Complaints about Andrei Jikh and Theory11

Errrr.. correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure 'gay' (happy) and 'gay' (homosexual) are the exact same word, having the same origin. From what I know, the word evolved from 'being free from any trouble and worry', which is what 'gay' was also used for. I believe it was used for prostitutes before it eventually got associated with homosexuals.

Anyhow, back on topic, I still couldn't care less about Theory11 and Andrei giving a different meaning to the word 'cardistry' as, like I have said, 'cardistry' makes a whole lot more sense than 'XCM'. To be honest, I am actually glad that they had the definition of the word change if it was indeed their action rather than someone else's.

Not saying they should mislead people, but I just couldn't care less about it in this particular case. It's like saying "That's so gay" when there is absolutely nothing homosexual (or funny) going on. As for the false advertisements, I'm still totally against those.
