Just a random thought

Can some one please tell me why the term “FAGOT” or “FAG” is used so much in the Incoherent Babbling section when the rules state

No discrimination.
-You may not insult members based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs etc. Racism will NOT be tolerated

From https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=2091 FAQ

I some how don’t thank thy are using the English vernacular for “fagot” meaning

fag†¢ot
†‚ †‚ˈfægÉ™tShow Spelled[fag-uht] Show IPA
noun
1.
a bundle of sticks, twigs, or branches bound together and used as fuel, a fascine, a torch, etc.
2.
a bundle; bunch.
3.
a bundle of pieces of iron or steel to be welded, hammered, or rolled together at high temperature.

But rather the slang form meaning to denigrate a person who practices same sex relationships.
Do rules apply here or is this just a “free for all” for the elders and elites to lord them self’s over the newer members.

Just asking

Because it's IB.

Probably because a lot of people in IB used to go to other forums or chan boards, and I dont associate the term faggot with homosexual, to me its just an insult like calling someone stupid.

same as sneaky. It's similar as how I use 'nigger' I don't call black people 'niggers' I just call them people. but I sometimes call my friends 'nigger' and call them stupid 'niggers' just for fun.

It's a word that we aren't using for homosexual.

In summary: it's a word you pansyass, deal with it :/

Generally this. As an example, I give you Exhibit A:

This thread.

You see, had you had asked this question in IB, you would have already been trolled with various images and other posts that state that the OP (Opening poster, which is basically you) is a fag. Also, while there would be people who would use the term to call you stupid, there would probably be some people who will use the term in a homosexual manner.

Of course, like the guy above me I don't see it as a term for calling questioning a person's sexual preference, but for calling someone ignorant.

In IB, a bundle of rules don't apply, only breaking a few rules results in punishment from the staff, because it's IB.

Also, it's "Faggot," not "fagot."

"Faggot" in I.B means stupid.

Also to me, it also means these tasty treats:

Faggot in IB means stupid, retarded, of little or no intelligence. The rules are little more lenient in IB which is probably where this thread will end up so you better prepare your anus.

You've already gotten your answers from the guys above, and they're all IB regulars too.

I-I'm not an IB regular... right... anyone?!

Do you really want an answer?

Sure, you're not...

You tsundere.

Also, I'm mostly a lurker.

CHATFAG KING RISETTE.

I call cigarettes fags, does it mean gay to United Statesians?

Shut up, faggot.

Try reading the definition I posted. I am referring to the slang insult that people use against other people not what you call your pack of smokes. To assume I am referring to any use of the word fagot shows you ignorance or yours slothfulness in reading the full post and not jumping to conclusions.

Hmmm, well I did read it, but I just chose to ignore it, since it was already answered several times. Would you like me to also mention the fact that IB has slightly more lax rules in some regards, or that most people here don't use it to mean homosexual. Take your pick, because either way I still don't care.

Also, I don't smoke, so they aren't my smokes.

My friends all smoke. Well nearly all do. They buy a pack of 10 or 20 fags at a time.
