I prefer to keep my balls nicely shaven...

Or, you know, you could exercise a modicum of self-control and not utilize those features. Just a thought...

Yup! Totally...

So... You’re aware that “yeah” and “no” mean the opposite thing, right?

When you wrote “universally shit movies”, I merely suspected you have horrible taste.

Zoom into the page a bit, and you can easily see all 12.

A progressive (aka liberal aka left-wing) person would never defend the use of an offensive bigoted slur. You’re the one who started in with the snide attitude and the ad hominem attacks, as a poor substitute for your complete lack of a coherent defensible position. I hope your life improves...

You’re right, I don’t know you. The only info I have to go on is the fact that you’re passionately defending the use of an extremely bigoted transphobic word. The only people who would use that term are bigots. My conclusion is logical.

“What the fuck more do you want from me?”

You don’t get to question whether a despicable bigoted term is or isn’t offensive. The very act of getting pseudo-intellectual about it is inherently offensive. You sound like the old conservative pricks who had elaborate treatises on why black people are no longer allowed to be offended by “nigger” anymore.

“Words are just words”. Wow. You know the term “hate speech” exists for a reason right? But thanks a lot for instructing the entire trans community what they should and shouldn’t accept. I’m sure they’ll completely respect your authority on that.

Did it take you all night to sound out words with that many syllables?

Nah, I just feel sorry for them, mostly.

...Says the dude trying desperately to defend bigotry.

Umm, Beth, did you just spell the name of the town in which DuckTales is set as “Duckberg”?? Do you think the entire series took place in a Jewish duck? It’s DuckBURG. You know, like any other city that ends with that syllable. Sheesh, get it together Eldurkan...

“I have no stock in this discussion, [but let me spend 4 paragraphs cis-splaining it to you]...” You can knock off your tone-policing right now.

Yeah, it pretty much does. Kinda like saying “faggot” indicates that you’re a homophobe, and saying “nigger” indicates that you’re a racist.

A) I’ve been here for almost 7 years. While quite common on the more douche-tastic sites like Deadspin and Jalopnik, that sort of bigoted demeaning language is pretty fucking rare here on the geek-oriented Gizmodo, and usually the only thing worth getting mildly offended about is the sound of frothing fandroids…

I attacked exactly nobody. Calling out bigotry and demanding that people abstain from using horribly offensive words is not “attacking” someone. The transphobe up above is not a victim here...
