I'd also say, @Skara aside, this forum isn't really the place the moan about folks being clowns with their RIFs. And Skara is far enough away that we don't have deal with his 'you're all pussies' antics on the field .

I might be lying about being in Italy

 

[Druid799]

for starters that hpa's have binary triggers 

If there not binary triggers then are they trans triggers ? ? asking for a confused friend .

[Skara]

Wow someone's salty uh?

isn't that most triggers are non-binary aka trans?

and of course bullpup triggers are gender fluid, unless they're 2-stage which is bisexual

i think.

i mean i lost the track of this somewhere around 2011.....

I always thought ‘Gender fluid’ referred to what makes babies , I’m not so sure now ??

Ahh yes this old nut shell ! It’s up there with “man up !” And “necro post !” Two of the oldest and stalest retorts in the sport ! ?‍

i think it means you're either a male, female, both, or neither depending on how you feel at any given moment.

but then my source for this was trolling the character creation in south park tfbh so probably mildly innaccurate.....

Was being facetious !?‍??

I dare say it's safe to say this thread has run its course, before we start (or continue) to dip into offending people (be that intentionally, or unintentionally).

More than happy to get flamed to kingdom come for it, but I don't think the sexuality/gender/indentification is particularly appropriate. If you're genuinely confused by it, there are plenty of great resources to become better informed.

yeah, it was a clever adjustment of the terminology for sure.

understandable, guess this is starting to stray into tricksy territory.

i suppose to clarify i was mostly exaggerating for the humour (as i assume was druid), when it comes to airsoft by the time everyone's decked up in camo, webbing, face pro etc you can barely tell the difference anyway and what folk get up to behind closed doors ain't my concern.

I'd like to think I've got a good enough gauge of you both over my time on here to know there was no malice behind it, just felt like I needed to call out that it didn't feel appropriate. I'd hate for the contents of some of those messages be folks from LGBTQ+ communities first (and lasting) impression of how inclusive this forum is.

The fella throwing 'fags' around as an insult though? Yeah, long walk, short cliff.

understandable, easy to get carried away sometimes.

always that disconnect between having the occasional chuckle at non-pc humour and your own heartfelt beliefs at the best of times, and the internet isn't the greatest for easily telling the difference, especially out of context.

Couple of things Kai;

cry is spelt Crye

Drop the homoerotic talk, there are many was to insult people without calling on homophobic troupes that make you look like a  boomer (sorry boomers).

Totally agree calling someone a fag is no longer acceptable, those days are gone and that kind of language and behaviour should no longer exist but you REALLY need to lighten up mate , when you start getting ‘offended’ by very slightly non PC humour your setting your self up to be ridiculed . What one person finds ‘offensive’ the next person may not , or even if someone may be incredibly offended by something yet the next person is far from offended by it . It’s all subjective , in the end when society as a whole and not just a small group decide something is no longer acceptable then it can be regulated not before . Freedom of speech in its purest form is offending someone but not attacking them . I’ll leave the final word to one of Britain’s greatest gay men that ever was .

Ffs someone put this topic back track before the homophobes & Snowflakes unite in a mighty milsim based army that wants to take on the regular sensible NOT easily offended people that are here for the Bantz & Airsoft based wisdom ? 

 

[Shamal]

I think I have said it before "you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all the time" 

That's life as we know it Jim!

Having read my initial post back I could have been clearer. The 'offensive' bit I was refering to was the phrase we agree is no longer acceptable. The dipping into the identification subject was, in my opinion, inappropriate and unneccesary within the topic of conversation. I felt the conversation was starting to go in an inappropriate direction, explained why, and left it at that. I was very concious of not pointing out that I was offended, and was simply raising that it may not reflect well. If you're happy to accept that it may not reflect well, and think the humour is worth it, then as you were.

I won't waste my time trying to convince anyone that they should consider what they think is humour could be offensive to others. I'm a straight white British male (as imagine the vast majority of the folks that make up this forum are), I'm/we're fortunate to not have to deal with that sort of stuff on a daily basis. As expected the term snowflake has now been thrown in there, so that's good.

I'm more than aware of the general demographic for airsoft, alongside the general demographic for forums so I can't say I'm surprised by the reaction of being challenged on it. I agree that it is all subjective, what isn't subjective is that if it hadn't been said at all then there would have been no risk of offending anyone.

I won't drag it out any further, I've said what I wanted to say and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to give a reasoned response so I felt I should do the same.

 

[GenuineGerman]

I personally find any one that uses a homophobic Slur in this context disgraceful and further it doesn’t belong in today’s society. There is a fine line between humour and being offensive, what friends call each other in jest is another thing. 
 

I would love a hpa rif only because air is free. 

 

[Kls77]

Hpa dmr all the way . So quiet and single fire only . 

It's the usual argument here of blame the equipment and tools not the users ..... 

Just play the game . Most sites do have rof and of people get caught they are told to single only 

U will always get the nobhead that mag dumps out of a bush with any gun he has
