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?

Guess one can't be great AND gay eh? First racial insults, now sexual orientation insults, what's next for the always surprising GB community? :P

Regardless, using a word which is used as both identifying sexual orientation and a slur helps instill homophobia. Using it influences people.

It just does.

Yeah, if you want to mean "shitty", you should probably use the word "shitty", or something similar refering to fecal matter.

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

Examples? I've only seen it once on GB a long while ago, and it received a similar response to this one.

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.

Edit: By the way, it's not difficult to get 108 posts in a few days. I'm just saying... your posts are crap. That's what I'm saying.

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 :)

I think it's more because he has a sweet avatar. Oh, and he generally contributes to the community in a good way or something.

Most of those are from the early days of the site when it was full of idiots. There are a few recent examples, but they are few and far between.

Umm.. his avatar? I can have some crappy drawings to for my avatar, so what. Besides the only thing I see him contributing to today is attacking me because he's got a stick up his ass.

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.

The avatar thing was more of a joke, but Calvin and Hobbes is pretty rad imo. Just trying to lighten the mood a little, duders. Just because people called you out on your use of an improper word is not a reason for you to have a stick up your ass.

I'm just sick of all this because I'm trying to make more threads like the ones I've seen here but the same people keep attacking me and just being off-topic yet I'm the one who's not contributing to the community. I appreciate the attempt to lighten the mood though. :)

Grow up and you won't  be trounced. My 12 year old nephew has enough common sense not to call something gay when others are around if he does not like something. You ever think you may be offending somebody? Call me crazy but I think the answer is no.

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.

Gay was turned into a negative word because of homophobia. Once you understand this, you will understand why it is bad to do so.

Don't you think that using the term gay to mean bad, crap, shitty or any other derogatory term might offend people who are gay? We all know what you meant to say, we are debating its necessity and it's offensiveness.

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."
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?

Well I don't associate the word gay with homosexuals anymore when I use it. I mean it used to mean fun also.

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.

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. 

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

As the adage goes, if you can't beat em, join em! I honestly don't think somebody can be this dense, do you?

Your avatar = win by the way :p
