It doesn't matter what the origins of the word is. It's the fact that it is used time and time again in abusive manners in modern times. Like the shouts thrown at queer people being gay bashed in bars, for instance. Or time and time again in high schools. We take offense when the word is used because, whether they intend it or not, it brings back those images. They can not be removed from another. And saying the word only helps popularize its use further.

More importantly, it's also a matter of not having "taken back the word". Lesbians have done it with ****, LGBT community at large has done it with queer, and African Americans have taken their word back (more or less; at the very least, the context has become essential now [c.f. the **** that's going down at UA right now]). F#g, however, has not. It remains a sensitive issue for pretty much any queer person. Case in point, it's at its worse when you go around saying it to people who aren't on the same page as you (like whatshisname's brother [I'm slightly assuming here]). He could very well be gay. You don't know. He might not know. Either way, it reinforces the idea that it's acceptable to say that word, and he might not care to think about who he's saying it to when he does (despite whatever intentions you had by saying it).

And I personally don't tolerate any racism, homophobia, etc etc. Which is why I say things when people do stupid **** here.

If I go anywhere next sat it's probably going to be kami con because littlekuriboh and johnny yong ****ing bosch are going to be there. An anime fan going to meet bosch is like a batman fan going to meet adam west...or a nintendo fan meeting miyamoto.

I'm probably going to ask him to do an impromptu vash the stampede line and have him throw my name in there somewhere so I can cream my pants.

well, I'm not going to salt, so I guess I'm going to Kami.

What is the door fee, how much do you guys expect to spend, and any ideas on what should I be?

Free, maybe a few bucks in the dealer's room or on a tournament if I choose to enter, and be yourself and/or a pokemon trainer.

And if you wanna house with me, lemme knowwww. Or probably more reasonably you house with your brother. If you ever talk to him.

If your coming for B'ham or even huntsville post in let me know if you need housing. I can't let you stay at my house but I can save some $ for a hotel for you for the night of the tourney.

lol, forgot to mention it is, indeed, tonight. Xbox only.

Happy mashing, everyone!
Phenix City Wal-Mart had me on hold for twenty minutes and then told me they weren't having one.

I called the one in Columbus, and they said they had just started. >:[

Just called up my wal mart, no tournament at mine. ><

Unless they recognized my voice and lied out of sheer terror.

I called my Wal-Mart and they said they had a tournament.
I went to it tonight and it turns out they lied.

Best Buy did this to me about the MvC3 full-demo kiosk too.

My only guess is that casual***s are effing ******** and easily confuse the word 'tournament' for 'release'. I'll tell you what though, I'm going to 'tournament' a lot of stress.
