    doing this here because I don't want to derail in standard

    but, godDAMNIT. Look you motherfucker, a toon, is something you find in a designated section of Disney amusement parks.
    What we have in online games, are CHARACTERS, or possibly avatars.

    I bet you associate with those heathens that ask for pop instead of soda.

    Shut up and get the fuck out of my forum. I don't care if this topic/post may have been made elsewhere.

    There is much more to complain about in that sentence than the term "toon."

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I hate people who can't grasp the idea that the English language is always evolving.

    Fuck people who say "you" seriously it should be "thee". Stupid uneducated people ruining everything~

    Read a really good book about the evolution of languages call "The Unfolding of Language" by Guy Deutscher. Fascinating stuff.

    I should try that actually.

    In a month I'm taking two parts to a California state test that I need in order to be an English teacher here. The second test is all about how English evolved/how children learn languages/etc. I've been having to study a lot about how English has changed. Book would probably be interesting/help me.

    Yeah, using toon instead of avatar or pc or whatever the hell you want to refer to a character as is far from being the problem in that quote. And seriously, there is nothing wrong with language if people universally understand what you are talking about. Among the people who will read that quote, they will understand what toon is referring to, thus it is not in any way inappropriate.

    Hey, the mod said use "thee" instead of "you". Take the complaint to them.

    Wikipedia says you're a cunt and you should shut your cunt mouth.

    Toon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "# Avatar (computing), referring to the cartoon image of a player's digital avatar in MMORPGs"

    Get the fuck out.

    you subject vs you object vs you recipient of an action

    english is a grammatically poor language and doesn't reflect these things like say german and du vs dich
