So the OMGPOP craze begins. I've only played Draw My Thing, and it's super addicting. I stayed up until 3ish just playing that haha. My brover even joined and it's actually pretty fun playing the same game!
A person I know, IMed me and asked what OMGPOP was. I explained and was so excited to share and you know what response I get?
"gay"
"gay"
"gay"
"gay"
"gay"
"gay"
Wow. Honestly, I was taken back. Was that person calling me gay or the game gay? It doesn't matter. That person used the word gay in a negative context. AWW, ARE YOU SERIOUS? REALLY NOW. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT? A wise cousin of mine once said something in the lines of, "don't use gay as a synonym for stupid." Gay does not mean stupid, dumb, or lame. Gay is an identity or an adjective, not a slang word. On top of that, the fact that that person immediately reacted negatively to something he or she does not know of is just plain ignorance. Hmm..kinda reminded me of that time one of Jbendo's friend said Twitter was stupid or whatever.
I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but it really shocked me. Maybe it's because someone hasn't called me or said anything thaaat negative to me in awhile. But that is not an excuse.
Man, class is going to start and I didn't even get to read my OMG! Yahoo.
