Title's "Homosexual", cause DToid censored "Faggot" out.
If you seek to avoid my horrid wall of text:
Long story short, people need to quit bitching.
Anyways, the honorable Jim's article on the rather FAT Princess game, or if you want to get all accurate and specific, Jim's article on the rather opinionated FAT lady's article on the FAT Princess, y'know made me think 'bout some shit I wanted to talk about.
(See what I did there, I made the word "fat", rather, fat.)
Basically, chill out, your life isn't that big of a deal, there's billions of rather similar ones running concurrently to yours and countless ones that've come before and that'll come after. So relax.
But if you really can't get over yourself and your opinions, occasionally, take a look in the mirror and fuckin' deal with what you see there.
Thinkin' 'bout this shit also reminded me of a bit of a story (y'know, cause I'm a self-centered egocentric prick so everything's gotta be about me):
So, I've just graduated high school. Wasn't all that exciting. A dyke friend of mine mentions to me, "Hey! Y'know how we just had prom? Well there's another one going on in Vancouver, much like ours, except gay. You should come."
And since I'm a person with a penis who occasionally likes other people who happen to have penises, I respond, "Yeah sure."
Then, she followed up with, "Sweet! See ya there... well if I can find a ride with someone."
So I give her a ride since she had asked so passive-agressively, show up, meet a few guys, a few dances a few make-outs yadda yadda. It's all good, until I get talkin' with the guys. All they want to talk about is being gay. Like it's their whole identity, like it's all they do. How they just wish they'd be accepted the way they are, that they wouldn't be treated any differently, yadda yadda, bleeding hearts of the world unite. Then they ask me what I think of the whole deal.
"Yeah I don't really give a fuck."
"You're gay aren't you?!" Like this automatically meant I cared.
"Nah, I'm Angus, nice to meet you,"
"Ha, very funny," said with a face like it's the least funny thing ever. "But you like guys?"
"Yeah."
"Then you're gay."
"Not really, I dig chicks too."
"So you're Bi?"
"Nah, I go through phases usually I prefer chicks though."
"So you're straight?"
"I don't think you can say that once you've fondled a dick."
These guys, who are supposedly trying to raise awareness for some sort of penultimate "Gay Cause" are usually the biggest hypocrites. They can't wrap their head around somebody who hasn't tailored their sexuality into one of three little boxes.
Honestly, boxes don't matter. Nobody can really, fairly be put in one. So if somebody pokes a lil' fun at a stereotype, don't worry about it because chances are you aren't going to fit it perfectly, so it's not like they're making fun of you. If they're making a generalization that isn't true, don't worry about, you know it's not, let them keep their ignorance. If they're saying something that is true, well, fucking deal with it, it's fact.
"Faggot!"
"Um, yeah. Wow, you really got me there, way to go champ."
Anyways back to the game about the chubby princess, "chubby people like to eat". Yeah, usually true. But not always, I know a few people who eat pretty healthy and in normal amounts who's metabolisms can just never seem to keep up. Those people it's not true for don't got to worry about it because they know the joke's not about them, and the people that matter to them know that.
Y'know similar stereotype that applies to me, (y'know, self-centered guy I am) "fags are wimps". Yeah, usually true. But not always, I've been in rugby matches and wrestling matches where I've taken out guys who were rather simply way bigger and stronger than me physically. I could do this because they were wimps, too busy with spray-on tans and how much they could bench to actually man-up, get their heads in the game and fight like real men. I don't worry about the stereotypes associated with my sexuality, because I know I don't fit them, and so do the people whose opinions matter to me.
Long story short, people need to quit bitching about words and stereotypes.

(sorry i dont get it)
It's great you are so comfortable with your ambiguous sexuality, but why be so hard on everyone? I think it's important to talk about these things reasonably without having this knee-jerk "oh no, it's the PC police" reaction. It's just as predictable as the PC police itself. If both sides would just chill out we might actually be able to have an interesting conversation.
Yeah I get people wanting to talk about it. It's just frustrating when people take one little aspect of themselves and make it their entire identity. They didn't want to talk about what it was like graduating from school, whether they were gonna work or go to University, what their plans for the summer were, what music they liked, if they played sports, were they into art etc. Whenever I tried to steer the conversation somewhere else they turned it right back.
Not to mention it was supposed to be the sort of prom where you don't have to constantly be explaining yourself. Yet I was constantly having to explain and defend myself from these supposedly open-minded people. That's the bit that got to me.
But you got a point, I was rather harsh I suppose. But I've been awake since yesterday, graveyard shifts kinda fuck with my rationality. Gonna go take a nap, probly realize how dumb I sound when I wake up and hide this whole mess.
If I'm not about to sleep with you, you don't need to know.
If you're at a gay prom, it should be taken as a given that you at least enjoy the sexual company of the same sex and just leave that subject out of the conversation because a) its not important and b) there are better things to talk about. If these people have to be so constantly reaffirming about their sexuality then they are probably in doubt of it themselves. Not all gay people are whining twats with fewer balls than a swimming pool but a lot of them are.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. Its up to every generation in that group if they're going to reinforce the stereotype again or try and break it. I get angry every time I see videos or photos from gay pride parades as its just an image of homosexuality which I don't recognise and certainly don't see as genuine.
I could go on for pages and pages on this issue, it inspires a great deal of anger in me.
I can also see how a bunch of gays standing around talking about being gay could be really annoying and dull. But it will probably get better as you get a little older and people get more comfortable with themselves.
"I don't think you can say that once you've fondled a dick."
Ths made me laugh considerably.
I've had/have friends who are in same-sex relationships, I've holidayed with gay guys and so on, I've really no problem with somebody's sexuality... But BY GOD I hate and despise people who make their sexuality a major facet of their personality that is constantly in your face.
Gay, fat, minority group... The people who shout the loudest are usually the biggest goddamn hypocrites of all.
Nice writeup fag.
Good on you sir :D
alright
