just thought id point this out...almost no one(if any at all), who has read your posts, really believes you have gay friends.  

Your right, because nobody can get their heads around the fact that a Christian can be friends with a homosexual. They are all too narrow minded and can't see past initial differences.Not calling all of VGChartz narrow minded as I am pretty sure you are wrong and many aren't narrow minded. I fully believe that some if not many users actually realize that I do have gay friends.  I have a lot of friends who have radically different views then my own and we get along fine, sometimes we fight like any other friends do but we see past these minor differences.

Considering the fact that I am not a homophobic, I don't see any reason why I can't be friends with a homosexual or two. I mean its not like I hate gays or have any animosity against gays. I don't like the gay rights movement and disagree with gay marriage. So yah I do at times have disputes regarding these issues. However my friends aren't shallow inconsiderate pricks, I grew up with them they understand me and I am very accepting of them regardless of whether we agree or disagree.

Also to be honest of my gay friends one lives on the other end of the country and the other I don't hang out with as much as I used too. Those two being my primary gay friends I have a couple others who are more like acquaintances now.

But its extremely narrow minded to think that people can't look past certain beliefs and get along. I have a friend who is Muslim who says Christian's should be forced to convert at gun point. He scares me a little but guess what I talked to him last week and were supposed to have dinner again soon.

Why because I and others who are mature and good human beings don't judge people based on religion or sexual orientation. At least we try not to, I try to love everyone regardless of what they believe and that leads to me being friends with a large variety of people. I can't see why its anyones business who I am friends with?

Not to mention I don't see really why I should care what a few users on VGChartz think, just because they are to narrow minded to see how I could be friends with a homosexual while holding my certain religious beliefs doesn't discourage me.

Also anyone hoping I am going to suddenly change tune and deny my friends existence because of judgmental jerks saying my friendships don't exist is really mistaken. Read all my posts on the subject, Mr.Bubbles you have read many, have I ever denied having gay friends? Have I ever contradicted the fact that I have gay friends?

I have never recanted the fact I have gay friends, I will never recant the fact I have gay friends. Whether some users on VGChartz believe or not is really up to them, but honestly I see no reason why I should give a crap. I mean the only ones who make this an issue are the ones who have a problem with me being Christian or a different view on gay marriage and the rights movement.

People will always pick and choose what they believe to make themselves feel better. Its easier for someone to attack me as homophobic if they deny the fact that I have gay friends and sympathies with many homosexuals. Its hard to demonize someone when they aren't actually that bad. People need to make excuses so that their ideologies and opinions sound logical.

I can't see it catching on with the gay community either, it's an incredibly small portion that actually behave in this manner. But keep deluding yourself if it helps your religious agenda.


Dude why do you have to drag religion into the conversation.

Incredibly rich coming from you, what the fuck does homosexuality have to do with this conversation? Other than your predetermined judgemental opinion.

Do you always have to go there? honestly can't we have a decent conversation about a subject without you attacking my religious beliefs? How exactly would me believing homosexuals will buy these clothes possibly vallidate or support my religious agenda?

What does God somehow believe only gays can wear feminine clothing? Which part of my religious beliefs has anything at all to do with the sales of clothing?

Please leave your low blows out of threads that have nothing to do with them.

Again, your entire post was a low blow, and I'm fed up of your ridiclous passive aggressive ignorant 'Oh me? I'm innocent, I didn't say anything wrong' Doesn't wash with me.

I mean next time I see you in a thread about a Shooter game where you shoot civilians I should say that it fits in perfectly with your atheist life style or something absurd and offensive like that. The subject has absolutely nothing to do with my religious beliefs.

As for whether the homosexual community will buy the clothes. I agree none of my gay friends wear women's clothes other then belly shirts and really tight revealing pants. But their is most definitely a market if you go to the gay areas of Vancouver(Canada) or Phuket (Thailand)you will see a ton of homosexuals who are wearing female clothes. These aren't simply drag princesses they wear the clothes because they find it appealing.

Is the market big enough to support these products? Not at the moment but I think it could grow if the gay community begins adopting these fashions. Outside of the gay community I see very little market for such products, this is not an insult to the gay community. Homosexuals just seem to care more about their outer appearance then most straight men.

So please keep your responses to posts on topic and civil. No reason to begin throwing religion into everything you disagree with. Heck whats happening to this site that users can't discuss a topic civilly without some user dragging religion into the subject. Its really immature and drags the sites credibility down. Just look at all the recent threads and posts from users sick and tired of religion being brought up every single time someone disagrees with another user.

So again stay on topic, I have no problem talking to you about the subject in a respectful and mature manner. But if your going to constantly take cheap shots at my beliefs, their is no point in even responding!

I'll respond however the fuck I like thanks. There are probably just as many overweight straight religious men that wear their wives underwear when they go out as there are gay guys interested in this shit, based on ... oh yeah, no evidence at all, like yours.

Your entire post was meant as a thinly veiled insult to gays, but news flash, majority of gay guys arent flamboyant or camp or into that. It just shows how very very little you know about gays, but then ... this isn't surprising.

And please don't harp on about the fact you have gay friends, they're obviously self loathers if they're friends with you.


Man you are acting vein. Homosexuality has to do with this subject because that is probably going to be where the largest male market is for this clothing. I have re-read all my statements and can't see how in any way I insulted any homosexuals in any way. In fact I said gay men tend to care more about there outward appearance then straight males so clothes like this will probably appeal to them first. Secondly gay males while they don't all like feminine clothes are the largest market out of males for those clothes. Of course metro sexuals will likely also be a market.

I don't see how in any way I was being offensive unless you are offended by fashion sense and think males who wear feminine clothing are somehow less human then you?

As for my evidence, yah I've been at the gay clubs in Vancouver and I've been in boy town Phuket (Thailand) have you? When was the last time you were in a gay club?  I was at one a few months ago May to be exact. Then you want to insult my homosexual friends, how dare you take pot shots at them I don't give a shit who you think you are you have no right to go around insulting them. I may have opinions on some gay issues but I don't go around verbally assaulting homosexuals or attacking them on a personal level.Self loathers, geez that's a low blow. Again I am not a freaking homophobic so stop your self righteous bull shit!

BS. 'I may have my opinion on some gay issues' you sure have, thus making any of your gay friends self loathers, they would tolerate you at best. That's like a racist having black friends.

In fact I probably have a greater knowledge of homosexuals then you do. I actually have gay friends have been in gay clubs and have been in other countries homosexual districts. Infact mister United Kingdom which gay communities have you been in? Have you been to San Fran (I have) have you been to Boy town Phuket (I have) have you been to the gay clubs in these cities and Vancouver (I have). Whats the biggest gay community in the UK anyways? I mean outside of the gay pride parade in London is there others in the rest of the country? Have you actually been to a pride parade? How many gay friends do you have? How many did you grow up with? Did people ever think you were gay? What kind of knowledge of homosexuality do you have outside of what you see in movies?

You're religious, homophobic, I'm a gay guy and you have no clue as to the places I've been, do me a favour, you don't know anything about homosexuality other than, like I said early, your preconcieved homophobic notions.

You see I don't talk about shit I don't have personal experiences to back up. I probably have more experience dealing with homosexuals, being friends with homosexuals and dealing with political issues regarding the homosexual movement then you do in three life times. Of course homosexual users on here of course understand homosexual issues better then I do. But you aren't gay and unless you are I out rank you on experience.

Yes I am, and again, you have no clue on where and what I have done in my life.

In fact while I'm not gay I have no bias as someone who is gay. So one gay or even ten gays saying they wouldn't want to wear any female style clothing isn't going to cloud my judgement because I've seen Boy Town and the gay clubs and know that make up and women style clothing does get worn, maybe not by the majority but it definitely does. A much larger market for that stuff then in the straight market. Which is what my whole post was about!

As for my post being a low blow, how the hell was it a low blow? It wasn't in any way an attack on homosexuals, it was a comment based on the marketing capabilities of the companies and their strongest market. I was talking about the topic and any issue regarding homosexuality was not in my mind. I was refering strictly to the marketing capabilities of the product.

It was a low blow and you know it. This ISN'T most likely to catch on with the gay community. There are as many straight men that try on their wives clothes than guys that would dare put this on. Of all the hundreds, nay thousands of gay guys I've met, spoken too, such a small significant portion would even dream of wearing this crap, popular or not.

 

I stopped reading here, I've heard from others here not to entertain your silly posts.

I'm glad you see your response as un-civil and "really immature and drags the sites credibility down".

Listen my religious beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Nor was my post in any way an attack on gay people. Your post however was a direct attack on my faith. You assumed I was attacking gays because you want desperatly to believe I am a homopobe. I never mentioned religion.

So yah at least you realize your being immature and un-civil saying you'll respond however the heck you want.

Geez Seece, no reason to always go on the offensive and attack users. Whats with the anti-religious sentiment of writers at VGChartz. First Runa takes pot shots at religious people then you go out derail a thread by bringing God and Christianity into a topic where it does not belong. Your personal vendetta against myself based on the fact that I am a Christian should remain out of threads unless they are related to the topic or posts.

Do I sometimes say something wrong, yah I do but when I do and it is pointed out I quickly acknowledge my faults. Fact is this was not one of those cases. I was not intending too nor do I see in the posts any offense made. Also why is it so offensive for a male to wear female clothing? Why do you think its so offensive for a gay guy to want to dress in clothes that make them appear sexy?

High heels to be honest would definitely make the chest more visible and if you have a decent chest I am pretty sure it would be a good look. Might not work for an over weight guy but get someone with a six pack in em and girls/homosexuals would likely take notice. Also guys are also worried about height so whats wrong with someone wanting to appear taller?

When I was in shape I wore a Speedo sometimes, it was pretty awsome but I guess you think that I'm a sick a-hole for wearing clothes that resemble girls because obviously I think gays are sicko's for wanting to wear feminine clothes (Sarcasm for all the idiots out there who will try to make it sound like me being homophobic)

However straight guys have this whole macho vibe and will be less willing to try out new fashions like the ones in this article. Where as gay guys care more about appearance their is nothing wrong with them wanting to use high heels to show off the chest or what ever else they want them to show off.

Want proof go down to a beach and see how many macho straight guys are wearing speedo's? Your not going to find many and why is that? Is it because Speedo's look bad? Sure if your over weight but if you have a good body then a speedo is definitely a good way to extenuate that. Gay guys are more comfortable with their bodies and image then straight guys are. They aren't afraid to wear make up or show skin like many straight guys are. Honestly the gay guys I know look a lot better then most of the straight guys I know. (Except my friend who is obsessed with his image and body builds hours a day).

In fact if homosexuals bought up at ton of this stuff and began wearing it, the more insecure straight guys who are worried about their masculinity would likely follow suit. Straight guys are always trying to put on this macho act, they don't wanna look like girls. But gay guys don't care so much about this whole macho image, they care about looking good.

I don't think their is a market for this at the moment outside of the gay community. This has nothing to do with my personal beliefs it simply has to do with fact. Macho self absorbed men aren't going to buy clothes that they relate to women. They are worried about appearing non-masculine and are too proud to wear something just because it makes them look good. Metro sexuals and gays on the other hand will be more willing to purchase such clothing.  As for the fetish market a user mentioned about over weight Christian guys wearing panties. I don't think that this fashion company is really wanting their clothes to be sold as fetish supplies. They want these clothes to sell as fashion icons.

Marketing these products towards people with fetishes would be extremely narrow minded. Also nobody is going to buy the product because their straight friend has some fetish about it. But if they see their gay friend wearing it, or multiple other people wearing it, the stigma will lift and this could catch on!

If you think I'm gonna read all of that you got another thing coming. Just a tip, no need for the wall o text, doesn't make you any more right.

Have fun with your homophobic attacks in the future

Alright so your homosexual. I should probably have known that but I don't talk to you enough. So yes you do have more experience then I do I guess I was wrong. Its just so many a-holes want to talk crap about homosexuals and myself who actually do not have a clue of what they are talking about.I am very sorry for the misunderstanding, I did not mean to offend you in any way. I'm just sick of all the idiots talking trash who have no gay friends or ever been to a gay club. Of course I am not going to completely understand homosexuality as I am not gay myself. But I try to do my best to do so.

I'll re-iterate , No it was not a veiled attack on homosexuals. It was a logical post that was based around what I have seen and what the market would be.

Also why the hell do you think I'm a homophobic? Give me a good reason? Have I ever actually called a homosexual anything? Have I ever said I am afraid of homosexuals? Have I ever stated I hate homosexuals?

Your basis for calling me a homophobic is solely based on my religious beliefs and my political stance against gay marriage and the oppression of the gay rights movement. However I do not see these as reasons to dislike another human being, as I said I have many friends who believe radically different then I do and honestly I don't let those beliefs get in the way of friendship. I have friends who are gay, Liberal, socialist, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist , agnostic. If I were to list all the friends that I have fundamental disagreements with I'd have to say their isn't a single friend I would have left. Well actually I'd have one but she's not even one of my closer friends.Infact I disagree with my pastor on issues I disagree with my best friends on issues.

My Muslim friend thinks that all Christian's should be forced to convert at gun point. Yet you know what we get along I just try to avoid the subject. I have a much harder time seeing how I am friends with him compared to a homosexual that doesn't think I should convert at gun point.

You say I don't know you, obviously I don't. You may know a little about my religious and political views however judging by your responses about me being homophobic you either don't know much about me. Or you hold a prejudiced bias against Christian's and Conservatives.

As for the guy who told you to stop reading and replying to my silly posts. Considering your a writer I am guessing that was Runa and I also know some other staff and members here do disagree with me. But listening to a writer who the majority of people posting in his thread proved he was out of line and not being professional is really stupid.

Is this short enough for you? I'll try shortening my responses in the future so that you can actually read them. I'm sorry if the wall of text seemed over whelming!

Men wearign tights/leggings is nothing new, in fact its ancient =p That was the norm back in the medieval period. Of course, they didnt look so outright horrible, but were more of a subtle variety.Hell, kilts also were/are fairly normal in areas too, I know a lot of canadians that wear utilikilts, etc.

As for all of the things mentioned in the poll, no. You can say its not drag all you like, it still looks like cross dressingto me =p

Not that I really care if you believe me or not. But at least you don't resort to calling me a homophobic and attacking my beliefs so good on you Mr.Bubbles.

Honestly I have a lot of friends and situations that are very hard to believe, most of which I have not even mentioned here online. I was told I should write a biography and tell my stories, since I am a writer a lot of my friends think people would be interested in some of the fucked up things that have happened in my life or with my friendships.

However I don't think biographies are that great, I would rather create something fiction and have a few novels (Unpublished).

But honestly no I do have a lot of stories that are true, but not all of them are really believable. I know they are true and I will speak of them as true because that's what they are. If you don't believe them then don't believe them, I notice you don't call me a liar like many other users do. I appreciate that, just because your skeptical and don't believe you don't try to attack me on the subject rather you address it maturely.

Also yes I am aware their are Christian homosexuals. Both of my main homosexual friends are Christians, its just a lot of people here on VGChartz do not understand how that is possible. Like a stupid thread that said all Christian's hate homosexuals just because its in the Bible that homosexuality is a sin. Of course its crap like that , which forms my opinions on how Christians are viewed.

It doesn't help that no matter how much I say I am not homophobic, no matter my actions I am stereotyped based on a few political and religious views.

Not everyone who is against gay marriage hates gay people, not everyone who doesn't like how the gay movement treats church's and straights hates gay people.

Its like if your democrat, do all democrats hate Republican's? They shouldn't because despite having some big differences they are all human beings and if they got to know each other for who they were they would probably find a lot in common.

My views on gay people is they are no different then you or I, they are human beings who deserve equality and respect. My political opinions on how they get that equality and respect may differ, but fundamentally I do not have any hatred or dislike or any form of anger or such towards anyone who is gay based on their sexual orientation.

So yes it is very hurtful and annoying to constantly get called a homophobic. I understand Seece and other gay members here obviously are going to believe differently then my political standpoints, I haven't met any Christian homosexuals on VGChartz so for the most part I see differently on that subject as well.

But to demonize someone based on a little difference in opinion is just hurtful. When did I ever intentionally say anything hurtful to a gay user? When have I ever intentionally insulted a gay user? (No not this thread anyone reading it can see I was not trying to attack gays) Even Seece said it was a veiled attack which just shows that even he didn't see it as direct and I can say honest to God I never intended it to be an attack. In fact Seece says I am uneducated and don't know enough about being gay, well if that is the case then how can he expect me to understand? I am trying my hardest and do with my friends as much as possible. I have never tried to offend anyone who is gay, and I do my best to try and understand it. I am observing not experiencing.

I apologized to Seece for not knowing he was gay, but honestly I'm really sick of all the bull shit. Just because you don't believe me doesn't mean you have the right to go around saying stuff about me which is based on nothing concrete. (Which to my knowledge Mr.Bubbles you have not done)

Its sorta stupid that this thread got derailed into yet another debate as to whether I am homophobic or attacking gay people. It happens far to often anytime I mention gays in any way no matter what I say I always get attacked as homophobic. I even created a thread about how gays should be treated equally and somehow it reverted back into yet another thread with me being called a homophobe.

Sorry for another wall of text!

I think there is a market for man high heels, the homosexual market is growing by leaps and bounds and I'm sure alot of gay men would love to get their hands on male high heels. For all of us straight folk however we'd rather be caught dead then wearing these, but if gay people start wearing them everywhere eventually groups of straight people will as well.

Also the man bikini, lol I don't think even girls would be interested in seeing their husbands and boyfriends cover their chests. Its far more attractive for girls to see a males chest unless they are over weight like myself. I can't see this catching on with men outside of the gay community. Infact it appears uncomfortable compared to trunks and even a speedo would look more appealing!

Especially if Hollywood supports this move, we could see it slowly adopted over say 30-50 years. But I doubt that males right now are going to be buying these things in large quantities. Heck even girls I know rarely wear high heels they break them out for special occasions and such. I can't see male high heels catching on in the near future!



Sooooo funny! I'm saving it!



Signature goes here!

Off topic: I can't believe the length some people (JoeCool7) are arguing over something like this..... who cares, move on people. Passive aggressiveness runs in forums like wild fire anyway... The more you respond, the more you're giving people what they want.

PS: All of these clothing options are socially constructed to be "feminine" anyway.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

I want some male high heels. I would be an even more bad ass ninja if I could do it all in high heels.
