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?

No its not offensive nor is it just for doing something "violent and destructive" it's not something everyone (especially if they're not from the states) will get and it is rather hard to explain I guess. But if used to deliberately insult someone for being American then yeah I'm sure the fact that they are being a target for insults alone, just because they're American, will make it offensive.
