I realise it's FB and therefore a silly problem but.

Jeremy Fuckface Clarkson posted a vile picture to his twitter today of his equally hateful Top Gear colleagues holding a sign saying 'Gay cunt' next to his ugly sleeping mush Hmm .

He promptly deleted the photo.

A relatively new FB friend (fellow mum on school run) has just shared it. With a smiley face.

I am livid and tempted to comment. The use of gay as a pejorative term is one of my major bugbears and is, imo, completely unacceptable.

She has form for making me Hmm . She referred to a little mixed race boy in our DDs class as a 'half boy' in a conversation we had and I was too Shock to even process let alone challenge what she said.

I have to see her every day. She seemed like a nice person.

WWYD?

And I have never ever met a woman who watches that nonsense.

babywipesrcool · 18/01/2014 14:43

Cunt is a pejorative term? Who knew!

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 14:46

I said I find it pejorative babywibes I don't claim to speak for everyone

Dawndonnaagain · 18/01/2014 14:46

It won't be long before we get nice women don't use terms like that, or have a limited vocabulary. Hmm

One man's meat is another man's poison.

Dawndonnaagain · 18/01/2014 14:51

What on earth does that mean?

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 14:51

Or we get censorship (again)?

GobbySadcase · 18/01/2014 14:53

YANBU.
My husband shared this.
I won't, as gay is not a derogatory term. It's not funny.

Had it just been cunt I'd have shared because that's accurate.

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 14:54

I think the tern cunt that was censored in the novel that came out in a time that was full of repression was a term of admiration.

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 14:56

As in "tha'ss cunt lass" as a way of complimenting her

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 14:57

Calling someone a cunt as an insult is really repellent and insulting to me, think about it

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 15:00

Dawndonna I meant it as people see different situations differently, similar to one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I thought these were everyday terms, sorry if I was wrong.

Is SuzanneUK the new Head Honcho of Goady Fuckers ?

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 15:06

AnyFucker · 18/01/2014 15:12

I have to phrase it as a question, HQ says so Smile

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 15:15

He mean's nothing.

whichdidyouchoose · 18/01/2014 15:16

But obviously you get to decide.

This thread has gone very weird in my absence.

AF yes I think Suzanne may be KH in disguise.

I've unfriended after commenting on the post in question. Life is too short to put up with bigotry from people I don't even know very well. However insidious and subtle it may be.

Thanks again all.

I don't particularly like it being used as an insult, only because it pisses me right off that prick and dick are lighthearted and cunt isn't.
But do continue to patronise, it's amusing.

HavantGuard · 18/01/2014 15:23

Grin at 'are you huffing glue?' Succinct.

AnyFucker · 18/01/2014 15:25

Good move, Bunny. "Half Boy" indeed. The ignorance of some people astounds me and you do not have to suffer it.

which try typing with your eyes closed, it might make more sense Wink
