Well I know it's obvious, but I came from a pretty conservative small town where macho bullshit reigned and being seen as gay was worthy of scorn. Therefore, being called gay or fag was an insult, so people tried to avoid it at all costs. Sadly, this sort of ignorance has persisted and some people - even as adults, can't differentiate between what actually is gay and what isn't, so they misrepresent things and get offended at the suggestion someone finger their butthole. In reality, sex is and can be wonderful and creative. I think too many people are shutting themselves off to great experiences due to a misapplication of logic. In this case, lots of straight guys I know are turned off by butt stuff not because they don't like it, but because they think they might like it and that would make them gay, thus invalidating their status as straight. |
Not an issue in my city, thankfully, but the occasional homophobic statements masked as "funny remarks" in local social media really make me roll my eyes. I mean, at the end of the day those are just dumb commets in Facebook, Instagram, etc., but all this stuff isn't going to become normalized if all that shit continues.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
