do you think fingerboarding is gay?

[Edward]

The term "Gay" is so overused, why does it even cause an argument anymore. Finger-boarding isnt gay, wether referring to homosexuality or coolness factor.

I used to fingerboard (One vid on my channel). It was one of my funnest hobby's until I started cubing.

Man, you guys can be so silly.

He asked a legitimate question, and he got 4 pages of stupid replies instead of answers. YES, using "gay" as a negative way to describe something was not good. GET OVER IT.

Anyway, I used to fingerboard, for a long time too. I was pretty good at it, but I just kind of grew out of it. I still have a whole lot of them lying around, but I never use them anymore.

Well said

I could never do any board activities. I never got the board to do anything

Except I like Monopoly. In Pokémon Monopoly, the hotels are Pokémarts

There's nothing wrong with being gay, but I don't personally care for fingerboards

 

[Rama]

Ps. Fingerboarding is awesome!

Fingerboarding suxxxx, it always looks to me as if an infant is having a toy car in his hand, goes back and forth with it and says "BROOM BRMMMMM"; but then done by some teenagers.
But w/e if you wanna do it I wont stop you...

Gay=/=bad.

I also don't personally see the point in Finger-boarding. It's not very impressive.

 

[theretardedcuber]

fingerboarding gay???? ok... i might find it boring .but people might like it... just like we like cubeing

I am not a skateboarder so I've never tried fingerboarding.

In fact actually I can't ride a bicycle even though in 1980 and 1981 my parents really pushed and aided me to learn to do so. But like solving a 3x3 cube, I might return someday to actually do so.

I do not really like fingerboarding (never done it though). It looks kinda dumb to me (agree w/ Eriks post). But then again, everything depends on each person. For example, I do not like cupstacking and many people do.

People have different experiences and therefore different connotations of words. Why do modern people care so much about being politically correct and non-offensive? The meaning of words change all the time. Why can't the word “gay” change from cheerful to homosexual to stupid?
There is no need to get so defensive and insecure just because of a word. How about we just ban every single word that can be considered insulting?
Fingerboarding is gay:

Because it hasn't changed meanings- it's taken on another. Now it means (to some people) homosexual AND stupid. Something I find quite offensive.

Does this thread remind anyone else about the recent south park episode?

Hey Fanwuq, and Dae Ja Voo,
You guys are awesome, just wanted to tell you guys that.

Your replies are probably the most coherent and logical. d:
(In my opinion, of course.)

 

[Owen]

We all know what they mean. Pretend this is the post.

This is pretty random, but...

do you think that finger boarding is stupid?

In case you've lived in your basement for the past few years and don't know what finger boarding is, it's basically skateboarding on miniature skateboards with your fingers.

Anyway, do you? I finger board sometimes, and most people say it's stupid. What do you think?



thnx

I personally don't understand finger boarding. When I first heard of it, I thought it was a joke.

 

[Edmund]

By gay he obviously meant stupid. A lot of people talk about stuff that they don't like by calling it 'gay' including me. I don't like fingerboarding so I'd be like "yeah thats gay" but not cause I actually think its homosexual or has anything to do with sexuality.

Fanwuq, you're Chinese, right? How would you feel if "Chinese" took on an additional connotation of being stupid? If people started referring to stupid things as "Chinese" and people made fun of you and discriminated against you because you were Chinese and therefore stupid?

There are people who are ACTUALLY gay, and not stupid, and they take offense to people using the word gay as a negative term. There's NOTHING wrong with being gay. THAT's why calling things gay is offensive. Get that through your heads.

 

[mmMarco17]

This is so silly. Gay does not equal stupid does not equal gay. As a matter of fact, I'm extremely unintelligent, but not gay in the slightest (not that there is anything wrong with it). On the other hand, my ex-boyfriend is the smartest man I know, who just happens to be gay.

You boys and girls are so silly.

 

[MistArts]

I think of fingerboarding as another hobby, but there is no relation of it being "gay" or not. You just can't describe it like that.
