STATING THE OBVIOUS

Dartmouth’s Anti-Gay Vandal Has Embarrassingly Bad Spelling

The recent appearance of anti-gay graffiti on the gender-neutral floor of a Dartmouth College residence hall has one student columnist wondering whether the public use of slurs is to blame. But what we’re wondering is why anti-gay vandals have such horrible spelling habits; especially at a college.

“Faggz suck dick?” For shame.

compare / contrast the way Dartmouth handled this display of bigotry to the way that Williams college handled a similar display of racial bigotry. The racial bigotry was treated much more seriously that the anti-gay bigotry.

Maybe they were going for leetspeak or fanciful urban spelling, but it seems they simply ran out of space and shortened it to FAGGZ.

Why do they always state the obvious? We suck dick. Um, ya. Well some of us do. My ex didn’t, which is why he became my ex. I like it when they’re at least creative. I went to a gay campground last summer and in the morning when we left the park some phober wrote on the road just outside the gates, in large block letters: ASS JAM 2011. That’s a bit more interesting that the obvious.

I love the irony of Queerty, and especially Daniel Villarreal, commenting on somebody else’s misspelling.

Is this even an insult? It’s more a statement of fact. Maybe he’s a biology major who just learned the way it all works and he’s excited to share the news?

Hell, maybe he’s just advertising in case people need to know where to go for a good sucking?

Make that high-school student, rather than “biology major” – you don’t have to be a student at Dartmouth to vandalize a building there.
