This whole gaycube thing.......

ic14 · 18-12-2003, 13:35

Ill prob get in trouble for this thread but quite frankly i have had enough
Will all you Gamecube haters please stop calling it Gaycube. I am not the only one who is getting fed up with near enough every thread in this forum turning in to a chidish slanging match.
If you dont like the Gamecube just dont post in here, its easy enough to do.

(Prepares for a ton of bad rep)

I totally agree with you - just cos the Gamecube is a lesser selling console doesn't mean other people don't like it

Fair enough, we're all entitled to our opinions - I for one think the XBox looks ridiculous, far too bulky, but I don't go round calling it some childish name

It works for other subjects - if people don't like the thread, or the opinion, fair enough - but "gaycube" is a pathetic, childish name imho

I agree with you too, people using "gay" as a derogatory term need a good slap upside the melon.

Agreed IC14.

Thanks cake, bifta and tigasefi.
when i can give good rep again (tomorrow)ill do it

Ill admit i did use that term a few times, allthough not really on these forums but it is annoying, just like when people call the xbox a brick or a pc, that also annoys me, so as a gamecube and xbox owner id just like them to be both called thier names, although gamecube can be abbrivated to GC

it doesnt matter one bit about the "age group", its the fact that your using "gay" as a derogatory term.

I don't think Defiant has the capability to grow up IC14, so I'd ignore him if i was you.

I think the mistake you are making is equating the number of units sold with quality. Look at the number of people that buy Gold Blend, and that isn`t exactly a quality coffee (personally I think that calling it coffee in the first place is stretching it a bit).

Damn right and good point! (just look at whats no. 1 in the charts most weeks

)

Unfortunately the people who use this term (with one exception who can't help himself) just can't see what they are doing - and can't see it as a problem.

They also don't give a sh*t who they are offending.

It is sad - but I guess they should be looked on as the pitiful people they really are.

It shouldn't matter which system you chose - just be happy with it or them and leave it at that.
