It's a homophobic slur either way, isn't it? It's just the level of your own intent to hurt that changes.Know this isn't related exactly to this incident.
But I have a question, if you say to a gay player:
"feck off ya fairy" is that then a homophobic slur?
However, what happens if ya say "feck off ya fairy" to a heterosexual player?
Genuinely curious. Same sentence, however can be construed different ways because of who it was said to? I know "people shouldn't talk shit" but it really is part of the game (talking shit, not racist shite or homophobic shite)
(I don't actually know too well how 'fairy' is used, but I'm assuming here that it's basically the same as other homophobic slurs.)
