No, I don't think so. I just read more into sarcasm than people usually do. I think they mean something by it.

I'm probably wrong.

Is that sarcasm or low self-esteem? :eek:

Or both?

You're probably right that there's something behind sarcasm, but finding out what it is is beyond me.
For example, mag's sarcasm could mean that he hates gays, or that he is gay, or something completely different that I have no idea of... Or just that his taste as an adventurer are poor and decadent.

Analyzing everything here, I don't have a clue of what all this was about. Anymore. So mag, could you please explain, in as detailed fashion as possible, what you meant by this: "Geeze, why do you have to be such a homophobe?"

Thank you. And - just in case - if there were any other deliciously obscure fragments of subtle irony, could you expalin those as well?

My conclusion was this:
1) "Geeze, why do you have to be such a homophobe?" is not funny. Obviously. This is its main attribute.
2) So it must mean something else. I interpreted this as a comment to the unfunnyness (what a fantastic word) of my initial "HOMOPHOBE!" post. Therefore I explained why I found it funny, originally.
3) We know that mag supports gay marriage, so him being a homophobe is not likely.

Neither.

I have noticed that what people usually mean by sarcasm -in my case- is "You made a funny grammatical/spelling/etc mistake". Those go unnoticed by me, since I, get this remixor, do not speak English as my mother tongue, and therefore all its subtleties are peculiar to me.

*remixor*

In other words, it doesn't really mean anything expect that they are bitches. For them sarcasm is a way to condense their thoughts into a single sentence. For example, when remixor explained his "Just one book?" -question to me, it was so multithreaded and complex that... whoa.

Maybe I should give up trying to understand this kind of sarcasm altogether and just ask them "What the **** do you bloody hell mean?"

Well
1) 1) was supposed to be funny in the context, not in itself, I guess.
2) I'm not mag, so this is just

I have changed my mind, btw. Tim is hot, and his voice is cute. I want a boyfriend who sounds like Tim Schafer.

Wow. I think you guys are putting a little too much thought into this. Erwin had said that Jane Jensen has cooties because she is a woman. I responded with "all Tim Schafer fans are gay" in mockery of people who use being gay as an insult. This is because I, as I mentioned before, find stereotypes hilarious. This caused deadworm to call me a homophobe. Because deadworm had called me a homophobe and because I had been calling everybody else gay, it is therefore funny when I say, "why do you have to be such a homophobe," in response to deadworm's "all Jane Jensen fans are gay." It's a reversal, you see--ironic because I had been playing the role of the homophobe before accusing somebody else of being a homophobe. It's called "playing along."

Does it have some deeper hidden meaning other than just to be funny? If it does then I don't know what it is. I don't consider myself a homophobe, but they tell me that people can be homophobic and not realize it. So maybe I am a homophobe.

I can't remember hearing him speak? Where did you hear his voice?

Gamespot.

Or was it IGN. Or Gamespy. There was a video review.

And thanks for clearing that up, mag.

Mattsius · 10-30-2004, 12:45 PM

It was on GameSpot.

EDIT: Or actually it might have been the one on Gamespy you were talking about. Well, there's one on each anyway.

We are fighting a religious war. There doesn't have to be a point or a reason for it. We see a group of heathens worshipping a false god, we try to get them to convert and if they don't, we attck them. Simple as that.

I see that Jake's Sticky thread is reviving lots of old threads. Lots of walking deads on the AG forums today. I feel like I'm a character in a George Romero film.
