I had a good fun time playing "Trump_Wall" in Hardcore, basically spamming frostwall self-cast and on totems trying to troll people in parties.	Posted by Graiseperiod#1501 on May 11, 2017, 11:10:23 PM Quote this Post

[Removed by Support] No no, the fun part is that none of those names have anything to do with race, but too many people still think that they do. Its like dihydrogen monoxide opposers, and flat earthers combined.

Yet you post it here, proud of it like it's comedy gold. Sure. Last edited by Graiseperiod#1501 on May 11, 2017, 11:38:56 PM	Posted by Graiseperiod#1501 on May 11, 2017, 11:38:28 PM Quote this Post
" Graiseperiod wrote: Yet you post it here, proud of it like it's comedy gold. Sure. The reactions those words get from people is pure comedy gold, again like flat earthers and dihydrogen monoxide opposers. The words themselves are nothing funny or offensive. If people didnt ignorantly over react to them, there would be no entertainment in using them. It would be the same thing as being offended by the word 'hello' because it contains 'hell'.

I think the more likely case is that you think it's funny because it's not quite a taboo word, but it almost is. Either way, it's childish at best, and just not funny at worst.

Either way, it's childish at best, and just blatantly not funny at worst. Yes that as well. Puns are always humourous, and theres nothing childish about them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun " The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.[1][2] These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or figurative language. A pun differs from a malapropism in that a malapropism is an incorrect variation on a correct expression, while a pun involves expressions with multiple correct interpretations. Puns may be regarded as in-jokes or idiomatic constructions, as their usage and meaning are specific to a particular language and its culture. Puns have a long history in human writing. Sumerian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphs were originally based on punning systems, and the Roman playwright Plautus was famous for his puns and word games.[3][4] Punning has been credited as the fundamental concept behind alphabets, writing, and even human civilization (b) Personal abuse, foul language, inappropriate subject matter, obscene, harassing, threatening, hateful, or discriminatory or defamatory remarks of any nature ... are not permitted. - PoE TOS.
