You didn't think calling a photoshopped picture of Freddie Mercury "hungry gay with aids" that bad?

[S_A_P]

I think its crass, tasteless, offensive and annoying. However, with the troll filter on, I cant really get that upset about it...

[roc]

In the grand scheme of internet trolling? It barely registers.

By 4chan standards, it's positively noble.

Of course, anything starting with "by 4chan standards" has got to be pretty depraved already.

No, as a swede i dont this this is that bad, I believe that gay people has the same rights as all other humans and I believe this is a common swedish mindset. Sweden is a highly secularized and liberal country in the subjects of gay and religion. These comments on jews and gays are just inflammatory and made to make page views. As outsiders that have a more sensitive view on gay and religion these views may be offensive. but to many swedes these comments are recognized as attention craving and irrelevant.

What exactly is bad about it? It seems as if it should be bad, but if you think about it, why?

[chrischen]

It's either because the guy died from AIDS so the comment is insensitive, or the OP is homophobic and thinks calling people gay is always used as a derogatory.

It's probably the former though.

For traditional media, it's horrendous. For what comes out of the internet on a daily basis, it's banal.

[kalmsy]

It was pretty funny? I laughed. Might be a scandinavian thing.

[ktizo]

Is either stupidity, insanity, tasteless and surrealistic trolling, or brilliant satire. And I've got no idea which at this point.

[fghh45sdfhr3]

Always bet on stupidity.

[berntb]

Sweden is certainly one of the most politically correct countries around; there is just one "good" way of thinking.

In short, just another stupid moral panic in Sweden. Nothing to see here, move along.
