    No need for the homophobic description but that aside, I did play W3 at launch and while it definitely had serious issues, cyberpunk is truly a benchmark in disastrous launches.

      There’s nothing inherently gay about sucking dick. And yeah, Witcher 3 was definitely buggy on launch, particularly for consoles what with the crashing, and while it was marginally more stable on PC (sounds familiar, right?), there was a massive controversy about them silently downgrading PC graphics between the trailers and launch.

        That’s not the problem. You are describing it as a bad thing. Are you trying to say that people “sucking the Witcher 3’s dick ” are doing a good thing? Of course not. Which is why people tell guys “suck my dick” as an insult. It’s almost exclusively men saying it to men. You can’t possibly argue it’s anything less than a pejorative statement.

        It’s a homophobic and/or sexist insult. Plain and simple. A cursory google search would show you that.

          It’s normally a desirable thing being done to an undeserving party, which is exactly the colloquial use of the metaphor and why it’s used in a negative context. I don’t have a problem with sucking dick, personally.

            It’s not about you that’s the entire point. It’s about how the phrase is used socially. People call other people “retarded” and don’t “mean anything by it” but I think most people agree it’s just not ok to say because of the broader issue. You clearly are not a stupid person. I know you know what I am talking about. Stop trying to win an online argument and think about the people around you for just a second.

              Honestly, I think it’s a bigger problem to be stigmatising oral sex like this. But you’re entitled to your opinion, and no hard feelings.

              EDIT: I should add that an unrelated metaphor, saying something/someone “sucks dick”, does apply to your argument, and I would agree that it’s disparaging. Perhaps you’re confusing your fellatio metaphors.
