Is this offensive to you?

I would like to know of it is offensive to Americans when someone in a fireteam party says "Merica!" or refers to one as a "Murican". And not also when playing Destiny but also in this forum. I am not from the U.S. so I would like to know. Last night doing the raid one party member blew himself up by firing a rocket launcher directly inside a Titan's shield, and when he laughed someone else said "...that's not funny...it may be to you because you hail from Murica!"... and I thought that was funny but did not laugh because silence ensued. Everyone kept quiet about it. So is it an offense? The internet tells me Americans like to joke about it too, but I dont know if its the same as being called a bitch or an idiot. Any thoughts?

  • I think you can make anything offensive (depends on delivery) but as an American I don't find it offensive in the slightest. If someone blew themselves up in a bubble shield and said "Merica" - I would laugh. Helps if you add "F&@? Yeah!" at the end... :) People take a lot of stuff way to serious these days. As long as it's not intentionally hurtful you have to be able to poke fun at yourself a little.
