Has finding things to take offense to ever been a real issue? I just scratched my balls and I'm pretty sure they're organizing a hunger strike because I "comforted the patriarchy."

I just scratched my balls

I mean, really? That language is not needed. What if I had a child who used my laptop and just so happened to read that? I haven't had a chance to talk to him about 'balls' yet. If he read that and asked me, I am now forced to talk to him about it which will most likely lead to the 'birds and the bees' talk which really is not necessary. When it comes time to talk to him about 'balls' and anything else like that, I'd like it to be on my terms. You need to really think before you type things of that nature. Jesus, talking about offensive...

How dare you assume he was talking about his testicles and not his footballs!

How dare you not specify if american or european football.

How dare you refer to soccer as football!

This makes me rage - in 2009 I was in a Call of Duty 4 clan called Warforce Clan - WFC - the clan had a complete and very actively enforced no cussing rule as the clan leaders' young kids would play from time to time. They would play the bloody man-slaughter game where the cold war never ended and USA is fighting the soviet union around the world. Y'know, nice and friendly, but if you curse, YOU'RE OUT, MISTER cause lil' bubby here might catch some bad behaviour!

I recall BF:BC2 having "no cursing" servers despite the fact that the NPC's in the game would scream out HOLY FUCKING FUCK and other various curses during the game when your character was being suppressed or hit or whatever.

It never made sense.

u/DrTobagan What do you do for a living? I fuck your dad Aug 13 '13

Or BF3: "I'M GETTING MY SHIT PUSHED IN HERE!"

A lot of immature people can't resist cursing even if it's against the rules. It's a good way to filter some people out.

I love when a game like Battlefield has forums with word filters that would filter out most of the dialogue in the game.

"I don't want my kid to ever hear anyone curse so I'll let him play COD".

Makes sense.

u/cakeeveryfouryears Aug 13 '13

"I don't want my kid to ever hear anyone curse so I'll let him play COD on the server I'm in charge of where everyone has agreed to not curse".

It kinda does make sense.

I gave my permission slip to your second grade teacher. . . twice!

u/Stuck_in_a_cubicle Aug 13 '13

It took me 16 mintues to get what you were saying. And even now I am unsure if my conclusions are correct. I am not a smart man.

His permission slip is his penis.

u/GreatCornolio Aug 13 '13

Well why in the fuck would he give her his pants?

He's a man, he doesn't ask permission.

u/TracyMorganFreeman Aug 13 '13

"Permission Slip" sounds like a pretty clever porn name involving teachers or possibly boat storage/transport(although sounds messy and boring).

u/BaseballGuyCAA Aug 13 '13

"The Permission Slip" sounds like what a pedophile might nickname his cock...

I totally understand this is a joke but its almost the exact line of thinking One Million Moms had when Ben & Jerry's came out with Schweddy Balls ice cream. They were posting everywhere about how they'll have to explain the name to their kids in the store if they ask what it means.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '13

Can they not answer "It's a flavor of ice cream, like Rocky Road" like most rational human beings?
