And I mean that in the most non-pejorative, neutered, sanitized, non-preferential, PC-est way possible.

Part of the blame must also lie in me, since I failed to notice this bit, when editing Kenny's post. Kenny as the author and everyone of us in the admin would like to apologize, if these references have insulted you - we promise to be more careful in the future. Kenny has also agreed that I can personally go and change the offensive gay references more neutral - I'll start doing this at once.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-23755051650471953692015-01-11T17:23:53.961+11:002015-01-11T17:23:53.961+11:00I'd like to second this.

So I have never even considered it to be a pejorative. It's as strange a notion to me as saying that the word "cat" is a racist slur and "dog" is a misogynistic term.<br /><br />I'd have said that the west is still pretty womanly/manly to me if they sounded better, but it doesn't roll off the tongue as smooth as the word "gay".Kenny McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553499727945099493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-55921358687368764482015-01-06T05:59:40.992+11:002015-01-06T05:59:40.992+11:00"west is still pretty gay to me"

'Printer' comes from the days where a surname was determined by profession - Miller, Smith.. Printer. Mr. Printer comes from a long line of printers, dating all the way back to the Bronze age where his great(nth number) grandfather carved stone into little read newspapers that were far too heavy to carry around.<br /><br />Stealing items has been around since Adventure - and I'm fairly sure there are a few other games that have NPCs that get miffed at you having their property, causing you to have to steal it again (though nothing else comes directly to mind).Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-52561486630482553272015-01-05T02:17:53.500+11:002015-01-05T02:17:53.500+11:00I enjoyed the marathon!
