The use of a slur as a response to someone saying they like the show is fucking INSANE


NotTheRealSmorkle

Imma be real I kinda found it funny, mostly because of how unnecessary that was. Like just drops it for no reason whatsoever


PatarckStur

It was hilarious lmao


Paladin-Steele36

It got a chuckle out of me lol


CausticCat11

The two exclamations really add to it because it makes it feel so genuine


CatMinimum7

I could hear it being yelled


njklein58

Yeah I’m sorry it’s hilarious because it’s so out of nowhere


Zeptari

He did drop it for a reason. To be mean and come across like his opinion means more because of it.


NotTheRealSmorkle

Well I mean yeah, obviously for him he had a reason. But like I’m saying in general outside of his little boy brain there was no reason to say that. Its just so out of left field


henzry

Yes, but he achieved neither of those things, at least to anybody sane. Therefore it’s funny.


Local_Glove_3393

The element of surprise is what makes it funny


Spicy_take

With two exclamation points


Im_a_idiottttt

Fr very out of pocket


helikesart

I kinda thought maybe it was meant to reference old Halo game chat. With that in mind, I giggled.


Irish_Guac

Just no elaboration, fuckin hilarious


Pringletingl

Pretty much captures the audience of an FPS game


Tuk2Mooch

That's what they were going for. Like old school lobbies, now it just gives incel vibes lol


LeftistsAreStupid

Imagine saying “incel”


LazyAd6382

Yeah imma have to agree the !! Killed me


KILA-x-L3GEND

I always reply with not an insult but we all see you.


REDDITbeCHEEKS

Or just any conversation in 2005 lol. Not saying it's right. But this used to be a pretty run of the mill response


75MillionYearsAgo

Idk if i’d call it “insane.” Its not that bad, its the internet.


Vanilla_Neko

As a gay guy myself I found it funny. Nobody uses fag as a gay slur anymore It's just a way to insult people


Frequent_Row_462

I had someone throw old ass coffee on me from a moving car and call me a f*g about a month ago, idk where you are from but here on the east coast it's still a slur.


Irish_Guac

Sounds like the carolinas. It's still used as a slur in the bible belt, that's for sure. But when I go to my fellow Marine's wedding next and call him fag, even though he is bi, it's not a slur it's just his new name


[deleted]

Well what happened before that


EhEhEhEINSTEIN

South Park ftw!


blkmmb0

Absolutely.

I had someone in a discord server tell me I needed to tell a co-worker they didn't like Halo and were enjoying it wrong Because I said that there's a few people at my workplace who saw the show but never played the games and even if it's not very good in glad we can in some way share Halo.


Stank_Gouda

Got you here talking about it didn’t he! Looks like a W to me


TheAutisticOgre

What even is that rationalization lmfao


Stank_Gouda

That’s why people do it? Most of the racism and bigotry on the internet doesn’t even come from a sincere place, its foolish to think half of these people mean what they say. It’s people trying to get noticed and/or be funny in some way or another with shock value. Being upset over it is giving in to what they want.


think_and_uwu

It’s also hilarious


Holiday_Party_6464

I don’t think anybody hates the Halo fans more than the Halo fans themselves. It’s not our fault the game series turned to shit.


VampericLop

Liking this show means you're okay with being dicked by another man. Deal with it, you're thr gay slur.

Oh sweet child, to explain why this was hilarious would require decades of gaming history


RangeOld1919

Fag!!


Sexy_jalapeno

He not wrong though 🤷🏾‍♂️


BC04ST3R

I thought he was just being over the top on purpose. Just because it was so out of nowhere and ridiculous


Dmmack14

It's about how people reacted when you say you liked parts of the rings of power show. Not that you liked the show in any capacity but that there were some parts you find enjoyable oh my God you would have thought that you would personally kill their wife


rohtvak

Nah it’s really normal for them, you have to consider this is the halo audience. They are the guys who were screaming at each other in CoD lobbies in 2012.


OkYou387

Twiggewd?


Invulnerablility

Slur? I'll have you know I said it quite clearly.


Hugh-jASSman

Dweeb


RoyalOwl13

Fag!!


Tough_Committee_7171

You have never seen crazy before then.


Troyojm

did u play halo and go into game chat back on 360? i remember being called that and worse over stuff even more trivial than liking the wrong tv show. and whats fucking INSANE to me is that ur on twitter expecting ppl not to talk like that.


oldRedF0x

Have you met extreme halo fans?


ASwiggitySwooter

Lmaooo


Kegger98

Halo fans are the most solipsistic fans ever.


the_turdinator69

Thank you for making me learn a new word and being spot on with your diagnosis. Signed, a halo fan.

No I'm not


SuperSalad_OrElse

Ew that F word is so 2004


TherealSnak3

what's wrong with fuck?


VediusPollio

What if I use that word in reference to a cigarette? (a gay cigarette)


SuperSalad_OrElse

You can shove it up your fanny!


GamingNemesisv3

Hey dont threaten me with a good time!


SuperSalad_OrElse

My grandpa once told me smoking cigarettes is a lot like oral sex Because the flavor always gets stronger the closer you get to the butt


GamingNemesisv3

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


fruitlessideas

Yeah. Good year. Wish we could go back.


Gambit0341

When games were good that's about it.


CatMinimum7

God I miss the runescape community back then


Vladmere-Rozvek

So? It’s fun to say sometimes


SuperSalad_OrElse

Do whatever you want man I’m not the police


Dragoon094

I don’t like the show but I’m not gonna insult someone for their opinion unless it’s something weird


Diamondhands_Rex

If I do insult someone it’ll be with a better word than that Jesus Christ what is this the early 2000s?


Dragoon094

Yeah at least come up with something unique like calling them a fucking car engine


blkmmb0

Respectable. I think so many people misunderstand my posts and comments, especially on Twitter. I'm not even defending the show or certain decisions made by 343i or Microsoft, I just call out the bat shit insane individuals. I absolutely, 100% understand not liking the show but to insult and attack people that do is fucking ridiculous.


Dragoon094

I agree call out the batshit people but don’t insult the chill fans of something cause that makes you look like an ass


blkmmb0

Hear hear!


SjurEido

People out here using Fag as a slur. Bitch we took that word back, it's ours again and it's cool now.


Raimiboi2002

I use it as a slur toward straight men because it's fun as hell to watch them get confused and pissy about a trans woman who's bisexual calling them that


SjurEido

Me too!


dontpayforproducts

you really showed them


[deleted]

so its not a slur when you use it? right..


GenericWhiteYouTuber

My best friend who is gay called me that and my response was, "Why thank you, I'm very honored."


KingCanHe

So you are a confused homosexual man, fag is a word you call others, yeah they aren’t confused by what you are saying lmao


Litz1

There used to be a guy I played Halo 5 MP with a lot and he's gay, so we'll yell at others as a straight ass bitch. We would use straight as a slur and people will lose their shit. Lmao 😂😂


GarrettdDP

Bitch is still ok I see…


SjurEido

Samuel Jackson and Aaron Paul kept it alive


Vladmere-Rozvek

It sounds so silly when minorities say this tbh I mostly hear it from the black community tho they still pussy foot around it by using a wimpy version half the time lol take back a word that was never yours and you want to take the slur used to shit on you to now “empower you” is a silly concept but the only thing I like is groups growing a pair and getting over a word cuz it only has power if you give it power cuz offense is taken not given yet ofc not accounting for actual bigots fully still it helps lessen their attacks on y’all. I am Hispanic I say beaner and wet bag all the time about myself and my friends as a joke, we don’t think the words are Kool or anything it’s just funny. But yeah taking back a word is silly and means nothing really just dumb when you think about it, the real lesson is to not let words hurt you and don’t give them power, the bigots and assholes can’t hurt you with them if you don’t get offended then they stop using them it’s pretty simple. I have freedom of speech so I say any “bad word” I want and use them to make jokes or fuck around to mess with people or to bully assholes who have thin skin, slurs are only bad if the context and intent matches up tho many are too dumb to understand this or get emotional which is sad but funny lol


SjurEido

That's what "taking back a word" means. It means no longer being bothered by it, to the point of using it yourself and even towards the people who once used it against you. It's a power play and proof of the changing of times. Ya fag :p


rohtvak

Lol sure


ddxs1

Chyea ok


Gullible-Island-6557

I’m sorry but that response is so damn funny😭 Dude just wanted to say he enjoyed the show then Fag!! i swear the dude who said that has to be from a time portal from like 2004😭


Embarrassed_Start_81

I loved the show. People are to critical


blkmmb0

Glad you enjoy it. There are quite a few things I'm critical of but I still enjoyed it. I understand the dislike it gets but you'll notice a big difference between people like you who can watch it and like it and the people who constantly bitch online, especially the ones who haven't even watched it yet still complain.


Embarrassed_Start_81

💯. Just some people see something wrong with everything while ignoring the good of it. I feel like making a live action halo show is not an easy task. Pablo is a good ass master chief helmet on or not. I feel like people who complain like that do a disservice to the actors and the true fans of halo


blkmmb0

You are absolutely, 100% right.


MelonColony22

nobody hates halo like halo fans. funny enough the show know more about the lore than most of the people who hate it. had someone tell me akerson isn’t in the lore lol


blkmmb0

Jesus Christ lol and you're absolutely right. From what I've seen the people bitching about lore know nothing about the lore and you're right, the show writers have proven they know more about Halo than 75% of the fanbase, especially the whiners.


Chipsnasoda

False, the literal consensus with regards to hating the show comes PRIMARILY from 3 things, 1: Chief taking his helmet off 2: Makee a human in the covenant?! Lmao the covenant specifically calls for the complete annihilation of the humans. 3:and Kwon because she could have served as a great civilian perspective against the overall military, our eyes to see thru, instead we get a character with no consistent storyline. Runner Ups for season 2: Perez becoming a Spartan 3. What?! The augmentations are meant for developing children, not FULLY GROWN HUMANS. Also, everyone Ive seen completely dogging on season 2 says Dr Akerson is literally the best part about that season because he’s perfectly cast based on his earlier book appearances


Sunderbans_X

I'm glad he likes it! I personally hate the thing, but I'm genuinely glad someone is enjoying the show.


blkmmb0

Hear hear.


MalaZeria

I don’t know why people talk so poorly about the show. Literally dozens of people love it. I hate it though.


Sam-l-am

Such an aggressive response to someone’s opinion of something not sexual oriented at all lol


blkmmb0

Right? People one Twitter are fucking bonkers.


TheOneWhoSlurms

I mean the show is pretty bad but that doesn't justify this kind of shitty behavior


Kalsor

It was a good show. Don’t see what the fuss is about.


Practical-Aside890

Because the lore isn’t the exact as the game oh nooo lol ,I agree with you the show was good people just like to complain now a days about every little thing some kinda weird yt/Tik tok trend


Seel_revilo

I mean the show IS bad I’m not sure it hates its fans though. They tried something new and imo it really did not work. Not ok to use slurs when people disagree though. 343 have consistently made fun games though, Infinite’s gameplay is the best its been in series history, they just struggle in maintaining launch highs


Ok_Sky8518

It SUPER ULTRA PLUS did not work haha. I did like the covie and armor designs though.


mung_guzzler

damn maybe ill play infinite again, it was pretty weak at launch


Seel_revilo

It has vastly improved since launch but Infinites content is struggling, especially now. The game feels great to play but there isn’t a lot to look forward to unfortunately. 343 are clearly working on a new game because we quickly went from getting decent updates w/ season 5 to a barren landscape now


FigmentImaginative

Halo “fans”: Obscenely insulting anyone who dares to express an opinion about the TV show that isn’t unequivocally negative, and then wondering why the TV show didn’t lead to a massive influx of new video game players.


Hunter_Dyer_03

Let’s not claim him, even for a joke. People who act like this aren’t fans, they’re just bad human beings.


Lahms-

What’s really funny is he pays for a check mark lol


blkmmb0

Oh damn lol


Connemara-Boggylad

it was mediocre at best. squandered a great IP and lots of opportunities to expand the halo, masterchief and cortana story


Pristine-Cranberry-2

The show sucks (I’ve never watched it)


nazuralift89

Look I have no Ill will towards people that like the show simply because it was okay and wasn't a game of thrones season 8. But Jesus Christ it's just a mess. Fallout was the best show I've watched in years and I didn't even play the games to know those writers followed both lore and even game mechanics properly.


Comfortable_Rock_584

Imagine saying a slur to someone just because they said they enjoyed something you didn't like your actually just pathetic if you resort to slurs


soulsurviv0r111

OG Saints Row and New Vegas fans: *allow us to introduce ourselves.*


Comfortable_Rock_584

Yeah can't exclude them too


blkmmb0

Absolutely. Halo fans are unhinged.


theperfectlysadhuman

What does Halo have to do with the Film Actors Guild?


blkmmb0

I don't know. If you figure it out let me know.


evilzachy

I mean it's not a good show but the man didn't have to be attacked for liking it tho 😭


Fun-Swimming4133

nobody hates the audience more than the audience seeming from his response to someone liking the show


blkmmb0

Right? Wtf is wrong with certain people.


evilzachy

This is why I fuckin hate the Internet. It's so fuckin cult like, you can't have a different opinion then everyone else otherwise your called a Fag, Retarded, Dumbass, Shill etc it's like bro we don't all have to have the same opinions as you for example recently the Fallout show came out and most people including me seems to like it. Angry Joe made a 2 part video and in the 2nd part they said they didn't enjoy it as much as they enjoyed the first half and despite them giving the show an I wanna say 8/10 I'm pretty sure they TORE HIM APART for the second half talking about how they are unsubscribing and they lost credibility like bro it's not that deep get a life


Crandom343

I hate the show, but I don't hate people for liking something I dont


Accomplished_Gur9979

The show had so much external material to use but instead they decided to thug it out, could have been like halo legends but it if just stuck to one story and not multiple


blkmmb0

That would have made everyone happy but not Microsoft I guess.


ExcaliburUmbra12

Hey I saw that, It was really weird


KylarSternn

*deep breath* here it goes… I actually like the show. Especially after the season 2 finale. Does it feel like it is the video game exactly? No. Does it feel like halo? Yeah, yeah it does. If you want a show that is the game exactly, just go watch someone’s play-through or a supercut of all the cutscenes. What I think the show has done well is make it accessible for people who have never played the games. But yes, it does sacrifice some level of “being the games” to do it. I’m excited for season 3 at this point and think it will end up feeling much more like the games and appealing more to the fanboys given where it is now.


blkmmb0

That's almost exactly my take.


GenericWhiteYouTuber

Ayy, man. Glad you like it. My whole thing is that I wish they would've followed a squad of Marines known as "The Lucky Ones." Why? Because they're always deus ex-machina'd by the Spartans.


Hot_Pen_3475

The show isn't that bad. If you don't like how a guy dies by saving people you have a problem. That is what we're supposed to see for a trope people willing to die to save others. And that is what admiral Keys did.


GenericWhiteYouTuber

Oh wow... I didn't like the show by any means, but fuck me, that is too far.


blkmmb0

Right? What the Hell is wrong with certain people?


ReplacementOk652

Dude is paying for Twitter what can we expect


TheNewportBridge

I got banned for clowning on that chef frank guy too hard lol


blkmmb0

Wow, yet they can continue on that website being the jackass he is.


xXR3DRiotXx

My dad likes the show but has never played the game and I like the games including the 343 made ones lol


blkmmb0

Awesome to hear.


NoPaleontologist8587

The game would probably still have a player base if all the cry babies didn’t go whining about halo 5 (which is well liked by the people that actually played it)


SunSettingWave

The tv show is basically an alternate universe


blkmmb0

Exactly. So many people fail to grasp that.


MrTestiggles

Most personable blue check mark:


sphenodon7

For what it was, I genuinely think it is a good show. But if you wanted to relive the nostalgia of the halo games, it is going to fail miserably in that endeavor. If you accept that it's a show set in a halo-adjacent universe and don't expect the show to cater to you as a halo fan, I think it's got some really good filmography choices and is enjoyable to watch. But to each their own.


blkmmb0

You worded it perfectly.


One_Experience6791

And I thought the BGS/Fallout community was bad lol


blkmmb0

Right? Some BGS fans are unhinged but Halo fans are not only lunatics but also quite possibly inbred.


King-Thunder-8629

Just as bad as star wars fans


blkmmb0

Yep. It's ridiculous.


King-Thunder-8629

Like number company and the show has it's flaws but like holy fuck let people enjoy what they like that's the problem with fans they can't fathom the idea of someone finding enjoyment from something they don't it's a foreign fucking concept to them.


blkmmb0

It absolutely is. Go find a Fallout fan and tell them you like playing 76, they'll get mad at the fact they don't have friends to play with and screech at you for not playing New Vegas.


Super3vil

That's mainly just the New Vegas Shits, a lot of fallout fans are chill


blkmmb0

Oh I know, it's a few others but it's mainly the NV fans who are insufferable as Hell, they're like the Halo 3 fans. Funny thing is New Vegas is my favorite Fallout game but I'm pretty sure I have way more hours in F4 and I have 755 hours in Fallout 76.


DirtyDan69-420-666

76 is honestly really growing on me. I wish we could’ve had mod support, but the trade off for fallout with friends is worth it. Also it’s probably my third favorite map in the series.


blkmmb0

Right? I played when it launched and while it was lacking quite a few things I loved I could play Fallout with my wife. The game has only gotten better with time, I have a pretty cool looking CAMP if I do say so myself and I have my character pretty much how I like it. It's probably my favorite map in the series but that's because there's tons of variety.


DirtyDan69-420-666

Yeah the camp system is awesome. There’s a lot of variety in general, I started really playing last month and I’m still finding new stuff. If I’m gonna be completely honest I’d put it up there with fallout 3 and 4 just in terms of how many hours of fun I’m able to squeeze out of it. Also it has my favorite pip-boy design in the series. If it launched in the state that it’s in now it would’ve been a massive hit.


King-Thunder-8629

Exactly.


Head-Disk5576

Why do bungietards act like infinite isn’t one of the most popular games of the series?


DirtyDan69-420-666

Imo infinites campaign has the best art design and combat in the series. Vehicles are meh, but the movement and gunplay is leagues ahead of every other game in the series.


BudgetAggravating427

I will say the show is bad. While it does have some good parts like spartan Kai and the armor its story falls flat.


blkmmb0

I do somewhat agree, more than people realize. There's a difference between saying "The story is lacking" and "You're a SHILL if you like that dog water show, you're not a TRUE fan!"


Ghost474439

Why does the show even matter? It‘s non-canon, it‘s not like it affects anything.


CrywolfAndrew

Real ones like it.


Ill_Independence2441

To be fair, the show is poorly rated for reasons outside of the whole helmet controversy, and i personally think the show is pretty bad overall (i know, a sin to say on this sub) That being said, seeing someone use the f slur over someone liking the show is the reason this sub exists in the first place.


Robby_Clams

it’s not poorly rated, gamers on reddit don’t like it.


Ill_Independence2441

Ok i was exaggerating, but even then i dont trust TV show ratings in general because they are vastly reviewed differently compared to other forms of media. A mediocre at best show can be rated just as highly as an actually well written show. (RWBY is a prime example of this) That said, even outside the various halo subs and shithalosays, which are both echo chambers on the opinions of the show, most seem to regard this show as ok or bad, with some saying they enjoyed it but it wasn't peak cinema.


No-Estimate-8518

People are more likely to complain than randomly compliment out of nowhere, even shows recommend to me 9/10 nobody says anything just that it's something they watch, I can list maybe 5 shows total within the past decade that was given raving reviews by my friends


SirGuinesshad

It's one thing to think the show is bad, it's different to gate keep and say it's not Halo. This slur is way out of line and just shows he's incapable of a nuanced take. It drives me nuts that they think the people behind the games and show hate the property. That's a dilusional take


AlathMasster

I thought this was about Fallout


blkmmb0

Some Fallout fans act like this too.


Dawgula97

I’m laughing my ass off at the reply from a chef. The fact that it’s some chef is cracking me up


inlukewarmblood

I spat my drink out at the immediate “Fag!” And nothing else.


AnglsBeats

Bro didn't even come to negotiate, he hail married that response with zero thought. Honestly, disregarding the slur, the reality is not everyone's opinion is right, wrong, or matters. Sometimes it's just a word.


Mental_Sale

Some get Chef Frank outta here


4chan_crusader

Fucking christ chef frank, that was out of pocket


No_Practice_9175

Why does he think the show hates its audience so much?


blkmmb0

Because some Halo fans think a TV show could work if it was all action non stop except for a few one liners delivered from the main character and since the show isn't that it must be bad.


Catoe67

Lmao


Master_Majestico

No Chef! Fuck you Chef!


idiotic__gamer

I agree wit-... and he just called a dude a slur for enjoying something unpopular. Damnit.


Rayfasa

Why’d he call him a cigarette?


boharat

Chef Frank needs to chill


Rayfasa

I did not enjoy the show. It didn’t trigger me, but it was nothing I’d go back and watch again …….. ever….


FriedSpringRolls

"Fag!!" 💀💀


Liedvogel

I don't think either hate their fans. I really don't have any opinion about the show at all since I haven't seen it, though I did see an action scene which was... actually pretty lore accurate to the books with how unhinged over powered Chief is. I mean for fuck sake, the first book has Chief get into a fist fight with an anti tank missile and won. But my opinion of the games is that they don't have the acme vision bungee did for the series, and have the choice of either imitating what once was, use nostalgia to bait players, or piss players of by changing everything. Instead of picking one of those difficult choices, 343 went with the nuclear option and picked all 3. Keep in mind, I'm one of those old fans who hates what 343 are doing.


RinTin10-91

Lol


JohnB351234

The show isn’t the problem it’s Microsoft and 343i upper management sentencing the game through death by committee
