Acronyms, christians and overreaction: It's what's for breakfast.
Quick, what’s the only thing better than a wank over the acronyms OMG and OMFG?

When the wanking involves little hats made out of pixels.

I come bearing wank from the fiery cesspool of splooge (Mmm…mixed metaphor) that is Gaia Online. Yes, I should be posting this to Gaia_wank, but it’s all cold and dead over there. So it goes into the warm embrace of Otf_wank (But I will move this if everyone takes umbrage to the situation. I just thought more people would appreciate the joy of little hat-wank)



Choco Hearts is offended by the negative connotations that the OMG and OMFG hats have

Aaaaand the idiots start to flame him for his opinion. Such is Gaia, folks.

Some highlight posts:

That first idiot continues to write a winner:

..I still think your a loser trying to make every holiday racist against another religion. Like that bitch that pulled a 'prayer is racist' and banned it from schools.

Oh gosh golly darn... (I would have said "God dammit.....", but I knew you would be offended)

You are offended by the internet. The worlds source of porn, how to make meth, an forums.

Lighten up.


Con brings us some fresh splooge:

I believe religion is part of the world's biggest problems.

We'd all live better if there was no religion.

Really.


Shadow of Vaugner obviously forgets that he’s in the Questions and Feedback forum when he makes this remark:

I respect christians..i may not be one my self...but let it go..gaia isnt trying to piss anyone off..thier just trying to be cute..and noone is telling you to like the item...it could mean Oh my gosh , oh my goodness

But no..noone ever looks at it that way
they always think someone is trying to say something horrid

well christian or not i think thies hats are clever, and if you have a real problem...dont pleague up with this crap, send in an e-mail and if they realy care so much to change the name..youll hear back from them.

It isnt a matter of what the letters stand for. some people just bitch to bitch, well if your gonna be mad might as well blame it on some pixels and a few letter right?

Get the fuck over it. So how come your not griping to get rid of the xmas event because it left out the jews ands pagans and muslims, AND LETS NOT FORGET the devil tails and horns because they encourage young gains to stray form the paths of salvation into the vial tempting hands of satin to become his worshippers. THOU SHALL NOT BE STUPID.

And I stop here, because it’s all too painful for me to keep transcribing. However, parody threads are made, idiots crawl out of the woodwork, there’s an argument on the word “Fuck” and if it fits within Gaia’s PG-13 rating, and first-class Gaian wankers make special guest appearances.

And for my personal two cents on the issue: Everyone’s overreacting. While I don’t think that the acronyms OMG and OMFG are OFFENSIVE, the posts make it seem like he was frothing at the mouth. He actually was really nice about his opinion and never really stooped to flaming.

Wish I could say that about everyone in the thread.
