What is his problem again? If he really needed to have it in his app that his is has a huge dick then I am sure there would be another part where he could have added that with out being offending.
I have the exact same issue! I'm on a few anonmemes that borrowed things away from 4chan, and one of the main problems they kept is that people are namefags/samefags/etc. I just try to not use it personally and completely avoid it off the meme. (And the meme in question is decidedly not homophobic, other than that one problem - I think the straight people are actually outnumbered.)
admittedly the *fag issue does become rather amusingly (imo) recursive when you get to the point where you're describing yourself as a homosexual participant in the discussion
I have actually typed the words "gayfag here" and then suddenly realized how ridiculous a phrase that was
I'm definitely guilty of using "retard" and gendered insults. I'm trying to call myself on it each time by stopping the conversation and apologizing, then rephrasing. It's made me far more aware of what words I'm using.
I'm always amazed at people who fight for the "right" to use racist slurs or say "fag" around people. I guess I don't understand what's so difficult about using other words if you know those ones hurt people. :/
*THE GREATEST SHAMEFACE* "Retard" is, like, my Problem Word. My father's brother has fetal alcohol syndrome and I've had a lot of foster siblings with disabilities and yet somehow I have spent the last 28 years completely unable to cure myself of popping off the word "retard" as an insult. It comes out of my mouth and five minutes later the "you should not have said that" kicks in. It's awful.
My worst habit in the area of language is probably the way I throw around "crazy" and "insane" indiscriminately, and bandy the word "schizophrenic" about inappropriately as well. (As in, using it to mean "obnoxiously inconsistent".) I feel particularly bad about the last one because my uncle has schizophrenia, but it's so tempting because nothing else is as concisely evocative.
Also I use "dude" as if it were gender-neutral, but only in a third-person sense.
(I actually sort of like the song, albeit in a guilty pleasure sort of way that means I really shouldn't admit to it. I have a weakness for terrible, terrible 80s hits.)

(And considering that he called the Spy a "homo gay"...)

Dude is one I use a lot, though mostly as an exclamation. Like "whoa".

I don't use "bipolar", but that's really only because it's an arbitrary pet peeve. And I use "dude" as an exclamation a lot too.
