I don't understand how that's relevant to how this topic has been handled so far or even the comments you quoted.
This isn't even a Straight Pride thread <_<;

Well, I see the point of the link now. But still, perhaps giving an explanation rather than a passive-aggressive response would have served to leave things less to interpretation (for people who wake up way too **censor** late in the afternoon, like me!).

Either way, I agree that straight pride shouldn't have to be a thing. People still need to learn to grow up and accept the fact that people are different and we can't do shit about it. But for real, can we not turn this into a discussion about 'pride' movements and shit? That's not what I came here for and that's why I was nervous about this thread to begin with. Pretty sure Hollow didn't post it for that reason, either.

Look at you, lying yourself

Obey, cut the trolling; pretty sure that's something we have warrant to stop. You're gonna get yourself into trouble.

The point of this thread is simply to see if there are/who are straight people on the forums. That is all this is. Just because the focus is on straight people doesn't mean it's about pride.

I speak as a non-straight person.

Now stop causing a scene. Last warning.

The tone is not what i think he is referring to but rather the context and aggressive nature of it in itself.
Rude at best.
Im not one to throw slander and put downs but all i've seen from this thread, for the most part, is childish bickering and passive aggressive remarks that need not ruin the tranquility of the site. The main reason people even show up into the fandom is to embody an alternate persona to carry on a second life that is what anyone person decides to make of it. To escape the harsh reality and idiocy that haunts our actual lives. Instead people will be people and make the decision to bring instigation into our safe haven.
I'm straight, 100% heterosexual. This isnt to say that i dislike homosexuals, bi, trans, or anyone else that fits into any other category. The only difference between them and straight people is their sexual orientation. No reason to discriminate on them for any reason. They are human. Get over your pitiful self if you cannot handle the truth.
Would like very much to become a mod one day!

Deep inside, even though I know how harmless this thread was and was supposed to be, I knew someone would start something like this in here like in the LGBT. This is the ultimate end to threads like these.

Mort triggered this. Blame him :V
(This is one of these situations, where I lose control over myself)

Dammit, beat me to it Evna. My forum was lagging, no fair!

It's like I said in my very first post in the topic. I had a bad feeling this topic was going to be the one that had problems for its mere existence. :U

Of course Radio steals my spot for the long post. Gosh.

Nick: You jinxed it! Take your spanking.


In all seriousness though, I can't help but to wonder why it's so hard for people to be nice to someone else. When did we start focusing so much on our differences and not our similarities? :c makes me sad.

I agree. Like I said in my initial post, its especially baffling when people apart of communities that preach accepting differences and whatnot, tend not to show it themselves.

If you are able to state that you are aware that you lose control over yourself. It'd most likely be best for you to drift away from threads that could possibly end up leading to situations where emotions are likely to raise. It's like reaching your hand a fire and expecting it not to burn you eventually. No one person can influence your actions, you have no one but yourself to blame for that. If what he says affects you in any way, you have your options of talking it over with a moderator or taking it into pm's with that one person in particular. Don't go raging blindly when you do this. Always consider every perspective to get the best view on a subject at hand.


I'm going to create a new thread genre for us all to ease away the stress of the day that may be carried and stored away. At some point...

It can be dehumanizing for both sides of the coin when stuff like that happens, y'know?


Be kind to others, don't assume that because they're different than you that they have suffered any less or any more than you have, because ultimately y'dunno. That's the way I try to live.

Sexuality and identity are incredibly sensitive topics, and people are going to get fired up about one side or the other. Thing is, here on the forum, nobody has armor against being moderated for getting out of hand. I think we should all just be glad that nothing incredibly got out of hand.

I'm just hoping that one day that people won't have to educate anyone on why it's okay to have this sexuality or that. It's a feeling, something every human has an undeniable right to have.

Personally I don't really care about orientation and apart from the couple friends who're getting married I couldn't name a single orientation. Why should it matter? If I want to do the deed with someone, sure, I'll want to know, but apart from that?

Letting your orientation be _the_ defining value about yourself is...idk. Can't wrap my head around that.
