I honestly have no opinion of my own so that's why I want to see if there's really any excitement over this product. Are you guys waiting for this to come out? Of those of you that do are you fans of this type of music or do you just like rhythm games? I have no idea how to DJ. Are there people waiting for this game that want to try and learn how to DJ or are they already DJ'ing?

"MattyFTM said:Regardless, using a word which is used as both identifying sexual orientation and a slur helps instill homophobia. Using it influences people."How exactly would a DJing game be homosexual?"I'm not saying it's homosexual. I'm saying it's gay. As in shitty."
It just does.
Could have been a really excellent game, but it looks like they are just going to clumsily shoehorn guitar hero controls into a DJ game.
Oh man that controller, FOR SHAME
"Wait, so is it a problem to use the word Gay that way or something? Cause I see it all the time here."Uhhh you've been here since May 4th. Stop acting like a somebody. It's sad to think that the 108 posts you have were all obtained in 4 days. On top of the fact that nothing you say adds to conversation.

To get back on topic (somewhat), if there's some good techno music on there, I'll probably like it. I don't like hip-hop and RnB so if there's a surplus of that, I'll be moving the opposite direction.
Still crossing my fingers for Show Tunes Hero :)

Good lord. Why do people always throw the troll thing out. I think I made it pretty clear why I made this topic. I'm not familiar with the audience of DJ Hero so I'm wondering if there's a big contigency of it here. If I go off topic it's because people come in here and post off-topic posts and I'm responding to them.
Depending on the music in the game, it could go either way. Unfortunately, I'm expecting a load of garbage throwaway dance tracks mixed by sucker DJs on there rather than getting some good mixes from good DJs.

I appreciate the attempt to lighten the mood though. :)
How about this. Can you separate in your head that I'm not actually calling something homosexual and that I'm saying that this is bad? Why in your head are you associating bad with gay? Gay also used to mean fun, why not defend that meaning? I'm saying that DJ Hero may be gay because it may or may not be a terrible idea not because it's homosexual.
Give him a break he's probably young and just hasn't learned that it's wrong to say things like that.

Once you understand this, you will understand why it is bad to do so.

We all know what you meant to say, we are debating its necessity and it's offensiveness.
"Joshbra97 said:Ok, I guess I'll be more PC from here on out but seriously I make a topic then people post in here OT and I'm the troll? What the hell?"Maybe I don't understand what trolling is but what about this thread is trolling? Being off-topic? Cause if it is that's not my fault."People are assuming you're trying to piss people off and attract attention by being offensive and such, but I don't think that is the case. Just consider it a lesson learned for future, man. Don't use the word gay in that context again and nobody will have a problem. I think people should back off now, just don't do it again.Also, I think it could be a decent game, but the controller looks stupid. It would be sweet if they had all the awesome turntablists in there though. Would love to see Q-bert, Shadow, Cut Chemist, Grandmaster Flash, Mixmaster Mike, DJ Craze... that would be sweet."
"Joshbra97 said:Well I don't associate the word gay with homosexuals anymore when I use it. I mean it used to mean fun also."How about this.

It's not about being politically correct, you're using gay as if it was a synonym for bad/terrible, imagine I said "that game is so white". Implying it was bad, see? Now if you actually think that being gay is bad, then you deserve all this crap.
"MattyFTM said:I've known three guys who are gay and all three preferred the use of the word "gay" instead of "homosexual" when referring to their sexuality. So I would just assume for the time being to just stop using gay as a derogatory term and as a term for being happy."Joshbra97 said:Well I don't associate the word gay with homosexuals anymore when I use it.

There are much more creative and fun ways to say something is crappy, sucks, terrible, ect.
