No, because posting your sick 'jokes' on public message boards is... wait, no, that
is harrassment.

The joke isn't an obsession, it's the same type of thing as the "omg kthnxdie" stuff. People get in the habit of doing it and it just becomes a common thing.
|
That's an item of vocabulary, a way of saying something that they'd otherwise say anyway. It's not the same thing as an obsession with impregnating everybody.

I think it's rather sexist of you to single out women like they all think what I'm doing is wrong.

At no point did I argue that all women would be offended.

People make jokes with other people all the time, not everyone is going to like the joke, including the person that the joke is about.

Especially if that joke is tasteless and offensive. By your logic, any form of harrassment could be dismissed as 'just a joke'. A line has to be drawn and, by most standards, treating females like baby-making sexual objects crosses that line.

If it was so out of line I wouldn't have posted it.

Ah, because you can never do anything wrong?

I didn't find anything wrong with it, and nobody has said anything about it until Tseng opened his big mouth.

Except for Chris. And, what, everybody else's thoughts and actions are mere mirrors of Tseng's? You know I'm not like that, and neither is Moon Goddess.

You guys have a habit of totally blowing my threads out of proportion, and getting the wrong idea about a post.

Your threads...?
Whether or not I'm properly interpreting your reason for making the crude implications that you do, they're still puerile and tasteless.

Dare I bring up the thread Stefan made in the playerworld forum about the profanity filter he made? I'm sick and tired of having my posts picked apart by you two
|
Wait. In the profanity filter thread, I merely pointed out that the hardcoded filter is superior to anything that could be coded in GScript, and that I didn't understand why you wouldn't use it. I was essentially asking why you'd choose to stay with a scripted version, I wasn't attacking you in any way.
And you say that
I misinterpret posts?

You just storm in and make assumptions and then when I explain myself, you just try to act as if your accusations were noble or something.

Tsch. I remember you 'storming into' a thread accusing me of corruption because I deleted some spam. And then when I explained myself, you just tried to act as if your accusations were noble or something
You still haven't justified your actions here. The number of objections alone should show that the 'joke' isn't likely to be universally well-accepted.

The avatar is winking because it's showing that babies will be available on Oasis. It wasn't my intention to have it mean anything else.

That would be one of the more obscure meanings of a wink, then?

Until the targeted individual points out that they do not like the joke I made towards them, and that it was distasteful, then please shut up.
|
Mmm, no. People shouldn't have to tell you not to make references to sleeping with them. Your amusement does not justify putting them in that position.

Because I don't really see the point in you even mentioning it if it's not offending anyone but yourself

Myself and the four other people that have directly criticised your humor.
Quote:

Please don't act as if you're the voice of justice, and that these people are just too afraid to come forward, or that I'm somehow cyber-molesting these people, or that they are taking offense to it. If they were, they would say something.
|
If they were too afraid to come forward, they would say something? Nice logic.
Again: People don't always feel comfortable complaining about such things. Sometimes it's easier to go with the flow, especially if they're
Quote:

I don't see how you can say my intention had nothing to do with it. You're the one always throwing "context" in my face.
|
No. I'm the one that hasn't mentioned context even once in this entire thread, and you're the one that wouldn't understand even if I did. The context isn't the issue here, and neither are your intentions. You don't mean to offend them? Fine. But that doesn't really matter, because the key issue here is that your 'jokes'
are demeaning and tasteless, regardless of whether or not you intend them to be.

This has nothing to do with my gender. If I was female, I'd make the same joke. I've had girls say I'm going to have their baby. Should I be offended? It's a joke.

You're an idiot. What, you're offended? But it's a
joke!
Obvious Counter-Point 2: The rules are different for males and females.
Generally speaking, males want to bang everything they see, while females don't want to
be banged by everything they see.

Anyways (to the person who Lance was aiming it at), I have no need or any reasons to suck up, as I only use the forums and I really don't care if Lance owns me verbally so... *shrugs*
