K Now I'm Upset

Started playing FFXI again. 'Cause it's fun. I like FFXI.

The linkshell (guild-type thing) that I'm in has a lot of people who use the word gay as an insult.

I asked on our forums nicely and reasonably for people to stop.

Responses are fucking terrible. Ugh. Just tried to do something good, something easy, simple, and good. A small change. People fucking suck, though.

First bad response I got was "You shouldn't have posted this here."

Isn't the right to be a comfortable something to be discussed with everyone? Shouldn't everyone know there is nothing wrong with being gay? Or at least isn't the issue of respect something that should be discussed with everybody?

Jesus lord. This makes me so upset.

Another response I got that was more on the UGH I HATE PEOPLE side was, "I don't really care because I've known gay people who call stuff "hetero" as an insult."

I'd have the same damn problem with them, too. Fuck. This is so annoying to me.

The last response I got, right now, is "Gay is a derogatory term for homosexual people, so it doesn't matter that I use it in a derogatory way."

Since when is gay a derogatory term? Shit, I wasn't aware. If it is, someone let me know, please? Holy fuck.

All I've got to say is I'm fucking pissed. I was being so nice. So reasonable. Just wanted a small change.

Oh well, this is why I'm an ally. Fuck stupid people who can't think of others.

Here's the thread  here if you want to check it out yourself.
