Using sarcasm on the internet should be punishable by death.

That sounds like a marvelous idea, and I support it wholeheartedly.  In fact, I will write to my congresscritters this very day and relay your insightful and well thought out proposal.

Note: that's not sarcasm, it's just a very blatant lie.

Getting closer to something sane. As always, I recommend georgia as the official sarcasm font.

For those who haven't figured it out yet, that chart was made by a /pol/ack or a /v/irgin. The hint was jew being privilege.

None of those are slurs by my count. That's how people from /pol/ and /v/ refer to themselves. Unless you mean jew, but I don't think that is a slur.

Just because I sometimes refer to myself as a F** doesn't mean it's not offensive.

"People on 4chan call themselves that" is not evidence against something being a slur. In fact, it's most likely the opposite of that.

Polack is a slur on the Polish, I'm pretty sure.

Virgin is a slur on children, of course.

Is it still a slur if you're an adult? I ask because of a friend, you see...

Yes, it's still a slur if you're an adult.

I'm also a virgin, but that's not the one I was, y'know, objecting to.

Yeah, I figured it was the other one you were objecting to (and I believe Descan is right as to what it means), but the "virgin = slur" thing surprised me. I never saw it that way.

That tripped me up for a moment as well. I've never heard "virgin" used as a slur, even among the perpetually drunken 20-something man-sluts that judge people based on, to put it crudely, how much they drink and fuck.
