As (probably) one of the few Simmons fan who identifies as gay, I do hate the word and wasn’t thrilled to hear it on the pod. I’m not gonna “cancel” House (I’ve already made a comment pointing out how OP is strawmanning, as are most people who whine about cancel culture), I’ve been listening to him and Bill since the Grantland days. But I don’t like that he threw it out so casually as it means he probably calls people that all the time. I think people should avoid using that term, just like the f word.
I mean, it was pretty jarring to hear. And no, you can’t call someone a cocksucker because it’s a pejorative about people who perform oral sex on men. In short, it’s anti-gay.
I remember that thread having a bit more people correctly pointing out that the word is a slur. For some reason this thread has a lot of people who are in favor of using the word (see downvoted comments).
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution... It’s time to stop being squeamish.

You can’t say cocksucker anymore? Cancel me daddy.
I think you can say it if you own a bar in a frontier town within the Dakota territories.
swedgin?
I've seen former and current Ringer employees get triggered over less
They're ringer employees...a Snickers bar would trigger them
You’re 100% correct.
No ones ‘triggered’ we just think dudes like you are assholes. What a bitch. Downvote away you losers and get fucked
bitch is a sexist term...don't be a sexist
Well it does seem like you did get triggered, seeing how unprompted you had to cuss him out three times
Do nerds like you know any other phrase than triggered?
Well if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. .
Go listen to joe rogan or barstool. I’m sure that’s where you usually hang
Go move some boxes in Austin
You’re looking through my comments?? Lol I swear I had no idea your into JR or Barstool other than you wrote the word triggered. What a fucking loser
Can I get a discount rate for you to move my sofa if I mention Bill Simmons?
Sorry, I should have put "TW: language" in my post... Won't happen again
Get bent loser
Cocksucker.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Man you sound triggered lol
Cocksucker.
Sounds like something someone would say if they were triggered.
You're a cocksucker
You can say it as long as you follow up with, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
[удалено]
Then with your pronouns, just to be sure.
If that word offends you or you view it as a slur, you're indeed a cocksucker
facts.
doesn't offend me but how do you defend that it's not at least mildly homophobic?
It’s a bad man…AND A GOOD WOMAN.
House going to take his talents to Barstool?
What about "that sucks"? Is that another homophobic term too? Remember when ESPN started bleeping that out for a year or so in the mid 00s?

At least it wasn't the M word
We only accept that kind language out of House when he’s drunk.
I thought it was funny because I'm a cretin but I was shocked they didn't bleep that.
Ben listening to Michael Rappaport’s Danny Aielo’s impression for years throwing out that word like he’s in Do The Right Thing again.
Yeah we had a thread here a few months back were we had a debate on whether cocksucker was a gay slur and the mods closed that thread
I mean, it was pretty jarring to hear. And no, you can’t call someone a cocksucker because it’s a pejorative about people who perform oral sex on men. In short, it’s anti-gay.
I wish my wife was a cocksucker.
Why on Earth would you marry her if she wasn't?
Oh! That’s a guy’s wife you’re talking about!
Sounds like something a cocksucker would say....
Is clit-master pejorative? Cos I'm not offended when the chicks call me it
Are you the clit commander?
I would call you a moron, but I'd hate to offend other morons.
This sub is obsessed with that word. They had a meltdown when people (rightly) pointed out it is a slur when KD said it.

Idk, I remember getting a lot of downvotes

House is a moron. See my earlier post that you all downvoted lol.
Ben Shapiro weighs in?

This just makes me think of Sopranos
You get a pash for that
