    Dear Internet Asshats,

    The defense of "It's just something we do around friends!" when you say something bigoted doesn't work WHEN YOU'RE IN PUBLIC! Yes, fancy that, the Internet is public. The presence of your friend doesn't suddenly make it a joke among friends.

    Nor does the defense of "I wouldn't say it in front of [oppressed minority]!" work when you have no way of knowing if those screen names are black, gay women who just finished converting to Judaism, or idiot frat boys like yourself.

    And finally, using bigoted words in public is not being fun and "friendly". There is nothing friendly about potentially offending people during their fun time.

    Thanks,
    The woman you assumed was a man
