Please don't take this the wrong way, because I absolutely do not intend to be unwelcoming, but your username does concern me. I understand that 'faggot' might be a culturally significant term for some individuals, but the issue I have with it is that it is not a positive or progessive term. It's a disparaging and offensive term used to refer to a homosexual man. My two best friends are gay, and I know they would never use this term to define themselves, because as I said, it has a rather degrading connotation to it. So, if you wouldn't mind explaining why you feel it is appropriate, it would certainly help put me at ease as right now I'm very wary about someone using this particular screenname.
Thanks.
i was playing warcraft 3 and had this minimised im sorry i could not answer in a more timely manner
i understand the sentiments of the gay community but it wasnt originally meant as an offensive term toward gay people and we as the people can all turn words such as this around by denying the power of the word being offensive.
plus i am not refering to anyone as it, it just is a symbol against oppresion a metaphor for the struggles we must all engage in
also when i was a kid i had made up this character named toggaf pronounced (Toh-gauf) and he progressed as i progressed almost as if he is in an alternate dimmension sometimes i carry out metal conversations with toggaf who has even helped me prevent dangerous decisions such as thinking of knifing my throat and doing the world a favor (that was back during my emo days lol) because toggaf and his influence on me i kind of feel he is part of me hence why i refer to myself as faggot online
sorry for lack of puncuation, spelling etc. but im trying to explain this quickly as i never had to really to my other online communities they just accepted me and the only odd thing about me ( which isnt even that odd)
edit again: sorry i must also note that the presence of the exact spelling was because i was called faggot when i was a kid during school so while i previously viewed him as togaf i learned of the word faggot and two gs just made so much more since as two seperations of though connected by the same mind
also i apologise for my explanation im not to bright and i sincerly wish i could explain it in more details with more facts
