      Every scene where someone wrinkles Troy’s brain is great. That man might be the only person who got smarter at Greendale.

      I’m still appalled that people say “that’s gay” as an insult and ultimate put down. I know it goes on constantly -we’re still that far from being human to each other.

        Some of Community’s jokes haven’t aged super well. But that’s rather inoffensive compared to what other shows rolled with back then

          I’d argue it’s positive to mock that kind of thinking. Especially so considering the time.

          It’s super offensive to me, akin to saying black people should all be lynched. Equating something that is dumb with “being gay” is the same as putting men down by equating them with being “female,” as when men call other men “she” as a put down. It’s not just offensive but dangerously mentally ill and absolutely totally disgusting beyond all words.

                No, it’s very much justified in my books. Who am I to tell you what to find offensive or not? It’s very much subjective at the end of the day. As a queer person myself, I do agree with you that language as a whole should be striving to be as inclusive as possible and using words like “gay” as an insult definitely doesn’t help. Wasn’t insinuating that I find their using it that way ok.

                I see people using the r-word as an insult on here quite often, for example, and am always happy to point it out and pick a fight. So no worries. I get you.

                  I get a little over-passionate about my responses. Sometimes I feel like it’s the only way people actually listen, if they can hear the anger in the words. I totally agree about language being as inclusive as possible, or at least being used in non-offensive ways when possible.

                  It’s why I keep pointing out when people say “that’s dumb and so gay” or when guys call other guys “she” as a put down. I hate to say it, but it does show that men really think of being a woman as in inferior kind of human being.

                  I appreciate your thoughtful replies!

    I have four of them, they know. Any small animal that gets in their yard has about five seconds to escape before being eaten.
