Really? Interesting.

I would imagine that this would have been obvious, given how much of a tomboy I am. Though I'm definitely third wave, not second wave; I don't automatically think porn is evil or degrading and I like the company of men.

And I believe you made fun of people who worship Ani Difranco once, another curveball! =)

I would never use those words in front of a gay person, but I'm always things are gay and the word "fag" comes from my mouth on occasion. What's your reasoning? If you don't mind me asking.

I've always been vehemently anti-discrimination, and I know from experience (ignore the after-school-special qualities of this next statement, it's true) how much words can hurt. I have a lot of lesbian friends, and I'm employed by Mount Holyoke's gay and lesbian cultural house; it's just one of the smaller issues I take up.

I think context is more important than the word itself. I mean, should a gay person be offended if I called my straight friend a fag? Sure, they can assume I'm implying that they're gay, which is then a bad thing, but too many words have a double meaning. Obviously when someone calls someone a "fag" it doesn't always mean they're calling them "gay." The same goes for the word "gay." If I'm watching a football came and a ref makes a bad call and I go, "Pfffft! That's gay!" it really has nothing to do with homosexuality, so should someone who is gay take offense? I don't think so.

Of course, I usually guage people first before I open up. I'm shy so it's not like I'd roll up to your gay friends and be like "What up, faggots?" You know? :lol:

At the same time, the words "gay" and "fag" mean homosexual (at least in America, in the U.K. fag is slang for cigarette), so when you use those words to mean "bad," you're using "homosexual" as a synonym for "bad."

I don't resemble anything metal, whatsoever. Well, I do have a nice size beard, and I blast my metal out my car windows every so often to scare the old Cuban ladies (I love their facial expressions when I have my Cannibal Corpse - Kill album playing and track two comes on and all of sudden "SuffERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!").

I guess I am pretty Metal compared to you all except I am old enough to be a lot of your Dads and might look like it.

I do have short hair and don't "hang" out with metal people.

On the other hand I love Black Metal and especially one man band underground shit but get off just as hard on newer Tiamat.

I think Thrash sucks for the most part.

I have never heard and entire Morbid Angel album Suffocation or any of that shit but like Obituary.

I use the word gay all the time which maybe makes me gay?

I think Ozzy Sabbath sucks and prefer Dio and Tony Martin

I disagree. Though those two words do mean homosexual, they've also been used in ways far removed from anything homosexual for long enough to justify that someone not take immediate offense assuming they're referring to something or someone homosexual. It's all about context.

But again, they're not favorite words of mine and I am conscious of them so I would never start belting them out in front of people who may take offense.

I am very big on insisting that when someone takes offense to something, words in particular, that it is their fault, not the person from which those words came.

I think that's because we are passionate about it. I mean when people mention Opeth like the best shit ever I feel obliged to go ruin their shit. Maybe its the same way for other guys who don't like black metal, they just try pathetically to bash it when we say how awesome it is.

I never said fuck power metal, even though I have made it clear that I think power metal could be the soundtrack to a movie where gay dudes fuck each other.

I don't do any kind of drugs, not even coffe
I'll soon be off studying at a university

I detest like cars, bikes and driving
Girls scare me

What I am though:
Pretty Independent
Kind of honest, both towards myself and others
Sort of a lone wolf
