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?

  • Say what you want as long as you mean for it to be funny because making a joke is an [i]attempt[/i] at something difficult, and failing is a huge part of it. And even if it gets a laugh someone's going to still be "offended" but that's all of what being offended should be is just "someone got offended" end of story. The only difference is that 20 years ago being offended didn't mean jack to anybody besides your mother.
