fag is the new nigga

liberalfag.

grow a backbone.
also words are neutral no matter what. it's the context they are used in that makes them positive or negative

OP is a fag.

Gonna need a mootblox probably.

Its just a word man. I am gay and I say fag all the time (not referring to actual fags). I hate other gay guys who are all uptight about that, they need to chill the fuck out.

Gayfag here, it doesn't matter, because words have no intrinsic meaning, but are given meaning by their context.

It denotes a group.

"-tard" is insulting to all the neckbeards and people with some made up mental disorder that keeps them locked inside a room.

Linguistfag here.

Suffix represents a transformation of ANY word, into a noun form, describing a population of people associated with that word.

It's truly powerful stuff.

Eg:

Christfag: People who are very christian.
Xboxfag: People who favor the Xbox 360
Avatarfag: People who like the movie Avatar a lot.
Fagfag: Homosexuals, (usually male)
Swimfag: People who swim a lot.


OP is some combination of Moralfag, Newfag, and Dumbfag. Fails to use inb4 properly. Is a rigid self righteous inflexible bitch who is unable to adapt to new ideas, and will die like a dinosaur.

Is unworthy of the glory that is 4chan.

The -fag suffix isn't derogatory on 4chan. Just like it's okay for Ice Cube to refer to Dr. Dre as "my nigger", but it's racism for me (whitefag) to call Dr. Dre "my nigger".

Any Fagfags up in here? I know there's at least one.

Evolved out of the 12-year-old level discourse that pervades everything on the internet.

Well, it is 4chan, not texting your mother.

>>7357404
I think that Gayfag counts as a fagfag.

>>7357419
No, I mean the other fagfag.

I'm a faggot and I don't have any problems with anyone using the suffix -fag here on 4chan. Seriously, I don't see what's the issue with it. Chill.

>>7357449

Wait, you're obsessed with fagfags?

You're a fagfagfag?

OP here, If you read the first message, I've been to 4chan for over two years, so I'm not a Newfag. I'm not a dumbfag as well.

Moralfag? Well, sort of.

As for the use of "inb4", many 4channers often use inb4 in their first message these days.

>>7357528

As mentioned. OP is an IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKER.

It doesn't matter HOW LONG you've sat in front of the screen.

It matters if you've LEARNED SHIT.

a long time ago before all the newfags came fag actually meant faggot on 4chan.

1. When and how did this practice of using ''fag" started on this site? No clue.

2. What does the -suffix represent? I hate to be all prudish about it, but to me it has a connotation of ignorance and disrespect when used in the 'IMHIPIUSEINFLAMMATORYWORDSTOBECOOLHURRDURR' fashion

3. Would you use that word outside of 4chan (in real life)? Nope. Never have and never will. Same goes for '_____'s gay/homo' or '_____'s retarded'

4. (fixed that for ya) What is your sexual orientation? Straight female

>>7357303
lol wat You use retard as an insult, but not fag because it insults gays? What a little faggot you are, i bet you love sucking dicks.

>>7357528
>I think being here for 2 years qualifies as not being a newfag.

ITT: Gayfags don't care, straight moralfags do.

1. I've seen it used for only about as long as the oldfag/newfag thing arose. Before that it was just /b/tards, fa/tg/uys, and the like.
2. Because it's used for everything, both positive and negative, I think that the -fag suffix is mainly (whether intentional or not) a technique to make getting into the culture more difficult. After all, you don't call your friends "friendfags."
3. Never, really. I too, find it offensive and was probably raised in the same way as you with regard to racist and sexist insults.
(Two 3s, wat?) I tell people I'm straight. I don't find men attractive, but I like penises and vaginas equally. I guess queerstraight or some other retarded P.C. term.

>>7357685
No U.

And what does the word "faggot" mean in 4chan? I can think of few things: Moron, loser, idiot.

Did I just answered my own question?

>>7357722
>>7357669
I did not noticed the double threes. Sorry about that.

>>implying tard isnt a negative term for a specific minority

gtfo

>>7357722
Linguisticfag here. You're doing it wrong.

Friendfag would be someone who's obsessed with the idea of friends. EG. Someone on myspace with 40 thousand internet friends.

Your own personal friends aren't friendfags, because their status as friends is NOT independent of you. A christfag remains a christfag whether it's your mother or some random dude in Africa.

Also, OP has clearly demonstrated EXACTLY what is status is in regards to being a newfag/dumbfag is.

>>7357743
Ok, so it's still describing populations, which is why I friendfag wouldn't work. I still think it's an exclusionary measure. Perhaps a better example is that you wouldn't hear Republitards and Demofags on the news.

OP, by endowing the word "fag" with any power to offend you are doing actual homosexuals a disservice

>>7357303
1. Last thursday
2. It works in much the same way that "man" did back when it meant "person." Someone who sages a lot is a sagefag; someone who lives in britain is a britfag, and so on. It exists to create new words, like "un-" or "anti-".
3. Nah. Only really works in english.
3. Bi for traps.

>>7357303
1. No fucking clue.

2. The fact that you don't know this means you need to LURK THE FUCK MOAR!

...oh wait, nobody ITT really understands. Oh boy...

Okay, the thing is, there are TONS of pictures of cocks/gay porn floating around 4chan. If you were really SEVERELY UNCOMFORTABLE with homosexuality, then WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN BE ON 4CHAN?

Appending the suffix -fag onto everything as a way of adding negative connotations, and just generally using 'faggotry' as an insult is sort of a send-up of extreme homophobes, who typically are in a rush to call everything/everybody that they don't like gay.

TL;DR version: It's typical 4chan irony.

4. No.

5. Straight male.

>>7357461
And so it begins.
Predictablefags, all of you.

>>7357303
You, sir, are a faggot.

I'm gay as shit and I could care less as long as it's not being used in a deragatory sense. (ie. You fucking cock sucking piece of shit faggot). THAT is offensive.

My straight friends teasing me and calling me a fag every once in a while is not offensive. A bunch of retards on the internet calling everyone fags is not offensive.

Anyone who says otherwise is an overly sensitive idiot.

Fag doesn't mean gay anymore.

>>7357865
Motherfuckin' fag, go back to your uh, fudge..packing.

Oh well, I tried being homophobic. ;_;

1. No idea
2. what >>7357669 said for #2
3. No, I hate when people use it IRL.
4 Lesbian/ gay female

>>7357881
Seriously. Half the time I forget it also means asspirate.

I support equal rights for fags, but that doesn't mean they are equal as people. Homosexual males have a female brain, and females are inferior so they're inferior too. Homosexual females don't exist. All females are bisexual, some of them hate men.

>>7357928
Gayfag here.

I can vouch for the validity in this statement.

No joke.

Basically it falls into the same category as the way l33tsp34k is used. Or using 'teh' on purpose, or !!!!!1one

It's somewhat-ironic. It's like, "I know you're going to make fun of me for being x, so I'm just going to start it that way."

It almost avoids the confrontation. If you start with "I play Magic: The Gathering", you will get 'go away magicfag'. If you say "Magicfag here", most people will not turn around and try to say "You're a magicfag, go away." because, well, you're already aware.

It's tongue-in-cheek.

OP,here. Thanks a lot. Now I won't be uncomfortable using fag on 4chan anymore.

>>7357303
>If I don't use prejudicial words in real life, I don't use them on the internet.
>-tard

It sounds like you're a dick in real life, then. You have an issue insulting homosexuals, but people with special needs are open season? Which of those groups is best equipped to defend itself, I wonder?

Fuck off.
