That is total horseshit, absolute and complete bolox, you have no idea whatsoever what even a tiny proportion of the people viewing these forums think, and pretending you do is absurd.
You don't even know how many of them are swapping between different forums.
And frankly if your argument is "there are more heteros on this site so we should get what I say we want" then you've gone from being reasonable and shouty to angry and homophobic in a single leap. Deal with it.
i never pretended i knew what people thought...maybe you should reread what i said instead of becoming hysterical...i proffered my opinion, that i would *WAGER* that a "significant" portion of 321 people viewing the straight forum at that time were happy with the change...not just me.
"significant" is an amount or effect that is large enough to be important or affect a situation to a noticeable degree.
simple as.
and frankly, your overly presumptive attack that you even suggest that i said "there are more heteros on this site so we should get what I say we want" is also rather pathetic.
how exactly do you make the leap from wagering that a significant amount of people are happy with the change in one small part of the forum to be an open declaration that there are more heterosexuals on this site so i say we should get what we want? Talk about irrational.
you have gone from sane and rational, to furious, accusatory and irrational in a single toe-step...not even a leap.
Laughable, who're you the porn police? Everything is black and white for you isn't it. Telling.
no, i am not the porn police...i was asked my opinion about the location and gist of a thread and where it may fall in terms of categorization, i gave what in my view was an honest description of where i thought it would fall. It was hardly black and white.
I gave my definition of when a scene might be categorized as gay or bi, as opposed to straight.
it is telling that you cannot handle the opinions of others.
Again you think this attitude convinces anyone that you have an openminded attitude towards the sensitivities of other people ? You think anyone now believes you when you protest that you're not a homophobe? I'm not even saying you are one, but you're doing a damn good job imitating one.
I think it is amusing that you are accusing me of being closeminded towards others' sensitivities, when you and others here are starting a war over others' sensitivity merely because a forum was separated with order and consideration.
I do not care what people who throw around the term homophobe with such casual disregard and careless abandon think of me, especially when you do not even have the guts to make the accusation, but are couching your opinion by suggesting the imitation of a bigot, simply because you cannot be considerate of others' sensibilities on one very tiny issue of a larger picture.
I have a gay parent, i have a gay cousin and i have gay friends. I had a close friend, who was closeted, and who made a very physical sexual pass at me, 20 years ago, that destroyed our friendship and caused me great emotional distress and traumatized me completely...he had no right to do that. I had a father whose penchant for gay sex virtually destroyed my family and my mother...he had no right to do that.
I have had gays make passes at me casually when i was younger, and, to my credit, even with all the shit that i was put through in the past because of certain elements of gay sexual exposure, i still managed to be pleasant, kind, and dealt with it like a fair and decent adult, with humor, a smile and appreciation but a "thanks for the compliments but i'll take a pass"...
and even with all the shit that my experiences with the gay sex issue put me through, i *STILL* managed to be a decent person, i still support every part of the gay agenda on every single level...and the fight for equality...
the only thing i do not support is straight people, who are not comfortable seeing gay sex acts, being forced to take the risk of seeing something they do not want to which can be traumatic.
Apparently, i am now a homophobe, because i do not want to have to possibly see gay sex acts because of just how upsetting they can be to a straight person, and asked for a bit of consideration to insure that there is a safety net to help insure that i am not exposed to something i find very upsetting. You do not have the right to level baseless accusations simply because i asked for consideration, maybe you are the intolerant one here.
Nobody is telling you to get back in the closet.
Nobody is telling you to not have gay sex.
Nobody is telling you not to post videos of gay sex.
People asked for some basic consideration of their feelings.
I would think considering people that throw the term "homophobia" around so casually, might wish to think what type of effects *THEIR* comments and sensibilities might have on others.
phobia, is as stated, a strong and irrational fear or hatred of something.
My feelings towards the unwitting viewing of gay sex are indeed strong, but they are not filled with hate, and they are not irrational at all, based on my previous experiences and the very serious and at times very upsetting consequences that it can bring.
They are very real, and they are very uncomfortable for some people. The fact that you cannot even take those people's feelings in to consideration speaks more to your lack of tolerance than mine.
I say go and have and view as much gay sex as you want...i will fight for your rights to do it...in return, all i and others ask is for some *BASIC CONSIDERATION*.
I am sorry that this is such a difficult task for you...but obviously, the moderating team and site owner, made up of straights, gays, and bi's felt that consideration was not too much to ask for, and was not out of bounds.
This will be my last post in this thread, as i will no longer waste time arguing with people for whom basic consideration has now become a virtual hate crime issue and a platform for unfounded and inaccurate accusations of homophobia.
Save the accusations for people who really *ARE* out to get you and who have no compulsion about not saying it out loud.
