or otherwise trusted people.... but even then I try not to go over the top /shrug.

("Breeders" is too disturbing, unless it's used in a SCI-FI movie or something o___O;;; though that's just my 2¢)

I feel like it's too many "me" and not enough "us" in general with such situations.

Minors shouldn't be playing this game.
