Scrap Metal can also be contracted to me.

Thank you, and fly safe!
Arriving in Amarr, I begged for more money in local. Surprisingly, someone who looked to be a scammer (and may be) told me to dock up in station so she could trade me some goods.

Ahh but I'm not promising any money back.

Hence the use of the word variation.

Yours is more honest; it relies on people not expecting money back.

However, Im not sure mentioning charity at all is wise.

I'm not sure I want to keep the money, you know?

The Angel Project is pretty cool though, and every ISK counts.

Do you have any suggestions?

This is the greatest variation of the Isk Doubler I have yet seen

I wish you luck in your endevours, Space Homo

I almost didn't catch that almost clever use of homophobia.

I almost didn't catch that almost clever use of homophobia.

If you think that, then you have a poor grasp of the english language.

Not to mention a one track mind.

The mastermind of scammers has revealed itself, someone either kill it with fire or shoot a capital pokemon ball at it!

You're right in that homophobia is often over- and mis-used, but what I wanted to call it was considerably less polite.

Considering its not what you think it is, you are being rather foolish to attempt to make it fit your ridiculous definition of homophobic behaviour, and just because you want it to be doesn't make it so.

I don't think you understand what it is. Regardless, you called him a homo as an implied insult, which is bigotry and general jackassery at it's finest.

You are inferring an insult where none is intended.

If you feel offended because you don't understand what the word actually means, that's your problem, not mine, and I suggest you should probably stop looking for things to be offended about where none exists.

As you are the one who sees some sort of prejorative statement inherent in that word, then it is you, Sir, who are the one being offensive.

Guys, take it somewhere else.
Or send me 100 ISK for every post debating homophobia.
Your pick =)

(P.S. Lol just kidding, you don't have to send ISK. But seriously, go PM each other or something)

I understand what it means, it refers to an entire group of people, and when you substitute it for something that means bad, stupid, or in some way lesser, you are insulting that group of people. If you can't see why that's a bad thing, why using that word as an insult is a bad thing, then I pity you.

offensive.

Then why bring up sexuality at all? It is pubescent.

sex? pube

I see you sidetracking now. Nice bait and switch, but you can not get around the fact what you typed in the first response was in implied insult. There would be absolutely no point in calling him a Space Homosapien, but there is reason to lay out an 'implied' insult on the OP for a not so great post, to bait the OP or other people into a line of conversation that you are thoroughly enjoying right now.

Well, first of all, it's actually "Homo sapiens", not "Homosapien".... common mistake, though.
Second, cishet man, I wasn't offended by Ramona's post. Please, think I'm straight. It's cute when people assume that about me (never mind the fact that I have a girlfriend.... sexuality is a scale, not an "on or off").
Third, your stubborn insistence on "this is what it is, because I refused to read or comprehend" even in the face of numerous explanations proving your assumption false.... staggering.

(and, PS: not to play further into this crap, but in most situations, the word "homo", when used as slang for "gay" is about as offensive as heterosexual people think "straight" is..... that one's rarely used as an insult, anymore)

And yes I missed the space on that. Taxonomy was never my favorite aspect of biology.

This is an equally great non-scam like my old non-scam donations list.

Well done!


And believe me, when I compliment this stuff it means you are doing it right! :D

What have I said in ANY post that implied I was insulting him?

Its pun based on the word "hobo"

He wasn't offended, I didn't intend it as an insult and the only people bent out of shape here are white knights who seem to think that there's something wrong with being gay in the first place.

Weak ass pun. Nothing funny or quippy about switching hobo to homo. Plenty enough history of people taking offense to it, enough for you to start with anti white knighting though. Again I could not care less about the insult, you could have put any insult there and I would still be right here calling your post a troll post.

Good for you. Good job I don't write my posts to entertain you then isn't.

But the next time you respond to someone attacking your posts, like I was doing for mine, Ill be sure to report you for trolling too, just so you feel that you have made the world safe from what you consider trolling, okay?

If someone had not started on you, you would not have even read a word from me on this line.

I don't think you understand what it is. Regardless, you called him a homo as an implied insult, which is bigotry and general jackassery at it's finest.

And I would not have been forced to reply to Derrick's wibbling.

I know what you are saying, but if you have read my gibberish so far, you know that I can't stand being called troll when in fact I like the OP, want to help him, and have done nothing but warn him of the dangers of attaching the word "charity" to his operation.

And rest assured, Space Homo, I will be forwarding the isk in approximately 3 hours.

Can somebody spare me some pocket change?

And you got thumbs up for that

Just like the guy that went after you I almost missed your switch of words, and when it did catch my eye, while I know and understand the etymology of the prefix, it felt like it was not intended in the terms you have stated retroactively; but that is as far as it went in my head. But that could just be a symptom of too much time on EvE-O forums, GD in particular.

I'd like to conduct another social experiment soon.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you remember the Gnome Incursions in WoW?

No?

Most people dont.

But what about a Lemming Line/ Conga Line of as many people as you can find setting themselves to follow?

Just the first thing off the top of my head that might be built on.

why do all you heteros have so many opinions on homophobia. and why is ramona so defensive about it. i thought she was better than that :,(

The better person lets themselves be called a bigot?

What?

I think social test #2 for the Space Hobo would be to start a fight with a random stranger.. and lose.

the better person doesn't give in to their knee-jerk reaction to taking offense at being told that something they said was tasteless and then continue trying to defend their tasteless comment even after it's clear to everyone that you did in fact mean "homo" as in "homosexual", it's pretty obvious, we all know how implications of homosexuality are a ripe source of comedy for most of society and trying to pretend that you weren't initially drawing off that is pointless. admitting that what you said came from a place of bigotry is honest, good, and fairly painless

Ahh but I'm not promising any money back.

Think of this as a social experiment. These guys were simply rewarded for their time.

BTW, I'm linking you to a spreadsheet that details the donations received, and the date.

Last guy sent me for "A great read" =)

I see.

Another person who equates homosexuality with something bad, and something to be laughed at, and you attempt to call ME the bigot?

Seriously, you should take a good look at yourself before you point fingers.

i was pointing out that in most places homosexuality is considered, if not bad, at least worthy of ridicule, and that you wouldn't have made that comment if you weren't aware of that. i'm not sure how being aware that homophobia is a thing that exists makes one homophobic

And clearly you have not noticed I avoid doing anything that "most people" do, especially attempting to mock people for something completely natural.

I dont care what "most people" in "most places" do.

If you find that they do this acceptable, then you are part of the problem too.

???

you're implying that you were acting without any influence at all from the homophobic society that you are immersed in, and your idea to do a play on words off of "hobo" was based on... what, exactly? where do you think the idea that calling someone a homosexual is funny even comes from if not the idea that homosexuality is inherently gross and funny

and somehow, critiquing something that is both derived from and contributes to a culture of homophobia is homophobic now? :|

I've gone berserk over slurs in GD, and I will continue to do so if I see one.

In Ramona's case, my experience is that Ramona has been consistently vocal in favor of gender and difference/preference equality and respect.. often taking a stronger stand than I have the courage to express.

Nothing Ramona says, from my limited understanding, is coincidental.. so don't become the poor souls who find themselves at the wrong end of a GD posting grudge match. Her intention is not to be bigoted or biased or any of those things..

Let's help Space Hobo find some space adventures..

hold on, so your argument is based off the idea that you through of, typed out, and posted a comment containing the word "homo" without at all thinking about homosexuality, its assumed comedic value, or how someone reading that comment might interpret it. that's a lil...

... ok, whatever, i'll go back to crying over confessions of a mask now or something

I dont care how others choose to understand what I say, because I dont wear a mask. The meaning was clear between myself and the person I was talking to.

I feel it is time when our culture should develop beyond such nonsense.

If something is bad, I call it bad.

Dwell in the meanderings of a terrible past if you wish, but I would recommend striving for a better future.

That's why the world Yukio Mishima details does not exist in that country anymore.

I volunteer as tribute!

May the odds ever be in your favour.

i should've gone for something more pithy like "self flagellation while re-watching -¦-+-+-â-¦-+-¦ -ë-¦-+-+-¦"

What you don't seem to understand is that it is Ok to call another player "Homo" if you are Ramona because she understands what she means and you don't! Get it?

I know the work but I fail to see the connection.

However, Russia's time will come.

the joke is that the cartoon is interpreted as being a reference to homosexual persecution and you can read it as a self-loathing clueless straight ally thing or as a self-loathing homosexual thing

wait is this sarcastic or not. i can't tell any more. these politics where pointing out that something someone said was tacky is interpreted as an attack on someone entire character have rendered me incompetent to stand trial any longer
