Edit : so, should we start calling the other site "the sibling site" or something as a precaution ?

people have too much free time and have all become over-sensitive.

I mean people who are open to sexual experiences are called sluts by prudish people. A man can also be a slut... So who exactly is bothered by this....and prostitutes should not feel addressed....
All in all, the discussion is more than pointless.

I agree, Gearcunts would be much more appropriate.

 

Yes, it's a crazy name and so is "Twitter" itself.

 

lol. can't wait for "facebook" to be offensive to those who have low self-confidence

 

Twitter? No, absolutely not. Oh, you mean GS? Yes, absolutely, I vote for GearWankers.

 

i mean, i get it from a "professional" perspective but this BS about "my feelings are hurt and you might hurt someones feelings" hate this BS tahts controlling the industry. who cares.

 

how sad. thing is I can see this taking off

 

How about Corksnifferz? Gearsnobz? Boredboomerz?

 

Okay "Peterpan" is now cancelled

"Stop the Squeal"
"Trumpet's Wall"
"Barack Usayobama"
"GOP globetrotters"

Facebook is banning words, maybe even books.

 

Personally, it sounds like a 14 year old named this forum and Gearslutz. I know it's not going to change, and I'm still going to continue using this forum and GearSlutz, but it would be nice if my wife wouldn't wonder if I was on a porn site if I left a tab open on GearSlutz or AudioSex forums. lol Other than that, don't much care.

 

That's certainly taking pc to an absurd length. All for dropping certain language that actually does harm in context of course. How to know stupid pc vs righteous pc? Suppose like Supreme Court Justice Stewart said regarding defining what is hardcore porn.... "I know it when I see it."

It's always interesting to see that people who get offended by these things never want to make their own community, but instead they try to get an existing successful community to conform to their standard of what is acceptable. They are always a vocal minority and most times are not even as involved in the community. With that said, the name should be changed IAmABigGearSlutz.

 

is terribleopinionsbyterriblepeople.com taken?

 

Let us hope this plague of stupidity wont reach mainland Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.

Yes, Gearcuntz iz goood ...

 

This should be taken seriously as its obviously bigoted hatred, using a word like "facebook" lol what where people thinking?
This could utterly destroy a persons self worth if they are suffering from a condition that causes their face to appear similar to a large, rectangular hardcover book.

 

Eh? It HAS reached europe

 

Isnt it funny that you think using words like "sex" and "slutz" in website urls is childish behavior,
When your wife would not naturally accept simple, low-level offense "slurs" in a website url, that isnt in the end at all about pornography?
That seems massively immature and unworldly, when
"even if it was porn, uh so what lol?".... - thats what my lady would ask your lady

 

Yeah, but its not that bad as in the land of the free and the bland.
