While all jokes target someone, RadishI, it's not quite the same if the terminology used is considered to be offensive to a specific group of people (gay men in this case). I think most of us can agree that that's over the line.

Bomber called people "cumspits" and "wanks" yes, but those terms don't target specific groups of people in the same way that "faggots" does. They're not really offensive to specific people in general and do not degrade a group like "faggots" does by comparing others to members of that group and suggesting that doing so is a bad thing.

Lol so your saying targeting groups of people is wrong aside from targeting specific individuals ? By that logic it's ok to make fun of someone not unless you are targeting the mob.

No he's saying it's more offensive to call a person a faggot than a wank.

If faggot has a real meaning me and Eiolin don't know what it is.

^
The word faggot (and its derivative, fag) is a highly offensive term used to refer to a gay man in its literal meaning.

Also yes, what zlakerboy said RadishI.

It's a very powerful anti-homosexual curse word

A faggot is just used to refer to a gay person.
A wank and a cumspit is used to refer to someone terrible, awful and repulsive.

The word "faggot" maligns an entire community of people. "Cumspit" and "wank" only refer to one individual (in most cases).

Gay people gets offended when they see their group is getting used as an offensive word.

Have you completely lost your marbles? Faggot is still an insult; wank and cumspit aren't even real insults.
all you're really accomplishing at this point is making yourself look bad by continuing.

The fact that it refers to more people is irrelevant. An insult is a still an insult. Many people make jokes / insults and just because it's referring to a community that everyone is babying now adays, doesn't make it worse than other insults. It just means he's talking about that community everyone tends to protect and defend nowadays.

Calling someone repulsive, terrible and disgusting Is I believe either equal as calling someone a faggot or even worse.
And don't take it from just one example, there's more insults tht are thrown around on these forums.

Arnt even real insults? How did you come to that conclusion.

It's more offensive to offend a whole group of people than a single person.

Well, no use wasting words.

The fact that he jokingly said " hello faggots " shouldn't really be permanent ban worthy, if that's what you guys are hating him about.

No, it is a derogatory term. Do you just go around calling homosexual people that?

Bomber should be banned for calling two people a wank and a cumspit.

He insulted them.

But the thing is that nobody told him to stop.
Unless in PMs.
