Why should a discussion of games be serious?I use those words because liberals don't like them, and because I am weary of how liberals' narrow prejudices control our language.
No one thinks that a user of the word Nazi is not serious. Yet Liberals wrinkle their noses at the use of the word "commie," regarding it as vulgar and its user as obviously uncouth or ill-educated. Nazi is an abbreviation for "National Socialist," just as "commie" is an abbreviation for Communist. There's no reason, other than liberal-Left prejudice, to regard a user of "commie" as less "serious" a person than the user of "Nazi."
Anyway, I can't help but think of George C. Scott's character, General Buck Turgidson, in "Doctor Strangelove" when thinking of the Cold War. He was a robust user of the word, "commie."
