baalboy5 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 This is a personal encounter if you would say. okie? Well if you don't play a online game with the word 'gay' uncensored then you wouldn't know what were talking about (I think). Anyway, I play halo 3 and call of duty 4 and every time someone get's killed in a unreasonble or just plan easy way they would say. 'Dude thats so gay! I shot him!' or along the lines of that. Now we all know the meaning of gay, but what is it in a video game term? I'm sure you all had (don't take it offensive) those 'gay' moments in video games. Like for example. 'Dude that guy sworded me at no shield! thats so gay!!' OR 'That guy with the heli such a gay camper'. I'm pretty sure most people encournterd the word gay in a video game term. So post your experience and what you think it's mean? I think it means that the victim things something is unfair in a owange fashion. :uhh: Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob. People in OT eat glass when they are bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine naked men Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, the good old Shotgun V Knife encounter in CoD4 always spouts that kinda crap. "Dude, I so knifed you, that's gay!" But I've only encountered it a couple of times in CoD4, because most players on the servers I use are pretty mature. But you occasionally get the 10-year old with a mic who screams insults at you if you shoot him, so it kind of balances out. :roll: sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomom1919 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have many friends who are openly gay. I'm so used to calling something unfair 'gay' that, even around them, I use the term in a fashion such as that. Like when something unfair happens in real life or someone is rude, or if I simply roll a bad roll when playing boardgames, I'll say 'that's gay' even around them. However, they don't mind, and they actually use the word in that manner that themselves. I don't say gay in videogames or mouth off anyone. Hell, I don't even respond when someone tries to insult me [i just show them up next round in cod4]. And I know that this thread is about videogames, I just felt like sharing that. It really is a bad habit to say it though... I'll keep trying to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not many people i play with use the word. It's usually just younger people who don't really understand why they are saying that word instead of other words like lame or sucks. I just say "That sucks". Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

I've never liked the use of the word in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I don't use 'gay' for unfair things in games, I have more refined insults for people when they luckbox out on me or just don't play fair... like 3rd parties who shoot people in knife fights... spawn campers, etc. Plenty of insults to go around for those kind of stat-whoring bastards :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, the meaning of the word 'gay' has changed, no need for yet another thread over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender2516 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The only problem is, IRL if you get knifed, you can't say "thats gay", lol. Gay in video game terms = suck. If you love me, send me a PM. 8 - Love me2 - Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrotis Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used to use it as part of my day to day vocab, literally whatever is was you would be certain to hear a "dude, why was that so gay!" or "that is just pure gay!" but meh now in the past 2 or so years, my insults have become a little more refined and possibly more offensive... and to stop myself from this online I only wear my headset in match's with friends or private chats because they know what my vocabulary is like. Well that's about all... (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used to use "gay" in that context all the time. To break the habit though, I started saying "noob sauce". Now I'm hooked on that.

Deiophobus Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The word has almost become a synonym for stupid, which I really don't like. I never use it myself. A lot of people will argue that because everyone does it, it's okay, because they just mean stupid. But there's definitely something else there.

rushrock Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I don't use "gay" like that. The word shouldn't be changed to the meaning of stupid or anything like that, so I don't like people who use the word like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I don't say gay, if someone kills me like that, I make some kind of garbled "graah" sound, starting slightly loud and dying down, not an ascending type. probably started from killing so many Elites in Halo, it sounds like them when you stealth kill them, actually :oops: Command the Murderous Chalices!

No_OnE Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 It's not just video games. The word 'gay' in general has changed in meaning. Just about everyone I know uses the word 'gay' in place of stupid, unfair, etc. It's just changed in meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
