Honestly I actually like the word "******", it's fun to say. But I hate it when it's used in the context of insulting gay people purely for being gay. But if you call someone a ****** for.... Being a ******, then that's cool. Most times that I see the word it's being used synonymously with something like "*****".
I literally do not remember the last time I seen anyone in real life call a gay person a ******. This is a coincidence or luck.

This guy knocked on my door, I went outside to talk to him. Two gay guys were walking down the street. He told me "Look at those two gay guys". He just said it in a regular tone meaning, it was just something you never see. My point is, he didn't say "Look at those ***s".

I really never see anyone call gay people ***s much unless they are hell bent on hating gay people XD But I assume most people don't care what anyone does because everyone likes the freedom to do what they want, I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see well, the guy told me, they are holding hands so they are gay.

Thats all that was said, he didn't even say it in a bad way, just said it how you would talk normally.

I say this because tons of people says ****** online.... or ***... *** and gay has kind of switched its meaning in Gaming, I think most people realize that even gay people for the most part realize that when someone dies and says "Thats so gay" they don't mean "That was homosexual"...

Lol, that wouldn't even make sense, how would it make sense if I died by thor ulting me and I said, that was homosexual..? Gay in gaming kind of means like stupid/******ed/WTF...

I think ****** in gaming means more along the lines of what you said, *****, runner, camper, ect, cheater, ect.


But isn't it funny I would see 2 gay people in real life after talking about it? You see this is what I mean by coincidences, I NEVER and mean NEVER see gay people around where I live, I live like on the outside part of the projects meaning its combined with the streets of regular buildings , streets ,ect.

I have to ask myself, why out of all these years have I not seen anyone gay walking around in this area, but as soon as I bring up the subject, I see 2 gay people holding hands walking right in front of me...???

To me when things happen like this, its more of a sign to me that I should be thinking a certain way, to me it can't always be luck. It would be like if I started talking about people who don't help someone getting jumped then right as I go outside someone is getting jumped and I am put to the test to see if I would help.

Idk, what are the odds of something that never happens, you talk about it, then it happens???

Actually I just thought of something...

If Hi-Rez makes the Gay Pride Flag thing FREE

Then I will believe they did it not for the money.

Wouldn't that make more sense, if its about supporting equality it should be something free that everyone can show they support, but instead you have to pay for it, I'm sure someone could argue oh well that money is supporting gay rights, really its only supporting Hi-Rez making Smite though...

So, If the Gay Pride Flag cost gems, I assume its for money
If its free, than I will switch back on what I said, and say Hi-Rez did it for support.

You know some of the proceeds are going to support the LGBT community, right?

So yes, it IS for money. For a GOOD reason.

I didn't know gay people are more less fortunate than the kids in Africa!

Ooohh. I'm going to start something! :O

Eh, I don't really care about this. It doesn't mean a lot to me because I'm not going to buy this since I love Denton too much. Maybe I'll buy this if I get free gems weekend, but I won't spend real money only to get this. If it is free, I think it's better.

And I agree that BM might get bigger because of this, well, but that's like real life. But the difference is that why do I need to share to strangers who I only play once with, that I'm gay, I don't want to do that. It might even make me play worse from the BM.

Lol, I seen this video a while back, I forgot about it. This video explain mah life doe....

I say **** like "***" to my friends all the time on the phone.

Like I will call someone then wait for them to say "Hello", I'll change my voice and say something like "Yes ****** this is Pizza Hut with come to server your ***** ***"...

I hang out with some semi-gangsterish black people as well.... none of them care about the word ****** unless your actually being serious with it. We spam it all the time for jokes and laugh our ***es off.

Like lets say I am walking out of Walgreens with a black friend, lets pretend some farmer looking guy in a beat up truck comes by, usually one of my black friends will pretend he is the person in the truck going by and he will say "******s!!!!" just to be funny and pretend he said it to us...

Do any of you guys do this **** or is only mah real life friends that kewl?

That video explains my life though, I call everyone a ****** if they piss me off to where they need beat up or something along those lines. Strait people are ******s too, like if some guy throws a rock at my window, I am going to say "Where is that ******".

Pretend you are talking to an important person, in the background someone keeps screaming BLAH BLAH to cut you off.... then he stops.... once you try to talk he goes back to screaming BLAH BLAH to cut you off.... That is a ****** moment where I am turning around and saying shut up ******.

The reason why I love that video, is because its pretty much true. I always seen everyone as a being capable of being a ******. Its not like ever since I been on earth I was thinking, hummm who should I call a ****** today, instead its more like this.

A week ago I seen my friend at night time going to the store, I hurried up and put my shoes on to go after him and catch up, he was being a *** and was hiding behind a wall in a dark ally, I was not paying attention, when I got close he made a roar and I **** my pants and jumped, I called him a ******...

I guess dats my life story.

Actually, the funny part is, I have never called a gay person a ****** before I think, I have however called mostly everyone else ******s before... kind of ironic if you think about it.

But with that icon be prepared for the target BM.

Luckily for me, if I was gay I wouldn't give a **** because I don't care about words, I could hump animals or aliens and not give a **** if someone called me a alien humper, at the end of the day most people need to realize words really ain't ****.

But I agree some people need their annoying ***es muted and banned for spamming nothing but BM and not helping the team. I do hate BM but hey, as long as the ****er is doing good just win me the match.

I support it. Yes it has nothing to do with smite, but neither do the other icons like the flags and ETC. It's something that, again just like other icons in smite, let you express yourself. It's ESPECIALLY good because they will be giving money to groups in support of LGBT and if people get BM'd for sporting said icon then the people who do the BM'ing can get muted or better off banned.

Smite doesn't need ignorant people in the community if they are gonna spread hate and not work as a TEAM then they deserved to get banned anyway. Too often people forget that Smite and all other MOBA's are a TEAM based game and that requires everyone to work together and respect one another regardless of beliefs...
