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?

Huh... I'm American, and I don't find it offensive... Obviously I can't speak for all Americans, but... Most of the time when I see people say "'Murica", it's usually other Americans. In my experience we're pretty good-humored about our own cultural narcissism. And really, of all the things to get offended about, why that? Now, making fun of our health care system is offensive because that is a real problem for us that is cause for a lot of anger between our political parties. But "Murica!"? I'll laugh right along with you about that.
